Super Monkey Ball Ticket Blitz is Ready to Roll!
Sega has announced the release of Super Monkey Ball Ticket Blitz. The ticket redemption game, which is the 13th title in the Super Monkey Ball franchise, continues the adventures of AIAI – the adorable Monkey-in-a-Ball that started the Monkey Ball franchise. Players roll AIAI along a path toward the End Goal, collecting as many bananas as possible along the way to increase their points and win tickets. Players must be careful not to roll AIAI off the path or he will drop into thin air!
Players are given one of 12 randomly selected stages to compete on. Each stage consists of 3 levels starting easy with a floor that does not move and ending at the hard level with trap doors that require deft trackball skills to maneuver. If a player navigates safely to the End Goal, they get to take on the Jackpot Bonus Round. Players get one chance to send AIAI down a ramp at just the right speed so he'll fly off and land in the Jackpot Bonus Target.
"Very few gaming franchises have maintained such long term popularity and relevance," stated Sega President and COO, Paul Williams. "Monkey Ball's universal appeal lies in its intuitive game-play combined with the delightful and captivating AIAI character. It's a combination that's proven extremely popular."
Interestingly, Super Monkey Ball Ticket Blitz features the largest Trackball ever used in a coin-op game. "The track ball is a giant 7" in diameter," said Sega R&D General Manager, Tad Nagamatsu. "The size of the track ball adds a great deal to the fun of the game and we've further enhanced it by adding lighting that makes the track ball glow like a mini star field!"
