The first level, you'd think it's easy at but the third monkey is a pain.

Timing starts when you land and gain control of spike.

Monkey 1

The first monkey starts moving immediately when the level loads so he may be anywhere on the line, most likely in the middle of it if you skip the level preview.

The closer the first monkey is to the second one, the better. you can up the chances of him being close to the second monkey by waiting out the level preview fully as he is moving the entire time.

Monkey 2

After you catch the first guy and start running towards monkey 2, he will jump behind the rock and then run to the cross road in the image.

Since we know he is going to do this every time, we can run straight towards the cross road and do a jump swing with the net.

If the first monkey was in a bad position or was mean to you, you might be too slow to catch the second monkey in the ideal position.

In which case you'll have to adapt quickly, he can either run towards you and annoyingly go behind the camera or he can run straight away from you towards the corner.

Monkey 3

This one is the worst and it's all because of the terrain he is manouvering around.

Coming from the second monkey you want to go from the right of the rock and depending on where the third monkey is you want to do different things.

He is usually at one of the three points on the line and from that point he will most likely follow the line i drew in the picture.

Position 1

The easiest case is when he is at the tippy top of the formation. from there if you run straight at him he will always go to the left and off the formation where you can cut him off.

Position 2

When he is on the middle platform if you run towards a bit to the left of him, he will most likely jump up to the top where you can catch him or force him to jump off the formation to the left.

If you run towards to the right of him, he will likely jump down to the lower platform and run away from you off the formation.

Position 3

Lastly if he is on the bottom platform you should run straight at him as he will either run away from you or towards you. If you're lucky he might be blind and stay in place in this location.
