Ape Escape 2 (Saru! Get You! 2 in Japan), is a platform game for the PlayStation 2 that is part of the Ape Escape series.

In the game, a boy named Hikaru (Jimmy in the United States version) along with a baby monkey named Pipotchi and a teenage braniac named Natsumi (Natalie) have to assist the professor in catching monkeys that are wreaking havoc. Spike, the hero of the first game and Jimmy's cousin makes a cameo appearance, but once the player defeats Specter in the final battle, a secret is revealed in which if you hold L1 and Start when starting a new game, the player will play as Spike.

The character names are the same as the original Japanese names in the United Kingdom version of the game, but are different in the United States version of the game. Namco distributes this game in the U.S., Japan and Europe.

Freaky Monkey Five

  • Specter 1-Specter tries to use a symbol-clashing monkey to destroy Jimmy, but it is eventually revealed the monkey is really a metallic robot in disguise. Jimmy must then use his magnet to take a huge block out of the robot's stomach and attack its weakspot. After destroying the robot Specter escapes yet again.
  • Specter 2-When Jimmy catches all of the monkeys he comes here to have one last battle against Specter.

Minigames

Like in the previous game, Ape Escape 2 features minigames, this time to get them you pay for them via a vending machine in the hub when you've got up to a certain stage in the game. The minigames are:

  • Dance Monkey Dance: A dancing minigame similar to the Dance Dance Revolution Series where the player competes against other monkeys in a dancing contest. Alternatively, the player can dance alone and is reviewed on his or her dancing by judges.
  • Monkey Soccer: A minigame similar to the FIFA Series where the player plays against other teams in a soccer game.
  • Monkey Climber: In this minigame the player has to make the monkey climb up the vines by repeatedly tapping the analog stick buttons.
