There’s a bigger learning curve here than in a lot of rolling-style games because it’s equal parts platformer and ball-roller. Most games of this type with platforming in them limit things to jumping, but Sami is able to wall jump and use his tongue to move across large gaps. Movement feels natural and there are more platforming mechanics at play here than in any marble rolling-style game we can recall. Sami rolls around a bit like one would if they were a marble in Marble Madness or Marble Blast Ultra and not like a monkey in Super Monkey Ball since in that series the player is moving the stage around the ball. It’s tough, but always fair and has a diverse lineup of stages that keep things visually interesting. It’s an addictive adventure that tests both your platforming mettle, but also ball-rolling skills as well. Impressively, it starts off with a fully-animated intro showing Sami zooming around and grappling-tongue-ing around the world, impressively showing off what you’ll be experiencing for the core game. Sanzai Games set out to create something that was fast-paced and fun to play for all ages, and largely accomplished that goal. Super Sami Roll is a quaint, challenging ball rolling/platforming hybrid that does a lot right and manages to overcome its few rough edges to deliver an enjoyable experience.
