Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania offers language support in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish (although ultimately reading is not required to progress through the game). If those are not your thing, you can just replay levels to try and ‘Perfect!’ them, or beat the high scores of other players on a global leaderboard. The Dark Banana mode is rage-inducing, but I also highly recommend that. There are also more modes you can purchase with points, such as the fully restored SMB 1, 2, and DX levels which I highly recommend grabbing. They will be delegated to only the main game levels however, which is a bit of a shame. You can even purchase other characters to use, the likes of which involve Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza games, Beat from Jet Set Radio, everyone’s favourite blue hedgehog Sonic, and many more. And anything you complete rewards you with plenty of points that you can use to drip out the main monkey cast. Racing, tennis, golf, bowling-honestly these were my favourite part of the game and a great way to unwind. There are plenty of challenge missions players can tackle and many party modes you can play locally with up to three other players. Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania offers much more than just the standard story mode. I did race my family members, but just like when we are outside, no one wants to be seen with me. The game never suggests that the player use it, but the fact that its there saved whatever hair is left on my scalp. Besides, if you truly cannot finish a stage, the game has the option to mark it as “cleared” in exchange for ‘points’, the game’s currency it rewards the players with for stage and challenge completion.

Super Monkey Ball certainly relies on timing for its stage hazards, but I found that trial and error always worked best. Honestly, this never really helped me as many of my gaffes were not because of timing but rather kneejerk reactions that would fling me off the map. For every couple of ‘fall outs’ I had, the game would suggest turning on the ‘Helper’ function-a tool that grants the player the ability to slow down time, doubles the stage’s timer, and points the player in the direction of the goal. There is quite a learning curve to this and I can tell you from a couple hours of retrying some stages, it can be a tough game, but all my fails were on me and I feel that the game offers enough tools to help get players through stages.įor example, I had a really touch time getting through a stage that involved some serious verticality. The player is essentially shifting the stage to get our monkey friends where you want them to go. Remember those ball in a maze toys you would sometimes get from a Happy Meal? Think of the game like that, but your ball has many, many hazards to get through as well as many, many ways to get to your goal. Moving your monkey around is simple enough. Sounds simple enough, but slowly going through a level to pick up bananas is not an option-you are timed in each level! Getting as many bananas as you can while also getting to the goal can quickly become a game of screaming like a monkey at your television set. Like I mentioned prior, Super Monkey Ball is about getting our cast of (adorably named) monkeys to the end of each level while also collecting bananas that are scattered all over the map. (Genghis H./SEGA) Monkey Rolls Up, Monkey Falls Out! Behold, the many ways to scream about monkey business. Read on if you want to see why AiAi, MeeMee, YanYan, GonGon, Baby, and Doctor are worth meeting. But its also a game that I think remasters the old SMB games for a new audience spendidly. And though it might sound simple, it can get fairly complex and almost downright frustrating. Either way, I went into this game as a total newbie, only knowing the bare minimum: that I have to get the monkey-in-a-ball to the end of the level. Or maybe they were the many fever dreams I have had as a kid. Now I think I may have played a Super Monkey Ball game once or twice. And right now one of those happens to be a SEGA IP that is beloved by many that still remember it-Super Monkey Ball! Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios and published by SEGA, Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania combines the many levels and party modes of the first two SMB titles as well as Super Monkey Ball Deluxe on the PlayStation 2. If there is one thing I like about remasters, it is the fact that I can see old IP not able to be saved by the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program to see the light of day once again.
