Not the Monkeys that I remembered... | Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD - Party Games - Part 1
3Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is a platform game, the seventh title in the Super Monkey Ball series, following Super Monkey Ball Adventure. It was released as a launch title for the Wii system on November 19, 2006, in North America, December 7th in Australia and December 8, 2006, in Europe. An HD remake, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, was released worldwide on October 29, 2019, for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and in December 2019 for Microsoft Windows via Steam. The Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions were also released in Japan on October 31, 2019.
The HD remake under the title Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD was announced on July 16, 2019, via a Famitsu issue, along with screenshots of the game and the box cover. Shortly after, Sega officially announced the game for a worldwide release. Development began after Masao Shirosaki was pondering what to work on next after finishing development on Judgment; before that, they had a tough time getting a team together. However, after Judgment, him and a few others had some downtime and got together in January 2019. The project was greenlit in February and development lasted for around 6 months. According to Shirosaki, some of the levels would've been too easy with the stick input, as they were originally designed with the Wii remote in mind. This means that some levels had to undergo some adjustments to become more enjoyable with current controls. Tweaks were made all the way up until the end. When asked in a later interview of why Banana Blitz specifically was chosen for a remaster, Shirosaki revealed that due to the time and budget they had, it was the most reasonable choice.
The remake features revamped controls, such as the ability to use the console's respective controller, as opposed the Wii Remote in the original version. As the game was nearing 13 years old by 2019, they consulted with the designers to rework the UI to mesh with "modern visual aesthetics". The remake also features new modes, such as a Time Attack Mode with online leaderboards, and the all-new "Decathlon Mode", which is a mode where the player "challenges themselves to beat 10 mini-games in a row". Players are able to unlock new costumes for each of the returning characters, as well as Sonic the Hedgehog as a playable character, with all bananas replaced with rings.
Unlike the original, instead of the 50 mini-games, it includes enhancements of the 10 most popular mini-games. The game features a different soundtrack in most of the worlds, due to licensing issues.
