All Categories (First visit)
All categories are same on the first visit here too.
On the reference image, i drew a red line that you want to follow through the first visit.
Monkey 1
You want to start by running towards the very right edge of the bridge. once you're on the peak of it, do a Neutral Double over to the monkey and catch him.
If you mess up your movement and don't catch him immediately, he will follow the yellow line drawn in the picture and you will have to get over to the mainland to catch him.
Monkey 2
From the first monkey you want to turn 180 and short hop (quick tap of the jump button) into the water and swim along the drawn line on the image.
(note that swimming is faster than running on land so you want to stay in the water as long as possible).
Neutral Double over the gap and then run towards the second monkey and jump catch him quickly.
If you miss the catch, he will jump down into the water and swim to the left.
Monkey 3
This catch is kind of cool. you have two ways of doing this but in short you walk off the edge and swing your net to catch the monkey in the water.
Monkey 4
This is a bit trickier but coming from where you caught Monkey 3 you can either do the Ground Pound Catch or the Slope Jump.
The Slope Jump is technically faster but the Ground Pound Catch is easier.
(note that if you miss the ground pound catch you cant try it again as the monkey has moved from his position, you then must do the slope jump).
Tricks
Ground Pound Catch
The last monkey in the Any% route is usually caught with a ground pound.
On the wall you can see light and dark stripes. you want to align yourself on the 2nd light stripe from the left.
After you swim to this spot you want to double jump and at the peak of your jump do a ground pound with the net.
If you miss him, don't bother trying again because now he is running around instead of being in place. Instead see the Slope Jump method.
Slope Jump
Technically a faster way to catch the last Any% monkey.
The easy way to do this is to normal swim (don't hold R1/2) into the corner, you'll see spike pop up from the water for a moment.
During that moment you want to double jump up to the ledge.
The harder but faster way has you swim into the corner with speed (make sure you're on the surface of the water).
When you hit the corner, spike will slide up it for a moment so quickly double jump to reach the ledge.
With this method you can get enough height to skip the ledge grab, but this is considerably harder.
