Some people eat, sleep and breathe sports. I’m not one of those people, but even I can appreciate the Olympics and what they represent – the coming together of cultures, the excitement of seeing the best athletes in the world compete against each other, and of course, all of the associated spectacle. I decidedly do not enjoy, however, the decidedly average minigame collections that typically get churned out every few years to tie in with the event. That is why I’m thrilled to report that not only is Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Videogame an excellent Olympics game, but it is also one of the best pick-up-and-play sports games I’ve experienced in a long time.

SEGA is revisiting the classic roots of the Super Monkey Ball with Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. The Switch release is remastering content from Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe.

In the initial trailer for Banana Mania, fans noticed that a new jump ability was shown off – something that wasn’t included in the original titles. That caused some concern for longtime players. Fortunately, it’s not something that you’ll be forced to used.

Very little is known about the next mainline Sonic the Hedgehog game, which was teased during a Sonic Central broadcast in May. It showed the Blue Blur running in a forest – and that’s pretty much it. We don’t even have a confirmed title at present.

When asked about the new project in an interview with Game Informer, Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka said:

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania will apparently feature Sonic and Tails

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania will apparently feature a pair of guest stars from another Sonic franchise. New character art has been discovered within the game’s official website, revealing that Sonic and Tails (from Sonic the Hedgehog, of course!) will be included.

Sonic did previously appear in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, so this news doesn’t come as a major surprise. However, we should note that SEGA hasn’t made an official announcement – the news was likely uncovered early.

Look for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania when it hits Switch on October 5.
