Super Monkey Ball is one of those franchises that randomly has a huge fan base you rarely ever hear from. One such fan is my wife, who doesn’t seem to like any video games at all but absolutely loves Super Monkey Ball games. She played the first Super Monkey Ball game on the Gamecube obsessively and talks about it every time we have any sort of discussion about gaming. So naturally, as soon as I found out Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble was on sale, I immediately picked it up.
Truthfully, I too am a fan of these games and am very much looking forward to playing it as well. While I coudn’t get myself to pay full price for any Switch game, the price of $34.99 feels just right.

While I haven’t yet had the pleasure of playing Banana Rumble myself, I have read the IGN review of the game and it convinced me that it is absolutely worth playing. With an impressive set of 200 courses across 20 worlds, we’ve concluded that this is classic Monkey ball at it’s finest. Our own Nintendo expert Logan Plant had the chance to go hands on with the game and here’s a quick snippet of what he thought in our review:
What We Said in Our Review
“Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is a brilliant return to form. Monkey Ball has finally found its way home again with a set of 200 fantastic courses that range from delightfully charming to devilishly challenging, backed up by tight mechanics and predictable physics that put me in total control of my monkey’s fate. This isn’t just a cover album of Monkey Ball’s greatest hits, though, as the new spin dash ability is a genius evolution of the franchise’s core ideas, and smartly-implemented online play adds fresh layers of cooperation and strategy. The underwhelming and forgettable battle mode is Banana Rumble’s biggest disappointment, but the sheer amount of optional objectives and replayability found in its adventure mode make it easy to ignore. It doesn’t quite reach the heights of the amazing GameCube originals, but Banana Rumble is easily the best Super Monkey Ball game in over 20 years.” – Logan Plant
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble was release just last month on June 25 and this is the first and biggest discount we’ve seen on this game. It’s especially surprising after a rather lackluster showing of Prime Day Switch deals earlier this week. If you’ve been hoping to pick up this game at a discount, now is the time to do so.
