Since the beginning of time, there have been ancient treasures hidden in areas for certain others to find. Some believe that the gods have hid them in a way to test people's abilities, and those abilities determine who was chosen to find them. Deep underground, there are secret powers and gateways to different realms. On the island, Tropica, a group of monkey treasure hunters, the Tropicans, are fascinated by the history. Many years ago, they were determined to uncover these secrets, but the leader decided to put a stop to treasure hunting. Everyone's determination resulted to greed and violence. Now, everyone has agreed to only explore the areas that are allowed to collect goods for their form of trade. All other areas underground are now prohibited, and the Tropicans are expected to help one another.
There is one Tropican who doesn't show much interest in treasure hunting, and that is Mike Monkey. Instead, he has a passion for something entirely different, basketball. He came a long way, and he has shown a lot of strength to make his victories. There is, however, a Tropican who could never let treasure hunting rest, and that is Mike's cousin, Chester. Chester is a wanted criminal. He collects goods only for himself, and he explores in the zones that are not allowed. Unfortunately, he is too clever to be caught. Eventually, he came across a portal that leads to a dinosaur realm. He opened the gateway to another time period in which another treasure hunter, King Dino, was searching for a portal to a new land. Dino predicted that the end of the dinosaur age would come, so he and his followers, the Dinos, grouped together in hope to search for eternal life.
Now, Chester has agreed to let the Dinos into Tropica, and in return, King Dino will let him in on the treasures he found. Tropica has been taken over by the Dinos. Now there is a struggle over land. Mike, and his friends, Buster and Abigail, have agreed to fight back and win victory over the land they worked very hard to protect. Perhaps this is when Mike realizes what his strength was really meant to do.
