Monkey Fingers

First featured in Pump It Up The PREX 3, the track is a clear example of BanYa's signature high-tempo techno and hardcore. Its 165 BPM lend a light, fast-moving feel, while the melody, cheerful yet faintly unhinged, is its most memorable trait. The name is no accident: it pictures the "monkey fingers" a player needs to keep pace.

Since PREX 3 it has appeared at several difficulties, most of them faithful to that premise: rapid stepping, runs, and bursts of repeated notes. It remains in rotation through XX and PHOENIX, mainly across the beginner-to-intermediate range. The Single chart, an honest run that tracks the song's rhythm closely, is frequently recommended as a practice piece. The Double chart, by contrast, folds in left-to-right movement that pushes its perceived difficulty above other songs at the same level.

The song received a follow-up in "Monkey Fingers 2," introduced in Pump It Up Zero, which carries over the mood of the original while accelerating the arrangement even further. Given its age, the BGA is one of those simple videos typical of early Pump It Up. Thanks to its name and style, it stays a recurring favorite in conversations among BanYa fans.
