You won’t believe what inspired Super Monkey Ball

If you spent your youth tilting stages in Super Monkey Ball, you know all about AiAi, MeeMee, and the gang. But you probably didn’t know about the bizarre connection between this classic Sega platformer and… a diesel car engine?! 🐒🚗

Did you know that for Super Monkey Ball Adventure, Sega was heavily inspired by a specific Honda commercial featuring a bright, whimsical, sunny landscape? They wanted that exact same vibe for their game. But here is where it gets crazy: by pure, unbelievable coincidence, the artist they ended up working with to achieve that look was the exact same artist who animated the original Honda advert! From selling diesel engines to rolling monkeys, here’s the ridiculous true story of one of gaming’s wildest coincidences!
