He is an old ape with white hair. The Ape is a seasoned melee fighter and is a little bulkier than other characters.
The ape is trying to kill their father's Italian captor, a task he failed when he was a child.
The Ape starts with an extra heart and has a larger hitbox than the other characters. When holding the barrel or banana gun he receives a small damage boost. He also has a distrust for mustachioed characters and growls at them (no effect on gamepplay).
Melee weapon: quick jabs, can be charged to shoot a barrel projectile
