A GOOD conclusion to all the holes!!!

That's impossible. In Monkey Island 4, they totally messed up while trying to explain the plot. The game says that Carla, Otis and Meathook were stranded on Monkey Island and had to escape. When you get to MI however, Herman Toothrot is there, because he'd been left behind.

 

This is a major flaw in the plot, and the reason for this stems from the fact that there are 2 possible endings of Monkey Island. If you accidently blast the boat you came in on with a rock, your three crewmates get left behind at the end. If you do not, Herman gets left behind. The way they explained it in MI4 does not ahere to either of the two pathways created, but instead tries to link them in some way. I doubt making another MI game would explain everything correctly, although I'd still buy it :).

There are like a thousand.

 

The biggest being the Giant Monkey Head... In 1 it was just a door to under the Island, in 3 it was a rollercoaster (still following the continuity of 1, though, as it just went to the lava pit under the island... though with the added characteristic that it makes you an evil undead pirate), and then in 4... the giant monkey robot? 4 just screwed up all of Monkey Island layout wise.

 

Someone could still do something insanely clever to explain away many of the plotholes (something that does not involve "there are 2 Monkey Islands!" or anything involving multiple dimensions).

 

Telarium once suggested a really good story twist to me which he made up. It explains away a lot, and is pretty funny... but I wont explain here. :D
