Fun game with some cool new mechanics. Plays like an updated monkey ball game from the gamecube era. Really fun with alot of mini games and gear you can wear so there's alot to grind for. Love it 10 out of 10 if i could give it 10 stars thats it.

Fun and cute game, nice to advance through the interesting and unique levels and have the multiplayer battle mode. I paid less than $20 out of pocket due to a sale and gift card, I'd say it's about worth that.

This game brings me back to the days of the GameCube for the physics felt perfect and the course design was quirky and interesting and fun. There’s tons of ways to experience the game like finding ways to speed run it or take your time and get all the golden bananas. The music in the game is also very enjoyable and I would recommend taking a listen on its own. For any returning monkey ball fans, this is a high recommend, but I also recommend this to people who might be interested in this or might want to take a dive into something new because I am keeping this gem in my collection.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble Launch Edition for Nintendo Switch delivers exactly what fans of the franchise crave: tight controls, frantic levels, and pure, unadulterated fun. From the moment you roll your first monkey down a winding path, it’s clear this game captures the spirit of what made the series a classic — with fresh twists that keep it feeling modern.
The core gameplay is simple but brilliantly executed: guide your monkey in a transparent ball through increasingly tricky courses without falling off the edge. The physics are responsive, and the Switch’s Joy-Con controls feel natural — whether you’re tilting them like a steering wheel or using traditional stick input. Precision is key, and this game rewards practice and patience without ever feeling frustrating.
What sets Banana Rumble apart is its variety. Each world introduces clever obstacles, forcing you to rethink your approach and timing. The visuals are bright and cheerful — perfect for casual play or couch competitions. Multiplayer shines with chaos-driven party modes that turn any gathering into a banana-fueled battle royale — laughter guaranteed.
While some seasoned players may find a few levels a bit too easy at first, the difficulty curve ramps up nicely, and hidden challenges offer plenty of replay value. Music and sound effects are upbeat and match the game’s playful aesthetic.
Overall, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble Launch Edition on Nintendo Switch is a delightful package. It’s approachable for newcomers, packed with content, and endlessly replayable — a must for fans of arcade-style action and lighthearted platforming.

I remember the game consisting of a little more action from my childhood. I got it just for the memories' sake, and it was well worth it. Now my nephew loves to play with me.
