An easy way to get a decent amount of points is to land on the buoys. They are worth 500 points and an easy 500 if you just get a Magnet Ball. I got over 4,000 points by doing this.

There are a few warps in the game that can result in more points in the normal levels. In the second level in beginners mode, there is a ramp on the opposite side of the original goal. Climb that ramp slowly and you will fall on a floor beneath it, with the goal that transports you to the fifth floor.

When the mini-game starts, do not move your ball anywhere. There is a spot that you aim for with the "aimer", just to the right of the pins on either side. From a distance, it resembles a skinny vertical gray strip. Try to get the "aimer" in the very center of the gray strip on either side. Then set the power meter all the way up and your spin (L or R) all the way up. If you aim for the right strip, your spin should go left and if you aim for the left strip, your spin should go right. The difficult part is getting the "aimer" directly on that spot. The rest should be easy.

Once you have earned the first 2,500 points in the game, save to memory. Now go to the Mini-games section. One there, you will see options to purchase one of the three mini-games Monkey Pool, Monkey Bowling or Monkey Golf. Each one costs 2,500 points. The trick here is to remove your memory card from the machine at this point. Now you can select whichever mini game you'd like to play and it the game will not deduct the points from your earnings, as it won't be able to save. If you'd like to try a different mini game, simply reset Super Monkey Ball and repeat the process.
