There's even remixed versions of most of the original musical tracks to go along with them, offering a really great blend of bouncy techno, electronica, and even a great ska main theme to go along with your monkey rolling adventures. The remixes of the worlds are also stylish and flashy with some solid polish on their classic design. Moving feels great in Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania with all sorts of momentum and balance to take into consideration as you traverse obstacles. One stick tilts the level so you can roll your monkey with increasing momentum and the other controls the camera. The game controls with incredible simplicity. In case you don’t know the classic formula, every Super Monkey Ball level is a platform with a spawn point where you begin, an end point to reach, and bananas to grab for points (except in Dark Banana Mode). Every level and stage offers cool and interesting challenges sure to put faithful Monkey Ball players to the test and even offer new and exciting approaches to the classic formula. ![]() For example, there’s a Reverse Stage Mode, Golden Banana Mode in which you must collect all bananas to clear the level, Dark Banana Mode in which you must clear a stage without touching bad bananas, and so much more. This game contains recreations of all 300 stages from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, plus compilations of the original Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2 levels, and while some stages were crafted to make them easier (thank goodness) the truly hardcore can play their original forms in a special “Original Stage Mode.” Not to mention, this game is packed to the brim with other types of specialized modes. There is a lot in Super Monkey Ball Mania in terms of content. Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a buffet of some of the best parts of the series, even if some of it is tough to chew and not every serving is a winner.
