A game with many different game modes that all revolve around monkeys in balls. That should be all you need to know.

Overview

The concept of the game is an updated formula of a classic idea. To move the monkey, you tilt the platform the monkey is sitting on. The ultimate aim is to get your monkey through a goal at the end of a course within a certain period of time. You obtain score based on how much time you have left at the end of the level, and how many bananas you collected during it. The game has a very nice difficulkty curve, starting at being easy enough for a five year old, and finally progressing to extremely hard levels. The game makes it very obvious that the bananas used are Dole.

Plot

The evil Dr. Bad-Boon is trying to break up the married couple AiAi and MeeMee. To get to his lair, the monkeys must traverse a series of floating platforms. Somehow this makes sence.
