Sky Flyer
The Sky Flyer, known in Japan as the Tobitonbo (トビトンボ), is a Gadget that is present in almost every Ape Escape game to date. It allows the user to hover up to high places they normally couldn't reach, as well as glide to far away platforms.
Usage[]
Ape Escape 1-3[]
To use the Sky Flyer, equip it and rotate the right analog stick clockwise or counter clockwise (depending on preference) to launch up into the air. Continue to rotate the right analog stick to glide downwards for as long as you want.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale[]

The Sky Flyer appears as a movement ability for Spike in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. To use the Sky Flyer, either jump or double jump, then press and hold the jump button (
by default) for Spike to equip it and slowly descend to the ground.
