Fast facts on Smilebit
Founded: 2000-07
Defunct: 2004-07
Merged into: Sega
Headquarters: Japan

Smilebit (スマイルビット) was a research and development division within Sega. It is best seen as a logical continuation of Sega AM6 and was headded by Shun Arai.

AM6 had been an unusual group within Sega, being split into Team Aquila (Victory Goal) and Team Andromeda (Panzer Dragoon), as well as smaller task forces such as G9 Team. With Smilebit, all of these groups were finally brought together under one banner (save for staff who moved to United Game Artists), and Smilebit became the de facto studio for sports games (although it also diversified into other genres).
