Monkey has been buzzing around doing his Monkey Lander thing for a while now and has decided to drop back down to earth from his little orange spaceship in honour of the 2006 World Cup. In fact, Monkey has gone football crazy, so get those Monkey feet in tip top shape and kick your way to the Monkey Village where all your Monkey friends will be waiting to welcome the longest kicks home!

It's easy to play Monkey kick off - simply click your left mouse button or press any key on your keyboard to have Monkey kick the ball. Remember, you need to time it just right. Here's a hint from Monkey himself:

“It's all about the laws of physics. Think speed and angle for monster kicks.”

This summer, you can also challenge your friends to beat Monkey's best kick. It's easy to do! Simply click on the Challenge Monkey button and send the link to your mates. Send it via e-mail or instant message to that special competitive someone that you really, really want to beat or post the link on your blog to challenge the world! Let your Monkey friends watch your best shot via Monkey's instant replay, and then chuckle as they attempt to beat it themselves.

Let the games begin… and may the best Monkey win!
