Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble demo now available

Back in June, Switch players got things rolling with some serious monkey business in Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. The latest game in the series lets us join AiAi and friends in their first new Super Monkey Ball experience in more than 10 years as they journey to discover the Legendary Banana, making new friends and foes along the way. If you still haven’t jumped in, a demo has gone live on the Switch eShop today and it lets you play solo in worlds 1 through 3.

Become a party animal with friends and family joining in on the action in Battle Mode, with up to 2 local players or a whopping 16 online players battling it out. There’s also the all-new Adventure Mode, where you will journey through 200 newly crafted stages either solo or in 4-player co-op! Customize your character by picking from a barrel-full of apparel, including clothes, footwear, accessories – even the monkey ball itself so you can look your best while leaving the rest in the dust.

As part of the SEGA Pass, six new additional playable characters will be added to the game over the coming months: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Beat, and Axel. Also included are 15 different customization items featuring costumes for Shadow the Hedgehog, NiGHTS, Gilius Thunderhead, and Majima. The SEGA Pass and individual character packs will also be available separately for $24.99 and $4.99 each, respectively, so players who upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition will save on the bundle!
