Ape Escape 2 is a platform video game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It is the second game in the Ape Escape series, and is also used as the basis for the animated series by Frederator.

Ape Escape 2, like its predecessor, is a platform game in which players control Jimmy as he catches monkeys spread across each level. Like the previous game, players control Jimmy using the left analog stick and shoulder buttons while using the right analog stick to control various Gotcha Gadgets that are unlocked as the player progresses through the game. Along with returning gadgets such as the Stun Club, Monkey Net, Super Hoop, Water Net, Slingback Shooter, RC Car, and Sky Flyer, Ape Escape 2 introduces three new gadgets; the Bananarang, which attracts monkeys with its scent, the Water Cannon, which puts out fires, and the Electro Magnet, which can be used on magnetic surfaces. The Magic Punch, a gadget from the first game unlocked in the post-game, also makes a return. New to the game is the monkey sidekick, Pipotchi, who accompanies Hikaru through most of the game. While with Jimmy, Pipotchi can give the player hints, help Jimmy reach ledges, and revive him once per life when his health is depleted.

The game takes place after the events in Ape Escape, where Spike (Kakeru in the Japanese and European versions) stopped Specter from taking over the world. It is a few years later, and the Professor left for a vacation leaving his granddaughter, Natalie (Natsumi in the Japanese and European versions), and Spike's cousin, Jimmy (Hikaru in the Japanese and European versions), to watch over the laboratory. The Professor has left them with one task: deliver a load of monkey pants to the monkeys in Monkey Park. Jimmy accidentally sends not only the monkey pants, but some Monkey Helmets as well, wrecking the laboratory in the process. Specter gets a hold of one, and yet again makes an army of monkeys bent on ruling the world. Under Natalie's orders, Jimmy, accompanied by a friendly baby Pipo Monkey named Pipotchi, sets out to capture all the monkeys and stop Specter. However, Specter has supplied five monkeys, the Freaky Monkey Five, with Vita-Z bananas, making them stronger and more intelligent than the average monkeys.
