We had a ball rolling around in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble, but it's even more fun to watch someone else play.
I couldn’t tell you what the last Super Monkey Ball game I played was, but I can still talk your ear off about the series. That’s thanks to the speedrunning community that has formed around the franchise, making it into the most exciting game to watch when it’s played at a high level. After spending close to a decade watching old games turned inside and out, I’m ready to finally dig into a new entry for myself.
Related Before gong hands-on myself, I’d get the exact experience I wanted: the chance to see someone else play it. In my session, a fellow press member started things off by playing through a handful of adventure mode levels. The story-driven mode is familiar, sending players through a bunch of maze-like platforming challenges that they must carefully navigate with their ball.
In one stage’s intended route, players are supposed to snake around a long maze while navigating platforms that move in and out of the ground. I wouldn’t see that solution. Instead, I’d get to watch the other player try to spin dash onto a platform right near the starting line as it was rising and launch through the air to create a huge shortcut. Another stage sent him down a rickety wooden slide that called for some careful speed control.
16-player mayhem When I finally got to try it for myself, I’d pop into Banana Rumble’s suite of multiplayer battle modes. Each mode, which can be played with 16 players total, offers its own chaotic spin on the platforming formula. The most straightforward mode is Race, which has players going head-to-head to see who can finish a long obstacle course first. In a Mario Kart-like twist, players can also grab battle items that can mess with other players.
