** Arguably the best display of his wits was when he faces off against the Golden and Silver Horned Kings. Outmatched due to the antagonists' use of powerful magical artefacts, Wukong outwits them instead. He gradually infiltrates their lair for more information. Even after he's repeatedly subdued by those magical artefacts, Wukong always escaped and systematically stole those artefacts and used them against the demons instead.

* Across the entire series I guess we are supposed to marvel at Sun Wukong's fighting abilities that put him above most opponents. While impressive, what makes the series really shine (and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments amuses too]]) is when Wukong uses his wits instead of might to defeat his opponents:
** Facing off against the three Demon Taoist Priests in the Kingdom of Chechi. Instead of using his powers to expose the demons and force them into submission right from the start, out of his own amusement he takes the longer route of toying with them instead. He subtly goaded the demons into contests with increasingly higher stakes, and resorted to trickery to get them killed at their own game.

** On a similar vein, Wukong couldn't defeat the demon who wielded a set of 3 powerful magical bells, so naturally his solution is (With Bajie's help) to engage in a long series of deception with the demon and steal the bells from him.
