![]() And that is why, after four long years we (you, me, and little Timmy down the block) finally get to experience the game that Shigeru Miyamoto, Donkey Kong creator himself, would be proud of. Luckily, Ubi Soft, prepared to put their reputation on the line in the name of simian hijinx had the foresight to localize Ape Escape 2 for the western market. Then, in the middle of 2002 a true sequel to Ape Escape was unleashed in Japan, but Sony Japan, unconvinced the American market was ready for its monkey-themed gameplay antics, again decided to keep the title in the family, so to speak. While Pipo Saru 2001 was also met with much critical acclaim it still never saw the light of day in North America. Amazingly, despite its somewhat underwhelming sales performance a follow-up to the game was made by the name of Pipo Saru 2001, this time around the goal of the game wasn’t to capture monkeys with a net by to use a vacuum device to suck their pants off. Sadly, Ape Escape did not end up being the multi-million unit seller that it should have been, perhaps because the game wasn’t marketed for the American market. Like Robotron 2084 before it, Ape Escape’s control scheme relied heavily on using two control sticks in tandem one for moving your character around and the other for controlling your character’s monkey-catching net and other assorted gadgets. That game was Ape Escape, and its claim to fame dual-stick gameplay. But no monkey-related game released in the last 15 years can come close to the sheer originality and intuitiveness of a little game released by Sony for the PSone in 1999. Congo Bongo, Toki, Escape from Monkey Island, Samba De Amigo, Super Monkey Ball – the list goes on and on. ![]() ![]() He's later freed by Pink Monkey and must be fought and captured again.Ever since that fateful day in 1981 when a small then-struggling coin-op start-up company by the name of Nintendo unleashed Donkey Kong, a simple puzzle game featuring an enormous monkey and a “jumping man,” on an unsuspecting American public and single-handedly breathed new life into a nearly-dead videogame industry, simians the world over have enjoyed great success in the interactive digital realm. If successfully dodged, Red Monkey will be dazed and is open to a free hit. The first three are dual normal attacks with the last resulting in a spinning move. His signature move " This place will be your grave!" is a 4-combo attack. By quickly rotating both analogs, the daze-time is shortened. When making contact, the player will be stunned temporarily and is vulnerable to attacks. Watch out for his flatulence, especially the seekers that home onto the player. Afterwards, he climbs to the third level where he is fought on a narrow passage with rotating blades on either side. After taking enough damage, he climbs up to the second level, in which the player has to constantly hit switches to keep the room's windows open to see anything. His first phase is straightforward, as he uses his usual techniques to attack the player. He starts off by telling Kei and Yumi that his Kung Fu is much greater than their own and is fought immediately when the player enters the large tower. In Ape Escape 3, Monkey Red takes on a Chinese monk theme and is aided by twin clubs and an upset stomach to fight with. Red and Pink also appear as Monkey Summons. Red Monkey makes a cameo appearance in Pumped & Primed as a fan, along with the rest of The Freaky Monkey Five. Later on Jimmy encounters Monkey Red in a prehistoric forest full of dinosaurs and fights him in a boxing ring, after his defeat and capture Jimmy reunites with Pipotchi afterwards. In Ape Escape 2, Monkey Red set up a coup to steal Pipotchi from Jimmy, with a little help from White Monkey. His physique allows him to easily strike at an opponent, and he has plenty of moves ranging from martial arts to wrestling and boxing. He is listed as the strongest of the Freaky Monkey Five in terms of raw physical strength. He is also proficient in many types of fighting, and can use flatulence to stun his foes. Monkey Red's powers include super strength. In Saru Get You ~On Air~ 2nd and Ape Escape: SaruSaru Big Mission, he is seen wearing a jetpack, goggles and a red, very short dress with ripped sleeves. ![]() In Ape Escape Academy, he is the main teacher for the monkeys. He debuts in Ape Escape 2, and reappears in Ape Escape 3. Monkey Red, known in Japan as Ukki Red ( ウッキーレッド) is the leader of The Freaky Monkey Five.
