{{nihongo|'''''Junction'''''|ジャンクション}} is a [[puzzle video game]] developed  and published by Micronet in 1990 under license by [[Konami]]. Using a variety of [[sliding puzzle]]s, the player rolls a ball (possibly containing a small armadillo character, as implied by the game's introduction) along tracks set on tiles. Players must align the tracks together and make the ball roll over bridged tracks, set on the border of the puzzle in order to complete each level. ''Junction'' has a total of 50 levels which the player can select at random, but a certain number of points have to be reached by level 50, in order for the player to beat the game and see the ending.

''Junction'' is based on Konami's ''[[Loco-Motion (video game)|Loco-Motion]]'' arcade game from 1982, but with isometric graphics.
