How I leaked Sega's new Super Monkey Ball game

The story of how we unearthed the existence of Super Monkey Ball Retro - now possibly known as Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania - a Super Monkey Ball sequel Sega hasn't even revealed yet.
Gameplay shown is from BitesSMB's Super Monkey Ball 2 level pack "Monkeyed Ball 2: Witty Subtitle": tmblr.co/ZsOWfZ2can9El

Oooh Nick. Brilliant. An incredible storyteller and a man who never gives up. Your drive and passion will make you a legend. In a world of KZbin wannabes, your dedication and gift will be well rewarded. Thank you for touching the lives of so many and making this difficult time during quarantine in many countries that are still struggling...a ray of light. I won't let you or all those incredible SuperMonkeyBall fans down. I am giving it 1000%. Life always does come full circle and we must enjoy the ride and then we can go around a few more times! My best to you, Detective Nick! Stayed tuned...we've only just begun.

And the gigabytes have to do with level size

Vextrove probably not, a stage would definitely not be an entire gigabyte large. maybe it’s some sort of currency, maybe for unlocking level parts and alternate costumes.

'Risk: 1 gigabyte' If you die it deletes a game.

Nonono, it runs a specific patterns of commands that will permanently brick 1 gigabyte worth of storage on your hard drive/SSD, rendering it unusable. It's like in-game payments except you pay with your device's storage space instead of money. Also if you run out of storage space it bricks you instead.

I think that the retro mode might be a "no jump" mode where you had the original controls but also maybe a "new" mode where you can jump so the new and returning can both play based on their skill sets.

this is what i was thinking, maybe even involving the old character designs for retro and the new ones for a "modern mode"

[@hexbug101]

I believe jumping was a banana blitz only thing
