Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania - Kiryu Character Reveal (Yakuza Series) | PS5, PS4

Honestly, this might as well have been a minigame in Yakuza and nobody would have batted an eye.

Monkey Ball started as an Arcade game, so it might happen, depends on when it was released.

I'd rather have Majima in Smash honestly Kiryu's awesome but his moveset would probably be a bit on the standard side whereas Majima has a huge arsenal of crazy moves to draw from when making a Smash moveset. Tekken I'd proabaly rather have Kiryu though because imagining Majima in Tekken is giving me flashbacks to all the Eddie mains online that are a PITA to counter because all their attacks put their hurtboxes in weird spots.
