Yellow gem level 11 : get the end befone The Time runs out !

Puprle gem level 20 : get at the fake nitros that gets you to secret area for Puprle gem

Air Crash Complete The Part : Level 13 At The End Go Backward And Go To The Platform With Ice.

Snow Go Red Gem Path : Air Crash Level 7 When You Get The First River Don't Get Him Jump At The Boxes To The Platform.

Road To Rain Complete Part : Level 17 Kill The Plant With The Platform By Your Body.

Level 26 : Level 15 At The End Go Upward At The Giant Hole You Well See A Bear Go At The Bear.

Levek 27 : Level 16 When you Gets To The Water Go Backward You Well See a Hole Again With The Enemy And Secret Exit (NOTE : To Get Out Of The Enemy Press R1)

Wait until the second polar bear falls off the bridge in the 'Unbearable' level and then jump down after it and you will enter a bonus level.

In order to get this alternate ending you simply collect all the gems including the coulered ones then when this is done go to the final warp room and click to go up to the next area and you will get the alternate ending

In the snowy place theres a polar bear next to a level keep jumping on him and eventually he will give you lots of lives

This level is so annoying because no matter what you do, you have to play it three times. The first time is a secret. Go through normally until you reach the first jetski. Do not hop on it. There will be some boxes floating in the water. Hop off of them to the platform on the right side. When you land on it, you will be transported out of the level in into the secret bonus level. There you can enter the bonus level in Snow Go in which you can obtain the Red Gem! Watch out, IT IS TOUGH!!! The second time be careful not to die, as there is a skull and crossbones platform where you can get this level's hidden gem. Lastly, just run through the level normal to get the normal gem. There you go!

P.S. There is no time trial like in other levels of this kind.

OK, this cheat sounds crazy, but it works! First, go to Snow Go and go to that metal bouncing crate near the seal. Leave Crash there for about 4 minutes. Then, jump on that seal in front of you. You'll hear a sound. That means the cheat worked. Don't believe me? Press Triangle, and you'll see! I still don't know if there's a limit or something. Trust me, I have 113% on my save file.

In a level such as snow go, go up to a metal jump crate (near the end) and jump on it for 3-4 minutes then jump on the enemy after it you should get either a gem or a crysral(there must be an emeny after it!)

Get more time in Hang Eight and the Plant Food levels where you have to race against the clock for a gem by entering the Bonus area and then purposely failing by jumping off the side of the platform. You will then restart in the level with more time than you were given at the begining of the race.

Another way to get the Yellow Gem is to go through the level normally. You should see a timer.

Continue through, take the bonus, fall, and you should get 1 more minute to finish the level. Get to the end and you should see the yellow gem.

Note that the timer will not stop after you get the gem.

In the level "bear down" level 13 go all the way to the end when you get to the end do not go forward go backward u'll see little frozen ice cubes jump on them and go onto the biggest one then you will teleport to the secret level 'air crash'

To get to the red gem you will have to go into level 7(air crash). At the first surf board there will be an empty platform that you will need to jump on by jumping on the boxes in the water. NOTE: You can not jump off the board you will have to do it from the dock...From there it will take you to a hidden place in snow go, and at the end will be waiting the red gem....Good luck!!!

Free Aku Aku Mask at Start of Levels:

As soon as Crash goes throuh the portal hold down R1 and X

Skip 1st Level:

If you skip the first cutscene you won't have to play the 1st level and will go directly to the first Warp Room.

View Secret Ending:

Get 100% Complete

When you go to Hang Eight or Plant Food, you'll realize that at some point there is a timer at the bottom left-hand of the screen.

You have to finish that level before that timer runs out to get a gem. If you want more time, go to the bonus and lose right away.

Then you'll be warped right next to the bonus and if you look at the timer, there's more time than usual.

Then, you can finish the level faster.

Here is how to get most of the colour gems:

Level 1: Turtle Woods Blue Gem; Just simply walk through the level Without getting any boxes and VOILA! The blue gem should be at the place where the box count is.

Level 2: Snow Go: Red Gem: First go in to Air Crash and on the first river DON'T get on the surfboard thing, there should be some boxes in front of you in the river, use them to jump on to the empty platform. The Platform should warp you to a secret warp area which opens the Snow Go Red Gem warp gate and just that level thing.

Eel Deal: Green Gem: There is a wall which is guarded by nitros just get yourself to the wall and you should be able to jump through it finish that bit and the green gem should be at the end of it.

Level 20: Bee-Havin..

This is what you do: Just simply get all the boxes EXCEPT the ones on the surfboard thing.

Easy! Huh?

Wanna know where to find all the coloured jems okay I will tell you

Level 1:DO NOT collect any boxes at the end you will find the blue saphire

Level 2:get to this secret warp room and go on snow go (sorry I can't explain how to get to the warp room it's too complicated)and complete it you will find the red ruby at the end

Level 10:keep going along the level untill you come to a point where it splits two ways go right into a nitro box room CAREFULLY get to the end of the room yes it will look like a door that is closed but don't judge things before you check them walk into the door you will go right through it onto a secret level that leads to the sparkling green jem then once got the gem come back into the nitro box room go out it and continue the mission..

In Unbearable when you fall back down in the hole for extra boxxes, you can keep getting lives by going where the voodoo mask.

After you get there, go on the bouncy box onto the platform. Super jump O and X) and there will be two lives there.

Then die. Since there is a checkpoint right next to it, you can go right back and get those same two lives again.

They never go away. Slowly, you can build up your lives.

This is quite difficult to do. Once escaping the Bearminator and dropping Polar, when you reach the gate, don't go in. Instead, slide-jump back toward the side (it's possible) where Polar was. Then walk a bit past him and suddenly you'll disappear. Note: This unlocks level 26, Totally Bear.

Remember the Death Round in this level (The skull-coated platform on the left side of the turn)? Complete it successfully (Or use the right path), and then balance across the narrow path thereafter substituting for a bridge.

Jump into the air before the Man-Eating Plant bites you, and land on it. After it disappears, you land on the small platform of grass. Although Crash is getting warped somewhere...

Right first of all in the one were the big polar bear chases you go to the second bridge that the bear falls down then and fall down it.

(you will need lots of lives)

All the coloured gems are located here:

Turtle Woods, Snow Go, That level 10 Eel thing, Plant Food and level 20.

Turtle Woods hint: First play the level WITHOUT getting any boxes. You should have a Blue Gem. Now die and you should still have it. Now get the box gem and the crystal and viola.

In Bear Down: At the end, jump on the mushrooms to the platform and you should be transported to the bit of air crash that you can't get boxes in. You have a box gem.

In Level 10: When there is a wall guarded by nitro's, you can go through that wall to get a green gem.

In Air Crash: There is a platform with boxes leading on to it. Jump on it and it will take you to a secret part of Snow Go. Finish it to get the red gem.

In Level 20: Wh..

Hi, I'm gonna tell you a trick in the level called Bee-having.

The trick is that when you see a stair of nitros you have to pass through the stairs, it doesn't matter if you touch the nitro crates because those nitro crates are fake.

Bye!!!!

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, in..

When you get to the end of Un-Bearable jump over the

hole the bear fell down and run to the little bear to get

warped to Totally Bear.

just before you get to the first polar bear level jump on the polar bear outside the level a couple of times and you should get more lives

On "The Pits", when you have entered a pit , jump on the first rat to bounce out of the pit.

If you're in need of some quick lives, go to Unbearable and go underground where you see the third beehive.

Then go over the ground and when the bees come, spin once, and get a life.

This takes practice, but if done right, you can keep doing it and get as many lives as you want.

How to get a box and a life:

1.go to crash crush.

2.after the first run,continue along until you reach 2 separate ways.

3.go right.

4.get to the end.

5.you will find a box and a life.

In the warp room that has a polar bear in it keep jumping on the polar bear it will give you 11 lives

Colored Gems:

Turtle Woods-(blue)-to get the blue gem no boxes in 1st Level turtle woods.

The Eel Deal-(Green)-To get the green gem go past the dead end in the nitro box filled room.

Plant Food-(yellow)-to get the yellow gem get no boxes in the board Plant Food.

Red Gem-Get Air Crash warp (at 1st river ,bounce off boxes to platform. This should give you a snow go gate at the secret warp screen. Jump into it and beat the level to get the Red Gem.

Extra Lives-When you are on the 4th floor with the vortexes get into the level with the bees. Instead of going underground hit all 5 of them. Lives WILL be given.

SECRET LEVELS:

1-Right before the first "check point" appears in turtle woods there is an octagon. Body Slam it and u will fall into a n..

BONUS Voodoo Mask

After losing a life, hold Up+Circle until crash moves again. Alternatively, while in a warp tunnel, press X(2), then hold X+Up. Release the buttons when crash receives a Voodoo mask after the next life is lost.

In the warp room with the bear out the front, jump on top of the bear and get 20 more lives!!!

On level 16, "Hanging Out", there is a way to get extra lives.

It's a bit tough, though! How to get there: After dropping down the second time, and falling into the shallow water, go back towards yourself, instead of going forward.

Drop down into the hole, and you will see another level, where about four lives are hanging there.

TIP: Before going back, go forward and get the checkpoint. That will help if Crash dies.

In the level "UNBEARABLE" at the end when the baby polar bear throws you off across the hole, go back across the pit and you'll find the baby again. When you walk up to him you will be transported to a level called "TOTALLY BEAR." It's awesome.

Try it.

infinte lives

if you see a bonus do 100

body slams and there are 2 tnt!

boxes and remember make sure

you have 40 lives and 25-50

lives NOTE:If you do not have all of the gems, then you will restart the game make sure you have at least 20 gems 20/42 go to the last level.
