The 20th anniversary celebration continues! Banana Splitz was a Monkey Ball game for the PlayStation Vita. It is actually considered one of the best entries in the series, going back to its old roots with Challenge Mode and its very creative level design. This game has an SMB1 feel to it, and its difficulty curve is on par with Super Monkey Ball 1.
