Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll, known as Super Monkey Ball Athletic (スーパーモンキーボール アスレチック) in Japan, is an action puzzle game developed and published by Sega for the Wii. It may be considered a sequel to the Nintendo DS game Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll, and is also the second Monkey Ball game for the Wii.

The game is much the same as other Monkey Ball games, except it is controlled with either the Wii Remote or Wii Balance Board.

History

Release

In the US, Sega partnered up with Chiquita Bananas for an event celebrating the game's release. For a while, bananas sold by Chiquita had Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll-sponsored labels on them.
