Rolling a monkey in a ball through a series of twisting, maze-like courses is a challenge, sure, but what about a monkey trapped in a cube? How about a pyramid, or a spiky star? All three alternative monkey enclosures are available now in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD on Steam, unlocked via the super-secret codes “cube, “triangle, and “star.

The official Monkey Ball Twitter account has been teasing alternate shapes since December 2, tweeting a video of monkey hero AiAi tumbling about in a box. Now Super Monkey Cube, Super Monkey Pyramid, and Super Monkey Star are playable in the Steam version of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD.
