------------------------| TURTLE WOODS |-------------------------------
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
A failry easy enough level to start out with. You can kill those mouses
any way you want really. Jump over the fallen statue, run across the mud
(you wont fall too far down and die) Avoid the next few pits and grab
the health and hit the checkpoint. The turtles should either be hit on
the head, or just left fully alone. If you feel game, then hit them, if
not, leave them. Jump across the next mud puddle, avoid the pits and
tutrles and hit the next checkpoint. Hit the next crates and grab the
health. Spin the animals and the mushroom come sup, bounce off of it. Do
the same to the next pit. Jump across the next mud puddle, and there is
the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
This is the coloured gem (blue). To get this, what you must do is not
hit any crate throughout the level. So don't hit checkpoints, health, or
anything. When at the second checkpoint, go as close to the crates as
you can, then make a big jump over. Get to the end and you have your
gem.

SECOND GEM:
Break all of the crates in the level. This includes the bonus area and
the skull platforms. When you get to the flamingo things, jump  on them,
then slide and jump off to reach the platform up high. Otherwise, the
rest of the level seems pretty easy enough to get the gem in.
                           _________
---------------------------| SNOW GO |---------------------------------
                           ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
Grab the health, hit the penguins, jump across the pits, slide across
the ice avoiding the nitros and dodge the seals by jumping when they
come down. Avoid the nitros in the next sliding section, then jump on
the platform. Hit the penguing, run underneath the slammer and hit the
crates. Hit the checkpoint, ignore the red gem (because you can't get
it) yet. Avoid the stumps, hit the penguin when he isn't spinning. Do
the bonus if you want, and hit the checkpoint. Grab the healthy before
it. Keep running forward, and grab the crystal after the penguins.

FIRST GEM:
Hit all of the crates. Pretty easy enough, remember to do the bonus area
and don't leave until you have all of the crates. When you drop down
from the side camera angle, be sure to turn back and hit the ! box to
explode all nitros.

SECOND GEM:
Get the secret area in level 7. To do this, when you arrive at the
Jetski, jump and use the boxes to get across. Then avoid the nitros,
grab the health and extra life. At the end, jump down and you will get
the red gem. Don't miss it.
                       ____________
-----------------------| HANG EIGHT |----------------------------------
                       ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
Keep jumping across the pits. When the platform comes up, jump on it
then quickly run across to the other side. Hit the checkpoint, get in
the water. Don't go to fast so that you can avoid the mines and the
wirlpools. At the end, hit the checkpoint. Do the bonus if you want. Get
rid of the plants by jumping and spinning them. There will be the
cyrstal.

FIRST GEM:
Break all of the crates. To make this possible, first off you will need
to get the blue gem from turtle woods. See turtule woods for infomration
on that. In the secret area is the crates that you need to complete the
level. Thats usually what is missing.

SECOND GEM:
Beat the timer. Just get in the Jetski and keep on pressing the X button
to speed up. Keep doing that. Actualy, go into the bonus area and the
timer wont be there any more, but when you complete the level, the gem
will still be there. Wierd.
                            __________
----------------------------| THE PITS |-------------------------------
                            ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Too easy. Either avoid the turtles with the spikes on them, or bop them
on the head. Grab the health, jump over the bird and jump over the holes
in the ground. Farly easy enough to do, and you shouldn't die here. Hit
the next checkpoint, and grab the next health. When you get to the
split, take the left. Slide the turtle with the razor on it's back. Keep
running up dodging the birds and whatever over enemies and grab the
crystal.

GEM:
Make sure you take both ways here. Go one way, then trail back and take
the next way, but watch out for enemies, they can sometimes pop up on
you when you are going backwards. Well, thats about it. Oh wait, near
the end of the level, hit the turle on the head and hold down X. That
will get you that crate up high. No second gem in this level.
                         ____________
-------------------------| CRASH DASH |--------------------------------
                         ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
From the start )of you haven't figured it out already) head towards the
screen, which is down. Yoiu will eventually be chased by a big boulder.
The best atctic here is to just keep on running. If you are just going
for the crystal, ignore the crates and everything. Go straight. The
mines don't actually kill you, but they slow you down alot, so avoid
them if possible, but if you do hit one, then it really doesn't matter,
the boulder is slower than you. Just keep jumping over the pits, and
after awhile the nitros will appear on the left of the screen. Follow
the trail of wumpa fruits to get past the electric fences. When the
boulder falls down the birdge, the crystal will be after it.

GEM:
Very hard, because of the stupid camera view. Take it slowly, well, try
to, but the boulder might keep you from doing that. If you do miss one,
purposely die and go back and get uit. Thankfully most of the crates are
not when being chased. Get the ones next to the checkpoints, because you
will be safe to do so. near the end you will need to go near the electri
fences and quickly spin the boxes. At the end there is no going back.
                     ____________
---------------------| RIPPER ROO |------------------------------------
                     ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

BATTLE:
An easy boss battle this. He will first put down the TNTs. Easily avoid
them, because you can usually tell where he is going to put them. Stay
near the first one he puts down, but not too close, because he probably
will run out of TNTs and the nitros to make it one big loop, so you
should be safe there. Once he lays the ntiros, spin him. Do this three
times and you win. Be sure not to hit the nitros or the TNTs.
                      __________
----------------------| SNOW BIZ |-------------------------------------
                      ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Slide across the ice and hit the eonguing and the seal while jumping
over the pits. Grab the extra life from in there with the TNTs. Avoid
the pits by missing them if they are on the left or right, and jump over
them if they are in the way. Spin the penguings as they come down and
take the platform up. Hit the checkpoint. Kill the hedgehogs when they
don't have the spikes up. It is better to slide them. Avoid the
stompers, run across the ice and avoid the breaking bits of ice above.
When the breaking ice is above sliding ice, keep moving and it will miss
you. Get the lifer at the end and hit the checkpoint. Avoid the whells
by jumping over when they are not coming down. After the ice is the
crystal.

GEM:
To get the gem, you must break all boxes in the level. Get the red gem
first in Snow go, then you can get the rest of the boxes. Take the
platform and hit all of the boxes in there. Otherwise, it is pretty
simple enough to do. The bonus area holds alot to, so get them all in
there also.
                      ___________
----------------------| AIR CRASH |------------------------------------
                      ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Failry easy enough level, but it has it's hard points in it. Make sure
you have the right timings and land on the platforns. Jump and spin the
plants, and it the very first checkpoint. Avoid the mines in the water,
and go between the nitro crates and land safely. Hit the next
checkpoint. Jump across and get the health. Jump and spin the plants and
grab the life from in the middle of the nitros. At the end will be the
crystal.

FIRST GEM:
Take the secret route. There is a skull and crossbones platform near the
end of the level that you must take, and at the very end of it will be
the gem. grab it.

SECOND GEM:
Alot of the crates are in the water, some will require you to ump and
and get using crash, and others can be hit using the jetski pretty easy
enough, I say. The bonus area dnt eh secret route do account for crates
also, so get them from in there also.
                           _________
---------------------------| BEAR IT |---------------------------------
                           ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Ah, here you get to ride the bear. Your skill here sets the difficulty.
Ride the bear and jump over the pits that cover from one side to
another. if the pit is one one side, then avoid it. Go around the
statues also, and jump over the fallen ones. Thats really all there is
to this level. Hit the checkpoint and shortly after that will be the
crystal.

GEM:
This can be quite hard to get, but once again, it depends on your skill.
All of the crates need to be gotten when on the bear, so you will need
to often quickly dash left and to the right hitting the crates when they
come. If you miss afew, then purposely die, it isn't hard using the
bear.
                         _____________
-------------------------| CRASH CRUSH |-------------------------------
                         ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Another chasing level. Once again it is a boulder. Head down, and watch
out for the mines. If you hit them, you will not die, you will just be
slown downabiot and the boulder will catch up to you, which is of course
bad, since you are trying to get away from it. Alide under the electric
fence. When you come to a fork, go back to get some extra things. If you
don't want them, then continue forwad. Avoid the mines, dlie undet the
electric fences and avoid the nitros that are on the right. Keep sliding
under the eletric parts, avoid the nitros. You really don't need to take
those boosts up. After the bonus area is the crystal.

GEM:
Not much to say, slow down and try to hit te crates. If you miss one, it
might be good to die on purpose. Otherwise, there isn't much to say
about the rest. Well, do the bonus area and also go back when you come
to the fork to take the other route.
                          ______________
--------------------------| THE EEL DEAL |---------------------------
                          ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
Jump in the water (which doesn't electrify, kill the sewer sweepers by
spinning them and sliding under the fans. Hit the first checkpoint and
run across the water when it isn't electrfied, and jump on the platforms
whenever because they are not affected by whats going on below you. Jump
on the sewer mice. When you come to the two way section, head with the
wumpa fruit to your left. Run under the fans, hit the sewer mice on the
head, and when you come to the second split section, once again head to
your left. There the crystal will be.

FIRST GEM
At the first section where you can go three ways, go the way on the
right. Pass all of the nitros by hitting the one in the middle then
bouncing over. Jump over the next lot of nitros and go through the door.
Jump out onto the platforms and at the end will be a gem. Nice.

SECOND GEM:
Crates are all over the place in this level. There are secret ways to
go, and some have some crates that you need to get. This will be a very
big and long level that you need to get all of them from. It will sure
take you awhile. Remember to take every path possible and get the crates
and all that sort of stuff.
                           _____________
---------------------------| KOMODO BROS |-----------------------------
                           ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
BATTLE:
Easy, very easy. Seriously. The first brother, in the middle of the room
will throw swords. This is not really aiming at you, soyou can easily
dodge the swords by being where they are not. Once the end of that
happens, the middle brother will spin the one on the outside. Avoid the
guy spinning, and then spin him yourself and he will slide off and hit
his brother in the middle. Repeat. The third time he will throw swords
and then spin. Easily avoid the swords and the brother, then spin him
and you are done. Three hits and the battle is complete.
                           ____________
---------------------------| PLANT FOOD |------------------------------
                           ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Get the timing right and jump over to the first platform. Jump across
and spin the plant. Jump across to the next two platforms, remember to
get your timing right, otherwise crash will drown, and we don't want
that, now do we? Anyway, hit the first checkpoint after the steps. Get
onto the jetski. Use the cross button to speed up and get past the
wirlpool, as well as getting past the mines. Don't be sucked in. Hit the
next checkpoint, get the next crates and jump into the next jetski. Make
sure you have health for this next bit. Avoid the plants by going the
opposite side of them and pressing the speed up button. Continue to the
end, and get the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
When the timer starts, continually press the cross button to speed up
really fast. Get to the bonus area before the ime runs out, then do it
and you are guaranteed a gem.

SECOND GEM:
Crates are everywhere in the level. Most of them you can see, and are
pretty easy to get, so getting the gem in this level is actually quite
easy enough to do. Use the jetski to hit the crates. If you do
accidently get in the jetski when you maybe left some crates behind,
then purposely die. Some you will need to do a jump to get. use the
speed up to do a massive jump and get those crates.
                        ________________
------------------------| SEWER OR LATER |-----------------------------
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Run forward, jump in the water, spin away the sewer sweepers. Wait to
the guy stops firing the flamethrower, then run up and spin him away.
Avoid the barrles and jump across to the next statue. Get good timing on
the next platform, then run and spin open the checkpoint and health.
Keep running forwrad, hit the sewer mice and do the bonus if you want.
Spin away a sewer sweeper one at a time to get rid of parts of the fan.
Grab some more health and hit the next checkpoint. Spin the sewer
sweeper into the TNTs and head to the left. Get the crystal from the
end.

FIRST GEM:
There is a pltform on the ground that is yellow, which means that you
need to grab the yellow gem from a different level to get this first
gem. I have no idea where the Yellow gem is, so once you get it, then
you must return to here and take this route, I am pretty sure the gem is
in here.

SECOND GEM:
No real big secret paths in this level, so most of the crates will
actually be easy to get. Some will be out over the water, so hit them
when it isn't electrified. Not much else to say about this gem.
                        ___________
------------------------| BEAR DOWN |----------------------------------
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
Start off by running down and getting on the bear. This is just like the
other bear level, which is called "Bear it." Just jump over the pits and
make sure that you don't fall in the water at the same time. Hit the
crates and all as you go along. Avoid the statues by going around them,
and jump where the whale isn't going to come up at the time you go over
the water pits. As soon as you land sometimes you will need to quickly
jump. Hit the checkpoint. Avoid the guys with the blocks. You can
usually tell where the locks are going to be when you come to it, so
make your choice then. Hit the next checkpoint. Get the crystal on the
left side, near a pit.

GEM:
Controlling the bear to getting all of the crates will be very hard, so
you will need to try alot of times to try and get this gem. Don't go too
fast, and remember that it is okay to die if you forgot one of the
crates. Try and move the bear from side to side really quickly.
                        ______________
------------------------| ROAD TO RUIN |-------------------------------
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Failry hard level. Start off by jumping across to the lonely platform,
then jumping onto the mouse. Jump across to the next section, spin the
crates out of the way and jump to the next section. Camera change. Don't
worry, that thing wont spit fire at you yet. Jump over the TNT and grab
some health. Hit the mice. You have to slide whatever the hell that
thing is. COntinue to jump over sliding those things. Avoid the fire
coming out of the head. Jump over the fire coming out of the head where
the platforms fall down when you touch them. Then hit the checkpoint.
Next to teh checkpoint in the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
Find the skull and crossbones platform. To get to this, you must not die
in the level at all until this stage. Once you are there, go on it and
it will take you to another place. If you die during the level, you will
have to restart if you want to use this skull and crossbones platform.
Go to the end of it and you get a gem.

SECOND GEM:
The main few secret crates are the ones at the beginning. I'm not sute
what switch exactly you need to hit for them to appear, but it is one of
them. When you press a switch, run back to the start if you are trying
to get the gem and hit those crates. Otherwise, battle through the level
normally hitting crates when you see them.
                      _____________
----------------------| UN-BEARABLE |----------------------------------
                      ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Another running away from something level. Use your skills from the
other running away levels to get past this one. The main skill you will
need is to run away. Avoid the mines and the nitros and the bear will
start chasing you. Spin open the fences or slide them open, and they
will break. Slide under the electric fences. Continue avoiding the pits,
spinning open the fences and at the checkpoint will be a crystal.

GEM:
Same as usual, really. Just try and take it slow and spin the crates
when you see them. If you miss one, then accidently die or something.
Not all of the crates are really hard to get here. Some my still cause a
big problem, though.
                      ________________
----------------------| TINY THE TIGER |-------------------------------
                      ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
BATTLE:
Very hard battle, but what do you expect from this far in the game. Tiny
doesn't do much, all you and him do is jump on platforms. After awhile,
afew will go down. Jump to the ones thta re not flashing and stay on it.
Hopefully, Tiny will fall down and you wont. Everytime he falls down, he
loses some health. Repeat 3 times, but make sure that you don't die.
                       _____________
-----------------------| HANGIN' OUT |---------------------------------
                       ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Run and spin the flaming guy when he is not shooting flame at you. Run
into the tunnel and avoid the sewer sweepers coming at you. Easily jump
them, or just leave them alone and they will usually miss you. Go across
where the barrles go when they are not there. Go into the next section,
drop down and get the checkpoint. Jump up and swing all the way across.
Avoid the mines in the tunnel, come out to the next bit and swing all
the way across. Go into the next tunnel and jump over the mines that are
going up and down. WHen they are down, jump over them. Drop down, hit
the checkpoint and grab the crystal.

GEM:
This is them you get from breaking all of the crates. Not much to say
here really, if you see a crate, then break it. Do the bonus section,
explore different ways, and really it's as simple as that.
                       ____________
-----------------------| DIGGIN' IT |----------------------------------
                       ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Avoid the bombs being spurt out by the plant. Either go around them, or
just jump in the air. You cannot kill the plant, so you will just have
to let it live. More plants spit stuff at you. Well, just jump over the
bombs. Jump onto the little island when a bomb isn't there and jump over
quickly. Watch out for mines. Avoid those head things and hit the
checkpoint. Remember that the mines wont kill you, they just get you
airbourne. Alide under the elctric fences and go through the next lot
when they are not electirc. Watch out for the bombs. Keep avoding the
bombs, do the bonus if you want to and hit the checkpoint. Go to the
right. Keep running forward, past the bees. Just keep on moving, avoid
the mines and jump across the pit. You will need good timing for this
next part. Go past the bee hive when you think the lasers wont be coming
across. If they are across, then use a super jump to get over them. Spin
away the bee at the next seciton, and hit the checkpoint. Go underground
at the next section, and grab the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
Get to the skull and crossbones platform. To open it up, you must not
die at all during this level. If you do die, then you will need to go
back to the warp room and start the level all over again and get to the
platform. The platform is near the start of where the bees start chasing
you.

SECOND GEM:
You see a crate, spin it. Get them all and you get a reward.
                      _________________
----------------------| COLD HARD CRASH |------------------------------
                      ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
From the start, ump to the little island, jump across, hit the penguins
coming down. Spin away the next few penguins by the staircase section
(well it looks like.) Jump across to the next platform and to the ice.
Spin away the seals coming down, thats if they do come down. Jump across
and quickly jump again ignoring the penguin and get to the platform.
Camera changes. Hit the checkpoint. Run down and avoid the stompers.
Avoid the ice falling from above also. Do the bonus area if you want.
Hit the switch, run back up, grab some health and jump up and spin away
the penguin. Keep running across, dlie down the slopes and collect the
fruit. Spin the penguin. Keep going along, kill the hedghog and hit the
checkpoint by making a huge leap. Hit the next hedgehog as well. Avoid
the nitros and hit the penguins. Slide along the ice quickly, and drop
down. Hit the checkpoint, avoid the nitros and get the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
Skull and crossbone plaform. Take it.

SECOND GEM:
Afew tips for this one. The first is when you take up the platform to
the second part of the level, don't take it until you have searched back
and know that you have got every single crate, because there is no going
back once you get on that platform. Alos, there are 4 switches somewhere
that you need to press that will open up four crates for you to smash.
                          ___________
--------------------------| RUINATION |--------------------------------
                          ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
Avoid the first head shooting out fire, hit the crates, but not the
nitro crate. If you hit that, you will be sorry. Run across and hit the
mouse. Avoid whatever the hell that thing is, or slide it. Jump across
and hit the checkpoint. Avoid that thing and hit the monkey, but don't
hit the TNT. Do not touch the switch. Hit the checkpoint. Run across
when there is no fire coming from the heads. Jump to the moving
platforms. Grab some health and hit the checkpoint. Hit the Tnt, then
move back and it will hopefully kill that thing. If not, slide it. This
next bit is hard. Jump across to the moving platform when it is very
close to you, then stay on it and jump to the next when it is closest to
you. Jump across and in the covered section will be the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
Get the green gem from Eel Deal first, and then return to this level.
The platform will now be open for you to take. At the end of the section
will be a gem. Grab the gem.

SECOND GEM:
Hit all of the crates in the level. When the mouses are on the platforms
with the ! box to explode the nitros in the middle, you will need to
jump across and hit it.
                         ____________
-------------------------| BEE-HAVING |--------------------------------
                         ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
Heh, nice level name! Really imaginative. So crash goes into a pile of
bees to get this crystal. Lets walk you through it. Run over and slide
or spin the first enemy. Jump over and grab some health. Keep running
past the two beehives, then jump across and dive into the ground. Avoid
the nitros when underground and jump across and hit the checkpoint.
Slide under the eletric fence. Jump across and dive intop the ground by
pressing square. Jump across the nitros then return underground. Avoid
the head. Do a super jump over the first eletric fence, then slide and
jump under the second one. Hit the next checkpoint. Jump across the next
pit, and hiot the guy with the hammer as you are going into the ground.
You can't get hurt when doing this, and it may get rid of some of the
bees. Continue up, (the nitros are fake) Avoid the head thing and jump
across and move out the way of the explosions from the plants. Hit the
checkpoint, jump across to tnext platform, then quickly back onto safe
land. Keep moving past the first set of bees, then use the speed up and
quickly slide underneath the eletric fence. Avoid explosions. Keep
running to the next checkpoint. Up ahead past the next set of bee hives
will be the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
Break all of the crates. Get the ones that are in your way, alos do the
basic bonus area.

SECOND GEM:
Absolutely no idea. Searched around and I couldn't find anything to get
the second gem in the levl. Ah well, you are on your own for this one,
sorry.
                              _______
------------------------------| N GIN |--------------------------------
                              ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

BATTLE:
Ooh, lasers! Just so you know, you can throw wumpa fruit at where the
attck will be coming from to hurt the machine, and get rid of N Gin.
When the battle begins, continuously throw wumpa fruit at the laser
parts on the left and the right of the machine. Make one of them fall
off, then he will most likely do an attack. Jump the laser. Then, shoot
the other one off. Next, missiles. Shoot them with the wumpa fruit. Get
them both to fall off, then he uses one last attack where a platform
falls down from his attack. When he pops up, shoot afew wumpa fruit then
quickly jump over to another platform before you die! Repeat afew times
and you will defeat his last attack and his machine.
                           ________________
---------------------------| PISTON IT AWAY |--------------------------
                           ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
New sets of enemies here. A space warp room also. Okay, now lets grab
the crystal. Avoid the smahsers and slide whatever the hell those things
are. Take the "Elevator" up and alise the next thing. Go through the
next lot of smahsers when the first lot are up and the second lot are
down. Bop on the head the eltricifers and get up to the next area.
Collect the fruit. Hit the checkpoint and slide the next eltrifier. Do
the same to the next. Wait until the next has the eltricity above it's
head, then slide it. Slide under and kill the enemy at the same time. Do
the same to the next eltrifiers, and jump and get the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
See a crate, smash it. Not much else to say.

SECOND GEM:
Take the skull and crossbones platform. Don't die throughout the level
and this will be available to you for use. Watch out for nitros, hit the
eltrifiers on the head when you need to, and yeah, at the end you get
your reward. Nothing else really to say here.

---------------------------| ROCK IT |---------------------------------
                           ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CRYSTAL:
Woooohooo, a jetpack level. Run forward to hear the sirens. Crash will
automatically get on the jetpack. Remember that X is to go forward and
the circle button is to turn the jetpack around. Up is to go down, and
down is to go up. Sqaure is the same functaion (spin.) Move foward. Go
up and on the left to avoid the fire, and go in the middle of the rocks
when they are circling around the outside and hit the checkpoint. The
lasers are easily avoided by looking at the pattern they go in then
going through when it is safe. Avoid the ife once again, and stay back
until that guy isn't eltrified. Then spin him away. Wait again, and spin
him again. Go under the cables and hit the next checkpoint. Go to the
right of the next fire section, and spin the next enemy into the fire
when he isn't eltrified. Hit the next checkpoint, avoid the lasrs and
the nitros and the cable and grab the crystal.

GEM:
there is only one gem here in this level. Break all of the crates. The
wooden ones can be borken by spinning. If you think you missed one
behind you, then press cricle and go back and look. The TNT can be
exploded by touching it on the top, then running.

------------------------| NIGHT FIGHT |--------------------------------
                        ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
This level is hard to see on. If you really want, you can turn up the
brightness, but that still wont help way too much. Run forward, just
keep on jumping over the pits that you can see. Also slide, jump on or
spin the mice that are around the place. Grab some health and a new
firefly will be guiding you through this next section. Hit the first
checkpoint. Slide whatever the hell those things are and continue to
jump over the pits. Avoid those mine things, and just before the crystal
is a pit. Sometimes you can't see it. Jump over it and grab the crystal.

FIRST GEM:
Take the skull and crossbones platform.

SECOND GEM:
Hit all crates in the level.
                         _____________
-------------------------| PACK ATTACK |-------------------------------
                         ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
Another pack level. Run forward to hear the sirens. Crash will
automatically get on the jetpack. Remember that X is to go forward and
the circle button is to turn the jetpack around. Up is to go down, and
down is to go up. Sqaure is the same functaion (spin.) Stick to the
bottom section in thos first room and avoid the pipes with fire, the
lasers and the cable flying around all over the place. Spin that guy
twice when he isn't eletrified to kill him. Go under everything here and
hit the second checkpoint. Avoid the double sets of lasers.Avoid all
these traps up ahead and on the right will be the crystal.

GEM:
Break all of the crates. None are really too hard to get, just spin
them. If you miss one, press circle to turn around and fly back and then
spin the crates.
                          ____________
--------------------------| SPACED OUT |-------------------------------
                          ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

CRYSTAL:
If you have been following all of the levels in order, then this will be
the last level in the game, apart from the last boss battle and the
secret warp room. Lets start the last level. Avoid the fire on the side
on the platforms. Jump onto it and use the appropriate attacks to get
rid of the next few enemies. Usually a slide will work. Continue sliding
or hitting the enemies. Hit the first dcheckpoint, jump over the nitros
and slide or jump on the head of the next few enemies. Collect wumpa
fruit and slide the next few enemies. Slide under the next two small
parts to avoid being hit. Slide the next few enemies, and hit the
checkpoint and grab the crystal at the end.

FIRST GEM:
Need the blue gem, get it, and then go to the platform.

SECOND GEM:
Destroy all of the crates in the level. Make sure you do the bonus level
and get any crates you see. Smash them and they will count towards your
total. Hit them all, and at the end will be a gem.
                      ____________
----------------------| NEO CORTEX |-----------------------------------
                      ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

BATTLE:
A hard battle? Seriously, not really. Until you find out a little trick,
this will become easy. You and Cortex both have jet packs. You must
chase Cortex and spin him to hit him. Asteroids, mines and stuff get in
the way. You can spin the rocks to get out of your way. So, keep
spinning. Spin cortex three times when you get up close to him, and you
will defenetly hurt him. Make sure you get him before he goes through
the portal.
