THE
SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND
The hero of the game is Guybrush
Threepwood, an aspiring pirate from
In order to fulfil his dream of
becoming a full-time pirate, Guybrush must first overcome the legendary
challenge of The Three Trials! This involves mastering the three most important
aspects of the pirate lifestyle - thievery, treasure hunting and sword
fighting. Eventually, with help from many, including Captain Smirk, the
Fettucini brothers and an over-obsessive shopkeeper, Guybrush earns his
'stripes' - and it isn't long before he has to call on all his 'piratey'
instincts.
Along the way, Guybrush has
managed to fall deeply in love with the Governor of Mêlée Island, Elaine
Marley. He has also struck up a less loving relationship with the most feared seaman
of the
By this time, Mêlée has been
virtually deserted and Guybrush, caught up in his emotions and keen to abuse
his newfound power as a pirate, assembles a crew, buys a ship, and sets sail
for the distant shores of
The climate and lifestyle on
Monkey Island is far removed from that of Mêlée Island, but Guybrush soon
adapts (like any pirate worth his salt should be able to), and following
various associations with the likes of Herman Toothrot and the Cannibals, he
finds the key to LeChuck's secret hideout far underground. Armed with his magic
necklace (courtesy of the Navigator's Head), Guybrush prepares to free Elaine
at last, only to learn that she's been taken all the way back to Mêlée Island,
where LeChuck intends to marry her!
On arriving back home (armed with
his ghost-pulverizing root beer solution), after ruthlessly disposing of
numerous innocent members of the undead, Guybrush bursts into the Mêlée Island
Church intent on stopping the wedding. Moments later, Elaine descends from a
rope, explaining that she'd escaped from LeChuck's grasp long ago, aided by
some of her old undead mates - two monkeys appear from under the wedding dress!
Having had his initial moment of glory taken from him, Guybrush decides to send
LeChuck firing across the night sky (root beer trick). Guybrush Threepwood and
Elaine Marley stand together and savour the brilliant spectacle.

MONKEY ISLAND
Guybrush and Elaine's relationship
has by now diminished, and they haven't seen each other in ages. Elaine is now
the Governor of Booty Island, and Guybrush has a new and ambitious dream.
He finds himself on
High on self-esteem and
determination though, Guybrush teams up with the Voodoo Lady to create a
voodoo-doll of little Largo, driving him off the island and freeing it from the
embargo. Unfortunately, just prior to
Now free to move from one island
to another, Guybrush begins his search for the map pieces. Along the way
Guybrush is temporarily reunited with Elaine (Mardi Gras), but their chances of
resuming a full-time relationship are again dashed when she realizes that Guybrush's
priorities lie with Big Whoop. Following numerous conversations, countless
calculations and huge slices of luck, Guybrush eventually finds and assembles
the four map pieces, and must now venture towards
In true pirate fashion though, he
is able to escape, and following a large explosion at LeChuck's Fortress,
awakes on
A series of voodoo-doll battles ensue,
before Guybrush sends LeChuck falling to the ground in crippling pain. LeChuck
then begins to plead with Guybrush, stating that the two are actually brothers!
Guybrush, confused, proceeds to help LeChuck to his feet and lead him out of
the cave. He is then seen as a child with his parents and his brother, Chuckie…
at The Big Whoop Fairground! LeChuck had put a strange curse on Guybrush,
instigating the 'Big Whoop' hallucination.

THE
CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND
Guybrush has long forgot the
strange happenings at 'The Big Whoop Fairground', as he finds himself stranded
at sea aboard a tiny makeshift vessel. He's recalling past glories and longing
for some food supply when, by pure coincidence, he comes across a giant ship of
the undead, lead by none other than the Demon Pirate LeChuck.
LeChuck has Elaine nearby his
ship, and once more plans to marry her and have her as his undead wife.
Unfortunately for LeChuck, the feeling is not mutual, and Elaine instead declares
her love for Guybrush Threepwood! Guybrush's delight is short-lived though, as
he is spotted and taken prisoner. Using all his acquired know-how and instinct
Guybrush again manages to escape from LeChuck, after overcoming the not very
fearsome 'Bloodnose' (Wally in disguise) and breaking through a porthole. He is
soon washed-up on
Whilst Guybrush is wandering about
on
On Plunder, Guybrush meets his old
friend the Voodoo Lady, who obviously knows about his predicament and informs
him that in order to reverse the curse, he must travel to
Finding the ring isn't as easy as
first anticipated, but, after a flurry of dodgy dealings, and several
mysterious 'deaths', the original ring is replaced by a pure one, and Elaine is
freed from the curse. All this time, LeChuck's skeletal crew of the undead have
been in search of Guybrush and Elaine, and directly after the curse is lifted,
the two are captured and taken to LeChuck's Carnival of the Damned, on
Here, LeChuck plans to send Elaine through the Roller Coaster of
Death, thus transforming her into his undead wife. Guybrush though, driven by
the force of love (and the thought of riding a roller coaster), prevails,
saving his beloved Elaine and destroying LeChuck… again. Guybrush and Elaine
marry and sail off into the
