 Let the rumble begin!

SEGA revealed new details for Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble’s Adventure Mode experience. Featuring both online and local 4-player cooperative play, along with a host of assist features, it’s easier than ever to join in on the fun with friends and family! 

While visiting a tropical island, AiAi and the gang meet a girl named Palette, an adventurer searching for the Legendary Banana. They agree to join her on her journey across wondrous worlds to collect special parts said to be the key to locating this prized relic. Along the way, they'll meet new friends and encounter mysterious rivals.

For those unfamiliar with Super Monkey Ball, or simply looking for ways to improve their technique, take advantage of the optional assist features available in Banana Rumble! These include:

• The ability to Rewind to a previous point of a stage and attempt a tricky area once more. 
• A Ghost Guide option, which will add a transparent racer alongside the player, demonstrating the key methods needed to reach the goal.
• A Route Guide that will point you in the direction if you’re not sure where to go.
• The choice to restart at a Checkpoint within certain stages, and more! 

Game World Introduction

Adventure Mode features 200 new stages that are set across different worlds, each with their own unique twists and turns that can be experienced either solo, or with others in 4-player co-op! All of this is accompanied by a thrilling story told through fully developed cutscenes.

To give just a taste of what fans can expect, SEGA is introducing a stage from each of the mode’s first five Worlds respectively.

• World 1 – Banana Farm: \World 1 is naturally designed to progressively teach players all the tools and tricks to set them up for the rest of their adventure! A great example is the stage “Rail Slider,” where steps and ramps taller than the player’s ball are placed throughout the stage. Use the new technique, Spin Dash, to make it through the steps!
• World 2 – Rose Garden: In “Wonder Maze,” the stage is designed like a large garden maze. Players will need to look for the correct route to make it to the goal.
• World 3 – Floating City: The “Switch and Go” stage has switches that move the different scaffoldings. Here, players will need to use switches at the best timing to reach the goal.
• World 4 – Golden Temple: The “Rolling Balls” stage has giant balls that block the player’s way. Players must maneuver these giant objects to make their way to the end.
• World 5 – Stone Valley: The “Rocket Launcher” stage has a goal that is located high in the sky. Use the rocket to get launched up in the air and aim for the goal!
