Ape Escape 2

The soccer minigame is unlocked from the Gotcha Box. Refer to Perfect Score for information on how to use the Gotcha Box. Once you unlock this minigame, you can access it by heading to the Mini Game Corner and choosing “Monkey Football”. Before actually starting the game, I recommend reading through the controls by selecting “Instructions” from the minigame’s main menu.

If you have a second controller, this trophy can be done very easily. If you don’t have a second controller, skip to the next paragraph. If you do have a second controller, choose “Two players” from the minigame’s main menu. Assemble the two teams in any way you want. Once the game starts, follow this tip provided by MegaSeveN:

"Have Player 1 take the ball to Player 2's goal and try to shoot it in. When the goalie inevitably catches it because this game is awful, pick up Player 2's controller and make the goalie shoot the ball into his own goal. Got this trophy real quick doing that."

If you only have one controller available, choose “One player” from the minigame’s main menu. When you are given the option to assemble your team, you should try to choose monkeys with high speed stats, high strength stats, and/or high kick power stats. Ideally, this will make you harder for your opponents to catch, and enable you to kick the ball higher, longer, and more forcefully. The monkeys you can choose are the actual monkeys you catch in the game, so if you’re having trouble with this trophy, try coming back later when you have captured more monkeys. This was the team I personally used to get this trophy:

From left to right:
Viv, Shiho, Nana, Simon, Jessica

This team lineup consists of monkeys that you capture relatively early in the game. There are many stronger monkeys you can use, but you won’t capture them until later in the game.

When the game starts, try to grab the ball, hold and run around the edge of the field toward the opponent’s goal. When you feel like you have a decent opening, aim the ball with the and push right as you release the ball to give it some height. It’s pretty much a requirement to use when shooting for a goal, otherwise your opponent will almost always block it.

The game is played in two halves that each last three minutes, so you have to score three goals within six minutes. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses the match – the trophy will pop as soon as you score the third goal.
