|gameinfo          = In Ape Escape 3, you can try to thwart another attempt by Specter and his evil monkeys to rule the world. Take control of Kei, or his sister Yumi, and use nets and other weapons to capture the meddlesome monkeys. The game also features transformations, which allow you to morph into different characters to complete parts of the game or to defeat bosses. In addition to story mode, you can play multiplayer minigames or play "Mesal Gear Solid," a parody of the Metal Gear Solid franchise.

==Known Issues==
 
 
 
{{Issue
|IssueName=Slowdowns when monkeys are on screens
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Game can slow down when a monkey is visible on a screen inside the game. This includes when a monkey is located with the Monkey Radar and when the black-and-white movie is visible in the cinema room at the 4th level.
|Workaround=In ''Config'' > ''General Settings'' > ''GameFix'', enabling ''EE timing attack'' could reduce slowdowns. In addition, setting Cycle Skip to a mild underclock can help with stability. This is under System > Cycle Skip.
}}
