Controls Battles Foods Items Keys Books Other Useless / Sell Mixing Hints / Tips ~*~*~Controls~*~*~ A button confirm selection, train monkey B button cancel selection, show menu Start show monkey stats Control Pad move arrow in menu BUY/SELL food and/or items: CALL your monkey, then select SHOPPING. There, you will be given a choice to BUY or SELL. In BUY mode, you can choose to let your monkey buy whatever it wants, or give it an order. Use the arrow keys in either mode to select a food and to choose quantities of foods. ~*~*~Battles~*~*~ To win, your monkey must K.O. your opponent by depleting your opponent's Strength. If neither you or your opponent can K.O. each other, then the winner is chosen by the Judge's decision. This decision is based on who did better during the match. All I am sure is that the decision involves the number of downs, Strength, and Stamina the monkeys have after the final round. *~*Strategies*~* Attack Hit it! Hit it! This strategy makes your monkey hit your opponent as much as possible. It uses alot of Stamina, however, and leaves your monkey vulnerable to your opponents attacks too. The more Power your monkey has, the more Strength it will take away from the opposing monkey. Defence Beat it up This is a good strategy to use against attacking opponents. Your monkey won't use a lot of Stamina and its Strength won't be lost either. Your opponent's monkey will lose alot of Stamina if it keeps trying to attack your monkey's defence, and it will be all worn out in the next round. Speed Keep moving Also a good strategy to use when your opponents are attacking. This is especially effective if your monkey has high Speed. Your monkey will be running circles against the other monkey, not allowing it to get a hit in against you. This strategy also has your monkey making a good mix of attacking and running away. It's not a 100 % effective strategy, however - your opponent can still hit you sometimes. Balanced Keep your balance This strategy makes your monkey have a good mix of attacking, running, and defending. I find that it is better to have more Knowledge when using this strategy, as your monkey will be better at choosing the better choice for each situation, be it attacking, running or defending. ~*~*~Foods~*~*~ Food is used to recover Strength and/or Stamina, and also to relieve a monkey of its hunger. New foods can be obtained when you let your monkey go shopping without a shopping list. This is the only way new foods can be obtained. After your monkey has bought a food once, you can order it to buy more of the food as you would normally. The descriptions are right from the game, so don't tell me that I am not good at making descriptions.

This you can get after a certain event. Also, only certain items can be mixed together, and some items that can be mixed with one item may not be able to mix with another item. These are the items that can be mixed: Aspirin Antacid Seltzer Iron Vitamin Calcium Minerals Take note, however. These stat changes are permanent. For example, say I have a monkey with the following stats and I use Tablet 1 on it. Before After Pow 500* 530* Spd 500* 500* Knowl 500* 500* Str 500* 470* Stm 500* 500* The following are all the different combinations: Aspirin + Antacid = Tablet 1 Pow + 30, Str - 30 Vitamin + Minerals = Tablet 1 Pow + 30, Str - 30 Antacid + Aspirin = Tablet 2 Str + 30, Stm - 30 Iron + Minerals = Tablet 3 Stm + 30, Pow - 30 Minerals + Iron = Tablet 3 Stm + 30, Pow - 30 Calcium + Antacid = Tablet 4 All Stats - 20 Antacid + Calcium = Tablet 4 All Stats - 20 Calcium + Vitamin = Tablet 5 All Stats +100 - 99 = + 1 Vitamin + Calcium = Tablet 5 All Stats +100 - 99 = + 1 Seltzer + Aspirin = Tablet 7 "You've become a bad monkey" ~*~*~Hints/Tips~*~*~ After you get a new monkey, you can call it when it starts to like/trust you. Feed it two bananas. After this, you will be able to call your monkey. This is the earliest time it your monkey will respond to you. Always get your monkey to have stars in every stat before you breed it. This way, you can get the most potential out of the new monkey. to be continued...
