“I don't think they'll ever make as good of a game as they did with Super Monkey Ball 2 for the Gamecube. Despite that, I still want to support SMB, especially the more challenging and fun games such as this. Playing…”
“Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is an absolute insane game that is beyond enjoyable. It’s super fun and entertaining, but it can be a bit agitating at times, especially with the constant “fallout” voice line. However, I…”

“Nostalgia done brilliantly! The re-mixed soundtrack bangs and the aesthetics are juicy. Runs great on the deck and is perfect for short bursts of gameplay.”

“I'm honestly pretty disappointed. It was nice to recognize and play a bunch of stages that I played from the original Gamecube version, but this one lost a lot of charm that the originals had. It's basically a generic,…”
“I gave it a chance. When I read the bad reviews from speedrunners and how bad the physics were, surely they had to be exaggerating. That's what die hard fans usually do. WRONG. The speedrunners were right. The physics…”

“This is one of the better Monkey balls, yet despite being ported in 2021, it only permits local split screen multiplayer. Not worth buying if you intend to play this with friends.”
“I love monkeyball but the screen is choppy as s***. It could easily be fixed by not locking the camera to 50hz refresh rate. Also, no online coop in the year of our lord 2026? Come on. Fun game but sega just lazy and…”
“This is the best super monkey ball single player experience since Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 on the GameCube. Unfortunately they ruined the party games and you can no longer play the story or challenge modes with local…”

“makes my cortisol spike but it's a good game i liek the baby monkey it looks like me”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“I came for the wonderfully janky "Monkey Physics" of my youth, and I found instead - a remade game in Unity with the same levels, but the physics play a little different. They're better, albeit still quirky, but it's different and that's jarring at first. But if you can get past…”
— a player, Steam review · 36 hrs played“Banana mania is a okay version, it is the only way to have a official port of Super monkey ball, the controls feels off if you are a fan of the old monkey ball game, you can feel it and the speedrun is not the same from the original but you can still speedrun with a different…”
