Alternate Path: Purple Gem
In level 9 Tomb Time, there is a way to
access the Purple Gem path without having
the Purple Gem! Towards the end of the
level, the last creature you kill is the snake.
After you kill the snake, turn left, and you
can see a platform. Instead of going ahead,
hitting the exclamation point and finishing
the level, do a slide jump to that platform. If
you jump perfectly you'll land. Do another
one to the next platform. (HINT : It's a lot
easier to do when you get the Double Jump
power by defeating the 2nd boss, Dingo
Dile. Then you can do a Double Slide
Jump, and it's easy) But once you do the
two slide jumps, you're at the end of the
Purple Gem path! On the path there is a
clear gem you can grab. And to get the gem
for smashing all of the boxes, go through the
Purple Gem path backwards, smash all of
the boxes, then come back around the
regular path, and grab a second clear gem
at the end of the level!

Beat Neo Cortex
To beat Neo Cortex at the end of the
game, you must wait until he throws his
exploding mines. After they explode,
immediately attack Cortex and knock him
him into the sewer. Do this three times to
defeat him.

Watch out however, for your friend Aku
Aku and Cortex's boss Uka Uka are
battling in the room with you. If you touch
them or the lasers they shoot at each other,
you will die. Be careful, each time you hit
Cortex, it becomes tougher to dodge Aku
Aku and Uka Uka.

Crash Dash
Here's a tip, before you try to beat the
levels in Time Trial, wait until you beat
Cortex the first time, the super power he
gives you is "Crash Dash" which enables
you to run faster which will help you get
Gold Relics instead of Sapphire ones in the
time trials

Easy Motorcycle Time Trials
On the levels where Crash rides the
motorcycle, it's easier to beat the time trial if
you wait about a minute before starting so
that the other vehicles don't knock you off
the road. Then, you can hit the clock and
still proceed normally.

Fun with the Bazooka
In the levels GEE WIZ and TOAD
VILLAGE there are several fun things to do
with N.Gin's bazooka. Go up to that
annoying chicken, aim, and fire! Now
wasn't that nice? Next, go to a wizard.
Don't go within range of his spells, though -
aim, fire, and when you blast him his clothes
and beard fall off! Don't worry, he's still
wearing boxers. Blast him again to kill him
from long range.
