Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure, known in Japan as Universal Studios Japan Adventure (ユニバーサル・スタジオ・ジャパン・アドベンチャー, Yunibāsaru Sutajio Japan Adobenchā), is a 2001 party video game developed by Nai'a Digital Works and published by Kemco for the GameCube. Set at the Universal Studios Japan park, the object of the game is to complete several mini-games loosely based on the real-life attractions Back to the Future: The Ride, Jaws, Jurassic Park River Adventure, E.T. Adventure, Backdraft, Wild, Wild, Wild West Stunt Show, and Waterworld. The player is required to collect trash located in the park to be able to ride the themed rides; the player is also encouraged to wear merchandise based on the respective franchises and complete movie quizzes in which they must answer trivia questions about the Universal Studios films.

The game was released in Japan on December 7, 2001 to negative reviews, being criticized for its tedious gameplay, poor graphics and anomalous concept.
