Part 1: Introducing the Apes

The Apes

Seeing that Ape Escape is mostly about catching Apes, it would seem that we should take the time to get a grasp of how they work.

The Apes are the primary "collectable" and antagonistic force of the Ape Escape series. You must capture them in order to save the world from their plot as led by Specter, the primary antagonist of the Ape Escape series.

Specter, the top banana in charge of the Apes

In the plot of Ape Escape (PS1), Specter bestowed his fellow Apes the trademark Peak Point Helmets that gives them their enhanced intelligence and set them loose through time in order to take over the world. Specter himself is not much more than a simple villain and he doesn't largely represent the vast majority of Apes, so I'll not be discussing him much in detail.

In Ape Escape, the Peak Point Helmet (aka Pipo Helmet) not only gives the Apes their intelligence but plays a large part in gameplay aspects of catching the monkeys which I will go into further detail in the next post.
