There are also several characters shown that don't appear in the final game, including a female mage (Who somewhat bears a striking resemblance in appearance to Jake), and a male monk.Specter seems to have gone through the most changes, but he has always had a unique helmet and throne to set him apart from the other apes, even in the earliest artwork, along with his albino coloring.Since she holds a Stun Club, it's possible that she could have either been a second playable character, similar to Yumi, or an assistant like Casi. Helga also strangely appears in this artwork, which means that Helga was originally planned to be in the prototype/original Ape Escape.Spike also had an animal companion on his shoulder that may or may not have evolved into Pipotchi from the second game. While it doesn't seem like Gadgets appear in this concept, Spike is seen wielding a sword and a wooden club, similarly to the Stun Club. In some artworks, his blonde tuft on his forehead is gone, making him look similar to Jimmy. Spike's horizontally-striped shirt matches some unused sprites found in the data of Ape Escape, showing that some ideas from this artbook, at one time, made it off the paper and into the game in some form, before the changes were made. Spike's appearance is similar to his final design, but seems more mature, slightly taller and has an earing on his left ear.Monkeys also appeared, but there was no catching mechanic added. While the animal movement was scrapped, the idea was reworked into the R.C. Spike would have moved with the Left Stick, and have an animal companion be moved with the Right Stick. Spike would venture throughout the world, trying to find a way back home. The plot of the game would have revolved around The Professor sending Spike to an "Animal World" where primates ruled the world as villains.In honor of Ape Escape's 20th anniversary, this Twitter account was set up, and periodically provided various sketches and drawings for concepts that ultimately didn't get into the first game, As well as an art book.

Two Voices, One Character: Happened by accident in the PSP remake, with one cutscene suddenly switching to audio from the original version instead of the new voice acting.

In the same game, Veronica Taylor voices Jimmy and Pink Monkey.

Talking to Himself: In Ape Escape 2, Dan Green does double-duty as both the Professor and Spike.

Relationship Voice Actor: Jimmy ( Veronica Taylor) and Natalie ( Rachael Lillis) ended up sounding like Ash and Misty in the North American version of Ape Escape 2.

Solid Snake's guest appearance in Ape Escape 3 was voiced by Peter Lurie (who voiced Vulcan Raven in the original Metal Gear Solid) instead of his usual actor David Hayter.

In an odd case, Pumped and Primed was not released in Europe. Ape Academy 2 similarly only got released in Europe and Japan.

An Eyetoy entry in the series, Monkey Mania, never got an North American version due to poor reception in Japan, Europe, and Australia.

Piposaru 2001, Million Monkeys, Piposaru Racer, and SaruSaru Big Mission were the only titles in the series to not get an English version.

Because of this, it became one of the most acclaimed games on the platform, and was cited as being revolutionary.

Killer App: The first game served as one for the DualShock controller, being the first game to explicitly require it due to utilizing both of the analogue sticks.

The PlayStation Move reboot, likewise, seems to have failed to find an audience and killed the franchise entirely, with very few signs of life from it since then.

Franchise Killer: It seems the third game didn't do well enough in the West for the franchise to avert No Export for You for most of the remaining installments.

This applies to everyone except for Pink Monkey, who retains the same more American accent in both.

One for North America where the characters all have American accents, and another for the UK where everyone has a British accent.

Dueling Dubs: For some reason, the games are almost always given two English dubs.

These designs might have inspired Yumi's Fantasy Knight transformation in Ape Escape 3.

There are also some designs of scrapped characters resembling wizards and witches.

It's possible that the apes in Monkey Madness that play arcade cabinets reading "Kidz" are intended to be playing the prototype game that evolved into Ape Escape. These mentions of the word are most likely either leftovers from when the game had this name, or inside references to the game's development. The word was see in some of the levels, on signs, graffiti, and game consoles, as well as the Ski Kidz Racing minigame.

Development Gag: This artbook seems to explain why the word "Kidz" was used so much in the first Ape Escape.
