If you haven't tried out this latest entry on the Switch yet, be sure to check out our review here on Nintendo Life. We gave the game a seven star rating, calling the single-player "super" but felt the multiplayer could use with some improvements.
"If all you're looking for in a new Super Monkey Ball game is a selection of new single-player levels to tackle, then you're in luck...if you're looking forward to the multiplayer modes, then temper your expectations."
You can also get some cool Sonic the Hedgehog themed content with the game's 'Sega Pass' DLC.
