Pipo Saru 2001

Pipo Saru 2001 is an action platforming game and is the second release in the Ape Escape series. Players again take control of Spike as he enters virtual space to suck the dirty pants off of monkeys using a new high-powered vacuum called the Nugetcha in order to then clean said pants. The gameplay deviates from Ape Escape in that the right analog stick is not used. Instead, the face buttons are used to jump and activate the Nugetcha, the only tool in Spike's arsenal. Using the Nugetcha, Spike must progress through a series of levels to suck the pants off of a required number of monkeys and deliver the pants to the goal (a washing machine) while avoiding monkeys who which to snatch their pants back.
