**(Aim of the Game)**
The Aim of the Game is to guide your monkey into the Goal by tilting the floor,
and as quickly as possible. If you fall off the stage, you lose a monkey. lose
all 3 monkeys, and you will see a Game Over/Continue screen.
**(Bananas)**
Bananas are scattered throughout the many levels. Roll over them to collect
them. Collecting 50 without seeing a Game Over screen will give you an extra
monkey. If you collect all the bananas in a stage, and clear the stage, you
will get a perfect.
**(Play Points)**
Every time you play the main game, you will earn play points. When 2500 of
these are collected, you can unlock a Mini Game. When all Mini-games are
unlocked, more play points will give you more continues.
&&&&&£££-[Guide]-£££&&&&&
******(Beginner)******
----[Beginner Floor 1]----
This level is the easiest level in the game. Simply press forward to roll into
the goal. If you're feeling more adventurous, you can collect the 3 bananas for
a perfect.
----[Beginner Floor 2]----
Roll your monkey to the left or right, and guide him safely to the exit,
avoidng the huge gap.
*ALTERNATIVE GOAL*
Right after starting, go back and DROP STRAIGHT OFF THE EDGE SLOWLY. You should
land on a piece of land. Turn around and go into the Goal to skip to stage 5.
----[Beginner Floor 3]----
Guide your monkey around the edges and into the goal. Take this one slower, as
the path is narrower. Again, if you wish, you can go back to collect all the
bananas.
----[Beginner Floor 4]----
This level requires some fast tapping of the Directional Pad. Roll onto the
platform and be very careful not to fall off, try to stay in the middle.
----[Beginner Floor 5]----
BONUS! Collect all the Bananas. Roll straight fowards through them all, stop
and get the bunch, then roll back and get the rest. It's easy to do within the
allotted time limit.
----[Beginner Floor 6]----
Take this one slow. Carefully roll down each slope, tapping back on the pad to
keep your speed down. If you want to clear this faster, it is possible just to
go right and drop down off the edge onto the lower ledge. You ccan get all the
bananas on this stage easily, they are at the end of each slope.
----[Beginner Floor 7]----
Make your way up each of the ramps, being careful not to fall. Do not use 5, as
you will probably steam off the edge.
----[Beginner Floor 8]----
This level may require you to try a few times. The best way to do this, is to
roll slowly onto the ledge that floats towards you. When they all regroup, ram
your way forward, and try to stop dead on the last ledge opposite to where you
started. Keep tapping the pad to keep yourself on the tiny ledge, and get
yourself through the goal.
----[Beginner Floor 9]----
Get to the red arrow. Roll directly from the tip, and pull back a bit after you
go over the ramp. You can get the bananas easily here, too.
----[Beginner Floor 10]----
Not as hard as it looks! Carefully roll down the first path, then continue down
the second. Slowly go down the steps, and go very cautiously over the thinner
paths. From here, go left, and you should be right next to the goal. It is
possible to skip the huge circular path by lining yourself up with the goal,
and rolling off towards it.
******(Advanced)******
----[Advanced Floor 1]----
Roll over the ridge and go through the goal. The bananas are easy to get, again.
----[Advanced Floor 2]----
Two bananas are to your left and righ at the start. Roll over the bumps, and
navigate the blocks. Go round the circle at the same speed as the bumpers, then
roll to the exit.
----[Advanced Floor 3]----
Roll onto the first moving platform. When the second passes, quickly roll onto
it. I will touch the opposite side and then slide back right very quickly, so
be sure to get the hell off. It is harder to get all the bananas on here, as
they are in the corners of the moving platforms, and it is easy to slide off.
----[Advanced Floor 4]----
Go careful with this one. Make fine tilting adjustments to make your way to the
end, try and stay in the middle.
----[Advanced Floor 5]----
Roll forwards when the platform lowers. You can roll onto it when it raises, if
you wish, and hold 5.
**ALTERNATIVE GOAL**
Roll straight backwards after you start, make sure you drop STRAIGHT DOWN.
----[Advanced Floor 6]----
Simple be careful not to fall. From the start you can skip a turn by dropping
left.
----[Advanced Floor 7]----
Simply roll down slowly, and move left or right to avoid the blocks and collect
the bananas.
----[Advanced Floor 8]----
BONUS! Collect all the bananas on the raised platform. Tilt harder to make your
way up the sides.
----[Advanced Floor 9]----
This may look hard, but it is very easy. Simply roll between the punching
gloves towards the end. It will take quite a while to collect all the bananas
from between the gloves.
----[Advanced Floor 10]----
This took me a while. TAKE IT SLOWLY. Roll onto the first, as it starts to
lower, roll onto the next, and so on.
----[Advanced Floor 11]----
Roll your way down the first ramp, wait for the platform, then continue. Roll
over the ramp to land on the final platform. At the start, you can drop right
to skip the moving platform part.
----[Advanced Floor 12]----
Roll around the edge. To get the bananas, roll down, and tilt sharply back up
with 5.
----[Advanced Floor 13]----
This one takes a while. Roll down and get the bananas, then stop. Roll towards
the curve, and hold left/up as you get on it. Alternate between tilting left
and up to continue your way around. Keep trying, you will get it eventually.
----[Advanced Floor 14]----
Roll over all the hills. Roll faster over the last one, as the goal is further
away from the end of the hill. This may take a couple of goes to perfect.
----[Advanced Floor 15]----
Roll forward stage by stage. Roll past the first spike, wait for the lot to
slide right, roll again, wait for it to slide left, roll on, etc.
******(Expert)******
----[Expert Floor 1]----
Roll forwards, and left. Go slow over the narrower platform.
**ALTERNATIVE GOAL**
Roll right. The platform is much narrower, and slopes up. Line yourself up so
you can just jam forwards up the ramp. It is possible. (SKIP TO FLOOR 5)
----[Expert Floor 2]----
Take the left way. When it leans down, get on the tilting platform, and roll
into the goal.
----[Expert Floor 3]----
This is VERY HARD. Be very quick, use 5 where possible. Roll over the bumps,
straight onto the moving platforms and over, wait for the rasing one, get on,
speed over the yellow ridges, 5 up the ramp. Be careful and slow with the rest.
You need about 30 seconds left on the clock when you get on the narrow path bit.
----[Expert Floor 4]----
This is easy. Simple stay on a rotating platform, and roll over to the next
when two connect.
----[Expert Floor 5]----
Drop straight right. Roll to the corner of a square and straight onto another,
in the direction of the goal. Looks hard, but is ridiculously easy.
----[Expert Floor 6]----
Roll forwards over the platform. Hold right to roll back up.
----[Expert Floor 7]----
BONUS! Get each banana, but watch for the bumpers. When you collect the banana
they're spinning around, they will disappear.
----[Expert Floor 8]----
This looks stupidly hard, but it's quite the opposite. The hardest part is
getting on the logo. Fall off the ledge and land on the S. Roll over the E and
the G and go up the A to the goal.
Expert Floor 9]----
Hold forward. It really is that easy. You will fall into the first dip, bounce
up, fall down again, bounce up, again and again, until you fall through the
goal.
----[Expert Floor 10]----
Drop down in the direction each arrow points. It is possible to skip loads by
dropping in various other directions.
----[Expert Floor 11]----
This had me stumped for a couple of days. Hold 5 and jam forward. As soon as
you make contact with the opposite platform, let go of 5, and you should shoot
straight through the goal.
----[Expert Floor 12]----
Hold 5 to go over the first 2 sliders, and roll normally left over the last one.
----[Expert Floor 13]----
Roll onto the first platform. when it raises, roll over the high ledge, and
fall onto the next. Do this again, until the final one raises you to the goal.
----[Expert Floor 14]----
Now this is hard. Roll quickly onto the swinging panel when it nears. Quickly
roll over the join when the next swings close. The last one is the hardest,
there is only a tiny join to roll over. Keep trying.
----[Expert Floor 15]----
BONUS! Roll over the ramp, and get the bananas. Hold 5 to speed past them, then
slow down to get them on the long stretch.
----[Expert Floor 16]----
Roll to the centre. Turn left, Hold 5, and roll up the huge incline. Roll back
down, and make sure your Monkey ISN'T in the middle, or you will hit the goal.
Careful not to shoot right off! When you roll back down and up, guide your
monkey into the goal as he rolls back down.
----[Expert Floor 17]----
Quickly roll to the end, and roll onto the descending platform. When it raises,
roll off to land on the floating one. When the next arrives, roll onto it, and
at the top of it's incline, hold forwards to jet through the goal.
----[Expert Floor 18]----
This looks very hard. Wait until the turning stripes go green and grey again
(and the gap is very thin), then hold 5 and JAM forwards. I haven't ever died
on this one.
----[Expert Floor 19]----
This is an arse. Try and get between the bumpers that surround the goal. This
took my a fair while, all I can say is practise loads in practise mode.
----[Expert Floor 20]----
I'm sorry, I cannot give a very effective guide for this level, and I'll tell
you why. On my third try, just after 'Ready' appeared on the screen, the
announcer shouted 'GOAL!', and confetti appeared around me. This isn't a joke!
Anyhow, wait until the square fold back towards you, and roll onto the first
flat platform. Keep rolling from platform to platform as it unfolds again.
&&&&&£££-[Mini Games]-£££&&&&&
******(Monkey Race)******
In this game you have to race other monkey's around a track. The black and
yellow pads are speed boosts, be sure to hit them. Powerups are available. When
you collect one, press 5 to use it:
Star and Lightning bolt - Speed Boost
Bomb - Shoot this at other racers.
******(Monkey Fight)******
In this, you must use your oversized boxing glove to punch other Monkeys out of
the arena. Hit them with 5. Points are gained by hitting other monkeys out, and
by falling out yourself. Smash boxes to gain Powerups, and press 5 to use them:
Big- Make your glove bigger
Long- make your reach longer
Turn- Hold 5 to spin your glove around.
******(Monkey Target)******
Here, you control a Monkey with an amazing flying ball! Roll down the ramp,
press 5 while in the air, and glide over a large square area. Press 5 to close
your wings and try and land on a high scoring platform! The wind may be a help
or a hindrance!
