And now we know which mini-games made the cut
25 years later, I’m still not ready for Sega to give up on the concept behindSonic Spinball, especially not now that the weirdly good game has found its way back into my life with theSega Genesis Mini. It’s never going to happen, I’m sure of it, but I can hope. Realistically, the closest thing I’m ever going to get is a cameo appearance inSuper Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, the upcoming PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch remaster. Sonic the Hedgehog will reportedly be a playable character in the game.
Sega hasn’t made an announcement about the crossover, but the achievement-tracking site Exophase postedSuper Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD‘s achievements and two of them reference dear old Sonic.
So yeah. That’s kinda fun!
Notably, the achievement list also details the remaster’s mini-game collection, which is down from50 games (in the original Wii version) to just 10 mini-games inBanana Blitz HD. Here’s what we’re getting:
Bowling, Baseball, and Monkey Target make up my Top Three for theSuper Monkey Ballseries, but if I had to pick only one to make it into this remaster, I’d definitely go with Target. It’s a true classic.
Banana Blitz HDis out October 29 for consoles and later this winter for PC.
