Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility: Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

Each course in this game is different, meaning that the player has a good chance to practice their adaptation skills. Some courses have gaps in them requiring the player to jump, while others have moving ramps, meaning that the player needs to time their rolling to when the ramps line up. Players who struggle with adapting to changing circumstances may find that they often have to play through the levels before they reach the goal. Starting with the earlier levels, the player should experiment with moving their monkey around the course, stopping, and jumping to get the feel for the controls of the game. Then, when the more challenging courses appear, they will be better able to adapt. 

Time Management: Working under pressure. 

The courses in Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania are timed, meaning that  the player needs to reach the goal before the time runs out or they will need to repeat the level over. If the player takes too long to move through the course, the timer will give them a 10 second warning and then the level will need to be replayed. For players who struggle with working under a deadline, this can be a way to practice staying focused when only a limited amount of time is available. Players should start on the easiest levels of the game, familiarize themselves with the controls of the game, and then try to get to the goal as quickly as possible without sacrificing control or focus. It will take some practice, but this game is one of the most entertaining ways to practice this skill!
