Super Monkey Ball 3D[a] is a platform party game, part of the Super Monkey Ball game series.

It was developed and published by Sega for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console.

Players can either use the Circle Pad or the internal gyroscope of the Nintendo 3DS to navigate AiAi and the others so they can collect as many bananas as possible within the time limit as in previous games in the series.

[6] Sega has also released the game as the downloadable title for the Nintendo eShop in Europe and North America on April 3, 2014.

[7] Audrey Drake of IGN gave the game 7.5/10, praising the gameplay and story, but she criticized Monkey Race for being a "rip-off of Mario Kart with clunky controls", and Monkey Fight for "being a rip-off of Super Smash Bros. with clunky controls".
