Trivia

• This Party Game uses the theme of Jungle from Super Monkey Ball on a loop.
• Unlike most other Monkey Race iterations, items will not circulate in your inventory until you use them.
• The total amount of racers (when COMs are turned on) decreases if more players are connected, including 8 racers with 1 player, 6 racers with 2 players, and only 4 racers with 3 or 4 players (the latter lacking COMs altogether). This is likely done to prevent performance issues.
