== Version/Region Differences ==
There are three region versions of Ape 3: PAL (Europe), NTSC-U (USA) and NTSC-J (Japan).
As with Ape Escape 1, the PAL version should be avoided because it runs at 5/6th the speed of the NTSC versions.
The water in [[AE3/The Hot Springs|The Hot Springs]] is yellow in the JP version and blue in the other versions.

The Japanese version has an unique glitch in [[AE3/Airplane Squadron|Airplane Squadron]] where you can skip the cutscene button in the second outside section because the loading zone for the next section is active at all times.

== Platform Differences ==
The game can be played on the following platforms:

* PS2
* PS3 (Disc)
* PS3 (PSN)

The PSN version was only released in Japan and is the fastest because of the load speed and the bad emulation which causes lava to not hurt you.

You can play the original disc on the PS3 but this needs a specific model of the console which are prone to failing.

For speedruns the PSN is fastest for the above mentioned reasons.

Emulators are banned.

== Character Differences ==
''TODO: write up more technical info.''

Unlike Ape 1 and 2, this game has two playable characters. Sayaka the idol and Satoru the boy.

This isn't just a cosmical change because Sayaka acts as a hidden "Easy Mode".

As Sayaka is an idol, she has a monkey fan club. This means that select few monkeys in the game do not fight back at all if you play as her.

* '''Sayaka'''
** Does more damage.
** Monkey fan club.
* '''Satoru'''
** Monkeys see him from further away.

Their hitboxes are also different size as some clips just don't work as Satoru.
