Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD Goes Fast With Special Guest Character Sonic

The HD remaster of Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz will be the first game in the fun series to release in quite a long time. It seems to be on the right track to deliver the fast-paced monkey in ball action we’ve come to know and love. And its release is coming at us fast, but it’s not the only fast thing about this game. A special character is speeding through the place.

In a special announcement video, it was revealed that Sonic the Hedgehog would be an unlockable character in the game. You can see the trailer below. Sonic may not be as familiar with being in a ball (though he’s fine being a ball, I guess), but he certainly is with speed. Hardcore fans will probably also appreciate that the design is based on Sonic’s classic look.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD will release sometime this winter for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. A demo is currently available on the PS4 and Switch, which  you can read about through here.
