They’re 1-4 multiplayer so you can play with friends & family, and some of the Party Games have network rankings so you can compete for the world’s best score. Not just a remake of the main gameĪpart from the main game, we also made sure to remake all 12 of the Party Games from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. Of course those features are entirely optional, and for those who want to play the original difficulty, there’s a mode that lets you do that too…so no worries. With a little help, even I was able to beat the game! *laugh* Other than a few slight stage adjustments we also added new support features like the “Helper Function” that make the game more accessible. The stage is still quite challenging but it’s now at least a bit easier to avoid the arthropod’s legs! I can’t remember how many times I had a fall out on this stage because I got stuck on the gap and then got kicked by the arthropod… There were originally gaps in the stage that made it extremely difficult. This stage involves navigating a large arthropod turning in circles (naturally).

I’m sure now you can at least somewhat enjoy the beautiful view while you play!Īnother classic stage is “ARTHROPOD” from Super Monkey Ball 2. We made some slight tweaks to the stage, extending the completion time and widening the curved path in the second half of the stage so you can play a bit more relaxed. There were elevations and incredibly narrow, curved paths that required your entire focus at all times. This stage has a beautiful nighttime landscape but the stage was so difficult you had no time to enjoy the view. I’m sure there are some of you who know what I’m talking about…įor instance, “EXAM-C” from the original Super Monkey Ball. However, there were some stages in the original that were so hard it made you want to stare blankly at the sky. In terms of the stage difficulty, we made sure to keep it as close to the original as possible to honor the memories fans have of the original games. Stage adjustments won’t ruin your memories We shortened the time between “Fall out” and “Retry” as much as possible so you can get right back to playing without loading time. Plus: adding more bananas so it feels even better to roll through the stages.Īnother important focus was play tempo. We also fully remade the UI to give the new game a modern look.

Starting with the original stage data from a game that is now 20 years old (happy anniversary AiAi!), our first step was making the monkey gang’s world more colorful and vibrant, upping the texture resolution and remaking the environments and decorations in detail.

This project started as a direct answer to those fan voices. What led to the creation of this title? When we released the last Super Monkey Ball game, we received a ton of requests from fans around the world wishing for a remake of the original Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2.
