Sonic and Tails Join the Super Monkey Ball Gang for a Special Birthday Bash

Hi everyone,

We’re very excited to reveal today that Sonic and Tails will roll into Extremely Monkey Ball Banana Mania as playable characters when the game launches for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on October 5!

This special Sega collaboration marks the respective 20 ^th plus 30 ^th anniversaries of Very Monkey Ball in addition to Sonic The Hedgehog (both actually share the same June 23 birthday! ). The Blue Blur and even his two-tailed sidekick speed into the world of Super Monkey Ball in time to join AiAi and the monkey gang for their latest adventure, with both characters free and unlockable through normal gameplay right at launch.

Sonic fans will enjoy playing as classic versions of their favorite characters, which celebrate their historic legacy over the years. Little touches like replacing AiAi’s favorite bananas with Sonic’s rings, or Sonic’s Spin Attack when he builds up pace add to the authenticity. Both can be unlocked for free from the Excellent Monkey Ball Banana Mania point shop by accruing points from gameplay (time required will vary but most players will be able to do it within 30 minutes of play).

Sonic together with Tails join an all-star cast in Super Goof Ball Banana Mania that includes Beat from Jet Set Radio and additional yet-to-be-revealed guest stars. Every special guest will be fully playable through all 300+ stages in Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania when the game launches with regard to Xbox One and Xbox Collection X|S on Octoboer 5. Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania will also support Smart Delivery ensuring followers will only have to buy the game once to play it on their favorite Xbox console.
