Hints and tip for Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Crash Bandicoot 2

To get the Blue gem go to Turtle Woods Level 1 and complete

the level without hitting any boxes and you will recieve the

Blue gem

On the levels where Crash runs the opposite direction

(i.e. the boulder levels), you DO NOT have to slide under

the electric sparks. You can simply spin through them.

This makes getting through the level much easier, because

you can just concentrate on spinning the whole way rather

than alternating between spinning and sliding.

Purple Gem:

On level 20, Bee-Having, there is a checkpoint about

half-way through. On the right of the chasm is a pile

of grey boxes with NITRO boxes covering them. If you

jump to the highest level, you don't blow up, instead,

you warp to a secret level where you get the Purple Gem.

Completing the secret level is tricky, but can be done.

There are not any boxes hidden here, just the gem and

fruits.

White Gem- In level seven, right before the exit door

you'll find a step to the left of a mask that is in the box.

Jump to the stone floating in the water that has a skull

(the logo that represents poison) and that shall take to

another level where you will receive a white gem.

Green Gem- The Green gem is located in level 10. Where

the tunnel splits in two (I'm not sure if it's the first

or second time) go through the tunnel that has no apples

in it. When you come to a dead end, walk right through

the wall and keep going until you receive the green gem.

Secret room- There are extra levels in Crash 2. In order

to get them go to lebvel 13 (Bear Down), go to the end

and when you jump off the bear walk backwards and there

will be platforms over the water. Jump to the platform

in the middle and you will be transported to the secret

room where you can enter other levels to get the gems,

and you will also see the entrance to levels 26, 27.

In the second warp world, there is a white dog.

If you play with it and pet it for about five minutes,

it gives you 10 free lives.

First, get the purple gem in level 8. Then go to the

entrance of the level and jump up and down on the little

polar bear. After several times jumping on it, you'll be

awarded with 10 extra lives!
