Press release:
IRVINE, Calif. – June 5, 2024.
SEGA is proud to announce that, as part of the SEGA Pass DLC, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble will welcome four playable characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog™ franchise to the roster!

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems on 25 June 2024.

Get ready to race, roll, and spin dash with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy as they join AiAi and the gang in their epic adventure! All four characters will be playable across both Adventure Mode and Battle Mode, each with unique stats to help them on the courses. Plus, for these characters only, all in-game pick-ups will switch from bananas to Gold Rings in further homage to the classic franchise.

Fans who purchase the Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble Digital Deluxe Edition on the Nintendo eShop for €69.99 will receive both the standard edition of the game and the SEGA Pass, which includes a total of SIX playable characters – Sonic, Tails, Knuckles Amy, and two additional playable characters – from iconic SEGA franchises, along with a set of 15 bonus SEGA-themed character customization items.

The SEGA Pass will also be available as a separate purchase for €24.99, so those who choose the Digital Deluxe Edition will save on the bundle! All content is scheduled to be released over the coming months.
