Original Stage Mode

Original Stage Mode is a mode in Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, in which the player must face 23 more difficult versions of stages which were made easier in Banana Mania. Although these versions are much closer to the originals, they still contain some differences. Original Stage Mode is one of the Special Modes, and can be purchased from the Point Shop for 10,000 Banana Points.
Like in Story Mode, and all other special modes, the player's best time for each stage are recorded on the stage select.

==Trivia==
*The stages Arthropod, Air Hockey and Catwalk are still different to the originals even in Original Stage Mode, as in Arthropod the goal no longer overhangs the edge, in Air Hockey the goal is rotated 90 degrees, and in Catwalk there are no lips on the sides of the paths. 
**Ironically, the Original Stage Mode versions of Air Hockey and Catwalk are even harder than the originals as a result of their differences
*Some stages were changed in Banana Mania, but don't appear in Original Stage Mode. These include:
**Hitter, which no longer has a solid square object surrounding the goal.
**AV Logo, which has a completely different gap layout, and is now called Banana Plate.
**Conveyer Parts, in which the conveyor belts now briefly pause upon meeting in the middle.
**Monkey Master, which now has the goal between AiAi's eyes, rather than on his hair.
**Created By, which no longer features the letters AV, in favour of hearts, and is now called Last Stage.
*The mode's description states the levels have "the original difficulty from 2001 and 2002", but the levels Catwalk and Chaos are from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, which released in 2005.
