Sonic and Tails Are Playable Characters in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania

SEGA is allowing Sonic and Tails are rolling directly into Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. The duo is actually a celebration of Super Monkey Ball’s 20th and Sonic The Hedgehog’s 30th anniversaries. Classic Sonic and Tails will be speeding through over 300 stages, with 12 accessible party games, and new, crossover characters.

Sonic (expectedly, everyone’s favorite hedgehog) and Miles “Tails” Prower (a two-tailed fox) will be playable characters. Also, if that was not fulfilling enough, SEGA announced that Beat from Jet Set Radio will be in the game as a free, crossover character, during normal gameplay. How the 17-year-old Beat will look in the game is anyone’s guess. 

The game’s paid DLC is reserved for a special pack, allowing you to play as Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, and Game Gear consoles. Banana Mania is really remasters of the console games in the first three Super Monkey Ball series. The game will be released on October 5, 2021, on the following platforms: PS4 (PlayStation 4), PS5 (PlayStation 5), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. 

Sonic and Tails: 

You will be able to unlock Sonic and Tails in an in-game points shop (buying them with points you earn by playing the game). Masao Shirosaki (Banana Mania Director) told GamesBeat, “The point total for each character is pretty modest so most players should be able to unlock them without too much challenge.” Shirosaki added, “Who knows what the future holds! We do have a few more new characters coming that we’ll share with fans in the weeks ahead.” The classic version of Sonic and Tails will be used, instead of their modern look.
