Anyways, it appears that Sony's branching out the Ape Escape series into the competitive mascot racing genre. While details are scarce, it appears that what separates this game from other mascot racers is that the monkeys don't drive go-karts... they ARE the go-karts. Maybe the development team was inspired by the upcoming Transformers movie, but this diagram should explain it all:
Check out the official Japanese website to get more details and screenshots.

I'm more interested in the Namco racer... More familiar mascots.
Ape Escape is one of those things the Japanese are more into - the whole 'Saru' phenomenon (funny monkeys).

When I first heard of this game, I thought "uncool", but it actually looks pretty cool.
I might buy it...
