Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, called Super Monkey Ball Ukiuki Party Daishuugou (スーパーモンキーボール ウキウキパーティー大集合) in Japan, is a party game developed and published by Sega for the Wii. It was released as a launch title for the Wii in Japan, North America, Europe and Australia.

Gameplay

This Monkey Ball game had many changes from the previous Nintendo GameCube titles. This is the first game where the new art style took effect, changing some of the character designs and the overall look of the game to make it more cartoony. This game scraps the traditional difficulty system in favor of a new system, in which there are 8 worlds with 10 levels and a boss in each one. Two new characters were introduced in addition to the four main characters, and each character has different strengths and weaknesses (for example, GonGon is the slowest, but he can break through bumpers, Mimi is the fastest yet the hardest to control, and Aiai is the all around character of sorts).

The game also adds a jump button and the use of motion controls via the Wii remote. There are also over 50 playable mini games.

Many of the words in this game would later be seen again in the iOS games Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2.
