>Play Spike for1st run
>You don't actually need to catch every monkey to complete a level, only thing that matters is the main missions. Capturing more monkeys gives you more points which gets you higher tier materials for gadget crafting but don't worry about it on your 1st run
>Make sure to get the weapon upgrades but don't bother with trying for custom ones, just check periodically for the premade ones you can make
>For the net, if you hold R3 and let go, you can shoot nets like the Saru Blaster from AE2
>For dash hoop, if you have a non-hoop gadget equipped and then double tap whatever you have hoop bound to, you can activate it for a quick burst. Very useful for combos or dodging
>Get yellow gun and white laser cannon asap. Yellow dash hoop also good. Red gun sucks, yellow laser cannon sucks, red laser cannon good but takes good timing to use well
>For bosses, bring two guns (white + yellow gun is reliable), stun club, and hoop. You'll need the ammo
>Stun Club: L3 + R3 let's you guard. VERY useful, the game also has perfect guard mechanics where you can parry melee attacks if you get one
>Hold the jump button after doing a double jump to do a jetpack hover
>Use your specials very often, there are 4 of them and each one is bound to pressing different pairs of face buttons next to each other like O + X, Square + Triangle etc
>Focus green and red monkeys when you see them
Mission tips
>For M3 (truck), just ignore all the enemies and focus on the truck. For M27 stay on one side
>For the Haruka missions, just run by nearly all the enemies and only kill things that actually attack her
>Final boss spoiler. iirc you need to max out your special meter, then get him to critical HP for when he's about to start healing, THEN do the special move. It's retardedly designed despite the moment being kino
The game takes getting used to and some missions might filter you but I like it
