It’s part of a Dole collaboration that was added in last night’s update for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.
As the author of the Dole banana mod for Banana Mania on PC, I’m beyond excited about this.
I’m confused, why is turning bananas into ads exciting? I don’t get the value added for anyone other than Dole?
I’m guessing it’s nostalgia. The bananas in the original game had stickers on them, but the newer games didn’t. There are a lot of people who love the old SMB games and are happy when anything is done to make the new ones like the old ones.
I don’t get being so excited about it, but these games weren’t a core part of my childhood. I played the party games in SMB 1 once and those were fun, but I don’t think I ever actually played the main game.
Ah, makes sense, thanks for the context
The same reason I hope CalorieMate stays in MGS 3 Delta, it was in the original and became a part of the identity of the game. Not having it would feel weird.
Kinda like when something gets remade and is nearly completely different from the original. All the right names and pieces are there, but its off and doesn’t feel right. 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street stuff.
ads targeting the younger generation of gamers that doesn’t know what they have done?
