My favorite game of the year. The physics are different, but it doesn't negatively impact the game unless you are bound by nostalgia. (there is also a mod to bring back the old physics)
It isn’t perfect but it’s the series going back to its roots with a quality remake.
Solo me lo pasé por que sale kiryu??

lotta little party games as well as the main game, good for sofa multiplayer with friends
The fact that sega released this game without main game multiplayer still baffles me and immediately elevates the original games over this for me.
It's cool getting the play the levels I could never unlock in the originals and the game looks nice, but the multiplayer is one of the main reasons I bought this game.

great art style, fun gameplay with lots of potential for breaking the game in fun ways, and a huge cast of characters are all great aspects of the game. some of the new songs arent as good as the old songs, and the cutscenes have lost a lot of their charm. but the core gameplay remains as fun as ever, with more accessible options for less skilled players. its a game anyone can play but few can master
sorry everyone but I just don't find monkey ball gameplay really all that fun...
These damn controls are completely ruined. I got this for Monkey Flight and it is seriously unplayable. It's not a learning curve. I perfected it on the GameCube and as you play more and more you'd see progress. This version you see no improvements while practicing. You can try and change the controls in the options but it's still not that great.
...i mean i haven't played the original SMB deluxe so i thought banana mania was fun but wow these reviews are out for blood 🫣
the story mode is pretty forgettable but the challenges and minigames are where this shines. i do agree that the controls have a bit less oomph to them compared to the few monkey ball games i've previously played, but i thought it was playable all things considered.

A remake of the original 2 Super Monkey ball games was a great idea, but the execution and tweaks made mean you're better off with the originals.
The main issue I have is that there were changes made to mini-games that make them far worse than their original versions. Monkey Target, by far the best mini-game from the originals, is basically unplayable due to the physics changes. Others such as baseball have inexplicable changes that you can get used to but are frustrating...why is the friction on the ground so high? And your swing is much slower?
The physics in general for the main game are also different and feel less precise, but to me that is less of an issue than what was done to the mini-games. Some like racing and fight are still fun but the package as a whole is disappointing compared to the originals. If you don't have the originals, this game is still worth picking up used as it's fairly inexpensive (you can probably get it for under $20 if you look)

As addictive and fun as ever. There's some frustration, but you just have to know when to push through and when to quit. Beat the story, did the SMB1 challenge modes up to Expert, and 2's up to Normal. I did my Launchers time in the story. I'm free.
crap remaster of two peak games that fucks up the physics and feels sauceless asf
super monkey ball
“Step in the right direction” yeah but it’s the best game in the series
why is the og music paid dlc
i'm not going to be a stickler about the monkey target physics but it's weird that it's so different lol, rip

Solid remaster. The physics and controls are not as good as the original gamecube and play station controls / mechanics but that was expected as an entirely different engine was used to make this game. It was nice to get to see and play some of my favorite levels exclusive to monkey ball deluxe (to which I haven’t been able to play in 7-8 years as I didn’t have a ps2 but now that I do I am going to get a copy of deluxe definitely).
This game fucked up my Gym Schedule when it dropped
better roster than any smash game
The best monkey ball game
Fucking atrocious as a remake, completely destroys the gameplay loop by attempting to cater to casuals who will play the game once and never again (Not that casuals shouldn't be allowed to play the game! But there was a FAR better way to handle this than what they did.) Super Monkey Ball is an arcade style consistency game, not a course clear game! Why does Sega not understand this? The courses are far too simple to be one and dones, they don't hold as much merit on their own terms as opposed to part of a whole. here is literally no reason to play this over the originals unless you only have access to this game.
If you do only have access to this game, and you never played the originals, then I guess it's fine on its own terms? It's hard to see it as anything other than a spoiled version of two of the greatest games of all time though. It controls worse, it's lacking maingame multiplayer, it's far less replayable and the original content is pretty negligible. If you have interest in this as a game and not just a monkey meme please consider playing the originals first/instead!

pllaying monky ball... i love tha every time i get to the goal... they send hello kitty to heaven...
so basically, im monky
Another day, another butchered remaster. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is vastly inferior to the originals in every conceivable way. SEGA has done nothing of value with this franchise after the GameCube entrees and is actively spitting on the faces of fans with this release.
The new cutscenes are awful. The new physics system is terrible. The sound design and the soundtrack itself have been butchered. The story mode doesn't include the levels from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. Similar to Klonoa Phantasy Reverie, the character models and environments all look "plasticy" and overly bright. The good/original version of the soundtrack and models are paid DLC. It's disgusting.
These games deserve so much better. So do Klonoa, Shadow of The Colossus, Demon Souls, Metal Gear Solid, Sonic 2-3, and so many others. Leave classic games alone if you're not going to make an effort.

This is the ultimate Monkey ball package, the only things missing are levels from like Step and roll, 3D and Banana Splits.
MONKE UUUUUUUUUU
the sound design is like hitting a rock with a dry pool noodle
the jump makes this game SO MUCH FUN
An incredible recreation of Super Monkey Ball Deluxe! From the bright and colorful visuals, to the added modes and customization options, this may be the best way to play these classic games. The only thing that may give some people trouble is that the game's physics are altered slightly from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, which may cause problems when doing some tricks.
Not good, but not bad either. Controls are ok, but not quite the same as SMB2. Enough of a difference to make me visibly worse at the game with the new engine. It's just not the same man. 😭
Super monkey ball normal. No añaden nada nuevo ni especialmente interesante. Los menús son fantásticos
