Map

The map, or minimap, is a UI feature in several Super Monkey Ball games. It is a top-down view of the stage, with an icon representing the player.
==Description==
The map shows the stage from a bird's-eye view. Despite its relatively flat appearance, it is rendered in 3D, and shows the tilt of the stage. The map follows the player, keeping them in the centre of the map, and is useful for seeing what is beneath the player. There are 3 levels of zoom the map can have.
==Appearances==
===In Monkey Ball, SMB1, SMB2 and Deluxe===
The map shows both the stage and bananas. The player's location is indicated by an image of the face of the monkey being used. The map is located in the bottom right corner of the screen.
===In Super Monkey Ball Adventure===
The map is now located on the bottom left of the screen, and no longer shows bananas. Regardless of what monkey is being used, the map will always show AiAi's face.
===In Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania===
The map is once again located in the bottom right. Bananas are not displayed on the map, and the player is now represented by a yellow arrow. The map now has a limited render distance, which can cause parts of the stage to disappear on certain stages.
