Go bananas once more with an insane update coming to Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble

Sega have announced that on November 26 a big update for Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is coming, that will not only bring the game to a 2.0 release, but also bring in two very big stars, Godzilla and Hatsune Miku.

Smash through the competition as Godzilla, the mighty King of the Monsters, or party as the cheerful virtual singer Hatsune Miku, ready to share her love for music with the world. Players can wreak destruction on fellow players as Godzilla, with banana pickups replaced by trains, or groove through various stages as MIKU, collecting musical notes in lieu of bananas. Both characters can be bought on November 26, when the new update goes live.

Speaking of the update there is a lot contained with in it, including the new Super Punchy Brawl. In this new game mode players can send their opponents flying by knocking them off the map with a big boxing glove! Players can use panels scattered around the stage to buff their boxing gloves up to two times to make punches even stronger, increasing the amount of damage caused. They can also store damage from an opponent's punch up to two times – the more damage stored, the easier it is to knock opponents away. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins! Furthermore, a new stage has been added to the existing Banana Hunt game.

But that is not all, as also included in the 2.0 update are updates to Adventure Mode, all designed to enhance players’ journey in finding the Legendary Banana in the 2.00 update, including a fun set of new rules, including:

  • Time Attack will now include a new Banana Bonus option where the players can collect bananas to reduce their overall time.

  • The No Miss Challenge tests players to see how far they can survive in Adventure Mode with only one life.

  • Super Speed makes players’ balls roll even faster. Don’t fall off the Stage!

  • Step into the world of your character with Monkey See, where players can see the world from inside their ball!

  • The bravest monkeys can show their skills with even more difficult courses in Ultimate EX stages.

  • A quick retry feature has also been added that allows players to immediately restart a stage without pausing the game. Plus, when you’re playing Adventure Mode with friends, you won’t have to disband your room anymore when going between Worlds.

  • The latest update will also include plenty of other content, including a character selection randomization feature; a bulk purchase function in the in-game Shop; the option to carry over save data from the demo; color options for players’ names, and more.

If you thought that was it, then guess again as there is still more. For the Virtual YouTuber fans out there, a “NIJISANJI UKIUKI CUP Outfit Set” – which includes a NIJISANJI UKIUKI Cup logo t-shirt, monkey ball with the NIJISANJI UKIUKI Cup logo emblazoned on it, and costume inspired by Saegusa Akina from NIJISANJI.

These outfits, new characters and the insane amount of updates all arrive on November 26.
