Ape Escape verse BIG upgrades

The Ape Escape series is in need of speed and strength buffs that apply to at least Spike and Specter.

Strength
So there's one feat at the end of Ape Escape 2 where the protagonist is able to survive an explosion that occurs on the moon. A friend had calced it quite a while ago, but neither of us could find the calc again. Hence why I requested it be calced not too long ago. It still needs to be looked over and accepted, but I do remember it yielding similar results - https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:KGiffoni/Ape_Escape_moon_explosio

(Update: This calc has been checked and accepted!)

Then in Ape Escape 3, Specter plots to split the planet in half with his MASSIVE doomsday device, the SARU 003. And when I say massive, I MEAN MASSIVE. Shown at 29:59 of this video https://youtu.be/wUo1BkgzFq0?t=29m59s The SARU 003 appears to be the size of the moon even despite it being quite a large distance away. Considering how perspective works. It's CLEARLY much bigger. At 34:13 of the video https://youtu.be/wUo1BkgzFq0?t=34m13s we see Dr. Tomoki, or "Mr. Afro" (A character that Specter is no doubt superior to physically) in the SARU 003 as it self-destructs. But at 11:50 of THIS video https://youtu.be/t_-ULh_TwTA?t=11m50s it's revealed he actually survived!

So for AP and Durability upgrades, I'd suggest "At least Continent level, likely much higher.

Possible Argument: "In the cutscene after the self-destruct, Monkey Pink says she rescued the crew and went with Specter."

Answer: By this time, Dr. Tomoki had betrayed Specter and was no longer part of their crew. We do not see Tomoki at all on the way to the REAL final battle. The next time we see him after the self destruct is when it's revealed in the credits that he survived.

Speed
Aside from monkeys commonly wielding laser based weapons that can be dodged and avoided, we can also take a look at Galaxy Monkey!

Within 2 and a half minutes, this monkey pilots a UFO across the entire solar system all the way to Earth. Most of the planets it passes are unidentifiable, but Saturn can be recognized. Saturn is about 932 million miles from Earth. So piloting this UFO that distance at that speed while also reacting to, and aiming towards enemies should result in speeds of at least 22.3 billion miles per hour. (About 33x the Speed of light)

This is only a minigame, but these same UFO's do exist and can be flown by monkeys in the main game. Spike is able to react to them and even shoot or chase them down himself.

So speed should be upgraded to FTL+

Updates

 
We preferably need a calculation blog for this.
 
Calculations have been added to this thread's beginning and most have been accepted. So I think this should all be good to go
 
The accepted calculations can probably be applied.
 
Aight. I'll apply the upgrades to the verse in the morning. So there will still be a little more time in case anyone wants to chime in and add something.
