Clear Gems
Here's how to get some of the clear gems!
3 -- Beat level in the given time (Hint: when
you go to the bonus, die right away.
This gives you more time).
17 -- Take the death route.
21 -- Take the death route.
23 -- Take the death route.
Colored Gems
Here's how to get all the colored gems!
TURTLE WOODS (Blue): Get no boxes.
THE EEL DEAL (Green): Go past the dead end in the Nitro box filled room.
PLANT FOOD (Yellow): Get no boxes and beat the timer.
BEE-HAULING (Purple): Go up the stairs of Nitro boxes.
Extra Lives
In the second warp room, go to the barking bear and jump on him until 10 extra lives come out of
him. This can only be done once.
Free Crystal
To get a crystal in the third warp room without playing a level, go back to the first warp room and
beat one of the warp tunnels. Crash will take out a crystal and toss it up but the crystal will go to
the third warp room.
Hidden Warps
Several warps are hidden througout this game. Here's how to find some of them.
1. BEAR DOWN: The small ice floe at the end of the stage.
2. AIR CRASH: The 2nd river. Don't jetski, but jump on the boxes to the platform.
3. UNBEARABLE: When the cub bucks you off, go back until you see him again.
4. HANGIN' OUT: when you drop down a hole into some eel-less water, go into the foreground
and drop down the hole. (Pssst....use R1 to make Crash pull up his legs.)
5. DIGGIN' IT: Near the end there is a spitter plant on a circular platform. Bellyflop onto it.
6. TURTLE WOODS: When you find the stone face in the ground, belly flop on it to enter a
bonus-type level. Be careful though as you can die in this one.
More Extra Lives
When you are on the 4th floor with the vortexes, get into the level with the bees. Instead of going
underground to avoid the bees, hit all 5 of them away.(it takes practice) If done correctly, you
should receive two lives, if done again, one more life will be given. Do this as much as you wish.
Playing Tip for Totally Bear
When playing Level 26, Totally Bear, use the long jump (O or R1 button and X button) when
riding the bear. This allows you to jump farther than on regular bear levels like Bear It and Bear
Down. Without out the long jump, you can't get past any of the jumps. Bueno Suerte!
Secret Levels
When Crash's sister says "Make yourself useful and get batteries for my computer," wait and a
bonus stage will appear.
Right before the first "Check Point" box in Turtle Woods there is an octagon on the ground with a
menacing face. Belly-flop onto the face and Crash will fall right through it into a new level.
In the "UNBEARABLE" level, when the second bear falls off the bridge, go back and jump into
the space where he fell. This should take you to a level with turtles and enemies who shoot at you.
Yellow Gem Time Saver
When trying to beat the clock on level 11 (PLANT FOOD), get to the bonus ? lifter. Start the
bonus and fall down the first gap after the boxes and TNT. This will allow you to start at 1 minute,
24 seconds. Continue the level and if you finish in that time which is fairly easy, the yeallow gem is
yours after entering the teleporter room that takes you back to the warp room. Don't forgot to grab
it.
