Unlimited continues
After you buy all three mini-games, for every 2,500 play points you get, you will gain an extra continue. After you reach 9 continues, the game will give you unlimited continues.

Extra points
There are a few warps in the game that can result in more points in the normal levels. In the second level in beginners mode, there is a ramp on the opposite side of the original goal. Climb that ramp slowly and you will fall on a floor beneath it, with the goal that transports you to the fifth floor.

In advance mode, there is a level similar to second level on beginners mode, except that the second half moves up and down. The ramp is still on the same place as the second level of beginners mode. There is also a warp located here.

Advanced level 18: Warp
During the start of race against the goals on the giant musical note, just roll off the head of the first arrow on the right. You will fall to the bottom of the course. Wait for the red goal to swing around and roll directly through it. You will warp to level 25, the obstacle-like course.

Go off the edge to the right and land on the track. Stay there and wait for the orange goal with a banana bunch. Go inside it to warp to level 25.

Advanced level 25: Green goal
Advanced mode level 25 has a green goal which can be reached by stopping at the blue goal and taking the pathway. Do not take any of the shortcuts unless you are very skilled, and are short on time (under twenty seconds). This will take you to level 28

At the very beginning, go to the left slightly (enough to clear the "boing" posts). Go as fast as possible directly into the hole. You will fly over the hole and the ledge will function as a ramp, which will propel you over the fences and the gap. You will fly directly into the green goal. Go through and you will warp to level 28.

Beginner level 2:Green goal
At the beginning of the level, face backwards. You will see a ramp. Gain speed and go over the ramp. Note: Too much speed will send you flying. You will land on a platform. Turn around and you will be facing the goal.

Beginner level 6: Easy finish
Just jump off to the right.

Beginner level 10: Save ten seconds
Get to level 10 with any character. Go down the first ramp and take a right. You will see the round-cornered platform that has two paths with a banana on each across from you. Instead of going up the ramp and around to get to this platform, gain some speed and jump across. Try not to go too fast, or you will fall into the hole between the two bananas. Carefully slow down and continue with the track. This saves about ten seconds, depending on how fast it takes you.

Expert level 2: Warp
There is a warp door in the second stage of expert mode. The stage has two doors, the red one is the warp. It has bananas on the front. To reach it, you must climb a narrow path.

Expert level 8: Easy finish
Just jump off to the right. You have little time and you must be careful because of the gaps.

Punch the camera
Go to "Party Games". Select any player setting. Play the game and you win, the camera will focus on you. Turn your fist to the camera, then press [A] to punch it.

Monkey Bowling: Easy strikes
When the mini-game starts, do not move your ball anywhere. There is a spot that you aim for with the "aimer", just to the right of the pins on either side. From a distance, it resembles a skinny vertical gray strip. Try to get the "aimer" in the very center of the gray strip on either side. Then set the power meter all the way up and your spin ( [L] or [R] ) all the way up. If you aim for the right strip, your spin should go left and if you aim for the left strip, your spin should go right. The difficult part is getting the "aimer" directly on that spot. The rest should be easy.

Monkey Fight: Punch the camera or opponent
After winning a battle in monkey fight, while your monkey is celebrating turn towards the camera and press [A] to punch it. In this same manner, if you turn the camera towards another opponent who is within reach, you can hit them and send them flying. This trick works the best if you have a couple of arm extensions.

Monkey Target: Easy points
Immediately when you begin to roll down the ramp, open and close your ball quickly. You should roll down the ramp, get stuck at the bottom, and receive 1 point.

Use your Magnet Ball item, then hit an area that is not marked and stick to it. You should receive 15 points.

Use your Magnet Ball item, then land on one of the small platforms (almost the size of the ball your monkey is in). If you land and stay on it, you will get 500 points.

Finding bananas
Note where your monkey's head is turning to find the closest banana, whether it can be picked up or not.

Look under the ramp to find hidden bananas. You can get them, but this is difficult to do so. Note: They are worth the same amount as the other bananas.
