SAN FRANCISCO (August 1, 2006) – SEGA® of America, Inc. today  announced that Super Monkey Ball Adventure™ has shipped in North  America for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and  Nintendo GameCube™. Super Monkey Ball Adventure is an all-new  platform-based journey through five amazing worlds filled with puzzles  and quests. Classic Super Monkey Ball gameplay is bolstered by a chant  system that allows the monkeys to render themselves invisible to  enemies, hover over terrain, and even transform their energy balls  into wood and float on water or be set on fire to overcome obstacles.  The three lively new party games and 50 colorful new puzzle games  ensure that the bold new direction of Super Monkey Ball Adventure  retains its links to the beloved heritage of the franchise.    

“Super Monkey Ball is one of SEGA’s most popular and successful  franchises," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing,  SEGA of America, Inc. “Super Monkey Ball Adventure introduces gamers  to four new islands of AiAi’s home world for an exciting gameplay  experience that’s all-new to the series while incorporating the puzzle  levels and mini-games that have defined the franchise and made it  popular."    

Super Monkey Ball Adventure is the first platform adventure for AiAi  and an all-new cast of monkey friends. The story begins when Prince  Abe-abe and Princess DeeDee of opposing kingdoms fall in love but are  forbidden from marrying. All five of the Monkey World kingdoms are  plagued by misunderstanding and suspicion brought on by the gloomy  Naysayers who are sucking the joy from the primates’ cheerful world.  It’s up to AiAi and his friends to travel through five unique worlds  to restore happiness and defeat the evil Naysayers so that the happy  couple can live happily ever after.    

Rated “E" for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Review Board,  Super Monkey Ball Adventure for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube is  available at retailers nationwide for an MSRP of $39.95.
