Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz was a motion-controlled game from the early days of Wii, which makes it a somewhat surprising pick for potentially reviving the series on modern systems.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is one of the few games to offer same-system multiplayer in a time when almost everything is online-only, making party mode easily its most redeeming quality.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a fun return to some classic Super Monkey Ball levels and modes, but I found some of the single-player levels punishingly difficult.
