Sega have announced a nostalgic new character DLC for the Switch game Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. To coincide with Pac-Man’s 45th birthday, the iconic yellow blob who debuted in arcades back in 1980 has been added to the game.
Players who purchase the Pac-Man DLC can chomp their way around Super Monkey Ball’s 200+ stages as Namco’s hungry mascot. Not only that, but playing as Pac-Man replaces single bananas with pellets and bunches of bananas with cherries (naturally, gold bananas become super pellets) to give you an extra hit of nostalgia. It still remains a mystery as to how Pac-Man can eat the pellets though the ball though.
To use Pac-Man in-game after buying the character DLC, players must install the 2.02 update, which launched today (full patch notes here).).
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is available now on Nintendo Switch.
