Outside of story mode, there’s a good variety of side activities players can take on alone, against AI challenges or locally with friends and family. Many maps offer multiple paths that can be taken with the riskier ones offering higher rewards, while the safer ones tend to be slower but better for first timers. The best part is many stages have many ways they could be solved based on each players own skill and understanding of the controls. As it progresses though things get significantly more challenging with ramps that require a lot of built up momentum to stay on or bumpers that will bounce them off if going too fast. At first this is a simple mechanic, letting them traverse pathways to reach the goal at the end and collect any bananas they wish along the way.
Tilting a direction on the control stick leads the character trapped in a ball to also lean that direction.
Monkey Ball has a wonderfully-unique play style that makes it so darn endearing. Once AiAi or one of his friends jump into their first stage is where the fun begins. Not wanting to give into his threats, AiAi and his friends set off to challenge various levels and stages that await them in order to claim the bananas that belong to everyone, and put an end to his evil plot before it’s too late. Bad-Boon threatens their livelihood by whisking away all the bananas for himself. It revolves around AiAi and his many friends enjoying an everyday activity, when the nefarious Dr. Story in Monkey Ball takes a back seat in favor of gameplay, but there’s still lore going on that players might enjoy because it’s a simple, yet effective and adorable way to set up the crazy premise that all the characters will be going through.
SUPER MONKEY BALL BANANA MANIA REVIEWS SERIES
Then came the big one, the announcement of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, a walk down memory lane to the first two GameCube titles that started it all and made the series as popular as it was. At the time this generally received a mixed reception from fans, but it was nice to see the series gain attention and it was nice to jump back into more Monkey Ball. The crazy cast of monkeys trapped in their transparent balls came back in a triumphant revival in Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz.
