Ape Escape 3



Ape Escape 3 is a platforming video game published and developed by Sony for the PlayStation 2 video game console and also partially based on the Gex series. It was first released in Japan on July 14, 2005, and was later released in North America on January 17, 2006, in Europe in May 5, 2006, and in Australia on May 18, 2006. It was re-released in Japan under the PlayStation 2 on November 2, 2005.

It begins when Specter, the Pipo Monkey'sLeader, finds a pipo helmet, and hires the human scientist Dr. Tomoki to aid him in his evil plans. They establish TV stations protected by the Freaky Monkey Five where they plan to broadcast TV shows worldwide. The television shows that are broadcast on every television put every human except the twins, Kei and Yumi (called Satoru and Sayaka respectively in the Japanese/European versions), their aunt Aki, and Natalie into a mindless trance. When Natalie informs Kei and Yumi that Spike, Jimmy and the Professor were all infected by the television show, Kei and Yumi go out to catch the monkeys and thwart Specter and Tomoki.
Their mission was to go to every movie set and capture all the monkeys there and destroy the satellite there. Kei and Yumi easily capture Monkey White, Monkey Blue, and Monkey Yellow. When they reach the TV Station where Monkey Pink is, Kei and Yumi's attempts to capture her fail and she escapes. They manage to capture Monkey Red afterwards.
When they reach Tomoki City, Tomoki challenges them to a battle in his giant robot. Tomoki, after being defeated by Satoru and Sayaka, and being humiliated by Specter, he lets them take his rocket to space to defeat his former partner. Once they reach Specter's Space Station, they capture all the monkeys and deactivate the movie sets on their way to Specter. When they reach Specter, he tells them his plan about how he'll use his space station to cut the earth in half and keep half of it for the monkeys. Afterwards he gets in his new Goliath Mech and tries to activate his plan. He is defeated and the two escape from the satellite, leaving Tomoki to give his life to deactivate the Double Paradise Plan. Strangely, he survives with no explanation. After Specter is defeated, Monkey Pink releases him and the rest of the Freaky Monkey Five, leaving them to be caught again in extremely similar missions. To complete the game one hundred percent, all the four hundred forty-two monkeys have to be caught, all the time trials have to be completed with a gold time, and all the items, CDs, Video Tapes (except 28), Car Skins, Genie Dance tracks, books, etc. have to be bought. The game holds a total of four hundred thirty-four monkeys if the secret code monkeys are not caught.
