Today sees the launch of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania on Nintendo Switch, and the game's been treated to one heck of a launch trailer.
You can check it out for yourself above; there's monkeys, bananas, monkeys collecting bananas, Sonic and Tails, snippets of gameplay, and some really lovely animation throughout.
Experience the charm and playfulness of classic Super Monkey Ball remade for a new generation! Over 300 lovingly recreated levels and mazes, 12 absolutely bananas Party Games, and a delightful cast of characters including special guests Sonic & Tails, Beat from Jet Set Radio, and Kiryu from Yakuza make their return to the wondrous worlds of Super Monkey Ball in this faithful remaster of the original three SMB games.
If you haven't already, make sure to read our full review of the game if you're thinking of buying a copy. We felt that Banana Mania is the best the series has been in almost two decades, although some frustrations with the game's physics may leave series veterans a little disappointed.

Cutscenes like this in game would've been top banana.
I wouldn't be opposed to future Monkey Ball games looking like that animation.
I really liked that, like way more then I think I should.
This looks like it was animated by Tyson Hesse with music by Hyper Potions, just like the animated intro for Sonic Mania!
Ain't that lovely?
All Sega Games should have animations to coincide with their releases, these are great!
If SEGA is doing one thing right with its modern releases, it's these promotional animations. They're so full of life and character.
I was looking forward to this but decided to get the original GameCube game instead.
HAPPY MONKEYBALL DAY EVERYONE! Yay yeah! Eeee!
Not a Day 1 purchase for me, BUT I have been looking forward to this day for a while now. This + Nick All Star Brawl and a lot of other games are on my list.
looked pretty cool!
This anime design along with the puppet “Cooking with AiAi” promos on YouTube… the marketing team behind this Super Monkey Ball addition is really doing some fun and creative things. Would love to see more companies be imaginative, cleave, have fun & experiment with their IP’s like this and include it in the games too!
Such a good trailer. I've watched it like 4 times already, it just makes me happy XD.
@AlexOlney the best animated trailers for the game with the most lazily animated cutscenes... Luckily the game itself is great.
Having a blast so far
My plan is to get Super monkey ball tomorrow. The wife will be in Spain so she cant say no 😊💪💪💪
