I love the theme of this game, having every level be based on tv shows/movies is a really fun idea and allowed them to fill each world with tons of fun references. The stages are all really varied as well, flying planes, amusement parks, beaches, hot springs and a lot more, each level feels really fun and unique. The gameplay is improved as well, the core is still the same dual analog stick monkey catching and platforming action, but they add fun transformations that shake things up. Some are better than others but it leads to fun moments and makes the boss fights more interesting than the typical affair. This is a series I grew to like more and more as I played them, I wish I played them growing up because they almost definitely would have been favorites of mine.
