----------------------
1)Introduction & Story
----------------------

You play a monkey working for Specter. 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.
For example if missing one in the Purple Category, one must play Specter's
year to obtain them.
