Discover The Best Monkey Games For Fun And Adventure

What are the best monkey games? Whether it be spinning balls of primates going at a hundred miles per hour, or gorillas learning to fly before pigs do, there’s a lot of fun to be had. While there are a few popular IPs you already know are going to make the list, we’ve also made sure to include a few surprise picks to keep these different and provide a couple of titles you might not have heard of before.

For more animal antics, be sure to browse our lists of cat games, dinosaur games, and dog games, as well as our list of games like Stardew Valley if you want to try your hand at some farming. Of course, legendary ape DK makes an appearance in a few Mario sports titles, so be sure to check out our golf games and tennis games lists if you want to play ball primate style.

Here are the best monkey games on Switch and mobile:

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees – Switch and mobile

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a quaint experience, but a thoughtful one too, detailing one gibbon’s escape from a deteriorating environment. It’s by far the most poignant title on this list, packing a touching and palpably human experience for a monkey-based platformer (you don’t see much eco-awareness in Donkey Kong, that’s for sure).

If you still need convincing, why not take a read of our Gibbon: Beyond the Trees review?

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania – Switch

The headline act for our monkey games list is of course AiAi, MeeMee, GonGon, the baby, and the doctor, also known as the Super Monkey Ball crew. With all the classic levels you used to love, and the minigames too, there are hours of monkey business in this reimagining of the Gamecube series.

Plus, in this title, other Sega icons like Sonic, and Yakuza’s Kiryu, make an entertaining appearance. If that doesn’t grab you, maybe our Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania review will.

Flying Gorilla – mobile

Flying Gorilla describes itself as “a surprisingly popular game”, and they hit the nail right on the head there. I will say now, that as insane as you think a flying gorilla game could be, you need to bundle that thought up and throw it out the window, as this title is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, and quite possibly for good reason.

Even still, as a free-to-play game, it’s worth picking this one up just to blow your tiny mind, if nothing else.
