Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed Rewards Faq By Taylor Ackerson (Satandrummer666) **WARNING** This FAQ has spoilers in the form of boss, level, and item names. I would avoid these if I could, but it would be difficult to do so without actually specifying which level it is. Level names cannot be avoided, but not much is spoiled there, and item names... If you didn't want them spoiled, why did you come here? In the ToC, I will list bosses as "Boss A" or "Boss B" etc., followed by the time you fight them. For example: Boss A 1 I know this is a somewhat awkward format, but I really hate spoilers. Whenever you go to the actual place in the guide which has the boss, it will be listed by its full name. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes. LAS and RAS are Left/Right Analog Sticks, respectively. *Note: I now have everything with everyone. The next update I do (whenever I get around to it) will probably be character-specific boss strategies. Of course, that will take a good bit of time, so don't get too excited.

[MS1] Legal Crap [LC1] Credits [CR0] Outro [BY1] Intro [IN1] Hello, and welcome to the Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed Rewards FAQ. In this FAQ, I plan to cover mostly what each character gets as rewards from the many activities there are to accomplish. This is my first FAQ, and I'd be surprised if some errors were not found. If anyone has any comments, suggestions, queries, or the like, please feel free to contact me at satandrummer@hotmail.com. Please include something like "AE: P&P" or "Ape Escape" in the e-mail's title, so that I do not consider it spam. If you want me to specifically go through a level that you cannot seem to beat with a specific character, just include it in the message body, and I'll do my best to get that character through the level. If I do, I'll reply with what reward the character got, and any tips I happened to find. Also, if you find any errors in this guide, or any data I do not have, please send it in. If it is accurate, I'll post it. If you do this, please tell me whether you how you wish to be credited, if you want. Otherwise, I'll just list you as "Anonymous". Please note that I am currently a high school student, and do have outside activities. Some letters, if they have more trying requests, may take longer than others. Game Basics [GB1] This game is commonly classified as a party game. This is fairly just, as it is composed of mini-game style events, ranging from fighting to racing to collecting. The Ape Escape series, aside from spin-offs such as this, is about rampant apes who have managed to escape (hence the name) and are now causing havoc around the world. This one follows a very different story. To avoid spoilers, I won't say too much, but the main difference between P&P and the main series is that the humans are not fully against the monkeys. This is because you are all in a tournament of skill, in Virtual World. This world allows combatants to fight each other and not truly experience pain, but still have parameters such as vitality and stamina against them, as they fight towards the top. The gameplay is very similar to the regular Ape Escape games, using both of the control sticks avidly and equally. In fact, most of the controls for the gadgets are exactly the same. If you haven't ever played an AE game before, don't worry, as it has in-game instructions on their application. Also, it's a fairly easy game (for the most part), and good practice can make you an ace at any of the events. Gadgets [GA1] Gadgets are the equipment of each character. Without these, you'd be screwed, so be thankful for them. These descriptions are direct from the instruction booklet and game itself. Stunclubs A gadget used to hit something. You can attack nearby enemies with it. Dragonfly A gadget that lets you fly high. It's very useful in Course tournaments! Slingshot A gadget that sends a bullet flying. Target and shoot an opponent who's far away! Dash Hoop A gadget that helps you run fast. You can hurl yourself with this gadget. RC Car A radio-controlled gadget. It can pick up items and coins, make explosion attacks, and more! Boat A gadget you use to move on the surface of the water in specific levels. Its performance level varies on which character is using it. WaterMech A gadget that lets you swim freely in the water in specific levels. It can fire missiles. The performance level varies depending on which character is using it. Tank A powerful war vehicle you can use only in specific levels. Its performance varies on which character is using it. Characters [CH1] This section lists the starter equipment of each character, and a brief opinion from myself of the character. The Special Attacks/Techniques are from the instruction book. Special Attacks are used in the multi-gadget battles by pressing the button for both gadgets, which produces the attack. These require your Special Bar, filled by collection those blue orb things and attacking. Gadgets must be adjacent to each other to use their effect. Spike Author's Note: He's the general average character. Jack of all trades, master of none. I haven't really played that much with him, so I have no major opinion. Equipment: Stunclub Dragonfly Slingshot Dash Hoop RC Car Tank WaterMech Boat Special Techniques: After doing a Spin Attack with your Stunclub, tilt the RAS in whatever desired direction to do a Somersault attack. Special Attacks: Dimension Break(Stunclub+Slingshot): Swing the Stunclub down hard. Hurricane Crush(Stunclub+Dragonfly): You do a spin slash, and spin up. Sonic Revolution(Stunclub+Dash Hoop): Unleash a high-speed spin slash against opponents around you. Thunder Crack (Stunclub+RC Car): Stunclubs strike lightning. Natalie Author's Note: I absolutely love her Stunclub. Her Spin Attack can go on continually unless she is damaged, and has phenomenal range. Once you get her upgrades for it, she will obliterate. Equipment: Mech Rod Big Fly Racket Turbo Rod Mech Puppet Fly Tank Dive Board Mech Canoe Special Techniques: Precise timing with the Stunclub will yield a strong threefold combo. (Um... Duh? Doesn't that happen with everyone? Her Spin Attack can go on without pause, that's the real one.) Special Attacks: Flash Beam(Slingshot+Stunclub): Make everyone around you faint. Doesn't do damage. Ground Shock Beam(Slingshot+Dragonfly): Fly in the air and throw bombs. Dash Hoop Overboost(Slingshot+Dash Hoop): Attack everyone around you with a high-powered spin attack with the Stunclub. Bear Bomb(Slingshot+RC Car): Fire bear-shaped bombs. Professor Author's Note: Ugh. Professor is my least favorite character. The only one who cannot double-jump, his Dragonfly makes up for it... But then, can you get used to it long enough to play with him? His Special Attacks are pathetic, requiring the most useless gadget, and most of them aren't really worth it anyway. I'd swap the RC Car for any gadget you don't use a lot and get the Cancel Limiter command in Course tournaments, as it's fairly useful. Otherwise, it may be in your best interests to try for a good summon monkey early. Equipment: Mech Hammer Mech Blade Shoot Mech Booster RX Car Armor Cannon Iron Angler Drum Boat Special Techniques: With the Stunclub selected, you can throw an opponent. This is the Professor's Charge-Attack. Special Attacks: Plasma Control(RC Car+Stunclubs): Spawns a small plasma ball. Controlled like a RC Car, right down to the explosion. Wave Barrier(RC Car+Slingshot): Makes a barrier around you which prevents damage. Large Detonation(RC Car+Dragonfly): Injures everyone around the professor, including himself. Cancel Limiter(RC Car+Dash Hoop): Temporarily increases Professor's Jump, Attack, and Speed levels. Pipo Monkey Author's Note: I like the Monkey characters. I prefer Team Monkey, but this guy's pretty cool too. His Pipo Wave special is fantastic. He tends to be centered speedwise on vehicles, especially the boat. Fun Fact: The Banana Marine can be used both underwater and on land as transport (seen in his special attack). Equipment: Jungle Stick Sun Flower Nuts Shooter Dash Leaf Banana RC Car Tank Trolley Banana Marine Jungle Raft Special Techniques: Same as Spike's. Special Attacks: Monkey Bazooka(Stunclub+Slingshot): Fires monkeys as cannonballs. Pipo Wave(Stunclub+Dragonfly): Monkeys cover the screen and bum rush the other players. Does good damage, and hits everyone onscreen. Banana Rocket(Stunclub+Dash Hoop): A Banana-bike appears and you can ride it. Fairly hard to control, but does damage. Similar to Dash Hoop. Monkey Dance(Stunclub+RC Car): A small group of monkeys appears and attacks the area that you throw a banana at. Casi Author's Note: Ah, Casi. Another difficult to get used to character, but a lot easier than Prof. She has three jumps, AND the Dragonfly, so she has great recovery, and her Stunclub is a projectile, so it has good range. She also has odd Control Freak Special Attacks, which are completely baffling unless you read the descriptions. She is awesome in Course tournaments, thanks to her jumping abilities. I just want to know what the deal is with her acid-trip Intermissions? Equipment: Star Photon Jump Ray Star Arrow Star Blast Sprite Ball Shooter Dive Capsule Float Saucer Special Techniques: Just her ranged Stunclub and ability to triple-jump. Special Attacks: Gadget Control(Dragonfly+Stunclub): Prevents others from using Gadgets. Input Control(Dragonfly+Slingshot): Confuses others' movement control. Gravity Control(Dragonfly+Dash Hoop): Slows others' movement speed. Time Control(Dragonfly+RC Car): Stops time and prevents others from moving. Team Monkey Author's Note: This is my favorite character. Playing as these monkeys just wins so much, and the diversity is nice. Since they are all have unique advantages, I'll note them individually. Equipment: Pipo Glove Rocket Fly Pipo Gun Skateboard Monkey UFO Spec Tank Ookie Marine Swan Boat Special Attacks: Goliath Eye(Stunclub+Slingshot): Goliath shoots laser beams from his eyes. Battleship Shoot(Stunclub+Dragonfly): Fires many missiles from the sky. Monkey UFO(Stunclub+Dash Hoop): Jump in a UFO and float around, damaging all you hit and all your abduction beam hits. (Note: This is a great move for difficult passages in Course tournaments.) Goliath Hand(Stunclub+RC Car): Goliath's fists fall from the sky. Special Techniques: Pipo Red (Angry Eyes): Can do Punch combos with the Stunclub. Pipo Green (Goggles): Has greater height with the Dragonfly. Pipo Blue (Sad Eyes): Has faster speed with the Dash Hoop. Pipo Aqua (Sad Eyes): Gets double points upon winning. Supposedly he's got a better proficiency with the RC Car, but I didn't ever notice much difference. Pipo Black (Sunglasses): Can fire 6 shots per pull with the Slingshot. Helga Author's Note: Ah, Helga. I always found her very odd. Her Slingshot seems to be stronger than her Stunclub, at least to me. I never really liked her that much, mostly because this is her first game, so we have little background to go off of. Plus, she's like 8, is evidently a skilled archer, and still drives a Tricycle. What the heck? Equipment: Stunclub Dragonfly Slingshot Dash Hoop RC Car Trike Tank WaterMech Floater Boat Special Techniques: Helga has a endless combo with the Stunclubs if you keep tilting it. (Um. Again, doesn't everyone?) Special Attacks: Sunshine Arrow(Slingshot+Stunclubs): Fires a single, strong arrow. Does big damage if it hits. Ripple Storm(Slingshot+Dragonfly): Jump up in the air and fire a shower of arrows around where she was just standing. Spin Shot(Slingshot+Dash Hoop): Fire arrows while spinning. Homing Arrow(Slingshot+RC Car): Fire arrows that chase people around you. Pipotron Author's Note: Having recently played through several events with them, I have come to the conclusion that Pipotron is the 'broken' character of this game. For those who don't recognize that term, that means they are the most unfair in terms of ownage. They normally run faster than most others, they have 3 jumps, they each have a unique advantage (listed later), their vehicles are ludicrous (reasoning later), and they have a huge special attack (guess what? Explained later!). Equipment: Dark Edge Dark Ring Tron Cannon Dark Booster RZ Car Beatron Pooch D Mode Pooch S Mode Special Attacks: Tron Gush(Dash Hoop+Stunclub): Dark flames arise from the ground in front of Pipotron. Tron Cannon(Dash Hoop+Slingshot): Throws a dark ball at opponent. (Note: Tron Cannon is fantastic. If aimed well from a proper angle, this can literally one-shot a boss. I have gotten, as my crowning record, a 10-second kill on the second-to-last boss in the game. Give it a shot!) Darkness Stream(Dash Hoop+Dragonfly): Generates tornado. Sucks in nearby opponents to do damage. Dark Shout(Dash Hoop+RC Car): Stuns everyone around you. Special Techniques: Red Pipotron: Best with the Stunclub. Blue Pipotron: Fastest with the Dash Hoop. Yellow Pipotron: Best with the Slingshot. Raw Tournament Info [RT1] This section will list the tournaments, and what prize they give. The Raw means that it will be generic. For example, if the prize is a new outfit, the prize will simply be Outfit. For detailed prizes, check the next section. Format Example X Round 0 (XR0) Boomsticks 1 Application ?

[MS1] Here I list what summon monkeys do. Not much else to say...If anyone's wondering, Helga sometimes says "Monkey Summon!" whenever she throws the summon banana. Monta - Calls meteorites down around his location. Kinda short-range. Monzo - Appears, and starts swinging a shuriken in a circle around him. After 2 or so seconds, he lets it go, and it continues spinning in an ever increasing range. Tutanchimp - I'm not entirely sure what he does. He appears, starts doing an odd dance, and the screen's edges get cloudy. I haven't noticed any effect on the action. Pink Monkey - She has two outcomes, even chance. If she has her happy face, she throws health kits in the area around her. Both you and opponents can get them. If she has her mad face, she sends out a shockwave that harms everyone...Including you. Feeling lucky? Samui - Runs at a random enemy, and beats on them with his bat. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the damage done increases slightly each time he is called per fight. Monki-San - Jumps onto a rocket, which emits shockwaves upon takeoff. Edison - Calls the Goliath Arm down where he is standing. Arm itself does damage, and then sends shockwaves upon landing. *Note: This is an amazing summon for Specter boss fights. Throw the summon banana around Goliath's feet, and watch him essentially punch half his own health out. Red Monkey - Flies around the screen, causing damage to everyone. One of my personal favorites, and awesome for fight events. Leo - Does some funky dance steps and causes everyone to be incapacitated by the light of the disco ball. Lasts a few seconds, and the dances are pretty funny. Pumpkin - Inexplicably throws bombs in the immediate area. They don't hurt you. Bruce Monkee - Creates a large shockwave. Higher range and damage than most other shockwaves. Miyamoto - Pretty much the same as Samui, but stronger. Wakkie - Calls down the Goliath Head, which shoots laser beams. The head turns to track a random enemy, but it's pretty slow. Legal Crap [LC1] All trademarks and copyrights contained in this document are owned by their respective trademark and copyright holders.
