Ape Escape On the Loose

Safe Falls
Just as in the Playstation version, when you are falling from a high height that will cost you a life, quickly press Start, then Square, and choose "Yes".

SnowKidz Snowboarding mini-game
To unlock the SnowKidz snowboarding mini-game, collect 10 Specter Emblems. You can find these on every stage. To accelerate, press the Analog-stick Up or hold D-pad Up. Players are Professor, Spike, 1-Ton, and Natalie. You will see a gauge at the bottom of the screen. When you collect glowing bananas, your gauge will fill and will give you a boost of speed. To increase your gauge, hold X and release. This will make you jump. While jumping, hold or press Circle or Triangle. You will perform a trick and increase your gauge. Note: To get higher up, jump while on a hill of snow.

Catching apes:
If an ape is in front of you, hit it with a stun club. Immediately after it falls down, use the net to catch it.

Easier water movement:
On any level, instead of swimming through water that is going against you, keep jumping against it to get to places easier.

Bonus level:
Capture all apes in all other levels to play a bonus level. Defeat Specter to capture him and view the ending.

No sound:
In the main game, collect 40 Specter Emblems then enter the Ape Ping Pong mini-game. Select tournament or practice mode then perform a power hit. Immediately afterwards, pause game play. You will hear the sounds from the rest of the power hit. After you resume the game, you will see the power hit cut seen, but there will be no sound.

Hint: UFOs
If monkeys see you and jump into their UFO, equip your slingshot and shoot it down. When it falls, the monkey will be temporarily stunned.

Glitch - Wrong button instructions
When you go to save the game, go to the view monkeys section (the floppy disk with a monkey on it). To view a monkey, you are instructed to press X, but instead you can also use Circle. Highlight a monkey and press either X or Circle. Move to the last monkey you have (you must have over two pages), then move back to the first monkey. There will be an "L" at the bottom left hand corner of the screen but you cannot move back with L. To exit this glitch, press R once and when you press L it will be gone.

Extra characters in Ape Ping Pong
Defeat Tournament mode and defeat Specter and Yellow Pipotron to be able to use Specter in Tournament or Training mode. (Note: Since specter uses all of the moves it isn't always best to use him because there's the off chance that he'll use a weak attack in battle)

Save the Use of a Life from a fall
This works exactly like the Playstation version. During a Fall that will cost you a life, Press [Star then [Square] then select yes. Of course this has to be done from a very high fall (like off of a cliff where you die) in order for you to be able to do it fast enough. but it will work for any fall if you are fast enough. KEYWORD: FAST

Hidden Monkeys
When You are jumping on a green platform and jumping on the other side to the nest, there is a monkey hidden in a room behind the water fall. the waterfall is just right of the green platform. DON'T try to jump from the platform in the room beyond the waterfall, jump onto the land and try jumping into the room from the corner nearest to it. ok monkey#2, ok you know the nest were the monkey is hiding under the egg shells? That's part of it, there are stairs on the side of a ramp to get to the nest; pretend you are going down them and when on the last step go to the left corner as much as you can. double jump onto a ledge in front of you (just look up), if your hanging on the ledge press up and spike should pull you up. just follow the path and go around (under the waterfall you see) and thus leading you face to face with another monkey
