by Rainier on Aug. 11, 2021 @ 2:42 p.m. PDT

Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a modern HD remaster of the original three Super Monkey Ball games (Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe).

Go bananas with the definitive remaster of the iconic original Super Monkey Ball games, celebrate 20 years of AiAi and your favorite monkey gang as you roll and maneuver through dazzling worlds when the ultimate Super Monkey Ball adventure launches.

Over 300 lovingly recreated levels and mazes, 12 fun minigames, and a delightful cast of characters make their return to the wondrous worlds of Super Monkey Ball in this faithful remaster – perfectly timed to celebrate 20 years of monkey magic.

Roll, tilt, and bounce through imaginative worlds as AiAi and his all-star cast of monkey friends race to thwart the nefarious schemes of evil monkey mad scientist Dr. Bad-Boon! No banana is safe in this epic new Monkey Ball adventure, featuring modern graphics and features, immersive comic book-style storytelling, 4-player local coop, online challenges and leaderboards, and a barrel’s worth of new playable characters that rekindle the magic of the iconic originals. 


SEGA revealed that beloved duo Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles “Tails” Prower are rolling into Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania as playable characters! The Blue Blur and his two-tailed sidekick will be free and unlockable through normal gameplay on all platforms.

This special birthday collaboration celebrates the respective 20th and 30th Anniversaries of Super Monkey Ball and Sonic The Hedgehog, with Sonic and Tails joining the monkey gang sporting classic character models that honor their historic legacy. Both characters will be playable in all 300+ levels and collect rings in lieu of bananas as they speed through the wondrous worlds of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania.

Sonic fans will enjoy playing as classic versions of their favorite characters, which celebrate their historic legacy over the years. Little touches like replacing AiAi’s favorite bananas with Sonic’s rings, or Sonic’s Spin Attack when he builds up pace add to the authenticity. Both can be unlocked for free from the Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania point shop by accruing points from gameplay (time required will vary but most players will be able to do it within 30 minutes of play).

In addition to the standard edition of the game, SEGA will also release a Digital Deluxe edition of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania featuring six additional classic character skins, three legendary console skins, 10 customizable Items and classic soundtrack. There will also be a special 20th Anniversary Edition of the game available at retail outlets that includes an art book, reversible cover, collectable sleeve and 10 cosmetic Items.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, rated E 10+, will release on October 5, 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam) for $39.99 (console) and $29.99 (PC). The Digital Deluxe edition will retail for $49.99.
