That being said, it would have been nice to see the team conjure a celebratory way to tie all these titles together, especially considering it's the series' anniversary. The term 'Story Mode' is used very loosely with little narrative weight pushing you from one seemingly random world to the next, but that's not what we're here for.

Packing in Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2 and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, there are over 300 stages to test your mantle on, each with unique challenges such as collecting a certain amount of bananas or finding a secret exit.īundling all this together is a very, very flimsy narrative that plays out in the style of a comic book style TV show.

While it initially seems to be an extremely basic premise, it's not long before you're engaging in a series of challenging gauntlets that will have you tearing your hair out. All you have to do is tilt the maps in such a way that your loveable monkey rolls to the goal, collecting bananas along the way. The simple premise is easy to grasp, but challenging to master. If you've never played Super Monkey Ball before then fear not. While it occasionally feels stuck in the past, Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is mostly a love letter to the cult classic. Whether you're a series veteran or a newcomer, the latest instalment aims to compact 20 years of bouncing, tilting history into one package. Can you believe the Super Monkey Ball series is 20 years old? We can't either, but 2021 is the year of the monkey and SEGA is celebrating its iconic hero AiAi and friends with Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, a completely remastered collection of three fan-favourite titles in the franchise.
