Monkey's Paradise is an arcade minigame developed in 1984 by Degenatron. It is available to play in the Arcade in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description[]

The game was previously available to play on an "emulator" on the degenatron.com teaser site for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City before being added as an arcade machine in GTA Online.

The game is a side-scrolling game similar to Pitfall!, in which you control a red square "monkey" swinging from green dots. The player must swing at the correct time (when the red square is to the right) or else the square will fall and lose a life. If the player loses all three lives, it is Game Over.

Challenges[]

In GTA Online, there are three challenges available in this arcade game. Special T-shirts will be awarded to the player if they manage to complete each one of them.

Aquatic Ape[]

This challenge requires the player to complete the underwater level, which is the second level. There's no trick here; simply continue playing until you time the swing correctly in order to complete the second level.

Completing this challenge awards the player the Monkey's Paradise Tee.

Psychonaut Challenge[]

This is a secret challenge that requires the player to glitch the game and get on the top 10 leaderboard. First hit the Monkey's Paradise cabinet by pressing Circle (PS4), B (Xbox One) or BACKSPACE (PC) right in front of it, this will glitch the game. Now simply score at least 100 points while the game is glitching out to get into the top 10 leaderboard.

Completing this challenge awards the player the Degenatron Glitch Tee.

Retro Master[]

This challenge requires the player to complete the challenges for Defender of the Faith, Monkey's Paradise and Penetrator. Check the challenge description of each of these three arcade games and complete all of them to finish this challenge.

Completing this challenge awards the player the Defender of the Faith Tee.
