AiAi

Aiai is the main character in Super Monkey Ball. He has appeared with Sonic several times, notably in Sonic Riders and Sega Superstars Tennis.

Personality
Aiai is a monkey who loves bananas. He is usually absent-minded, thinking, "That banana I had was really delicious." Aiai deeply cares for his wife Meemee, his son Baby, and friend Gongon. Despite being absent-minded at times, he is very kind and very brave, going as far as exploring the inside of a volcano on his home island of Monkey Island.

Physical Appearance
Aiai has similar traits to a Spider Monkey. Although he lacks a tail, he does have an orange shirt with the letter A on it (possibly for Aiai). He has dotted eyes, a small scruff of hair, and rounded ears that stick out of his head. In Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz and Sega Superstar Tennis, his look was updated, giving him a blue backpack, red oval shaped cheeks, a cat-like smile, and a much sweeter look all in all.

Sonic Riders
Aiai appears in Sonic Riders as an unlockable character. Oddly enough, he is a Power-type character, and as such, pushes lighter characters around easily. However, due to his small posture, he is easily pushed around just as much.
