Ball Race is a ball-racing Game World inspired by Super Monkey Ball.

Gameplay

In Ball Race, players race to the end of a series of levels by rolling around in orbs. Each level is set on a series of floating platforms, and much of the challenge of the Game World is based around learning to control the orb's slippery controls to avoid bumping into obstacles or falling off the levels.

Each player has three lives. Players can lose lives by falling off of a level or by touching certain obstacles. If one or more players reach the end of a level, everyone will move to the next one. If no one reaches the end in time, or everyone loses all of their lives, the level will need to be attempted again. If everyone loses at the second attempt, the game will move on to the next level.

Players are rewarded for reaching 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place each round. While racing is encouraged, melons scattered around the levels also encourage players to slow down or explore parts of levels that are usually ignored. There are three golden melons hidden throughout the levels of every map; collecting these for the first time will award the player with an achievement, but there is no reward for collecting them all after this.
