Challenge Modes based on each Monkey Ball game feature some of the series’ most demanding stages. Story Mode is just scratching the surface of what Banana Mania has to offer. Thankfully, the game does feature an assist mode that gives novice players the option to slow the game down. Banana Mania also includes some of the series’ most frustrating stages, which can border on unfairness. The early stages of Story Mode ease the player into this concept, and the addictive gameplay loop will grip players within the first world. Super Monkey Ball is a deceivingly simple game. Think of it like a wooden tilt board game come to life. To win, you simply tilt the level so the player character rolls into a goal and not off the stage within a time limit. Story Mode features a gradual difficulty curve, slowly getting the player used to the physics and controls before throwing some truly wild stage gimmicks (like platforms that fold and unfold like inchworms) at them. From there, try the Story Mode that bundles together dozens of stages from the series’ history while retelling the story of Super Monkey Ball 2.

For the stage-titling gameplay the series is known for, head right to “Main Game” on the main menu. Going Bananasīanana Mania contains over 300 stages from the first three console games in the franchise.

For those looking for a game with short but addictive levels or a new party game to try with friends, Banana Mania is an amazing option, particularly on Switch. Part racing game, part puzzle game, part party game, and part platformer, the Super Monkey Ball series is unlike any other.īanana Mania reminds us of what the series was like in its prime, good and bad, and hopefully signals the start of a new era for the franchise.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a pleasing remaster of Super Monkey Ball 1, 2, and Deluxe, the series’s best titles. While the franchise started with two great games, it never hit the popularity of Sonic the Hedgehog or Yakuza because of a wave of gimmicky spin-offs and sequels.

#SUPER MONKEY BALL BANANA MANIA DELUXE TRIAL#

The best strategy I came up with was to take the 'hard' route and move my analogue stick so it was halfway between hitting the rim on my controller keeping it straight as humanly possible then once I hit the perfect spot through trial and error was able to quickly move across to the finish line.The Super Monkey Ball series is the most underrated Sega franchise of all time. The problem is no matter which way you choose because you control the monkey with an analogue stick its very easy to move slightly to the left or right when trying to stay straight leading to a fallout. The 'Hard' or rather shortcut way is to walk across an extremely thin platform straight to the goal. The 'easy' way has you walking across 3 increasingly smaller walkways which your monkey will have to balance on. Level 19 CATWALK: In this level you take one of 2 paths around a square which consists of very small, almost tightrope walkways. There are 46 levels most of which should be a cakewalk however there are 3 nasty levels in particular. To unlock the DX Course you will need to buy it from the points shop for 10000 points which you earn from collecting banana's in the main game. Just completed this as I'm writing this guide:
