You begin in the Junior year at the ape academy and must work your way up to senior year until graduation. When creating a new file you can name your monkey and choose from 7 different looks. Yellow Pants=Regular monkey Red Pants=Boxing monkey Grey Pants= Shades monkey White Pants= Crazy Shades monkey Green Pants= Night Vision monkey Blue Pants= Snorkel monkey Sky Blue Pants= Nervous monkey ------------ 2)Characters ------------ Your Monkey-The one you named and customized in the beginning. Ukki Red- Leads the 1st Junior Yr. He has a bodybuilder appearance and acts almost as a drill sergeant. His minigames are the simplest and a good way to earn figurines. Need 1 row to pass. Ukki Blue-2nd Junior Yr. teacher. A young energetic monkey in blue who claims speed is his game. His games are little bit tougher but still quite easy. Need 1 row to pass. Ukki Yellow- By far the weirdest teacher, he teaches the 1st Senior Yr. One of the three Pipotrons may appear in a minigame. If you lose this Mini Game, then you lose all together. Be careful on these! Need 1 row to pass. Ukki White-2nd Senior Yr. teacher. He is an old intelligent teacher that wears Night Vision goggles. His games are a harder then the others and you need 2 rows to pass. Ukki Pink-The only girl teacher in charge of 3rd Senior Yr. She has 2 sides to her. The cute loving side and when you mess up the crazy angry side. Her games are by far the toughest yet and may take a few tries to beat. Need 3 rows to pass. Specter-4th Senior Year teacher. His games are the toughest. Must be commended by the other 5 teachers to challenge him. -------- Gameplay -------- You begin with 2 bootcamp like minigames and are introduced to your first teacher. Each teacher has 9 games(random) and you must win a certain set of rows. The 9 games are set up like tic-tac-toe. Each game you win nets you a circle, a loss gives you a X. Each teacher also hides 3 coins in the random 9 panels. If you win these specific games and also meet the teacher requirement, you get to play thier "Special" game. Winning will unlock it in Game Collection Mode. Must beat all these to play Specter! ------------ 3)Mini Games ------------ There are a total of 47 Mini Games and are broken up into 4 catagories. These inclues Mind, Tech, Body, and Special. ====== a)Mind ====== Monkey Dodge-Simply run around and dodge the ball. Don't worry about falling in the lava. Ask Darwin 1,2,3,4,Final- You will be answered a series of questions through out this game. The trivia is not too hard and in Academy mode you are allowed to miss a few. The higher the level of Ask Darwin is how hard the questions will be. Banana Guardian-You begin in the middle and must defend your banana from the incoming monkeys. Use your slingshot to shoot the monkeys and keep moving around the parameter. Banana boomerangs may pop up and can be used on the close up monkeys. Odd ones out- Look at the sequence of symbols that the first monkey gives you. Then try and spot the mistakes in the other monkey's writings. Use [X] to slap them. Dances with monkeys(Oklahoma Mixer,Korobushka, One week)- A music game in which you must simply time the correct button while it aligns up with the circle. Enter the Monkey: Man-Pay close attention to the first monkey! He will try to hide among the rest. Throw your shuriken with X when you have spotted him. He will use different techniques(windwalker, doppleganger,xxxxxxxxx). Monkey Watching- Several Monkey will run across the screen. For each one you see hit the [X] button to count them. Be careful of backtracking monkeys, as they will trick you and appear almost as a new one but not. Monkey Drill: Part 1,2,3,4,Final- Similar to the Darwin one but with numbers. If you are having trouble try to remember the equation or write it down. You can then pause the screen, solve the answer, then input your answer. ====== b)Tech ====== Mon Quixote- Arrows will fly at you from various directions. Use your shield to try and deflect them. In Academy mode you can be hit a few times, so don't fret! Monkey Juggler-You must juggle the balls thrown at you. Use the X button to pass it from your left to right. Use left button to pass to your right. Keeping in beat helps sometimes. A Rose, Monsieur?- A lot of monkey will walk/run across the screen through out the day till night. Hold [X] and point in the direction of a monkey and wait untill he takes it. Some appear stubborn or must be closer. Monkey Matador-Use your cape to obtain Oles! Pressing [X] rapidly causes the bull to run faster to the flag. Be careful of two bulls in one lane! Super Skewer- Point the sword so that it stabs the items being thrown. You must skewer the items in order that the directions tell you. Strawberries can be tough to skewer! Stall Sniper- Shoot with [X] and rack up the points. A good idea is to hit the top ones and always try to hit the monkeys with guns as they will give you ammo. Bombabooner- Align your plate with the bombs and drop them off with [X] when designated to do so. Watch out for the bomb's blast radius if it lands! Monkey Bowling- Line up the bowling ball with the monkey pins and use the power and align bar with [X] to try and get a strike. Monkey Hockey- Air hockey with monkeys!! try to score but also defend your own goal. Use X for a power shot. RoShamBo-This is like paper,rock, scissor's. 3 hits is all it takes to defeat your opponent. If you fire too much you might be vulnerable. ====== c)Body ====== Ape the Ape!-A simple game where you learn the controls. Simply press what the teacher says. Morning Jog-Like the Music dance game. Press the key when aligned with the circle. Hammer Throw-Rotate the analog/d-pad in a circle motion and press [X] to launch. Be sure to launch before you cross the line, or it will be a foul. ???(havn't unlocked this one yet) 1.00 Meter Dash-Wait for the screen to say "Go!" and press [X]. Timing is everything. Enter the Monkey:Heaven-Press [X] to swing across the ropes. Swinging gives you momentum to swing farther. Enter the Monkey:Earth- Press [X] to jump off the walls. Watch out for falling objects and hide in the crevices when the walls start to close. Hitting X at a good rythm will result in quick and higher jumps. You can also climb up and down with the d-pad if needed. Bridgeway to Bananas-This one can be tricky. You need to keep a good balance while moving forward. I find it easy if you keep them monkeys angled at a 45 degree angle to the right(yellow sirens). Karate Chimpster-You must knock your opponent off the cliff using punches(O) and kicks(X). You can also block high(Up) and low(down). Both you and your opponent can be dazed if right or too much. Simian Suplex-Move around the ring with the d-pad and bounce off the boxing ropes. You must hit your opponent with your left hook. Geronimo!-Catch the parachutes and align yourself with the falling monkeys to save them. You can slow yourslef up or down which should help a lot. Also the character can only hold 9 parachutes at a time. Monkey Soccer-You control the goaly in this one and must block/score the ball. When your monkey has possession of the ball, you can't move but must angle and power up the ball with [X] to shoot a goal. Try to aim for the Corner. ========= d)Special ========= Monkey Dice-2 dices will be thrown randomly and the highest/lowest number depends on wether you attack or defend. Higher=attack, Lower=Defend. Both Monkeys have 3 health. Gran Turismonkey-Wash the car by rapidly pressing [X] and move to a different spot with [O]. You win the game when you reach 100%. Chef Chimpy-Ape Escape's version of Diner Dash =p. Grab the bananas with [X] and cook them to order. Banana soup=Press [X] rapidly Banana Stir Fry=Rock Up and Down on the D-pad Roasted Banana=Move the d-pad/analog stick in a circular motion. Banana Shake=Press and hold [X] untill done. Raw Banana=Simply hand them the banana. Every Monkey's GOLF-Your monkey has 5 balls to try and achieve the goal. The holes to obtain points vary from 1,2,3,4,5,10. Use the d-pad for direction and press [X] for desginated power when so. --------- 4)Figurines --------- There are 300 total figurines in total plus the rares. Each fall into different color categories and vary by rareness. If one is looking for a particular missing figure they can match the color with the year/teacher.
