Hint:
Easy money:
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.
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.
Go to Casino City level and
destroy the slot machines going left and around in a circle. Once all the
slot machines are destroyed, leave the room and return. Destroy all the slot
machines again and repeat if desired. Note: You may want do this after you
catch all the monkeys in the level so that the monkeys with black pants and
guns do not hurt you.
Hint:
Unlimited lives: 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.
Glitch:
No See-All Scope: After getting all 300 Monkeys enable the "Play as
Spike" code. While playing 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.
Glitch:
Switched soundtracks: 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.
