Super Monkey Ball Deluxe Story Mode in an hour (+ 3 minutes and 27 seconds)

Next time, I'll try to beat it UNDER an hour.

You know why Deluxe Story Mode is much better than 2's Story Mode? Because you don't have to play shite levels that takes ages like Curve Bridge/Dribbles/Opera/Flock/Entangled Path/Gimmick/Post Modern.

Totalitarianism, Blocks Slim, Mad Shuffle, Bead Screen, Wormhole, Folders, Tracks, Double Spiral, Floor Slant, Pistons, Soft Cream (twice!), Snake, Twin Attacker, Conveyor Parts, Ant Lion Super, and Mountain were attempted but I decided against these levels because they were taking too long whether by falling out too many times, or just not having good strats for these levels prepared.

Anything not even played are also most likely levels I'm going to be staying away from. Chipped Pipes? Fun. Combination? That strat is good and usually works. Excursion? Such a satisfying skip. Trampolines? Hell yes. But Curve Bridge? So boring and almost impossible to time-bonus. Crazy Maze? Sorry, I still don't know get the time bonus on that level, let alone beat it within 15 seconds. Don't even ask about Gimmick, Invisible, and Post Modern.

However, not all of the levels I didn't even touch are going to be no-shows in future playthroughs. I actually located pretty good strats for a few levels such as Fluctuation and possibly Giant Comb, and some of the other levels are pretty good alternatives for levels I died on a few times but still passed. I'm sure the death count would be lower if I played Mixer and Rings instead of insisting on completing Carpet and Checker.
