...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.
So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed is a party spinoff of the Ape Escape franchise, where the cast of the series compete in a virtual tournament.

Unused Data

In the game's files, there are player stats for Specter and Dark Specter, implying they were meant to be unlockable similar to Jake and Dark Jake. Something to note with their stats: Specter has the lowest base boat speed, at 5, compared to the average of 7.23 while Dark Specter has the fastest base boat speed, at 30.

Unused Music

Leftover MIDI Audio

On the game's disc, under \RAW\SOUND\MIDI\, there are six leftover MIDI files (accompanied by samples) that are unused in the final game. The final game uses compressed audio in .INT format.

BGM21
BGM21.mid is the game's opening theme.
BGM26
BGM26.mid and BGM27.mid appear to be sampled versions of songs that play in certain introduction screens.
BGM27
BGM28
BGM28.mid is the theme for the main menu.
TEST_M15
TEST_M15.mid is a track that is not in the final game, it appears to be the theme for Panic Pyramid from Ape Escape 2.
TEST_M25
TEST_M25 is not in the final game either, but it appears to be the Travel Station theme from Ape Escape 2.
