This was the first game I bought for the Wii (it was on store shelves before the system was)...and the first I returned. Not interested in getting burned by this one again.
@GameDadGrantInstead of 3 awesome mini-games (or 9 really good mini-games as of SMB2), it has 50 borderline unplayable ones. Okay, that's a bit harsh, but only a handful of them are any fun at all and even those are like a Mario Party mini-game at best. Banana Blitz made me worried the Wii's motion controls were just broken because of how unpleasant so many of its features were. I think I played Monkey Golf, Monkey Pool and Monkey Target
each more than the entirety of Banana Blitz.
The single-player was unremarkable too. I think the jump button made things too finicky and turned the game into an awkward platformer rather than a fun rolling-based challenge.
