Your primary goal is to capture all the monkeys that have escaped from the lab using a variety of gadgets. You control a young boy equipped with a net, a stun club, a slingshot, and other tools.
The core gameplay involves exploring large, open levels to find and catch monkeys, each of which has unique behaviors and movement patterns. You must use the right analog stick to control your gadgets, a novel control scheme for the time.
In the early stages, focus on mastering the basic net swing and movement. As you progress, you'll need to use gadgets like the RC Car to navigate tricky terrain or the Time Net to travel between eras.
The challenge comes from the monkeys' evasive maneuvers and the environmental puzzles you must solve to reach them. During tense moments, prioritize dodging enemy attacks while lining up a clear shot with your net or stun club to immobilize a monkey before capture.
