MeeMee

**MeeMee** is a fictional character of the *Super Monkey Ball* franchise. She is the wife of AiAi and mother of Baby who lives on Monkey Island with her family and friends.

Just like AiAi, MeeMee also loves bananas but worries too much about her husband's obsession believing it to become a major mess one day. She is very caring and nurturing and loves her family more than anything. For good luck, MeeMee wears her lucky flower on her head.

As of the latest installment, MeeMee has appeared in every title of the *Sega All-Stars* series of video games, alongside fellow *Super Monkey Ball* character, AiAi.

## Background

### Brief history

MeeMee made her debut in the 2001 arcade game *Monkey Ball*, which would later be renamed *Super Monkey Ball* for future systems and references.

MeeMee is the deuteragonist of the franchise, appearing in every video game since its first title. She is second in command after her husband AiAi and is one of the four members of the Super Monkey Ball team. MeeMee is also known as “The Heart” and “The Charm” of the group, meaning she is the one that keeps the team together. She lives on Monkey Island with her friends and family, and loves to roll around in one of the monkey balls.

Later, it is revealed that the Evil Dr. Bad-Boon loves MeeMee and wants to marry her, although she does not feel the same and loves AiAi instead. Bad-Boon tried to win her heart over several times, but failed on all attempts, especially since he tried to attack her friends. He even tried to go back in time to meet MeeMee before she met AiAi, but Baby saved his mother from the evil she would’ve succumbed by also going back in time.

MeeMee, AiAi, and their friends are always on the go trying to stop those who continue to steal their bananas and try to split up the Super Monkey Ball team.

### Personality

MeeMee is caring, nurturing, charismatic, confident, and outgoing. She loves all her friends as much as she loved her husband and son, AiAi and Baby, even though she has doubts in AiAi's obsession for bananas. She tries to be friends with everyone and pursues to be as optimistic as possible - but is always worrying about her husband's mischievous obsessions.

### Appearance

MeeMee wears a pink skirt and flower charm on her head. She has brown fur and spiral-like ears just like most monkeys on the island. She also has brown eyes.

MeeMee appears as a playable and unlockable character in *Sega Superstars Tennis.* After completing the singles championship in the Super Monkey Ball Planet, she will be unlocked and will become playable. In the game, MeeMee carries a green tennis racket and is a Spin type character, meaning she will be able to move the ball whilst in the air, causing it to swirl depending on where the player wants it to go on the court.

MeeMee's Superstar State is "Flower Power," a reference to her in-game ability from the *Super Monkey Ball* franchise. Her Superstar State, when activated, will cut to her dancing and surrounded by flowers. When the cutscene is over and a opponent hits the tennis ball after her, MeeMee will summon several Monkey Balls with different characters inside them (including YanYan, Baby, and GonGon) to roll in on the opponents side of the court and attempt to knock them over. When the opponent is knocked over, the time until they get up will be delayed.
