Mouse controls? I want to use a trackball!

I've always wanted to play this game using my arcade trackball. If SEGA could institute mouse controls, that would be greeeeaat!

The thing about that is it would work but it wouldn't be monkey ball. That would be a really good game though, if someone bundled a trackball with a monkey ball type game made for trackballs that could potentially be awesome. I don't think the way monkey ball played and the level designs would work too well for trackball. I could be wrong though. A lot of sustaining an exact analog stick position in monkey ball. With a trackball you'd have to have sustain the same motion to accomplish that, which is strange on a trackball. You ever play the neo geo arcade game the irritating maze? You'd probably like it with a trackball.

Nonsense, you just move to mouse as much as you want to tilt the board, which then remains in that angle. There's no need for continuous movement and as such it would perfectly work with a trackball, much better than any analogue controller, which in fact is the wrong way to play it, if you remember the original Wii motion controls, which did not need any perpetual movement neither.
