Gacha Mecha Stadium Saru Battle [NTSC-J] [SCPS-15072]
Ape Escape: Pumped and Primed, known in Japan as Gacha Mecha Stadium Saru Battle (ガチャメカスタジアム サルバト～レ), is a video game that was developed by SCEI for the PlayStation 2. The game was published by Ubisoft and SCEI in 2004. It is the fourth title in the Ape Escape franchise. It was never released in Europe, despite being advertised in the UK and Australia. Unlike the other Ape Escape games, this game is more of a party game, similar to Mario Party and Sonic Shuffle. The game consists of minigames that the player must finish to pass. The story mode is broken up into different tournaments with 3 to 4 players, where 1 to 2 players must finish at least 1st place to pass. Usually, two types of events occur after the player finishes a tournament: a movie featuring the player's character of choice and monkeys, or a cutscene followed by a boss battle; this is the first Ape Escape game to have a rating higher than an E.
