If possible include something other than just "Help" so I know what game is the
subject about, this is because I know some similar glitches in other games.
Also I make sure you won't be Morshu'd, just look at the end of the FAQ, I give
credit to people.

=============================================================
Hi to all of you. Been a Naughty Dog Crash game player since around 2000, played
the first three games a lot. Then one day...
I found out about this glitch at CrashMania, though it wasn't quite detailed as
in how it works. That was when I stepped in. This was around 2014 as that's when
the first revision of Crash 2 Extra Item Glitch FAQ was made, which I did first.
I noted the range a certain item type appears in, and which value is which level
and that job was made easier due to the fact that the first value determines the
item and the other two the technical level. Since finding out all this, I've
taken notes about how this alters the game. It's been very useful with things as
well. (One proof image for a thing has the Level 31 buttton from the glitching.)
I also have briefed CrashMania more about this, so it has more accurate
description of it. (Some people have seemingly updated Bandipedia as well.)
Finally, I seemed to have completed all this on around 2018 as I haven't gotten
the number of Powers past 31. Meanwhile also getting all region versions of the
games for further analysis on console. Some time after that I took notes of a
save file made available on a German demo disc series in 1999. It's really
interesting. Then an Alpha build got available...
Well, that's the end to that story. This file has evolved during those years and
what you're looking at right now is seemingly the final revision of the FAQ for
now - unless someone finds something new regarding this or finds an error. So,
without any further things, happy reading.
- Disregard the final part for now, there's still things to figure out
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
1. Introduction
---------------
So you have this game and a console and you have 105% on it. Think you can't
get more? Wrong. You can get up to 92% more. Using a glitch that involves you
jumping on an arrow box and then onto an enemy and hearing a 'click'.
The game counts percentage as follows:
CRYSTAL 1%
GEM 1%
COLOURED GEM 1%
RELICS 1%
BOSSES 1%
(IF YOU GET ALL ITEMS EXCEPT THE SECRET ITEMS YOU REACH 100%, OTHERWISE IT GOES
TO 99% AND AFTER BEATING CORTEX IT JUMPS TO WHAT IT WOULD BE IN THE RANGE OF
101% TO 105%.)
When keeping this in mind, we can calculate:
Normally you get:
25 Crystals = 25%
45 Gems = 45%
30 Relics = 30%
Bosses = 5%
Added together = 105%
With this glitch:
64 Crystals = 64%
64 Gems = 64%
64 Relics = 64%
Bosses = 5%
Added together = 197%
'INVALID' here means the item won't be in any of the item slots.
The following information is confirmed using a real console and an emulator.
This guide tells you what is in slots 200-263, 300-363, 400-463, 500-563, &
600-663. The are more stuff but it's just repeated items from earlier.
Because every item is in a certain slot, you can use this information to get
certain items for a certain level. For example you want to get items of level
22. Because level's items are always 100 bounces from each other, 232 bounces
for crystal, 332 items for the gem, and 432, 532 or 632 depending on the relic.
The same rule applies to Crash 2. If the level has more than one gem, it is in
place of otherwise invalid item when done 100 more or less. Keep this in mind.
Only going into those secret levels increases TOTAL gem and relic counters by 1
unit, by a total of 2 (42 gems to 44, 28 relics to 30). In a similar fashion,
getting all relics at least to Gold increases total gem count to 45.
UPDATE: The hundreds define the item, right? The tens and ones define the level
slot the item goes in, this is what the game considers based on the technical
position of the level, using these values one could make a trainer for a level
warp, as X11 gives items to Toad Village, and Toad Village is technically level
11. Though only crystals work exactly this way, secondary gem positions feel
odd in here.
--------------------------------------
2. Where can I do this glitch and how?
--------------------------------------
You can do this glitch in locations involving ANYTHING YOU CAN JUMP ON and an
enemy. Level 21, Gone Tomorrow is generally considered the best place of doing
this. Go to the part where is a bounce box and on top an enemy.
Another location is in the beginning of level 7 before the 1st hanging part.
Yet another location is at the part of level 7 before the last checkpoint where
an enemy circles around between bouncing platforms.
Though I prefer the very end of level 7 with them 2 bounce thingys and the
enemy before the nitro exploder box.
And then there's many other useful locations to do this in the game. Such as the
start of level 13, at the very top. I'd say this is the easiest, as you don't
have to deal with an enemy that moves back and forth or an enemy changing its
appearance, both of which may ruin your exact jump plans.
You can get many items if the enemies repeatedly appear from somewhere or you
die so the enemy can respawn.
How much time it takes?
This is more important in here than in Crash 2 because there's more items. 100
bounces takes about 01:36:00 in real time (in PAL, NTSC is slightly faster).
Knowing this, we can see that...
BOUNCES:
PAL
100 BOUNCES = 01:36:00 (110 BOUNCES 01:45:60)
200 BOUNCES = 03:12:00
300 BOUNCES = 04:48:00
400 BOUNCES = 06:24:00
500 BOUNCES = 08:00:00
600 BOUNCES = 09:36:00
700 BOUNCES = 11:12:00
NTSC
100 BOUNCES = 01:33:33 (110 BOUNCES 01:42:67)
200 BOUNCES = 03:07:66
300 BOUNCES = 04:40:39
400 BOUNCES = 06:14:12
500 BOUNCES = 07:47:45
600 BOUNCES = 09:21:18
700 BOUNCES = 10:54:51
For some reason, after syncing my console with a video I made, my video slowly
got ahead of the console. This may be because I didn't use the same spot, or
because I use PS2 Slim with "enhancements". Though I made the 700 bounce video
using an emulator...
NOTE: If one plans to get every item, make yourself a checklist and mark all
the items you have and count your bounces. Anything can go wrong with these and
it makes a lot of confusion of "DO I HAVE THIS ITEM?" and stuff. And no, you
can only have one of each relic type so 64 is the max. Also about warning that
says: inaccessible levels in secret warp room by having too many relics, never
happened to me at any amount, I think it's false information floating around.
Also I haven't experienced any Memory Card corruption.
DISCLAIMER: Item from one slot can be gotten only once. When you get it, the
slot has nothing to give you. The only sort-of exception is Relics, though you
need to get any other type than the current to get one more than once. This is
probably the reason why people report "bounced around 2-3 minutes, works half
the time". Count your bounces, people.

**** Does not increase the TOTAL gem count by one
-----------------------
5. Memory slots: Relics
-----------------------
Want to jump straight to the relics or had enough with crystals or gems?
Here's the relic list.
Be warned though, as getting a SAPPHIRE RELIC from the slot that would equal a
GOLD or PLATINUM RELIC and YOU HAVE EITHER GOLD or PLATINUM IN THAT SLOT, it
WILL GET DOWNGRADED. This is recommended if you want to get some other relic
again, otherwise be careful or you can just load your save. If downgrade to
Sapphire, your TOTAL gem count decreases (!).
The normal requirements are listed, but before you complain, I'll let you know
that those are PAL times, since I'm from PAL territory, they don't differ much
when compared to NTSC times, but still. I actually got all platinums before
figuring all this out. Go ahead if you want to do it the cheat way.
(I found it was easier to put photos me best times, so if you want to see those
go to the documents section on me page. They are now in display. On 2017-12-05
I got a world record tie on Hot Coco apparently (0:01:48).)
(To see relic times for your region, see section 12.)
After 400 bounces you start to receive relics. They are as follows:

6. Memory slots: Powers
-----------------------
NOTE: This section appears as investigated. Might be confusing, but readable
conclusion is the usual list.
After 700 bounces, them powers are getting their share of memory. They won't
give any completion %, so you might want to skip these. But if you want those
powers early go ahead, even though there's another way which only works because
devs had them all when making those in-game demos, or if you just want every
thing, read ahead. This section might be somewhat complicated, as investigating
them gave me following results so far:
700 - 730 BOUNCES + ENEMY = NON WORKING POWERS IF OBTAINED THIS WAY?
SCRATCH THIS. READ THE TEXT THERE:
After finding about this glitch, I knew that there were slots for crystals 1st,
gems 2nd, relics 3rd, and after a purposely made long period of jumps there
were power slots that were last ones. So I got a power that showed as 6th and
it was them Crash Dash / Speed Shoes.
Recently while attempting this with a new game with no powers, I tried this in
the 1st level possible that is 7th I believe, with 1 power. Results were that I
got some unknown slot that showed up as Double Jump, but it wasn't in use. Then
what happened after boss #2? I got the legit Double Jump and the other was now
seen as Death Tornado Spin but non-working. This needs some investigating still
about what happens when getting slots 700 and forward and not some unknown slot
that usually happens when letting Crash jump without counting them bounces. I
don't know, are those 5 in there at random unknown slots or powers refuse to
work when obtained like this?
After investigating more with a new file after getting my console save to 197%,
I got my emulator and disc ready for 700 and more bounces. While not defeated
the boss #2, after 700 bounces, nothing. After 701, a new power to the list.
It worked this time. After 702 bounces, I got 2 new powers, it seemed, but. It
was so that I got Death Tornado Spin and the power display changed to show you
"Obtained power" (FLOP) + "the next one that you don't have" (JUMP) + "the
obtained later one" (SPIN). Like that. I actually expected something like this
to happen. So, my conclusion is the following...:
POWERS:
700 BOUNCES + ENEMY = SUPER BELLY FLOP / SUPER CHARGED BODY SLAM
701 BOUNCES + ENEMY = DOUBLE JUMP
702 BOUNCES + ENEMY = DEATH TORNADO SPIN
703 BOUNCES + ENEMY = BAZOOKA / FRUIT BAZOOKA
704 BOUNCES + ENEMY = CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES
705 BOUNCES + ENEMY = INVALID POWER
REPEAT UNTIL:
730 BOUNCES + ENEMY = INVALID POWER
These actually show up instantly in the stats when you receive them. At least
it's easy to check if you actually have anything new. Though they seem to stop
at 31, anything after that seems not to register. I had an argument with this
fellow aliased "CrashRatchet008" and he came up with this theory that values got
something to do with it. If anyone gets more than 31, let me know?
NOTE: Not all new power-ups show up as an extra Crash Dash. Also 6 at the time
is max what you can see, it changes the extra one you see until it shows 5 when
all legit ones are shown, then it makes a circle. The order may not factor how
they appear in the pause menu.
So this is the order things end up with and then which starts to repeat:
SUPER BELLY FLOP / SUPER CHARGED BODY SLAM
DOUBLE JUMP
DEATH TORNADO SPIN
BAZOOKA / FRUIT BAZOOKA
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES
PAUSE MENU POINT OF VIEW:
Whatever extras you have with 5 seen at the top using the order and then:
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES (5 at the top)
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES (5 at the top)
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES (5 at the top)
CRASH DASH / SPEED SHOES (4 at the top)
BAZOOKA / FRUIT BAZOOKA (4 at the top)
DEATH TORNADO SPIN (4 at the top)
DOUBLE JUMP (4 at the top)
SUPER BELLY FLOP / SUPER CHARGED BODY SLAM (4 at the top)
[REPEAT CYCLE]
NOTE: To cycle the pause menu thing seen on the right side faster, tap TRIANGLE
button repeatedly. (This trick is only seen in the PAL manual.)
---------------------------
7. Time Trial mode bouncing
---------------------------
While in a Time Trial after a certain time of bounces clock freeze effects start
to happen for
some reason, including 0 second freeze. Yes, you read that right.
Freeze times are in-game time format. This is the only thing that won't limit at
64 and is not beginning at full hundred. Highest freeze time is (in PAL area,
counted in real time with stopwatch) about 89 seconds real time and in-game
time.
I believe the only level where this can be used to "cheat" is level 7. At the
start of the level, jump on an object that let's you bounce up to around 199
bounces. Then you need to jump on top of an enemy. The first enemy you can jump
on is the wizard around few corners. You can use the Crash 2 method here. Jump
forward, spin and while spinning, crouch. Rinse and repeat until enemy. Then
you're free to finish a level in quite a low time. There's other glitchier
methods of doing this (reaching an enemy, faster), however they're harder to
pull off. I pretty much halved my then previous time with this, which was
0:35:36 --> 0:18:16. This was done on console, of course, with a PAL version.
NOTE: The reason I say "cheat" is that the wave jump is also a "cheat". What's
interesting though is that for WR wave jump is acceptable but this is not. I'd
say either accept both or neither. (I think me normal time on Hot Coco is
0:19:60, I recall it was one of those levels where I got the Platinum and was
happy, no improvements on that time, except glitches. Found an old image
showing that.)
FREEZES:
110 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 0 SECOND FREEZE
111 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 1 SECOND FREEZE
112 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 2 SECOND FREEZE
113 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 3 SECOND FREEZE
114 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 4 SECOND FREEZE
AND SO ON UNTIL:
162 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 52 SECOND FREEZE
163 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 53 SECOND FREEZE
164 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 54 SECOND FREEZE
AND SO ON UNTIL:
199 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 89 SECOND FREEZE
UPDATE: If there's more than one enemy near a thing you can bounce on, you can
chain the freezes together. Let's say you freeze the clock first for 87 seconds
and jump on top of another enemy without losing your combo, gaining 88 seconds
more on the freeze you have already, and then on top of another enemy, adding
89 seconds to the chain. This means you get 87 + 88 + 89 seconds, which is 264
seconds. With this you can freeze the clock for an absurd amount of time, that
is if you don't lose your combo. Of course, any time box stuff will get added
too, if you break any.
--------
8. RECAP
--------
What we have learned so far is simply put into following:
1 BOUNCE + ENEMY = WUMPA
2 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 2 WUMPAS
3 BOUNCES + ENEMY = 3 WUMPAS
4 BOUNCES + ENEMY = EXTRA LIFE
110 - 199 BOUNCES + ENEMY = TIME TRIAL FREEZES
200 - 263 BOUNCES + ENEMY = CRYSTALS
300 - 363 BOUNCES + ENEMY = GEMS
400 - 463 BOUNCES + ENEMY = SAPPHIRE RELICS
500 - 563 BOUNCES + ENEMY = GOLD RELICS
600 - 663 BOUNCES + ENEMY = PLATINUM RELICS
700 - 730 BOUNCES + ENEMY = POWERS
To have the greatest save, you need 64 Crystals, 64 Gems, 64 Platinum Relics and
31 Powers. On top of that you want that Spyro The Dragon Demo option on the
main menu (unless you live in Japan). If you unlock it and then save your new
(!) game to a slot, it's always there when you quit to main menu! (Author's
save doesn't have that and he's not bothered to do all he's done so far again
just to get that. He knows the code, even though the manual of his region won't
tell it.)
(Spyro the Dragon demo (PAL & NTSC/U ONLY!): Up Up Down Down Left Right Left
Right Square)
----------------------------
9. Side effects and theories
----------------------------
When you get a total of 30 CRYSTALS, the 6th Warp Room loses all its buttons.
Do not worry, from 31 CRYSTALS and onwards they stay there, but with an extra
button (level 31 (!))! This lets you access level 31 this way. And even better,
this activates the intended relic times for this level in NTSC/U. They are
Sapphire 1:00:00, Gold 0:30:10 and Platinum 0:19:93.
What makes this interesting is that unlike with bosses (except when you get to
the second Cortex battle if I recall) - when you go to a boss or another level
that's elsewhere or just load your save, all the buttons appear. In this case,
the buttons stay away no matter what you do until you get 31 crystals in total.
You can downgrade your relics with this glitch, say you have a platinum relic.
If you get a sapphire relic which corresponds to amount 6XX minus 100 or 200,
you can get a gold or platinum relic again! (Though you could always start a
new game or load a save file with no relics...) If you downgrade any relic to
Sapphire, it also causes the total gem count to go back to 44. The game knows.
Levels 31 and 32 won't normally show up their times. That's because there's no
crystal to collect. But then again, levels 26, 28 and 30 do, and there's no
crystals. If you do the glitch and get crystals that corresponds to those
levels, you can see those times. Though to NTSC/U users, this is useless.
Extra powers show up with 5 at the top when you have 6 or more. This may be
connected to the fact that some magazine said that you gain 6 powers. However,
this is only a cosmetic thing. (Source for "magazine saying 6 powers" can only
be seen in the old version of Crash Mania at the time of writing.)
If you get back to Warp Room with multiple items at once, strange stuff starts
to happen, like some objects disappear, background at warp room disappears,
menu objects disappear (visibly) and the game slows down.
When holding triangle button through loadings and a bit after that, the HUD
might briefly display some items (crystals and gems). This seems to occur when
gotten extra items.
If you get an item that's in the level you are in this way, the item goes away.
----------------------------------------
10. Stuff you can do with this "feature"
----------------------------------------
Extra button. See section 9.
Relic downgrading. See section 9.
See secret level times. See section 9.
Glitching. See section 9.
As you know, getting a crystal lets you see the Time Trial times. Though not
with levels 31 & 32. But. Combine the first trick and get a "crystal which
matches" levels 31 & 32 and you'll see the Time Trial times, that is if you
won't have a platinum.
You can glitch the 105% gem early, without the need to obtain at least gold
relics.
You can also glitch those hard platinum relics if you wish.
This works to some extent here, but is better done in Crash 2. Get the invalid
crystals and beat bosses to open all levels and then you are free to play them
in any order! This is because the coding doesn't care as long as you have X
amount of crystals.
In the Japanese version you can see at one screen all your item glitching, as
this affects the screen showing your things at the PocketStation menu system.
With the exception of Powers, which are not shown in the correct order for some
reason. (The order is 1 - 2 - 4 - 5 - 3.)
----------------
11. NTSC/U Alpha
----------------
NOTE: If a thing isn't listed here, it works like the retail game.
This glitch seems to work mostly the same way here, except that only bounce
crates seem to work for the combo.
NOTE: Everything here is work in progress, some things might be missing.
NTSC/U Alpha percantages:
CRYSTAL 1%
GEM 1%
COLOURED GEM 2%
RELICS 0%
BOSS LEVEL ENTRY 1%
BOSS DONE 4%
When keeping this in mind, we can calculate:
Normally you get:
25 Crystals = 25%
37 Gems = 37%
5 Coloured Gems = 10%
30 Relics = 0%
5 Boss level entries = 5%
5 Bosses = 20%
Added together = 97%
With this glitch:
64 Crystals = 64%
58 Gems = 58%
6 Coloured Gems = 12%
64 Relics = 0%
5 Boss level entries = 5%
5 Bosses = 20%
TOTAL = 159%
Other NTSC/U Alpha specific differences:
- Some items are unobtainable for various reasons - but Extra Item Glitch to the
rescue!
- Dingodile's warp info shows you a list of items. You can "get" those with this
glitch. The value is the boss level value for them (X03).
- N. Tropy's warp info shows you a list of items. You can "get" those with this
glitch. The value is the boss level value for them (X04).
- Value (X33) is still level 26 (27 in pause menu) but Hot Coco is at that value
instead.
- Value (X37) is still level 28 (26 in pause menu) but you can get the Crystal
legit this time.
- Value (X31) is still level 30 (28 in pause menu) but you can see a Crystal you
can't get, also the box gem is seen but winning the race gives you the second
gem of level 19.
- Level 16 now has a Green Gem Path.
- Level 21 now has a Purple Gem Path.
- Gem with 308 is now INVALID GEM.
- Gem with 309 is now INVALID GEM.
- Red Gem is in Level 13 - same value (358).
- Purple Gem is in Level 20 - same value (360).
- Blue Gem is in Level 12 - same value (361).
- 105% Gem doesn't seem to be implemented yet, the game behaves as if it's a
Coloured Gem.
- The buttons in 6th Warp Room disappear when you get 30 Crystals in total - but
they don't come back when you get 31 Crystals in total.
- Relic times are obviously different.
- Sapphire Relic is the equivalent of Silver Relic.
- Silver Relic (Sapphire) seems to be under 2:00:00 in all levels.
- Gold Relic seems to be under 1:40:00 in all levels.
- Platinum Relic seems to be under 1:15:00 in all levels.
- Time Trial glitching with this seems to be non-existent, though you can still
get items while in Time Trial as with the retail game.

12. PlayStation Zone Magazine Save File oddities
------------------------------------------------
This German Demo Disc series got a Crash 3 save file. This, of course, can be
used with all European "versions", as they are all the same, only the packaging
has different things, the game is always the same. It's up to you if you want to
hunt it down. Remember, it's PAL only!
When the Load Game menu is reached, there's 2 files. Other one is not that
interesting, the second one is the stuff. When you boot it, the language is set
to DEUTSCH (naturally, but you can always change it from the Pause Options, do
not tell me you didn't know), you have 48 Crystals, 64 Gems, 48 Sapphire Relics
and 4 Powers. Totaling to 164% and Level 31 button. This file was played by
someone named Osman Hamzic from Games Garden, whatever that is. If there's any
Germans reading this, let me know?
What items you have technically? I took a look and. You got 200-247 of Crystals,
every single Gem, 400-447 of Sapphire Relics and 700-703 of Powers. Interesting
file for the year being 1999.
