{ C.Introduction. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Now I've got all the token stuff out of the way, let's roll!
Welcome to Christopher Hyde's Ape Escape Walkthrough. For this
guide, I have been using the European version of the game (PAL).
The US version of the game is very different. It has different
level names, different monkey names and descriptions and Buzz is
called Jake. I think people using this version should be able to
use the guide without too much trouble.
If you have any comments, criticisms or anything at all, just
e-mail me (kiffa@hiswitzend.fsnet.co.uk). When e-mailing, please
follow these rules:
1.Put 'Ape Escape FAQ' as the subject. I get so many e-mails a
day that, if you do this, there is a greater chance I will
respond. Courtesy also increases the chances of me responding.
2.Any e-mail saying this FAQ is bad, making any rude comments or
trying to cause trouble will instantly be deleted. OK?
3.Read and re-read the FAQ before e-mailing me questions. Chances
are the answer will be in the guide.
4.Erm...thats it.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ D.About me. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
My name is Christopher Hyde and this is my second FAQ that I have
written (see section 6G for details on my others). I decided to
write the FAQ because Ape Escape is a brilliant game and provided
me with many months of challenges (such as catching those last few
elusive monkeys and getting gold on all the Time Attacks).
Anyway, that is the end of the first few sections and now comes
the beginner's guide to Ape Escape. This section basically covers
the essential gameplaying and, if you are on Time Period 3 by now,
you should know the stuff covered in this section, so you don't
really need to use this section.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ E.Story. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
A young monkey named Specter was bored. He was tired of his
cramped cage with the familiar sights...young children, poking
their fingers through the bars at him...couples in love, with the
man putting his fingers near Specter's mouth in an attempt to show
his lady friend how brave he is by putting his hand so close to
the monkey's mouth...old men, complaining about the fact that "in
the old days, children used to respect their elders - and you
certainly didn't get monkeys looking like that"... he was sick of
it. One day, he discovered an old man, who had been scribbling
notes down from the information board outside Specter's cage and
muttering things to himself, had forgotten something. He had
dropped a shiny hat. Specter reached out for the hat - he loved
shiny things. However, it was too far from the bars for him to
reach. Desperate, he rummaged around in the straw at the back of
his cage and discovered a twig. He used the twig to nudge the
helmet towards him...there, he could reach it. Specter reached out
for it and got it in his paws. He ducked down to put it on and the
helmet reflected in his eye, the one not covered by a tuft of fur.
He looked up again, triumphantly wearing the helmet. This time,
his eye was narrow and cold. Evil malice gleamed from it.
"Finally, it is the time for the apes to rebel!" he screamed at
the top of his voice. Several passers-by turned to look at him as
he charged at the bars of his cage like a bull. The ultra-strong
metal of the helmet made the bars burst outwards.
Specter ran around the amusement park, freeing all his monkey
friends from their cells. They all ran for the exit and escaped.
"Quick! To the nearest building!" cried Specter, in between puffs
of breath.
The nearest building just happened to be the laboratory of the man
who had created such a monstrosity...The Professor.
The Professor had been working for many years in an attempt to
discover the secrets of time travel. He is now close to achieving
this goal as his Time Station is nearing completion. The
Professor, who is a kind man at heart, has agreed to let two of
his granddaughter Katie's friends be the first ever time
travellers.
The Professor was expecting a knock at the door to signal the
arrival of Spike and Buzz, the boys destined to be the first time
travellers. He was rummaging around the laboratory trying to find
his Peak Point Helmet, listening for the knock. He couldn't find
it anywhere and, just as he was about to give up hope, heard the
knock.
The Peak Point helmet was designed with one purpose -
intelligence. It increased the human IQ, but on a monkey, the
results were disastrous, as the Professor will shortly find out.
"Katie, carry on looking for me." he asked his 14 year old
granddaughter as he headed towards the door. He opened it.
"Spike, Buzz, what a pleasure to see...eh, what's up?" he asked,
half to himself. He had been expecting a couple of 10 year old
boys. Instead, he was confronted with an ape army.
"Get him!" screamed Specter.
"That's my..that's my..my hat! He's got my hat!" the Professor
cried out as several apes hurled themselves at him, binding his
arms and legs.
"Grandfather!" shrieked Katie, as more apes detached themselves
from the army and tied her up.
Specter began chuckling to himself, a deep, evil laugh.
He ran to the Time Station, still chortling and leapt into the
Station. The monkeys began following him.
Suddenly, the door banged open. Spike and Buzz were in the
doorway.
"What the..Professor! Katie!" Buzz exclaimed, as he realised the
situation. He ran over to free the Professor but -
"No, Buzz!" the Professor warned as Buzz reached down to free him.
"You'll get sucked into the vortex!"
He was right. Buzz was getting sucked in, too.
"Buzz! No!" Spike cried. He ran towards Buzz and reached out for
him in a futile attempt to free him...
"Buzz! Spike!" Katie yelled as they were both sucked into the
vortex. The last monkey shrugged and leapt in too. There was a
blinding flash of light and the vortex closed.
Spike and Buzz are alone, trapped in time as Specter attempts to
change history. Can you help them escape?
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ F.Characters. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
SPIKE -
Sex - M.
Age - 10.
Height - 135cm.
Weight - 32kg.
Spike loves hanging round the Professor's lab to see what the old
man might come up with next. When he learned that the Professor
had completed the construction of the world's first time machine,
Spike couldn't wait to see it!
THE PROFESSOR -
Sex - M.
Age - 60.
Height - 170cm.
Weight - 80kg.
Since he was a child, the Professor has loved tinkering with
gadgets. Now he's growing older he tends to be a little careless,
leaving his experiments lying around for anyone to stumble across.
He relies on his granddaughter, Katie, to make sure he doesn't get
himself - or anyone else - into trouble. Though he's worried about
Spike, he's secretly thrilled that the Time Station works!
KATIE -
Sex - F.
Age - 14.
Height - 155cm.
Weight - ?kg.
Katie lives with her grandfather and tries to keep him out of
trouble. She's very impatient and her grandfather's untidiness
annoys her, though not as much as Spike, as he is always getting
in her way, but she is still friends with him. She's brilliant
with computers and both Spike and the Professor are relying on
Katie to keep the Time Station working long enough for Spike to
make it home safely.
BUZZ/JAKE -
Sex - M.
Age - 10.
Height - 138cm.
Weight - 34kg.
Spike and Buzz have always enjoyed a little good-natured rivalry,
so it's not surprising that they both want to be the first into
the Time Station. But while Spike tries to save the world from the
monkeys, Buzz is lost in the Time Vortex...where can he be? All
will be revealed during the game.
SPECTER -
Sex - M (presumably).
Age - 4 (human years).
Height - 125cm.
Weight - 28kg.
Specter used to live at the amusement park, where he'd keep people
entertained by performing tricks and getting up to mischief. But
this all changed when he found the Peak Point Helmet. He became
hyper-intelligent - and evil! Now all he wants is to rule the
world and Spike must stop him!
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ G.Controlling Spike. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Left stick -
Controls Spike's movements. Push gently to make him tiptoe; push
it a little further to make him walk; push it all the way to make
him run.
Right stick -
Controls Spike's gadgets. You can make them move forward,
backward, left, right or in a circle.
L3 button - (push the left stick in)
Hold this down to make Spike crawl so he can sneak up on
unsuspecting monkeys.
R3 button - (push the right stick in)
Whilst crawling, press this to make him curl up. This makes it
even harder for monkeys to spot him.
T(Triangle), [], O and X -
These act as gadget buttons. You can allocate each gadget a button
and then press the button to use the gadget. See the Pause menu
section for more details.
R1/R2 buttons -
Makes Spike jump. If you press the button twice, he performs a 2-
step double-jump. You can jump to grab hold of poles and trees and
then climb up and down them using the left stick. When you jump,
you can press the L3 button to make Spike do a Hip-Drop attack.
START button -
Press this to enter the Pause menu.
SELECT button -
Press this to enter the gadget selection screen quickly.
D-pad -
Revolves the camera around Spike.
L2 button -
Press this to enter first-person mode and look around in greater
detail.
L1 button -
Press this to centre the camera behind Spike.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ H.Gadget list. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
STUN CLUB -
Gained - You have it at the start.
One of the first gadgets you'll get. Use the right stick to
control the movement of the Stun Club - it will strike in the
direction you press, or you can revolve the right stick to move
the Stun Club in a circular motion to protect yourself.
THE TIME NET -
Gained - You have it at the start.
An essential tool as you must use it to capture all the monkeys.
Like the Stun Club, you can swing the Time Net in any direction.
If you stun them first, they will be easier to catch.
THE WATER NET -
Gained - Before entering Raining Lake/Primordial Ooze.
The Water Net is slightly different to other gadgets as you cannot
assign it a button - it automatically appears when you go
underwater. You can swim around in the water, but remember to
resurface regularly for oxygen. To speed up, press the R1 button.
To dive while swimming, press L3. This will take you deeper and
deeper until you release it. Press R3 while underwater to fire a
monkey net. This helps catch monkeys underwater.
THE MONKEY RADAR -
Gained - Before entering Jungle River/Thick Jungle.
This is used to locate monkeys and find out information about
them. The radar can be turned with the right stick. The radar goes
higher in pitch when it has found a monkey and it will get louder
when you are near a monkey.
If the monkey is really close, you can press L2 to learn their
statistics.
THE SLINGSHOT -
Gained - Before entering Cryptic Relics.
The slingshot is used to destroy enemies from a safe distance.
Pull the right stick back to make Spike pull the elastic back and
move it about to guide the cross-hairs over the target and then
release it to fire. Use the L2 button to enter Target Mode, where
you can get a more accurate shot. You can also use the slingshot
to hit out-of-reach buttons and switches.
The slingshot uses 3 types of bullet;
Normal - You have an infinite amount of these bullets.
Flash - These explode on impact, causing greater damage than
normal bullets.
Guided - These have 3 rounds to one set.
Press R3 or O to select different types of bullet.
THE DASH HOOP -
Gained - Before entering Primitive Beach/Crabby Beach.
You can make this into a shield by rotating the right stick. When
it's a dash shield, you can bang into enemies and hurt them!
THE SKY FLYER -
Gained - Before entering Icicle Cave/Frosty Retreat.
The Sky Flyer enables you to jump higher than normal. Rotate the
right stick to make it fly. Keep rotating to fly over long
distances. You can also move around whilst flying.
THE RC CAR -
Gained - Before entering Urban City/City Park.
Press the R3 button or [] to call the RC car. The car is steered
by using the right stick. You can use it to defeat enemies, stun
monkeys, get through small gaps and trigger floor switches.
Note that you can use the RC car as a remote bomb! Send it to
wherever you want and then use your slingshot to shoot it from a
distance. This comes in very helpful for defeating some of the
more difficult enemies! Thanks to Troy for this.
THE MAGIC PUNCH -
Gained - After beating the game and getting the bad ending.
The Magic Punch is a fist that extends to hit enemies and smash
down doors. Several monkeys in the later stages are trapped in
glowing pods that can only be opened using this device.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ I.The Time Station. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
You return to this area after clearing a stage. The Time Station
contains many useful things. You can load/save your game, view the
Monkey Book, select a stage to enter, recap on the training and
play some cool mini-games.
I will explain each feature individually, except the mini-game
room, as it is so fun to play the games that I feel it should get
it's own section!
WARP SCREEN - Step onto the red floor switch in front of you to
enter the Warp Screen. From here, you can choose which levels you
want to enter or play on Time Attack mode. Select the stage you
wish to enter by pressing left or right on either the D-pad or the
left stick. Press X or O to enter that level, T or [] to return to
the Time Station or START to enter Time-Attack.
LOAD/SAVE - Step on the red floor switch behind you to save or
load a game. You can also view the Monkey Book, which has it's own
section in section 3.
TRAINING - You can revisit all the training scenarios here. The
training scenarios are the sections at the beginning of each level
when you get a new gadget.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ J.Keeping Spike healthy. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Spike eats cookies to stay alive and collects extra lives in the
form of T-shirts and energy chips.
Cookies are how many attacks Spike can take before he dies. 5 is
the maximum amount you can have. Each time you get hit, 1 cookie
is removed. When all 5 are gone, you die.
Lives come in the form of T-shirts. You begin with 5 and more can
be gained by collecting the T-shirts scattered around the levels
or by gaining 100 energy chips.
Energy chips are golden and triangular. Larger ones with holes in
the centre are worth 10.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ K.The Pause menu. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
When you press START, you enter the Pause menu. From here, you can
press buttons to enter various screens.
T - Gadget.
O - Status.
X - Options.
[] - Exit.
Gadgets -
You can enter this screen by the process above, or you can press
SELECT to enter this screen immediately. You can allocate a gadget
to each button and use them from there
Status -
This shows you the stage number, the stage name, the best time,
the amount of Specter coins collected and the total and also the
amount of monkeys captured and how many left.
Options -
You can toggle things to your liking here. Not much use really.
Exit -
This lets you exit the level.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ L.The monkeys. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Specter's factory has been working overtime and hundreds of Peak
Point helmets are being produced!
The monkeys gain intelligence from these helmets and the siren on
top can help you. The light flashes depending on what mood the
monkey is in and helps you to decide when to catch a monkey.
Blue light means that the monkey is calm.
Yellow light means that the monkey is alert and on it's guard.
Red light means it can see you and is panicky. Be careful when
they are in this state - they may turn aggressive!
You can also learn the monkey's personality by its pants.
Yellow pants mean that this is a normal monkey.
Light blue pants mean that this monkey is gentle.
Red pants mean that this monkey is a strong attacker.
Blue pants mean that this monkey is a very fast runner.
White pants mean that the monkey has excellent balance.
Green pants mean that the monkey has strong vision.
Black pants mean trouble. These monkeys have an attitude problem.
They usually wear shades and carry weapons.
Good luck in catching those monkeys.
Right, now it's time for why most of you clicked on the link to
this page. It's time for the walkthrough!
SECTION NUMBER 2 - THE WALKTHROUGH - PART 1 - MONKEY LOCATIONS
Section i - Section 1 layout.
This section is fairly easy to understand. I have listed the
monkey's names in alphabetical order. Alongside each one, it tells
you where to find them.
This also tells you the location of each Specter Coin. These are
in no particular order.
/---------------------------------------------------------

which in turn stops the lift, letting you get the ape at the

SECTION NUMBER 3 - THE WALKTHROUGH - PART 2 - THE MONKEY BOOK
Section i - Section 2 layout.
This is the Monkey Book section. This is set out in pretty much
the same way as the Monkey Book in the actual game, except there
obviously isn't a photo. With each one, I have included a short
description of why each monkey got it's name e.g.
Fruity.
Level 1.
Speed - 1.
Attack - 1.
Alert - 1.
Yellow.
Loves bananas.
Bananas are a type of fruit, so a monkey who adores bananas would
be described as being fruity.
This shows the statistics, the colour of their pants, the level
and the description of the monkey's character. The bit at the end
tells you how I think the description and the names are related.
Some monkeys have names that appear to have no relation to their
description, so I have left a few question marks in the
description area. If anyone knows why these monkeys are named with
these names, please e-mail me. See section 6F for information on
who has contributed to this section.
Each level is arranged in alphabetical order.
/---------------------------------------------------------

Another reference to the rocket.

considerable pain.
Mermaid

you feel tired.
Tum-Tum

Kyle Ford points out this ape as being a classic movie reference
to Ghostbusters. Ghosts, in the movie, produce slime, which they
hurl at the Ghostbusters. That's the name, but the relation
between the name and the description is that the Ghostbusters
theme tune had a line which went "I'm 'fraid of no ghosts".

SECTION NUMBER 5 - THE WALKTHROUGH - PART 4 - THE MINI-GAMES.
Section i - Section 4 introduction.
(This introduction was previously under section 1J)
The Arcade has three games to play. Each of the games also has a 2-
player mode. You can't play these games until you get the amount
of Specter coins listed.
GAME #1 - SKI KIDS RACING
Coins needed - 10.
This is pretty fun. You choose a character (Spike, Buzz, Katie,
the Professor or a monkey - each is kinda like a sheet of paper
coloured in like these characters as they are two-dimensional).
Each stick controls each ski, so if you press the right stick
forward, that character will rotate on the spot anti-clockwise.
The best characters to pick are either Buzz or the monkey as they
are both good. Whatever you do, don't pick the Professor as he is,
for want of a better word, rubbish. There are several different
courses to play on as well.
GAME #2 - SPECTER BOXING
Coins needed - 20.
The worst of the mini-games. I don't really like this (probably
because I am bad at it). You enter a boxing match with your
opponent (with both being monkeys). The idea is to emerge
victorious after a few rounds.
GAME #3 - GALAXY MONKEY
Coins needed - 40.
Yes, it needs a lot of coins, but this is the best mini-game by
far. It is similar to the Space Invaders game, except it is in 3D.
Use the left stick to control the craft and the right stick to
fire. My favourite by miles.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ A.Ski Kidz Racing }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Section A1 - Start-up.
When you begin a game, you are faced with 4 options :
START
MATCH RACE
OPTION
QUIT
Start lets you begin a single player game.
Match Race lets you play a two-player game.
Option lets you toggle with the game's settings, such as changing
the sound and the vibrations.
Quit takes you back to the Time Station.
Section A2 - Beginning a game.
Before playing a game, options are available:
Select character (see section A3)
Select course (see section A4)
Preliminary contest
Deciding race (see section A5)
Operating methods (see section A6)
Quit
The seventh, Replay, only opens when you've played a match.
The ones with "see section Ax" refer you to that section where
there is more detail. Some haven't got them as these ones are
pretty self-explanatory.
Select character lets you pick a racer.
Select course lets you pick a course.
Preliminary contest lets you have a preliminary match to decide
the places in the main race.
Deciding race lets you slug it out.
Operating methods teaches you the controls of the game.
Quit takes you back to the intro screen.
Section A3 - Selecting a character.
|Spike |Buzz |Monkey |Katie |Professor
AGE |10 |10 |3 |14 |60

Section A4 - Selecting a course.
Course 1 = Easy slope
732m
4 laps
Course 2 = Snowman's Garden
667m
4 laps
Course 3 = Snake river
1574m
3 laps
Section A5 - Deciding race.
Here we go!
This is the main race, in which you ski against a friend or with
the computer.
For strategies on racing, see the next two sections.
Section A6 - Operating methods.
1.Operating instructions.
-Move the right ski with the right stick and the left ski with the
left stick.
-Pushing the sticks forwards activates the jets. Tilting the
sticks towards each other brings the skis together.
2.Going faster with the right posture.
-With the skis together, lower your body and your speed will
increase.
3.Turn on one ski.
-To turn quickly, operate the jet on the outside ski only, while
using the brake on the inside jet.
4.Turbo charged skiing.
-If you ski with the skis together, the jet flame will sometimes
turn blue. If you keep on skiing this way, after a while the jet
flame will turn orange and the power of the jets increases.
Section A7 - Course strategies.
If anyone has got any good strategies for any of these courses,
please e-mail them to me!
The only real tips I have are:
Always keep on the inside of corners.
Sometimes it's best to slow down on corners.
Section A8 - Small cheats.
I have discovered one small cheat for this game (well, you
probably can't even call it a cheat).
When selecting a character, move the right stick around. The racer
currently highlighted will rotate around with the stick!
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ B.Specter Boxing }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Section B1 - Start-up.
When you begin a game, you are faced with 3 options:
START
OPTION
QUIT
Start takes you to the game's main menu, where you choose modes of
play and characters etc.
Option lets you toggle with the game's settings, such as changing
the sound and the vibrations.
Quit takes you back to the Time Station.
Section B2 - Beginning a game.
You can play this mini-game in three different ways:
CHAMPIONSHIP
VS MODE
TRAINING
Championship mode pits you against increasingly harder foes, with
the aim being you beating the top monkey, Ty.
Vs mode lets you slug it out with a friend.
Training has you facing a punchbag to practice moves on.
There are also options underneath. Advice is tips on beating
enemies (see section B4) and Return lets you return to the start-
up screen.
B3 - Selecting a character.
The 5 characters you can choose at the start are:
Bruno Fump Henri Marvie Hitman
There is a way to gain more (see section B6)
Section B4 - Advice.
1.Press up to punch.
Pull down first and up to punch harder.
2.Pull down to guard.
3.Move left or right to sway
4.To punch consecutively, the right timing is important.
Section B5 - Strategies.
If anyone has any good strategies for winning championship mode,
or anything else, please e-mail them to me.
One good strategy I have found is to rotate both sticks around, at
the same time, clockwise. This makes the ape you are controlling
use harder punches and he is also a moving target, making it
difficult for the foe to hit you.
Section B6 - Small cheats.
I have one minor cheat for this game:
When you beat Championship mode, the apes you have beaten will
become selectable characters. These extra apes are:
Frank King Ali Sugaz Ty Biff Glove Don Rage
Nazz Bully Duff Punch
Read on for the guide to Galaxy Monkey!
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ C.Galaxy Monkey. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Section C1 - Start-up.
When you begin a game, you are faced with 5 options:
NORMAL PLAY.
3 MINUTE TIME ATTACK.
HOW TO.
OPTION.
QUIT.
Normal Play lets you choose whether to play a 1 player or 2 player
game.
3 Minute Time Attack lets you try and get the highest score
possible in 3 minutes.
How To tells you the basic controls of the game.
Option lets you toggle with the game's settings, such as changing
the sound and the vibrations.
Quit takes you back to the Time Station.
Section C2 - Beginning a game.
To play a 1 player or not to play a 1 player game, that is the
question.
You can play a 1 player game by pressing Start whilst Normal Play
is highlighted, then Start again to have a 1 player game.
Press Start while Normal Play is highlighted, then Start on player
2's control pad to play a 2 player game.
Highlight 3 Minute Time Attack then press Start to enter a game of
bashing aliens within 3 minutes.
Section C3 - Controls.
Left stick makes you move.
Right stick makes you fire.
The circles that have a P in them are power-ups. When you only
have a 1-way firepower, then picking up a power-up increases it to
a 2-way fire. The same happens when you have a 2-way, bringing it
up to a 3-way. After that, each one got earns you 500 points.
Section C4 - Scoring.
NAME | SCORE
Bloata | 200 points.
Tentacus | 400 points
Tocus | 800 points.
Spheroids | 5024 points.
UFOs | 100 points.
Section C5 - Strategies.
Zip round the screen as fast as you can, avoiding enemies.
When a red line appears at the side of a screen (indicating an
enemy will approach from that direction), get to the other side of
the screen to get away from it.
Always, ALWAYS get the power-ups.
Try and defeat the Spheroids when they appear, as you get LOTS of
points.
Section C6 - Small cheats.
I have found a pretty effective 'cheat' for this game:
When trying to get a high-score, begin a 2-player game. With 2
players, you can get the majority of the enemies and player 2 can
watch your back.
Using this, I got double what my high-score was previously!
SECTION NUMBER 6 - THE LAST FEW THINGS.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ A.World Monkey Championships. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
Here is a list of monkeys with the highest points in several
categories.
Highest Level Award - This is a tie between Rik and Si of
Specter's Factory, as they both have a Level 7.
Fastest Runner Award - Several monkeys have achieved a rating of 5
in this category, such as Tyson of Specter Land and Donkey of
Tranquil Temple/Sushi Temple.
Most Powerful Award - Monkeys who have a 5 in this category
include Tyson of Specter Land and Billie of The Great Wall/Wabi
Sabi Wall.
Most Alert Award - Tyson, Junior and Slime are examples of alert
monkeys.
Most Awards Award - Tyson of Specter Land wins this award.
Specter's Favourite Ape Award - This goes to Creep of Jungle
River/Thick Jungle who carried on worshipping Specter, even when
Specter ignored him.
/---------------------------------------------------------
{ B.Cheats }
---------------------------------------------------------/
There is only one cheat for Ape Escape that genuinely works:
To get 99 explosive bullets, type in R2, D, L2, U, R, D, R, L.
I have discovered a few hidden things, but they're not really
cheats.
i.Leave Spike standing still for a while. He will do one of a
variety of things, such as playing with one of the gadgets or even
lying down and going to sleep!
ii.Once you gain the Monkey Radar, you can view each monkey's
statistics. Move the right stick to change the camera angle.
iii.On the Jungle River/Thick Jungle level, there are some plants
that swallow you. Once swallowed, rotate the right stick quickly.
The plant will disintegrate.
iv.The RC car can be used as a bomb. Simply place it near an ape
and hit it with the stun club. It'll explode, leaving a dazed
monkey, which can be easily captured!
v.A good way to save lives, which I find a bit stupid, is, once
you've fallen off a cliff, pause the game and select Quit to exit
the level. Yes, this'll save you a life, but you then have to trek
all the way back to where you fell off, which, if it is near the
end of a big level eg Specter Land, can be a pain!
If anyone has any more that work, e-mail them to me!

{ D.Walkthrough history. }
---------------------------------------------------------/
03/9/00
Began writing walkthrough. I got up to the beginning of the main
part of the guide.
05/9/00 to 20/9/00
Copied the statistics and location of all 204 monkeys on to paper
to type onto the guide.
20/9/00 - 24/9/00
Typed up part 1 of the walkthrough. I have left parts 2 and 3 to
do at a later date, so that part 1 can be used.
I finished section 5 and e-mailed the file to GameFAQs, asking if
it could be put on the site.
27/9/00
Discovered that GameFAQs has put my walkthrough on it's site. I
received an e-mail from a representative of GameAdvice and
VideoGame Strategies who wanted to also have it on the sites. I
let him. Follow his example. If you want the walkthrough, ask me.
27/9/00 - 2/10/00
Did Section 2 - The Monkey Book. E-mailed new, updated walkthrough
to GameFAQs and GameAdvice/VideoGame Strategies.
08/10/00
Checked my e-mails and discovered an e-mail from Kyle Ford
regarding the Monkey Book (see 6F) and also one from King
Broccoli, giving me permission to use his tactics in the Time
Attack levels.
09/10/00
Wrote up the entire Section 4.
11/10/00
Received an e-mail from a representative of Absolute PlayStation,
asking for the guide, which means you can now locate this guide at

16/10/00
Received an e-mail from Severin, helping me with more monkey names
(see 6F). Keep those names rollin' in!
21/10/00
Sent the new updated guide to all the usual sites. After checking
the GameFAQs chatrooms, I discovered some rumours about a sequel
to this game! I then went to several search engines and searched
for information, but I couldn't find any, anywhere. If anyone
knows anything about Ape Escape 2, please, PLEASE e-mail me.
23/10/00
Received an e-mail from a representative of CheatStop, asking to
use the guide, which means that this walkthrough can now be found
at www.cheatstop.com
29/10/00
Had some ideas for more walkthrough sections, such as a guide on
defeating all the monsters (including bosses), a guide on the
game's plot and a more detailed guide to each of the mini-games.
Out of those three, I think that the first and last will be the
best, so watch this space for results.
30/10/00 - 4/11/00
Did a detailed guide to each mini-game under section 5.
16/11/00
Received an e-mail from Freshly Baked Games asking for permission
to use this guide on their site, which I granted. This means the
guide can be found at www.fbgames.com
17/11/00
Sent off new walkthrough to all the sites under Version 1.7
11/12/00
Wrote up the details of my newest guide (Spyro 3) under section
6G.
14/12/00
Received an e-mail from a guy called Ste, helping me with a load
of monkey names, which I used.
Once they were all typed up, the guide was sent off under version
1.8 to the usual sites.
16/12/00
Received an e-mail from Neoseeker, meaning the guide can now be
found there.
18/12/00

Renamed guide version 2.6
04/02/02
Added some more monkey definitions.
04/04/02
Received an email from Rik Skews (the producer of the game!)
saying how good the guide is. He has also helped me with a few
more of the more obscure names. He also revealed that the reason
why the monkey descriptions are so short is due to the fact that
"developers only had 20 characters to play with including spaces,
etc (boring reasons, but mainly to do with translation) so it was
a challenge to come up with that many descriptions that were
intriguing with so few words."
Renamed guide version 2.7

20/04/02

Have just completed Ape Escape 2 - a worthy successor to this
game!
Made small amendment to the Contents.

as several people have been having problems getting the monkey in
the control room there.
