Lv 1: Take the left path on the 2nd screen.

Lv 2: Skip the first hider if you can in favor of the blue monkey. Get Red so that he doesn't attack you while waiting for fish. Get the gun just before the ending for a swift Red Monkey fight.

Lv 3: Don't stop fanning until after the mid-way at least, don't have to stop. There's a setup for that!

Red Monkey: Grab gunner. When elephant does fire attack, quickly go behind him and shoot at the clockwork thingy. 10 hits will do the trick

Lv 4: Get first cavemonkey, his punches are stronger for the blocks. Walking up icy slopes = faster than jumping Get the first blue one after the hill, worth it! Motorcycle monkey if you can catch him; not necessary if he takes too long

Lv 5: Skip the charger in the beginning.

Lv 6:

Blue Monkey: Shoot blue 3 times, rake him in and hit him 3 times with strong hammer attack. Repeat 3 times

Lv 7:

Lv 8: After Wrench monkey, get a Green monkey to shoot the Blue motor monkey down. He's worth it in the next area

Lv 9: The bunny isn't worth it if it takes time catching him.

Yellow Monkey: Yellow monkey will start spinning towards you. Get out of the way and blow-torch him to death when he's done. Afterwards he jumps to the middle of the cake, quickly hit the button in the back, and torch him again. This will repeat for a few times.

Lv 10: After the "simon says" door, either catch the hookshot monkey or let him defeat you. It's easier to catch some monkeys when you're not controlling a monkey. Not getting green monkey and ufo seems faster.

Lv 11: Climbing monkey is faster and easier to catch. You only need to do 2 of the punching bags at the ending, you'll reach the ending with a double jump.

Lv 12: Skip the first zombie monkey and go straight for the centaurus. During the flying part, hug the left wall. Still be cautious for the pink balls. If you lost a life or are still new, make it worth it to grab all/most of the coins at the end of the level to purchase new lifes. Cinderella monkey is also a strong choice for the Pink monkey battle.

Pink Monkey: With hammer monkey, it the first switch front-left of the stage, then hit the right one once she's between the 2 switches. Lure her in if she isn't. If she blows you to the back of the stage, you can do this again. If she doesn't blow you back instantly after that, switch to another monkey to inflict some damage when she's attacking to not risk killing your hammer monkey.

Lv 13: Underwater travel is faster than swimming on the surface. After the electricity part, grab the monkey with the gun and jetpack. He'll save time even after the split paths reconnect.

Lv 14:

Lv 15: Destroying the "cores" takes 10 hits each. Hammer/melee spin attacks have this thing down in no time and are recommended.

White Monkey: Grab hammer and hit the button. The arm on the roof will then grab White monkey and hold him down when you can power-hammer the clockwork thing on his back. Immediately after grab the yellow gun monkey. Stand on the far back wall on the outer ring where you can see the button, go into fps and shoot him. His glove and gun attack won't hurt you, but step aside for the bombs. Once you see that you can press the button again, shoot it, grab the hammer and by that time you can hit him again.

Specter:
