SEGA :

IRVINE, Calif. – September 20, 2024 – Two of the coolest icons around along with a fresh set of costumes are now available in Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble as part of the SEGA Pass DLC!


The crazy taxi driver Axel and renegade graffiti artist Beat will be playable across Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble’s Adventure Mode and Battle Mode, each with unique stats to help them through the stages. For Beat, all in-game bananas will switch to spray cans for Beat in homage to the franchise, and for Axel, bananas will become coins so you can make some crazy money.
 

In addition, 15 different customization items are also now available to dress your monkey to the nines, featuring costumes for Shadow the Hedgehog, NiGHTS, Gilius Thunderhead, and Majima. Please note character customization items aren’t available for SEGA Pass characters.
 

The SEGA Pass, individual character packs, and costume set are all also available as separate purchases, so players who upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition will save on the entire bundle!
 

A new multiplayer mode, Gem Heist, has also launched for the game as part of the v1.20 update at no additional cost, creating a glittering battle frenzy for the highest points to win. Here, players must carry their gems to their team’s area, while bumping into members of the other team to make them drop their gem. Various gems, including the Star Diamond, are different weights and are worth different points, so make sure to gather them all!
 

Please note an internet connection is required to download and install the update. Stay tuned for more exciting updates to arrive for the game in the coming months!
 

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is now available for Nintendo Switch family of systems. For more information on the game, please visit the official website at www.BananaRumble.com, and stay tuned to the official social accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
