When Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania arrives next month, the game will offer newcomers a chance to experience content from the first three games in the series. However, it seems there will also be one major change from those games: the single-player campaign will no longer include lives. The levels themselves should still offer a significant amount of challenge, but players won’t have to worry about a “Game Over” screen. It’s a move that echoes Sega’s recent changes to Sonic Colors: Ultimate, with the goal being to make the game “less frustrating to newcomers.” Bananas will still be used to unlock content, though more information has yet to be disclosed.
