Summary
Monkey Puncher lets you step into the role of a budding trainer who must raise a tiny primate into a boxing champion. After picking either Kenta or Sumire, you’re handed a monkey named Freddy and must win its trust by feeding it before any training can begin. Daily activities—skipping, punch‑bag work, sit‑ups, running, and even shopping—are performed by rhythmic A‑button presses that the monkey mimics, boosting speed, power, strength, stamina and knowledge. A sparring session offers a modest all‑stat bump, while dating two monkeys produces a baby with a fresh stat ceiling.
Every three in‑game days the monkey enters a Monkey Boxing League bout. You can’t control its punches directly, but between rounds you can refill health or stamina and suggest strategies—provided the monkey feels friendly enough. Winning higher‑ranked opponents raises your rank and earnings, while losing drops you down, making each match a careful balance of preparation and timing.
Storyline
At the start of Monkey Puncher, the protagonist learns that their mother has died and that their father, a Monkey Boxing trainer, has been kidnapped along with the player’s brother or sister by the Saru gang of monkey gangsters. The player’s goal is to rise through the Monkey Boxing Leagues, confront the Saru organization, and rescue both the father and the sibling, who are being brain‑washed into training and fighting monkeys for Saru.
The first major opponent is Cain, who challenges the player to a Monkey Boxing match. After defeating Cain’s monkey, he retreats to the Mysterious Master of Saru. The next boss is a ROBO monkey engineered by Saru’s Professor, and beating it earns the title of JSB Champion.
With the championship in hand, the player receives an invitation to the Monkey 1 Grand Prix on Saru’s secret island base. After overcoming five opponents—including rematches with Cain, battles against the Professor, Sumire/Kenta, the player’s father, and finally the Saru master—the game reaches its conclusion.
