Beginner mode is really easy, it took me ages though since i thought you had to try and collect every banana.
The title screen music is great, especially when it bursts into full swing.
I did the Beginner's Mode in about 10 mins, but I can only get upto Floor 16 in the Advanced one. I also got enough points to unlock Monkey Bowling - which is a great game too.
I also like the music - true SEGA stuff! :)
Reminds me a bit of the later Sonic games on the MegaDrive, and a bit of Streets of Rage too...
Keep it up SEGA, can't wait for the sequel too! :D
Problem is that it can get really frustrating at times.

I just had a wee shot there, i got off to a good start with 5 bananas and a 100 point target, i then got a triple score on the 300 on the right hand pyramid, but then it went downhill. Incredibly powerful windspeeds totally screwed my normal approach runs and left me falling some 10-15 meters short of target.
> Cookie monster. Just been on the site. It looks great.
Still needing an up date though, i may do it tomorrow, but i need to find more recent pics and stuff. As well as change all of the featured games previews into reviews.
By then you should have slowed to a good enough speed to land, but still have enough speed to reach your target.
The trouble with the bananas is that they're so small, so the slightest turn can make a lot of a difference

I use the brake balls for the 500's, i find it more reliable to get 2 bananas than 4.
