Another day, another butchered remaster. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is vastly inferior to the originals in every conceivable way. SEGA has done nothing of value with this franchise after the GameCube entrees and is actively spitting on the faces of fans with this release.
The new cutscenes are awful. The new physics system is terrible. The sound design and the soundtrack itself have been butchered. The story mode doesn't include the levels from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. Similar to Klonoa Phantasy Reverie, the character models and environments all look "plasticy" and overly bright. The good/original version of the soundtrack and models are paid DLC. It's disgusting.
These games deserve so much better. So do Klonoa, Shadow of The Colossus, Demon Souls, Metal Gear Solid, Sonic 2-3, and so many others. Leave classic games alone if you're not going to make an effort.
