Specter was the cutest monkey at the amusement park until that fateful day – the day he found the P-Point helmet. Once donned by the curious simian, the helmet boosted Specter’s intelligence to super-genius levels. Tired of living to amuse spiky-haired locals, Specter sends an army of monkeys into the past to rewrite history and dominate the humans that embarrassed him all his life. Caught in the villain’s temporal wake, it’s up to Spike to scour Earth’s history to capture the primate hordes and, ultimately, Specter himself. While a little on the young side, Ape Escape’s story is ultimately pretty clever.
