Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz



Nintendo Wii - Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz




Story

Dr. Bad-Boon returns from Super Monkey Ball 2. This time around, he has stolen the Golden Banana and it's up to AiAi and his friends to recover the pieces of it.



 

Gameplay Features

The spans a total of 100 main game levels, 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.

The Wii controller is held parallel to the ground. The monkey character rolls based on the slope of the game world, directly corresponding with the relative tilt of the Wii controller. The analog stick on the nunchuck attachment can control the camera but does not have to be connected to the Wii remote to play the game.

For the first time in a Super Monkey Ball game, players are able to jump by quickly flicking controller up or by pressing the A button.

Unlike previous games in the Super Monkey Ball series, this game will feature boss battles, a feature never implemented in preceding games in the Super Monkey Ball series.

This is, also, the first game in the Super Monkey Ball series to feature character-specific abilities and stats in the single player mode (although character specific stats have been featured previously in the Monkey Bowling minigame).

 

Characters
In addition to returning characters, Aiai, Meemee, Gongon, and Baby, two new characters can be found in Banana Blitz: YanYan and Doctor:


YanYan
A new girl has come to town, sporting the name "YanYan." She appears to have a huge crush on Aiai, and she shows it well with her flirtatious behavior, leading MeeMee to become slightly concerned.

Doctor
A mysterious, elderly, lemur monkey has drifted into town with a case of amnesia - he can't even remember his name! However, this amnesia-suffering monkey also has made some great inventions, which is why the townsfolk have given him the name "Doctor."

Character Attributes
As confirmed on the official Japanese site, each character has different stats and abilities. Categories are divided by Size of Ball, Jump, Speed, Weight, and, Acceleration:

Aiai is an average character. He has average stats for each category.

Meemee has less speed and weight, but she has good jump ability to make up for it.

Gongon may have the biggest ball, resulting in the worst jump ability, like Doctor, and bad acceleration, but, to make up for it, he is the fastest character in the game and he has the heaviest weight. Because he has the biggest ball, he may hit the boundaries of a goal where other monkeys would fit snugly.

Baby has the smallest ball, giving him good jump ability and acceleration, but he is quite slow and has the lightest weight. He fits safer into goals than the other monkeys, because of his small size. In this game, he gets a new costume and matching sunglasses, specifically designed for the game.

YanYan may have the best jump ability in the game, but all of the rest of her stats are somewhat below average.

Doctor has the best acceleration in the game, and all of his remaining stats are average, but he ties Gongon for the worst jump ability.
