A Rockstar Games project has been reinvented by a modder.
Modder and content creator Blurbs continues to experiment creatively with games. He recently returned to Red Dead Redemption 2.
He invited popular creators to suggest mod ideas, and when PaymoneyWubby wrote, “Make Super Monkey Ball,” Blurbs accepted the challenge.
Blurbs placed the Red Dead Redemption 2 protagonist inside a transparent sphere that rolls across the map. As a result, Arthur Morgan ends up spinning not only during gameplay but also in cutscenes.
The video showcases several mods — the moment with the sphere appears at the 17-minute mark:
On a technical level, the setup works like this: Blurbs built a smartphone app that streams gyroscope data to a PC. That allows him to reproduce authentic Super Monkey Ball controls — the phone issues the “tilt the level” commands.
He also added other game elements, including a timer, a banana counter, and a points tracker.
