Crash Bandicoot 2
Boss Warp
To go to the next or previous boss, press and hold L1, L2, R1,
R2, and Triangle when standing on the middle platform of a warp
room.
NOTE: This only works if you're already fought the boss you wish
to visit.
Colored Gems
Here's how to get all the colored gems!
TURTLE WOODS (Blue): Get no boxes.
THE EEL DEAL (Green): Go past the dead end in the Nitro box
filled room.
PLANT FOOD (Yellow): Get no boxes and beat the timer.
BEE-HAULING (Purple): Go up the stairs of Nitro boxes.
Extra Shield
When Crash dies hold Up and Circle. When Crash comes back he will
have an extra shield.
Hidden Warps
Several warps are hidden througout this game. Here's how to find
some of them.
1. BEAR DOWN: The small ice floe at the end of the stage.
2. AIR CRASH: The 2nd river. Don't jetski, but jump on the boxes
to the platform.
3. UNBEARABLE: When the cub bucks you off, go back until you see
him again.
4. HANGIN' OUT: when you drop down a hole into some eel-less
water, go into the foreground and drop down the hole.
(Pssst....use R1 to make Crash pull up his legs.)
5. DIGGIN' IT: Near the end there is a spitter plant on a
circular platform. Bellyflop onto it.
6. TURTLE WOODS: When you find the stone face in the ground,
belly flop on it to enter a bonus-type level. Be careful though
as you can die in this one.

Playing Tip for Totally Bear
When playing Level 26, Totally Bear, use the long jump
(O or R1 button and X button) when riding the bear. This allows
you to jump farther than on regular
bear levels like Bear It and Bear Down. Without out the long
jump, you can't get past any of the
Secret Levels
When Crash's sister says "Make yourself useful and get
batteries for my computer," wait and a bonus stage will
appear.
before the first "Check Point" box in Turtle Woods
there is an octagon on the ground with a menacing face.
Belly-flop onto the face and Crash will fall right through it
into a new level.
In the "UNBEARABLE" level, when the second bear falls
off the bridge, go back and jump into the space where he fell.
This should take you to a level with turtles and enemies who
shoot at you.
Unlimited Lives
Go to the secret level in UNBEARABLE. At about the halfway point
there is a bouncing box and an arc of fruit.
Go to the highest step and super jump up to find two extra lives.
Get both of them and kill yourself. Return to that spot for 2
more lives. Repeat as many times as you want!
Yellow Gem Time Saver
When trying to beat the clock on level 11 (PLANT FOOD), get to
the bonus ? lifter. Start the bonus and fall down the first gap
after the boxes and TNT. This will allow you to start at 1
minute, 24 seconds.
Continue the level and if you finish in that time which is fairly
easy, the yeallow gem is yours
after entering the teleporter room that takes you back to the
warp room. Don't forgot to grab it.
