Sounds like a Super Monkey Ball knockoff.
I'm pretty sure it's not. There were no monkeys in the game that I could recall (I don't think I played all of the levels), and I'm sure there are plenty of games similar to this anyway.

I thought you might be talking about the Ball Revamped Series of flash games, but then you said it had 3d graphics.
Ye who would Tope Meaninglessness. Ye who ignore All We Have. I say to you You Shall Not Pass!
Gitaroo, I said knockoff. Something with the same style of gameplay, but not SMB itself.
@sailing101 After looking up some images of the game you mentioned, yes, that definitely isn't it, but the ball does look kind of similar to the one I'm thinking of: it had a quad-colored pattern, except it was red, yellow, green, and blue, I think.
@Digifiend Yeah, I thought you were suggesting that it both played and looked like SMB. Yes, it did have the same style of gameplay (as mentioned above, it's like a 3D version of Marble Madness), but the camera was fixed in an angled top down position.

One last bump for now.

Maybe Hamsterball? I only played it once but It was a game like you mentioned with a rodent theme, so the high score names being Packrat would make sense. The ball wasn't multicolored, though.
Thanks, but I don't believe it is Hamsterball. I recently looked through all of the older games Shockwave has in every category of games that would fit this game. For a better frame of reference as to what this game is, the closest thing I found was a game called Hyper Sphere: www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/hypersphere.jsp

This is a super late reply, but was the game called Roll On?

I can't find a definite link, but I STRONGLY believe it is "3D Stress Ball", a flash Marble Blast rip-off. the game was removed from the site years ago.

Does anyone remember this game from Shockwave.com where you played as a quad-colored (red, green, yellow, blue, I think) ball that had to get through a set of obstacle courses without falling off? The game had a kind of relaxing, zen type feel to it, with relaxing music, and stages that floated in mid-air. Come to think of it, it's kind of like Marble Madness, although with 3D graphics. One thing that really sticks out in my mind is that the automatically-set names on the high score board were all listed as "Packrat."
