Ape Escape 3 (UK) - The Secret Monkeys

You thought my Ape Escape 3 run ended last night, didn't you? :p
Well, I couldn't leave it without going through the details on getting the secret monkeys hidden away in the game. There are eight of them in the PAL version to my knowledge, all of them being bought as hint pages in the Book Shop. They are also not required to access Specter for a second time - just a fun thing to put on the top.
The hint pages come with a codeword for you to put in a name entry in the title screen - hold down L1, L2, R1 and R2 to access it and put it in.
And yes, Americans, this DOES include Ape Ratchet :D

OMG MY CHILDHOOOOOD

[@szummorza]

Never doubt about ape escape fans ;)

[@gaminggoof1542]

Hello my fellow fans

[@markanthonydubur3211]

The Pipotrons! From Ape Escape: Pumped and Primed! Wow, the good old days.

[@gaminggoof1542]

I really liked that game, didn't think much of party games before

[@kanggoo57]

Damn i saw this video a decade ago. i was like 13 back then. i still occasionally play ape escape 3, and its still one of my top 5 games of all time :)

[@freqrexy]

Eh? I didn't think it was a "rip-off". Both R&C and Ape Escape were developed by Sony first-party developers (R&C - Insomniac, and AE - Sony Japan's in-house development team). Not to mention that Ratchet is EXTREMELY popular in Japan, so I call it a great homage :D

[@Maestro19992]

3:17 can u be in the next game? LOL theres still no next game

[@gaminggoof1542]

:( ran out of ideas

[@alexdelacruz1337]

Saru saru big misión...

[@Castcoder]

Japanese Ratchet??? (Green-er pants and big Eye brows). The Pipotron were created by Helga's/Haruka's (another character the UK shouldn't know) father: a friend of the professor. He also created the Pipotron J (characters only in Japan). In Pumped and Primed, Helga's intermission cutscenes show that her father has been missing. In the Anime, Helga says she lived alone for years without her father, and her mother is still unknown. I guess there's a lot for me to cover in my P&P playthrough...

[@freqrexy]

Yeah, since we never got Pumped and Primed I never really knew what the Pipotrons looked like and reacted like until looking them up on Wikipedia. I'm pretty much curious to know what they were like. (but if only I wasn't going on vacation tomorrow...!)

[@MahoganyVinceArchive]

:3 Thanks for uploading this, i've been wanting to see what Ape Ratchet looks like for quite a while, but i wasn't able to see for myself (Seeing as i live in america, and Ape Ratchet is unfortunately only for Europe and Japan) and i haven't seen anyone else upload a video about it.

[@DarknoorX]

I never thought British accent will ever seem horrible on something until I heard this version of the game...

[@danielcastaneda1530]

English accent because the country is England.

[@freqrexy]

The pipotrons actually dance? I just assumed because of their behaviour that they're that much harder to stun than the usual, especially with the Genie Charmer. Thanks for the tip :D

[@freqrexy]

Yeah, I type that annotation wrong ^^; Don't worry, it's been fixed. I'm sure the main series won't go - sure this would be the third entry in the series, but as long as there's still a fanbase, I'm sure it would keep going. Thanks for the comment :)

[@freqrexy]

@norlie09 Your copy might be the USA version, which may have different cheats to unlock stuff. I don't know the American codes myself if that's the case.

[@OmegaExalted]

Goddamnit, UK gets all the good stuff. Every single time.

[@szummorza]

Nah, Europe still don't have Ape Escape Pumped and Primed. I always wanted sooo much to play this game. But I would need a copy and american PS2...

[@ilikegirls8626]

+szummorza look on eBay for both of those m8 if u want 2 play the whole trilogy and ps2 that's where u find it thank me later

[@skyartisan8873]

same, I really wanted to play it

[@ShakinJamacian]

Interesting that they featured the cameo with Ratchet. You'd assume that Sony would be more than willing to add Ape Escape to something like Playstation Move Heroes, but there are far more crossovers/cameos between J&D/R&C/Sly than the homages shared between the Ape Escape games and two or so R&C games. It's more of a homage than anything else. And besides, the Ape Escape games feel drastically different than the other titles I've mention. It'd be a strange combination.

[@gaminggoof1542]

Tell that to MGS

[@nightmaremario8083]

Consejo:la transformación del genio para mas deprisa

[@iNikiii]

Yes, but without saving I believe.

[@ali0504561]

[@Emxguy99]

[@Brand-pn5yz]

Bigaru... and gakeru oh please...

[@GamemasterDM]

@freqrexy 1. Oh yeah. 2. Yeah, i'll admit. 3.Makes sense.

[@Thomaster9999]

Thank you, great video! :D

[@freqrexy]

@madcrankie I love using the ninja for big swarms, but let me say it - I suck at using Gotchaman for actually catching the monkeys o_O

[@gaminggoof1542]

There seems to be a of minor differences in this game. Like it's not called my last wedding in my american version. I won't ask for all but what would you say the most major differences are

[@CrashCrazE13]

Thank you for uploading this video :)

[@CrashCrazE13]

It sucks that U.K. didn't get Pumped & Primed. I think you guys need to play it. It is fun to fight Dark Jake...and every other boss. But it's not awesome and action-filled like AEMM. I THOUGHT that the U.K. was supposed to get that, but apparently it didn't happen.

[@kanggoo57]

03:25 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCC!!!!

[@StarForceBelmont321]

Freqrexy can you Answer some questions I have? I'm in an American so these codes work with both versions? Are these codes the ONLY way to obtain these apes? Do I get these codes in game or do I NEED to look them up?

[@bevwooff9831]

In America, some of the codes have been localised differently. Shimmy/Bigaru, Dark Master/Black Guru, the Yellow Pipotron and SAL-1000 use the same passwords as used in the video, but the other four are different. The blue and red pipotrons are unlocked with “coolblue” and “redmon” respectively, and Spork/Gakeru uses “krops”. Ratchet is absent and has another SAL monkey in its place (SAL3000 is the code). Don’t quote me on the American codes though, I used GameFAQs to look them up xD

[@MrProteeus]

what happens if you get em all

[@GamemasterDM]

They have different names and sayings!

[@ThasaVids]

OMG thank you for this! But how did you know those secret passwords??

[@haley7138]

you buy them in hint books at the bookstore.

[@ThasaVids]

I can't find it here, but thanks! :D

[@freqrexy]

@GamemasterDM Firstly, ONE COMMENT CAN FIT EVERYTHING YOU JUST TYPED. >_> And secondly, because the translators in Europe are a lot smarter than the American ones, so admit that :3 (that and apparently they dubbed it first while America was still reluctant, so there we go.)

[@SuperMeachy]

Spork

[@THEASHWATER06]

OH C'MON WHERE'S GAKERUS STUN CLUB AND NET?????

[@filipeflower]
