Visit it to unlock Coco, at which point you can swap between her and Crash Bandicoot at any point by pressing 'ZR'. Simply beat the boss Papu Papu – AKA the easiest boss in the entire game – and you'll unlock Coco's Time Machine.

Unlocking Coco is pretty darn easy in Crash Bandicoot. Take the secret platform to the left of the second Neo Cortex Token and smash the crates to get the third. Beat the snake and the second Neo Cortex Token is in the crate behind it. Keep moving forward until you reach a snake. Right after the sequence where you have to jump through fire on moving platforms, smash the bottom crate of a stack topped with TNT to get the first Neo Cortex Token. Move left to find the final Neo Cortex Token. Reach the Neo Cortex Bonus Round teleport, and head inside the passageway behind you.

Get in the middle of them, then bounce between the crates to land on the second moving wall to get the second Neo Cortex Token. Keep moving until you reach a set of moving walls. Head inside and smash the crates to get the first Neo Cortex Token. You can’t even miss it.Get to the top of the third-floor ruin and beat the lizard. At the top, you’ll enter a secret bonus stage.Ībout halfway through the bonus stage, you’ll find the Purple Gem. Just jump on the nitro, it won’t explode. You’ll encounter a stack of nitro crates, setup like stairs on the right side of the level. The Purple Gem is found on a secret path around the mid-point of the level. If you die, you won’t have enough time to complete the stage and earn the Yellow Gem, so it’s better to just restart the stage. Use the jet ski boost liberally, and always hop onto the jet ski as quickly as possible. The trick is knowing where to collect masks and barreling through nitro and enemies as fast as you can. Your goal is to complete the stage before the timer expires. Here’s the trick - before reaching the first jet ski, a timer will appear with about a minute counting down. Don’t attempt to get the Yellow Gem until after you’ve earned the Crystal, then come back once you have some experience getting through this level. To earn the Yellow Gem, you’ll have to be fast. Sadly, you’ll have to backtrack through all that stuff when you reach the dead end. It’s actually a fake wall.Ĭomplete this hidden path to collect the Green Gem at the end. Make it to the end, and jump through the (seemingly) closed door. This leads into a room chock-full of nitro. Complete the tricky bonus stage area, and you’ll drop down a hole with the Red Gem, putting you back on track to finish the regular version of Snow Go.Īt the fork in the path, take the right passage instead of following the fruit on the left. Now that you’re in the Secret Warp Room, hop into Snow Go. Instead, use the floating crates to reach a stone platform with the secret level exit. Enter the Air Crash level, and at the first jet ski sequence, avoid the jet ski entirely. To access the secret area with the Red Gem, you’ll need to enter Snow Go through the hidden Air Crash secret exit. Perform a slide-jump to get enough height and distance to make it over the wall without breaking any crates. There is one tricky part that makes this challenging - the wall of crates near the checkpoint. All you need to do is finish the level without breaking any crates. Here’s the first (and easiest!) Color Gem to collect. Note: Thankfully, you can die as many times as you like when hunting for the color gems. You’ll need to do specific challenges this time, and the challenge changes for each level. Instead of completing certain levels without dying once, color gems now have different requirements to collect.

You’ve probably seen the crystal-shaped objects in some stages. Just like in Crash 1, Gems allow Crash to access hidden areas in levels.
#CRASH BANDICOOT 2 PART 1 SERIES#
Instead of finishing levels without dying once, you’ll need to complete a series of challenges - and yes, you can die plenty of times and still earn those Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple and Green Gems. There are five colorful Gems in Crash Bandicoot 2, and unlocking them is both easier and harder than in the earlier game. Check out the complete list of locations below to unlock those extra bonus stages. The Color Gems are more creative in Crash Bandicoot 2, and we know how (and where) to find them all.
