Hi! Call me Monkey!

Hello there, you can call me Monkey!

In this game, you'll just press A to hit the ball as it flies toward you.

All you need to do in this game is press A to get a hole in one. Simple!

Easy, right? But you'll see the timing is the tricky part.

Well, it sounds easy but your timing has to be extremely accurate.

Let me show you what i mean. Give it a try!

Why don't we just give it a try?

Here it comes!

Are you ready?

Wait for it...

Let me see you swing that club!

Yup! Nice job!

Ook! You swing well. Like a monkey, in fact!

Sorry, sorry!

Ook! I'm sorry!

It's kind of hard without any kind of cue, huh?

I should've known it would be too hard without a signal.

[N/A. The UK version added an extra line here.]

But at least now you understand how critical timing is.

You see what I mean with the timing being tricky, right?

So, did you learn how important timing is to your swing?

Now let's try it with a little rhythm!

Let's try it to a beat this time!

Nice! Just like that!

Ook! That's the way!

Close! Your swing was a little early there.

Almost! You were just a little too early.

Close! Your swing was a little late there.

Nearly! You were just a little too late.

So how was that? Much easier than before, right?

Ook! Ook! It was easier than before, wasn't it?

Hellooooo!

Ooh! Ooh!

It's my friend, Mandrill! (He's a mandrill.)

What's up, Mando?

Can I play too?

Mandrill wanna try too!

You can't do it like that, Mandrill.

Steady on, Mando!

It's hard to hit the ball if you fling it with no warning.

You can't just throw any balls without warning.

You have to give a cue or something.

You have to give a signal first.

Oh. Right. Yeah. Sorry about that.

Ooh... really?

I forgot it's your first time playing.

Mandrill sorry he gave no signal.

This time I'll give you a good cue. Let's try again.

Next time Mandrill give signal, OK?

Er, yeah. Let's try it again.

Sorry about that.

This time Mandrill will make a noise as he throws the ball, OK?

Let's give him another chance.

Good. You're getting the fastballs too.

Ook! You can even hit his fast balls!

Can you feel it? Are you "riding the rhythm"? Feels good, huh?

You understand the importance of rhythm now, don't you?

All right, let's review.

Let's try one last practice to see if you got it.

So Mando and I will switch off and toss balls at you, OK?

Mando and I will take turns throwing balls to you.

All right!

Yes!

Practice is over.

That's enough practice.

Now let's do the real thing!

Now let's try your swing out for real.

We'll be checking the inner part too.

We have to test close to the middle too.

You won't go as high here, so it goes a little faster.

You won't launch as high from the middle.

Great! No problems with the inner part!

This see-saw seems fine in the middle too.

We'll keep checking, though. You can never be too safe!
