If Super Monkey Ball seems like it’s been around forever, it’s because it has been. The series made its home console premiere in 2001.
Sega have something in store for AiAi and friends to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary in the form of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, an HD remaster compilation of the first three games in the series.
Banana Mania will feature over 300 levels from Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe; along with 12 minigames for players to challenge themselves and their friends at. It seems these classic stages will be given a new wrapping in the form of a new campaign as well as new playable characters.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania will release for all modern platforms on October 5, sandwiched between the 20th anniversary of the Japanese and North American releases of the original Super Monkey Ball on the GameCube.
If you’re a fan of the series and want a little more banana to your Monkey Ball, you’ll be able to grab up either the Digital Deluxe Edition featuring classic skins, customization items, and the classic soundtrack; or you can splurge on the physical 20th Anniversary Edition featuring an art book, collectable sleeve, and further in-game cosmetics.
