Perhaps not a traditional platformer most of the time, but I still consider it to
be a collectathon in its core formula.

This game's actually sick but the designers did a really good job hiding that fact. I insist I found a fun way to play this game.

The rare, coveted 2D collectathon. (Why'd Nintendo decide not to use the D-pad in this game. Gonna make an hour long video essay ranting about that someday)

I want to love Ape Escape more but I really just wish it would let you collect all monkeys on your first visit. Splitting the levels into 2 visits really hurts the pacing and "collect 'em all" element for me. Still, can't go wrong with funne monkey games.

I gotta get around to replaying this one. I got near the end then my brother deleted my save file and I haven't touched it in over a decade.

This one is long overdue for an updated look, don't remember much but my subconscious is telling me I vibe with it.

I really don't like this or anything below it. BUT my opinions are always evolving, perhaps things could change~
