SEGA announced that Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble update 2.0 is now available alongside the free NIJISANJI UKIUKI CUP Outfit Set DLC. The DLC includes a NIJISANJI UKIUKI CUP logo t-shirt, a monkey ball with the logo, and a costume inspired by Saegusa Akina from NIJISANJI.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble update 2.0 brings a new multiplayer Battle Mode called Super Punchy Brawl. In this new mode, players knock opponents off the map with a big boxing glove. Rolling over panels will make your boxing gloves stronger with up to two stacks. The player with the most points wins.
The update also adds a new stage to Banana Hunt, along with several gameplay adjustments and new Adventure Mode content. Time Attack now includes a new Banana Bonus option, the No Miss Challenge lets players attempt a one-life run in Adventure Mode, and Super Speed makes the monkey balls roll even faster.
Moreover, the new Monkey See feature will be available, allowing players to enjoy gameplay from inside the ball. Those wanting to test their skills may also take on new Ultimate EX stages in Adventure Mode, and a quick retry feature has been added.
While playing with friends in Adventure Mode, you will no longer need to disband the room while going between worlds. There’s also a character selection randomization feature, a bulk purchase feature, color options for player names, the ability to carry over save data from the demo, and much more.
Godzilla and Hatsune Miku also arrive as paid DLC characters in Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. While playing as Godzilla, banana pickups are replaced by trains, and playing as Hatsune Miku replaces banana pickups with musical notes.
Lastly, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is available now for Nintendo Switch in the Nintendo eShop.
