Super Monkey Ball Jr. is a platform game for the Game Boy Advance that is modeled after Amusement Vision's console game Super Monkey Ball. It is one of the few games on the GBA to make use of its 3D capabilities. The series is copyrighted by Amusement Vision and Sega. The game was also released on the N-gage under the name Super Monkey Ball, which did not feature any multi-player. At early November 2002, the game did not have Sega's logo.
