Honestly one of the best platformers ever made. The analogue controls are super intuitive and fun to use. The graphics are simple and cartoony, and honestly have aged super well in my eyes. The soundtrack is super unique and catchy. Perhaps the only blemish are the voices, but they've got their own cheesy charm.

The monkeys themselves are the star if the show and you have to change uo your tactics constantly to catch them all. Backtracking to get any leftovers feels fun, as you don't quite know what to expect.

While the later games further improve the formula, this is a PS1 classic and absolutely worth your time.
