If I didn't know the stages I wouldn't even realize there was a difference.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a platform party game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. It is an enhanced remaster of the first three console entries in the Super Monkey Ball series, released in celebration of the series' 20th anniversary. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows in October 2021.
As in previous Super Monkey Ball games, the objective of the primary game mode is to navigate a monkey in a ball across a series of suspended platforms to reach a goal and clear the stage. To do this, the player must tilt the stage to direct the ball's movement, utilizing the game's physics to clear obstacles and avoid falling off the edge. Banana Mania features recreations of all 300 stages from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (2005), a compilation release of Super Monkey Ball (2001) and Super Monkey Ball 2 (2002). Certain stages have been rebalanced, decreasing their overall difficulty; the original versions of these stages can still be played in a new "Original Stage Mode". The Story mode from 2 also returns, now utilizing comic-book-style story sequences in place of the animated cutscenes from the original releases, along with all 12 multiplayer party games from DX.
A handful of new modes have been added to Banana Mania, each of which presents a selection of 10 stages from the main game that must be completed in alternate ways. These include "Golden Banana Mode", in which players must collect all the bananas in a stage; "Reverse Mode", in which a stage's starting and goal points swapped; and "Dark Banana Mode", in which players must complete a stage without touching any rotten bananas. Other new features added to Banana Mania include a time attack mode, online leaderboards, and a photo mode. Several new optional accessibility features have been added as well, including the jumping mechanic from Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, a "slow-motion" button, an extended time limit and an optimal path guide. Players can earn an in-game currency known as "Points" by completing stages and collecting bananas in the main game, or completing any of the 747 missions. These points can be spent at the in-game Points Shop to purchase new characters, modes, alternate costumes, accessories for character customization, and options for the photo mode.
AiAi, MeeMee, Baby and GonGon, the four playable characters from the original releases, all return for Banana Mania, alongside YanYan and Doctor from Banana Blitz; these six characters are playable in all modes and can be customized with unlockable accessories. Additional characters can be unlocked for use in the main game through the Points Shop; these include Jam from Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll, Jet from Super Monkey Ball 3D, and several guest characters from other Sega games, including Sonic and Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog, Beat from Jet Set Radio, and Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza. Additional characters will be released as premium downloadable content, including Morgana from Atlus's Persona 5; Sanrio's Hello Kitty; and Suezo from Koei Tecmo's Monster Rancher.
