- So, what is the secret of Monkey Island?
- That the giant Monkey head is actually the head of an Humongous Mecha.
- Presumably the title of the first game referred to the giant Monkey head leading to Houston, but the sequels did reveal more. (i.e. the tunnel to Dinky Island in MI2) -macroscopic
- A Running Gag.
- An adventure game.
- Oh, look, a three-headed monkey!
- In Curse, LeChuck admits even he doesn't know.
- Word of God: Ron Gilbert said in an interview that his original idea was that the Secret is that the pirates' whole world is just a ride in a theme park. Hence the ending to Monkey Island 2.
