Super Monkey Ball is a series of arcade platform video games initially developed by Amusement Vision and published by Sega. The series debuted in 2001 with the arcade game Monkey Ball, which was ported to GameCube as Super Monkey Ball later that year. Several sequels and ports have been released.

The gameplay involves moving one of several monkey characters in a ball through an obstacle to a goal in a time limit. Bananas can be collected for extra points. In addition, several minigames can be played, making the series party games as well.
