4. Story


When we last time saw Crash Bandicoot, he was just defeated Dr. N. Cortex
and Uka Uka. Now Crash, Coco and Aku-Aku are at holiday at beach.

Luckily, over the past couple of years, Dr. N. Cortex has been working on a
super-secret weapon that will surely crush Crash forever. The weapon is
super-bandicoot called Crunch, but it needs more power. Uka Uka tells a
story to every bad guy:

“Several thousands of years ago the Ancient Ancestors fought a brave battle
against the elementals - a group of renegade masks who had control and
power over the elements of Air, Earth, Fire and Water. Each mask reigned
over a specific element and used these elements to ravage the globe. The
Ancient Ansetors were able to imprison the Elementals through the use of
special crystals that put them in a state if hibernation.”

Uka Uka explains that if they canrelease these masks and harness their
destructive power, Cortex can complete his super-secret weapon and rid
themselves of Crash Bandicoot once at all.

Back on Earth, all heck breaks loose. A volcano erupts, showering the land
with lava and charred rock. A tornado rages through the jungle and then a
thundering earthquake shakes the Earth off of its hinges. Aku Aku knows
somwthing is very wrong here. He knows the Elementals have been unleashed
on the world once again. The only way to put an end to the Elementals is
to find the Elemental crystals that are scattered all across the Earth.
Utilizing her brilliant technical savvy, Coco creates a Virtual Reality
warp device that will take them to the different points on the globe to
retrieve the crystals.

Can Crash and Coco brave the elements and destroy Ctunch? Or will Cortex
finally have his day in the sunlight?

You can load/save/delete game if you watch the LOAD/SAVE screen.

You can go to the death route only if you're not died any time in the level.

In the bonus if you die, you don’t lose a life. Only you must go to bonus
second time.

Every time you get the first clear gem from destroying all the boxes
(not boxes those are already iron).

If you have already the Crystal, getting the clock you can go to
Time Trial and try getting the Sapphire, Gold or Platinum Relic.
Percentage doesn’t any effect what Relics there are. It’s the same
is it Sapphire, Gold or Platinum. Of course, Sapphire is easiest,
second-easy is Gold and Platinum is hardest.

Often you get the second clear gem if you go end of bonus platform.
If you want to go to bonus platform, you need the coloured gem from
another level’s death route. In the Secret Warp Room, the second clear
gems are like Crystal, but you can go to Time Trial also if you haven’t
got the second clear gem.

time, it changes to Iron Box.
