GAMEPLAY

The game spans a total of 100 main game levels and 50 mini-games that each use the controller in a different way (e.g. “Monkey Darts” has players simulate the action of throwing a dart using the Wii Remote) as well as the appearance of all major characters featured in past games. Unlike previous games in the Super Monkey Ball series, this game features eight boss battles, a feature new to the franchise. The Wii controller is held parallel to the ground, with the monkey character rolling based on the slope of the game world, directly corresponding with the relative tilt of the Wii controller. For the first time in a Super Monkey Ball game, players can jump by quickly flicking the controller up while holding B, or by simply pressing the A button. The game also features character-specific abilities and stats for the puzzle stages, previously unseen in any other game in the series.

MINI GAMES & PLOT

There are 50 mini-games in total in Banana Blitz. There is also a “party” mode whereby players can choose tournament-type gameplay, selecting mini-games in an attempt to accumulate the most points. Recurring mini-games from previous titles include Monkey Target, Monkey Race, Monkey Bowling and Monkey Wars. Banana Blitz introduces a new pirate-like villain named Captain Crabuchin, previously confused to be Dr. Bad-Boon. He has stolen the Golden Banana Bunch and AiAi and his friends are on an adventure to recover the scattered pieces of it.
