The latest Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble trailer is all about the single player adventure mode and shows off the game’s 4-player co-op. The NintendoSwitch exclusive game is coming out on 25th June 2024.
There’s a hefty 200 new stages set across various worlds, the first five of which are Banana Farm, Rose Garden, Floating City, Golden Temple and Stone Valley. AiAi and the gang will have to journey through them, tilting the world and rolling around on a quest for the Legendary banana.
Helping newcomers will be various optional assists that include checkpoints, rewinding to a previous spot, ghost guide which adds a transparent racer alongside you to demo particular methods, and a route guide that will tell you which way to go. On a more fundamental level, there’s also a new Spin Dash move that players can use to hit shortcuts, but has a cooldown timer.
There’s also the potentially dubious help of playing in co-op with support for up to four players. That’s in addition to the local multiplayer for up to 4 players and online multiplayer for up to 16.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is the first mainline game in the series for over a decade – Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz on PS Vita was the last wholly new game – though the last few years has seen Sega dust off the classics for some remasters. There was Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD in 2019, which revived the 2006 Wii game, and that was followed up by Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania (by Ryu Ga Gotoko Studio, no less!), which remade all the classic stages from the GameCube originals.
That same team at Ryu Ga Gotoko Studio has carried forward to this brand new game, and here’s hoping they can prove that these plucky bunch of monkeys in balls can still do the business. We need quirky games like this!
