Piposaru 2001 (Ape Escape) - Aethersx2 Android PS2 Emulator SD888 Realme GT
Ape Escape 2001's gameplay differs from the original Ape Escape gameplay outline. The left analog stick on the DualShock Controller is used to control Spike's movement, but unlike the original game, the right analog stick is unused and the face-buttons are used to attack.
The goal of each level is to use a vacuum cleaner to remove a required amount of pants off of the apes and put them into an oversized washing machine while preventing the monkeys from re-obtaining their shorts or attacking the player. While sucking the pants off of a monkey, the monkey can be fired into other monkeys to knock them out. Bomb tokens can also be collected to attack monkeys and bosses.
The graphics were slightly improved yet very similar to the original Ape Escape with the same symbols used throughout the game, such as the stage cleared symbol. 2001 was also the first game in the series to feature no other enemies than the apes. It also featured more levels than the original game. It has 36 stages, while the original has only 19. Each level is timed. The storyline is made in a similar style to Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed. There are five stages to complete and a boss battle in each level, much like Pumped & Primed's layout.
Story
After the events of Ape Escape, the Pipo Monkeys that Spike caught in the previous adventure were sent to a "Virtual Space" invented by the Professor. However, the owner of Monkey Park reported the missing monkeys to the government. A sanitation check was determined to begin soon, and if the monkey pants were not clean by then, the Virtual Space would be taken down. It's up to Spike to collect and wash all of the Monkey Pants.
