Tricks

Basement Catch

The last monkey in the basement section can be caught immediately upon entering the room with a little trick.

There is a monkey under your feet at the start of the room but you can knock him down from up here.

When you hit him down, he bounces upwards and pops up through the floor for one single frame during which you are able to catch him.


The easy way to do this is to use the RC car.

place down the car (don't swap to another gadget afterwards), jump and ground pound to destroy it.

Right as it explodes you want to spaw to the Time Net to catch it. With the RC car you have three frames to swap to the net.

If the car doesn't explode, you changed to the net too early (net cannot deal damage and thus won't destroy the car).

If the car explodes but you don't catch the monkey, you were either too far away, had a bad angle or you were too late on swapping to the net.


The hard way to do this is to use the club (or any non net gadget for that matter).

You can jump and ground pound above the monkey and the moment you bonk the monkey you want to swap to the net.

this method should be avoided because you only have one single frame to swap to the net and the RC car method is barely any slower.


The fast way to do this is to immediately hoop upon entering the room and running over to the upper half of the grating on the floor on the 2nd last row (see picture).

from here place down the RC car and do your magic.
