Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a collection that gathers stages from across the Monkey Ball series, having players tilt the environment to roll a ball containing a monkey through elevated, obstacle-laden courses toward each goal. Collecting bananas along the way boosts scores and unlocks bonuses.

By pulling levels from multiple past entries, it offers a broad overview of the series' course design, alongside its traditional minigame collection for multiplayer party play. Its precise, physics-based rolling mechanics remain the core challenge throughout.
