Crash Bandicoot 2
Boss FAQ

Introduction: Welcome to my Crash Bandicoot 2 Boss FAQ. At
the moment, Gamefaqs does not have a Boss FAQ for this old
yet brilliant and popular game, and since this game has
several challenging bosses I thought to lend a hand.

2) BOSSES
--------------------
++++++++++++++++++++
First Boss: Ripper Roo
Ripper Roo's Health: 3
Ripper Roo is back from his defeat from the first game.
This time, rather than the second boss he is the first, and
a bit of a challenge. The area is surrounded by water and
you are on a nice big square. Ripper Roo lays down TNT
blocks which will explode in ten seconds and nitro squares,
which will blow up instantly when touched. The TNT are red
whilst the Nitro are green. The trick to get him is to lure
him on to the squares, once Ripper Roo lands on one of the
deadly squares, he will be knocked out, losing 33.3% of his
health. Do this three times to win, but be careful as his
attack pattern often changes.
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++
Second Boss: Komodo Brothers
Komodo Brothers Health: 3
These two mean dragons attack one at a time (Usually) so
that is one worry off your case. Or is it? Whilst one of
them attacks you on the battle field, the other likes to
throw knives. When the first brother starts spinning, avoid
his attack until he stops and attack him. His brother will
take over throwing knives, once he is done, again hit him.
The brothers will get quite mad at Crash Bandicoot now and
for their final effort they will do a combo, throw knives
whilst the other one speeds, just avoid their attack and
then attack. This fight is similar to the first fight on
Crash Bandicoot against Papu Papu!
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++
Third Boss: Tiny the Tiger
Tiny's Health: 3
Wow! Tiny is HUGE! The area is made up of nine raised
platforms. Tiny will chase you around by jumping, and after
a certain amount of time, some of the platforms will flash
red. These will blow up so quickly lure Tiny on to the
platforms, when he does, just at the right time it will
damage him. You need to do this around three times to win,
but beware that he is much more harder after two hits. Oh
and one futher thing, be careful which platforms Tiny
destroys when they blow up, once they have blown up,
they're gone.
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++
Fourth: N-Gin
N-Gin's Health: 4
This is quite possibly the hardest boss in the game. It is
set on one staight platform on a 2D gameplay, and you must
destroy Cortex's right hand man, N-Gin. He will start the
fight by firing lasers at you, quickly block his lasers
with Wumpa fruit. He will then have the TNT timers on him,
fire more fruit back at him. Finally repeat the process to
win.
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++
Fifth Boss: Dr. Neo Cortex
Ripper Roo's Health: 3
This is it! The final boss. You must chase Cortex through
space, avoidng rocks and when getting close, spin attacking
him. The final fight is quite easy, Cortex will wait for
you if you bump in to any obsticles along the way. Good
luck!
