Marylin Monrilla

The **Marylin Monrilla** is the ninth gorilla that the player can befriend. Like all other boss animals, it can only be befriended after the player completes a certain amount of missions followed by a minigame. After that it can be found permanently in the stampede.

## Appearance

The Marylin Monrilla has dark, dull purple fur, and wears a pink dress. The sleeves and bust have a sequined pattern lining the edge: a beige stripe and a green stripe with lighter green sparkle decals. The Marylin Monrilla's face includes many notable features, including red lipstick applied in a pompous fashion, magenta hearts replacing the pupils of the eyes and a blonde, short, upward-curling wig, complete with a pink and green bow. The hands of the Marylin Monrilla are covered in a white and light grey mesh pattern, resembling either gloves or nylon stockings.

## Tips for Boss Mission

This boss mission, identical to the Volcanorilla's, is possibly one of the hardest in the game. Initially when the player slams into the boss mission area, they will see the Marylin Monrilla ahead in a non-threatening area, which is easy to jump on. The player is faced with trees and spiked rocks; the Marylin Monrilla can use trees to vault but cannot touch spiked rocks. From there it is trickier, with diagonal rows of spiked rocks and indestructible trees which the player has to use to clear the spiked rocks, fields of spiked rocks with small gaps which the player can move through and rivers with four alligators that the player cannot jump over without losing the Marylin Monrilla on the other side with two trees on the near side to clear the river. In order to clear the diagonal rows of spiked rocks, the player has to angle the Marylin Monrilla to be perpendicular to the spiked rocks when running up to the tree so that when the Marylin Monrilla vaults the tree they will make it over the diagonal spiked rocks rather than crash into one of the rocks. All other aspects are easier, the diagonal rows of spiked rocks are the most difficult part. Once the player has passed them, everything else should be easy.
