It didn’t take long for fans of the Yakuza series to make memes about its protagonist Kiryu joining Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. Besides Kiryu, several other guest characters are joining the six main monkeys. Sonic the Hedgehog was teased at the end of the “Meet the Gang” trailer, and he was later confirmed alongside his buddy Tails. Three classic Sega consoles – Dreamcast, Game Gear and Saturn – are available as playable characters in the Sega Legends Pack.

Super Monkey Ball is an obscure but beloved title among Sega fans. Debuting as the arcade game Monkey Ball in Japan, Super Monkey Ball has spawned several home console and mobile games in its 20-year history. It grew in popularity with the Nintendo Gamecube as a launch title and party game and is still one of Sega’s more popular franchises.

In a new trailer on Twitter, Sega revealed that Kazuma Kiryu would be joining the roster of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. Unlike the classic Sega consoles, which are a part of day one DLC, Kiryu can be unlocked within the game at no charge. A chibi version of Kiryu runs around in the ball with his signature stoic face while collecting drinks in the trailer. Quick as ever, the Internet already has memes featuring mini Kiryu. These include a brief comic featuring Kiryu’s friend Goro Majima from alciedoodles, a clip from VenomDeathNINJA showing how Kiryu’s Super Monkey Ball appearance could be justified in the Yakuza series, and a piece of art from CasualLegume.

Kiryu becoming a member of the Super Monkey Ball group seems to be par the course for his usual antics. Within the world of Yakuza, over-the-top comedy and action are normal, and outlandish events fit right in alongside the crime and violence one might expect from the franchise at a glance. Similar things happen to Takayumi Yagami in Judgement, which is in the Yakuza universe.

However, with even more guest characters on the way, such as classic Sonic and Tails, one must wonder how many more characters will be surprise additions. Sega’s properties have had several releases over the past year, including Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown and the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei V. Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania landing on several different consoles also means that there is a possibility of more collaborations for DLC.

Super Monkey Ball adding new characters will make the puzzle party game even more enticing as the year progresses. Both Sony and Microsoft showed a willingness to lend their properties to different games for collaborations in the past, most recently with Ratchet & Clank and Halo. A wide-reaching collaboration, in the vein of Nintendo’s beloved Super Smash Bros Ultimate, would be a surprising but enjoyable twist for the upcoming title.
