Master Banana Mania Beginner Levels

AntMag.NET

This section covers the ten floors of Beginner mode in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, plus three extra stages for clearing the initial ten without dying. This walkthrough aims to map as many floors as possible, though some are too complex for ASCII representation. Bananas are optional collectibles, but this guide will point you towards many of them.

The fastest path through Beginner mode is: 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Beginner One

Time Limit: 60 seconds
Bananas: 4
Banana Bunches: 0
Number Of Gates: 1

Key: GOAL - Level Finish, SP - Starting Point, W - Wall, BN - Banana, BB - Banana Bunch, HP - Hump, UP - Bumper, R - Ramp

From the starting point, head straight to grab the first Banana. Turn right for another Banana, then left for a third. Proceed at full speed towards the GOAL. As you pass through the gate, you will collect the final Banana on the far side due to momentum.

Note: It is possible to fall off the level by gaining too much speed on the corners, which have a slight upturn.

Beginner Two

Time Limit: 60 seconds
Bananas: 3
Banana Bunches: 0
Number Of Gates: 2

Key: GOAL - Level Finish, SP - Starting Point, W - Wall, BN - Banana, BB - Banana Bunch, HP - Hump, UP - Bumper, R - Ramp

Floor Two offers two distinct exits. The walkthrough is split into the BLUE GOAL and the GREEN GOAL.

BLUE GOAL

To reach this exit, go around the central hole, collect the Banana as you circle, grab the Banana near the back wall, and then proceed through the GOAL to reach Floor Three.

GREEN GOAL

From the start, move forward slightly, turn 180 degrees, and run towards the ramp on the wall behind you. Ascend the ramp. At the small flat section at the top, pull back on the Analog Stick to slow down. As you fall off the ramp (aim for the center), pull directly backward. Once you land on the platform, do not touch the Analog Stick. Allow your Monkey Ball to come to a complete stop, then go through the GOAL to warp to Floor Five.

Beginner Three

Time Limit: 60 seconds
Bananas: 4
Banana Bunches: 0
Number Of Gates: 1

Floor Three features two parallel straightaways. You start on the straightaway adjacent to the GOAL on the other. You cannot jump the wall. Head down either straightaway, navigate the curve that turns you 180 degrees (you will collect two Bananas regardless of direction chosen), and then proceed down the new straightaway to reach the GOAL and advance to Floor Four.
