Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.
North America
The North American cover art keeps things firmly in the classic Monkey Ball territory. Familiar faces roll about in their translucent balls while all kinds of mayhem ensues behind. It doesn’t go heavy on the ‘Adventure’ theme — you’re not going to know that this one is any different from what’s come before — but its bright colours are certainly eye-catching enough.
Europe
Ooo okay, now this is leaning into the ‘Adventure’ vibes a bit more. The overall design is much darker, with the muted colouring standing apart from the above variant. But perhaps most importantly, where are the balls? We still see AiAi and his pals, but are they… walking? What kind of madness is this? If you wanted to know what makes Super Monkey Ball Adventure different from the prior games, this cover puts it front and centre.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
