About This Game
AiAi, MeeMee, and Baby live peacefully on Jungle Island until GonGon, leader of the Gorillas, leads a raid and takes all the bananas. AiAi escapes and falls asleep. In his dream, the Grand Monkey tells him of a paradise in the sky called Banana Island — and teaches him a magic spell: "Ei Ei Poo!" AiAi wakes up, says the words, and a great ball falls from the sky around him. The path to Banana Island runs through traps and tricks. Players who reach the Master Stages and play as AiAi, MeeMee, or Baby can enter Banana Island at the end. GonGon, however, finds himself locked out while the others enjoy their reward.
