** ''Super Monkey Ball 2'' reuses assets from the first game.
** ''Banana Blitz HD'' reuses the models from the original Wii version, while Sonic's character model is ripped straight from ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''. Likewise, ''Banana Mania'' was built off of ''Banana Blitz HD'', meaning the character models are the same. Tails' model was also ripped from ''Sonic Generations''.

''Super Monkey Ball'' is a series of arcade-style platform games created by Creator/{{Sega}}'s Amusement Vision division. Though dating back to an UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame running on the UsefulNotes/{{Sega Dreamcast}}-like NAOMI hardware, ''Super Monkey Ball'' was Sega's first major franchise to bypass their own consoles entirely. The gameplay is similar to the famous ''VideoGame/MarbleMadness'' arcade game, with one important difference: '''[[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys MONKEYS!]]''' Oh, and something about tilting the world instead of having direct control of your character. But mostly monkeys.
