It is disappointing to not have it included in the base game like many other remakes would do, but is well worth the £3.99.īut how do you pay for things in this world? With bananas! Veteran Super Monkey Ball players will no doubt be familiar with collecting bananas, but this time around they have a much bigger use as you make the most of the bananas you have collected in the shop to pay for outfits, characters, new modes and more.īanana Mania also rewards additional bananas for pretty much every activity through Missions, where you can quickly rack up vast amounts of bananas from just completing levels.

For existing fans though, the original soundtrack is a must buy. Banana Mania already has several add-on packs. More characters will be available as DLC over time. Banana Mania has an extensive customisation catalogue that allows you to fully change the attire of the main monkeys – though not the supporting cast – and also their balls from the shop. Then there is Kiryu Kazuma from Yakuza, Beat from Jet Set Radio and some lesser known Super Monkey Ball characters from previous entries. Sonic the Hedgehog makes a second appearance after his cameo in Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD, this time joined by Tails too. Some levels do become easier, but likewise some become harder if you do try and move it.Īi Ai and his pals all return for the remake, along with a host of extra characters. The camera can also be controlled, but it depends on the context as to whether if it helps or hinders. Woe betide anyone that purchases this and I find out about it.

And this undoubtedly makes things easier, but at a cost of having to sell your soul to the devil. For starters, there is a jump function available to buy from the shop. Some new quality of life features have been added in, but they will likely feel morally wrong if you’ve ever played any of the others. For the most part, Banana Mania looks and feels as you remember.
