As was promised, another new character for Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania was revealed in the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase. In a nice surprise, it was Morgana from Persona 5; yes, another thing from Persona 5 on Switch, apart from the game...
SEGA's new trailer showed Morgana in action and another featured 12 multiplayer minigames that are included; as expected they look like a lot of fun, with activities like tennis, football / soccer and all sorts of shenanigans.
Morgana is another popular addition, we suspect - let us know what you think in the comments!

Look I get it, Persona 5 sells. Slap it on anything, everyone eats it up
But they really chose Morgana over Jack Frost.
this ish is bana-nyas! 🎶
Sadly paid DLC. 5 bucks is really expensive for just one character.
Well, Joker was playable in Smash so Morgana said he’s taking this one.
Dammit was hoping for monkey boy Alex Kidd.
@shonenjump86 With Smash you not only get Joker but a Persona 5 stage, a few Persona costumes, and some Persona 5 music. With this one all you get is the cat. Should of really being $0.99.
Well that was certainly unexpected. But any Monkey Ball character is a welcome one!
Anyone know if you can usually play the minigames against the computer in Monkey Ball? I don't do couch gaming often these days. Shame there's no online.
Morgana in a ball: That's pretty neat.
Monkey Target returning: DAT'S THE GOODS RIGHT THERE
@TheFrenchiestFry Maybe if we're lucky, he'll still show up as a rep for the mainline SMT games.
I demand an SMT rep.
Demi-fiend when?
the gang were that sick of morgana after okumuras palace they shoved him in a plastic ball
@TheFrenchiestFry - Morgana is P5. So it will obviously sell more as Morgana is used a lot in advertising and brand for Persona.
I don't think J. Frost has been used to advertise anything passed Nocturne's original release.
that tennis game looks pretty legit and a time-sucker for me, curious how it'll play
Atlus is apparently completely unwilling to give us actual Persona 5 on Switch but boy do they like advertising it on Nintendo platforms. 🤔
@TheFrenchiestFry It's possible we can get Jack Frost as well
Still not confirmed if they will have multiplayer in the main game like the old ones.
I saw a couple people joking about Joker the other day... but we actually got Morgana!? Lmao... that post was right. I would not believe it lol...
Edit: And I thought it would be like Nights or Vyse or something Sega for some reason o.o
...I feel like this was nowhere near as exciting of as announcement as that one guy made it out to be

Woo-hoo. Yay for Cat.
SERIOUSLY! Morgana over Banjo and Kazooie!
Banjo could get in because sonic got it and shown from sonic sega all stars racing with banjo kazooie banjo is in Sonics universe
@ShadowofTwilight22
Yeah it’s really annoying and my one friend is obsessed with joker and persona 5 he talks about joker all the time
I have watched the mini games trailer SO many times hee hee. Absolutely stoked! And yeah, Persona 5 is a tad obvious but fair dos, I think Morgana suits Monkeys, a hedgehog, a fox and a cat. (Monkeys win ofc)
Is the dlc a $ per Persona? Maybe they should have gone for an earlier one! (ahem)
I actually called this lol, neat reveal but not worth the $5, especially if he doesn't come with any music or even just voice clips
At this point it's starting to feel like there will be more SEGA characters that Super Monkey Ball characters.
I am so happy that Monkey Ball is back, and like back to its roots at that. It's exactly what I wanted for the series, and I think what most of the fanbase was hoping for as well. I hope beyond all the remake levels here, that they consider new stages via DLC, people want this, and once we have it, we'll simply just want more of this.
So no one else going to say it? OK, I'll bite...
Monkey Tennis?
@TheFrenchiestFry
Morgana is instantly recognizable to Persona 5 fans; Jack Frost is not. A lot of P5 fans probably don’t know that Jack Frost is Atlus’ mascot.
Trailers for future DLC for a game isn’t even out yet and most likely will already be in the base game when it launches.
It's a shame that he's DLC, but I'd rather have Morgana than Joker at this point.
At least the party games look good! Bring on Monkey Target!!!
I might've gotten it but that price point is absolutely laughable. No way is this worth 5 bucks for a single character.
Still looking forward to the game but yeesh...
Bowling is great. Some lanes have curves to them, others have waves.
Monkey Fight is hilarious fun.
Monkey Target is sublime (prepare to lose days to this!)
Monkey Tennis, Pool and Golf are reeeally great versions of the games in their own right.
Get some friends around, get some snacks and drinks. LOVE IT!. xx
...here come the comments about Persona 5's exclusivity again. I'm 95% sure there's some shady inside exclusivity deal between Sega and Sony for that.
I just wanted demon slayer LOL.
I would've taken Teddie or Jack Frost over this goddamn incel cat.
I have a feeling my friend is going to be excited for this character joining Super Monkey Ball.
@TheFrenchiestFry They're clearly saving Jack Frost for the SMT crossover... hee ho!
Call it wishful thinking.
@PBandSmelly Nah those people specifically won't stick around once they realize there's no dating mechanics
Normal Persona fans will probably enjoy it though
@CurtisABXY It'd be cool if the DLC characters came with some music or some levels with elements/aesthetics from their home games
@Kirbo100
Ah, good! Don't need those 28 year olds that drool over 16 year old Futaba on our hands.
Now we just have the furries... yaaaayy...
(DISCLAIMER, I CAN MAKE FUN OF FURRIES, I AM ONE MYSELF, I JUST FIND THE ONES ATTRACTED TO THEM WEIRD)
@Specter_of-the_OLED Not to mention Joker in Smash has unique fighting mechanics and hundreds of hours tuning/balancing.
Whereas this is just a different looking model in a ball that plays like all the other characters.
@TheFrenchiestFry
Ikr, Jack Frost is wayyyyy cooler than that stupid simp cat….
also when are you returning to twitter btw? I’ve noticed that you privated after the “being horny isn’t funny” and “george floyd was a pornstar” tweets you made had major backlash…. 😂
