About the Game

Your mission: to recover the golden bananas stolen by an evil pirate monkey. Pitch and roll your wiimote to manipulate the level to roll your ball encapsulated monkey through ten worlds (eight hidden and two secret) on a quest to regain all of the golden bananas.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Collect bananas to gain extra points and lives then roll yourself to the exit point to finish levels. Also, new is that each of the six monkeys now has different characteristics in the single player mode.

Returning games from previous monkey ball titles include: Monkey Golf, Monkey Bowling, Monkey Race, Monkey Target, and Home Run Derby.
