By completing the individual difficulties, the number of continues can be raised up to 6 to 9, and finally an unlimited amount, in a similar manner to the original Super Monkey Ball with Play Points.Īll stages have a 60-second (1 minute) timer, unlike other games in the series where the timer varies between stages. Players are given three continues and three lives for the start.
However, unlike the first 3 Super Monkey Ball games ( Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe) there are no Extra stages in the game, even if each individual difficulty is completed without using any continues or losing any lives. Master is unlocked by merely completing Advanced. The original difficulties 'Advanced' and 'Expert' have been renamed 'Normal' and 'Advanced', but the intended challenge remains the same. Instead, its core game mirrors Super Monkey Ball 2s Challenge Mode, with three central difficulty settings, and a fourth unlockable one. In Banana Splitz', there is no story mode.

Players can also practice individual levels upon reaching them in Challenge Mode, watch up to 16 saved replays of levels, or use the PlayStation Vita camera to automatically generate and save playable custom stages in Edit Mode. Unusual for a Monkey Ball game, the player can control the camera with the Vita's right analog stick (but only when the ball is stationary or moving very slowly). There are four initial player characters to choose from, with four additional 'toy' versions of the characters being unlocked after playing for long enough. The central mode of Banana Splitz - Monkey Ball - has the player navigate their monkey through 100 precarious levels using either the Vita's analog stick or motion sensor to control the tilt of the stage. The game also features High Score leaderboards. The toy theme of the game is apparent with its unlockable characters, and several of the world themes.īanana Splitz features two game modes: Monkey Ball and Party Mode.
