Super Monkey Ball Adventure is a platform action game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Sega for the PlayStation 2, GameCube and PlayStation Portable.

This game differs from other games in the Monkey Ball series in that it is a traditional 3D platformer, rather than a ball-rolling puzzle.
