Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is just around the corner, releasing on PlayStation 5 and PS4 in early October. The game revives a beloved SEGA franchise, remastering the original games in one huge collection, and it's looking pretty great so far. Recently, it was revealed that Beat from Jet Set Radio will be a playable character, and he's not the only SEGA guest star.

Yes, Sonic and Tails will be joining the ball-rolling fun. The pair can be seen in the short video above, and it looks like using one of them will replace bananas with rings, which is a nice touch. These characters are free and will be unlockable in the game through normal play, so there are no pre-order shenanigans to worry about here.
