Ape Escape 2 Cheats (PlayStation 2)

Successfully complete the game after finding all 300 monkeys. Highlight "New Game" at the
main menu, then press L1 + Start to play as Spike from the original Ape Escape.

Go to the soundtracks area in the extras menu. Select either "Gotcha Rythmn" or "Monkeys
Gonna Getchu". Listen to them to hear that they are switched.

Hold X while the credits are displayed.

In the Ninja Hideout level, there is a garden of bamboo plants. Also nearby are a couple
of rocks. If you break the rocks with your stick, there will be some cookies and a jacket.
You can keep going to another part of the level and returning. The cookies and life will
be there again. Do this as many times as needed to get 99 lives. Note: The fastest
way to do this is to wear your Super Hoop to move faster.

After getting all 300 monkeys, enable the "Play as Spike" code. While playing as Spike,
even though you have all the gadgets you do not have the See-All Scope which lets you find
the monkeys you get with the Magic Punch gadget.

Go to the casino level. It helps to get rid of any black pants wearing monkeys in the
first part of the level. Break open all of the slot machines in a counter-clockwise
direction. After awhile you will meet a rat-looking enemy that takes your money when you
run into it. Let him hit you and allow him to take your gold. Then, quickly hit him and
all of your gold will be dropped. Grab all of it quickly; after you collect 5 gold pieces
they turn to silver stars. After 5 silver stars, they turn into gold stars which are worth
10 gold pieces. Continue hitting the slots and you will find one more of these rats. Also,
after you defeat Spector (Mech-Monkey Sub-Boss) and unlock the extra monkeys, go to the
Simian Citadel level. Toward the end of this level, you will find a wizard-monkey named
Tommy. If you do not catch him, he constantly creates enemies. One of these enemies is the
rat thief. Let him steal your coins, then steal them back. You can use the Super Hoop to
catch him. Keep repeating this until your coins are at 999. Note: even if you catch
Tommy and save the game, you can still return in time trial mode to perform this trick.
