In the lead-up to the release of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania early next month, Sega has been promoting all sorts of collaborations from Sonic the Hedgehog to Hello Kitty. It seems the star of the show AiAi will also be breaking out of his ball ahead of the game's arrival.
The multiplayer battle royale party game Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has now announced its own special Super Monkey Ball collab to line up with the new Season 5 Jungle theme. If you want this costume, you're going to need a total of 10 crowns. It'll be made available on 30th September.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout was announced for the Nintendo Switch earlier this year and then got delayed in May. At the time, the developer Mediatonic said it wanted to make the new versions worth the wait, and admitted a summer release window was "just too soon". On a more positive note, this delay will also give the team more time to adds features like crossplay.
What do you think of the latest Fall Guys collab? Looking forward to its arrival on Switch? Tell us down below.

Meh, I deleted the game off of my PS4 and PS5 earlier in the month.
I'll be glad to finally try this game whenever it comes to Switch. I'm not good at battle royales because they're all shooters, but this is basically a Mario Party royale and I'm all about that.
I'm guessing this is a timed exclusive costume and it won't be here by the time it comes to Switch, which would be a real shame. So much of Monkey Ball's audience is Nintendo fans. Hope I'm wrong about that.
@Not_Soos Yep, it's in line with Season 5. Hopefully, Mediatonic will have some sort of promotion, event or offer when the game arrives on Switch and Xbox, so new players can access this content.
Not to be rude but who still plays this....... besides me
@Not_Soos All skins in the battle pass and so and so have a chance to come back by RNG means, every day the store resets, so the more you buy out of the store, the better the chance you can get a BP item you missed, pretty cool right?
Well, I mean, Mokey Ball does yell FALL OUT when you fall out, so it’s not that dissimilar
@Thelastjedi2007 ... I do haha
Interested in playing this on Switch. I'll be perfectly honest, not sure how I feel about AiAi's face been eaten away with a Fall Guy in the middle. It's a bit weird.
Here's hoping this game still has a playerbase when it finally releases on Switch...whenever that is. :/
@JR150 It will, because it comes to Xbox consoles same day with cross-play.
If Fall Guys comes to Xbox Game Pass on day 1, the game will be highly populated on Switch.
People are flaming Fall Guys everywhere, but at least they made something else than Battle Royale shooter number 110.
Fall Guys, Tetris 99, Forza Horizon 4 and Pac-Man 99 is proof that Battle Royale doesn't need to be for FPS only.
Forza Horizon 4 do have a 72 player race with no AI cars of course.
Weird fact. MAG on PS3 could have 256 people in one game. On more powerful systems, the limit is only 100...
Hmm... still monkey ball is a fun game.
i absolutely love playing fall guys on da ps4 and pc, when it comes to switch it'll become my platform of choice for playing the game on due to the easy pick up and play nature of it all
** AiAi rolls off the edge **
FALL GUY! Wait...
Looking forward to it tbf
I remember on the GCN that if you had both Pikmin and Smash Bros Melee you would unlock an exclusive trophy. That was even the reason I became such a fan of Pikmin. Couldn't they just do something similar these days? Even if it's just an optional way to unlock the costume? It would make people more likely to buy the games that way.
I've never played it despite owning a PS4. To be honest, I never really felt like playing this on that system. However, on the Switch is a different story. Being able to play this pick-up and play game in handheld mode sounds very intriguing. I would have rather them just release the game, then worry about cross-play, but that's just my opinion.
Will defo get it on switch - depends on pricing. 20bucks - day 1buy. i could buy it on xbox series too, but i prefer the switch still. and since they're gonna add crossplay, i can play with anyone <3
