This level is annoying because when I get to the end, I think that I've got all the boxes until I realise that I've missed out on the Crash crate in between the red-hot pipes.
@SetYouUp That's true! I never thought about it. Crash 1 had tropical areas, then castles, caves and labs. Crash 2 starts with jungles and ended with space levels and jungles at night (the firefly levels). Crash 3... Slight exception, but the first level still felt relaxed. Same with Wrath of Cortex's ice level and the final space level. TwinSanity had a demonic alternate universe at the end of it. Titans & MOM had a giant robot, factories and a space area at the end of their games. Cool trend!
Great, thanks. I couldn't do it, even after watching your video I still managed to keep on missing 2 boxes somewhere. So I followed along step by step on the video and sure enough got the gem.
I remember this level as a kid. Don't ask why, but I always found this to be the hardest level to ge tthe gem on, even more so than Slippery Climb or Sunset Vista.
OMG I CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT. I keep following this video exactly (DEFINITELY going back for the crash crate in the red-hot pipes after the jewel section) and yet I'm continually missing one box when I finish. I'm so frustrated!
The solution involves winning at the first attempt cause when you lose you start from a checkpoint you broke and the game doesn't count that box hence you cannot have all the boxes needed.
Following this video in the end always forget a box, then I have to search for that dawn box and There's a check point crate lower when you go back to the right before the final. THanks anyway because with your help this stage was easy. :)
Nice finish! you play much more effectively than I, as I never got through any of the levels without at least one death. I have finished the game though. ^_^
theres two different types of saves and they are pretty different because gem saves are after getting a gem and a bonus save point after completing a bonus area. but they are both quote different. because the gem saves doesn't update the position on the map. but the bonus saves does update the position on the map. the bosses also updates the position on the map. but you need to save from getting gem. you see, just because you got a gem from that level, it doesn't mean your position is saved on THAT position. for example: getting a gem from n sanity beach and restarting the game but do you have to restart the level? yes you do! But if you completed the level(upstream)with a gem and saved it, but didn't do the bonus save guess what happens? You have to start over the level that you did the bonus save on to get to that current level. but you still got the gem for the level. So no worries.
I remember always forgetting 2 boxes, but it was fun to try catch them all, and I did it, it did take some months when I was a kid but damn it was worth.
Ahh, this reminds me of that 1 impossible level in Crash 2: Cortex Strikes Back. The level where it's all dark and has more than 1 passage-way, which I think is a room/level at the top floor... I hated that place so much... I actually obtained all of the boxesto get the gem... I used that "Side-Walk" trick to get over the giant gorge(s), if I remember correctly. That was one of the HARDEST levels of my life.
Finally! I got the gym. This level gave me the most trouble. Took me about 50 tries. I got past the box bridge first try. Way easier than the box bridge on N Sanity Beach. IMO this level is harder to perfect than Slippery Climb. That level just takes some getting used to.
I don't think so. Some parts are very tricky, but I think it's possible to do the entire game 100% without ever taking damage. It's probably harder in Crash 2.
I think it's one of Cortex' mutants, somekind of potoroo just like Pinstripe. Pinstripe is loyal to Cortex and I think those 'gun guys in suits' are members of his 'clan' or something, you can compare it to mafiosi, I think :p Those big guys in Toxic Waste are similar to those guys. Correct me if I'm wrong, dude.. xD
*Sighs* This is the only level in the entire game I can't complete so I can't get the 100% ending because I can't go and get all the boxes without dying. I either die and get all the boxes later or I forget some obxcure boxes. That is so frustrating....
I finished this level after 5 tries and must say that the final 2 I was playing with the tongue out of my mouth, jumping, running, cheering for every crash jump successful... I say this level is hard... But after Fumbling in the Dark... Almost 15 days trying that...
many, many deaths at the hands of this level trying to get the gem convinced me Satan had designed it and Hitler had tested it. To make matters worse my disk was buggy, meaning it'd often crash at the loading screen! Completing it though was almost orgasmic in relief.
can someone please please please tell me how to get that gem that shows up at 1:15???? For the love of god I'm begging someone to tell me. been playing since i was 10 & still can't figure it out!! 😭😭😭
Amy Sorenson it's the blue gem path. You need to get the blue gem first by playing Toxic Waste, and getting all of the boxes in the level without dying. Once you have that, the moving gem appears in Cortex Power, as well as two other blue gem paths in Rolling Stones and Jaws of Darkness.
john tannon you are a gem amongst these gems for telling me this! I had no idea what those invisible pixelated platforms were all this time & barely figured it out. Still working on getting the blue gem. its hard not dying lol
Amy Sorenson yes it seems obvious once you know! Toxic Waste is hard without dying. One trick is to go back and play N Sanity Beach, and you should get two Aku Aku masks there. They certainly help out with the bouncing barrels!
Decent playing! Too bad you lost your 2nd mask on those TNTs near the exclamation box! Would've been nice to have the super mask for a bit in this level. Not to mention the box-bridge at the end of the level almost screwed ya! :P
Landon Kemp yeah ikr? the tnt one is easy because one tnt explode that will explode them all. but the one near the exit, you have to break every single one by jumping.
Ben Gray yes you had to backtack so much. after the gem path, you have to get your ass back to checkpoint thats after the split path because you WAY PAST IT!
This level is annoying because when I get to the end, I think that I've got all the boxes until I realise that I've missed out on the Crash crate in between the red-hot pipes.
That was absolutely PRO at the end
absolutely
I loved this game. It had it's own unique atmosphere.
That gun guys laugh cracks me up every time!
This is one of the final gems I need to get. I hate this level. That crate bridge at the end is frustrating.

memories. i mustve been 6 or 7 when this game came out. i still have it too. i got this one, the second, third and racing
Your really good. Nice recovery at the end.

Great job! I used to hate the camera angle of this level, which is the reason why I died many times on my first try.
That fucking crate bridge...
xBaconator9000x which one? there's two
crashinator1 well just hold x as your jumping on them
this is my whole childhood. i'll love this game forever. lml
or he could be talking about lights out and fumbling in the dark, the lab, and castle machinery as well

This guy is freaking awesome! Thanks so much for your help! And I realize that you always start off with 4 lives... :o
I made the exact same mistake you did at the end, with the line of boxes, didn't think I could pull it off like you did, managed somehow though :)
ugh i love this game so much
I remember always forgetting 2 boxes, but it was fun to try catch them all, and I did it, it did take some months when I was a kid but damn it was worth.
This level was one of the hardest to get 100% in.
playing on my PSP and im 86% and always threatened by this one. thanks, this helped alot :D
i used to LOVE crash bandicoot!! Some of the old games are the best!!!

Xelios the Determined Jolteon (TheDimLamp) that level is night fight
the harder for me was diggin it gem
That was some seriously nice box jumping right before the level exit, good work :)
Slick improvising on the crate bridge.

You HAVE the Cortex Power for remembering that!

Correct me if I'm wrong, dude.. xD
i'm pretty sure the green stuff we see throughout the level is acid.
watching all those was NOT a waste of time at all. Awesome.
Naughty Dog should send out a crash game consisting of nothing but hard levels. no more wasted memory!
Got TOO excited because i crossed the crate bridge breaking all boxes, and i entered the portal leaving the four boxes around it -.-
This was my favorite level as a child.
Mannn.
Hey dude, Would I be able to use this footage in an upcoming video? I would give you full credit in the video and description? Let me know - Dan
Sure, go ahead! Let me know when the video is posted.
I hate that thing at 1:30 - guess you have to make that jump rrriiigghht before the platform goes backwards. Easier said than done. Damn it!
I HATED this level with a PASSION! :O
2:30 good one
2.00 its so hard to land between those two things
i used to be obsessed with the colour green because if this level
*Sighs* This is the only level in the entire game I can't complete so I can't get the 100% ending because I can't go and get all the boxes without dying. I either die and get all the boxes later or I forget some obxcure boxes. That is so frustrating....
Nice save there at the end.

Some? Dude, all the old Crash games were the best!
Well, I personaly belive that it's just Gubberish, and that Aku Aku never started "talking" Until Crash 3.
i remember every time i tried to start this level, crash wouldnt even appear so i couldnt play it
I follow all your paths, but somehow im still missing one box...
01:53 - 02:06
many, many deaths at the hands of this level trying to get the gem convinced me Satan had designed it and Hitler had tested it.
To make matters worse my disk was buggy, meaning it'd often crash at the loading screen!
Completing it though was almost orgasmic in relief.
Well done by the way, this video helped me a lot ^.^
I love this game to death, but, this levels the fucking devil!! This levels always been such a damn pain in the ass!!
What I meant to say was, this level is really confusing. Paths go this way, paths go that way, and you can never tell where you'll end up.
i think they should keep producing this game, its frickin awesome!!! :DD
Did you edit out the bosses? It's not like they're hard, but it would have been nice to see them.
Yeah this level gave me a lot of trouble. And yeah you took the exact same route I took.
ah... we all love crate bridges...
didn't found this level that hard, but i hated the high road an road to nowhere
I guess in hell there is only one way to escape: via a crate bridge of infinite length..
Barely nailed that bridge! =P
Great work! =)
can someone please please please tell me how to get that gem that shows up at 1:15???? For the love of god I'm begging someone to tell me. been playing since i was 10 & still can't figure it out!! 😭😭😭

@OfficialFadermouth I thought the same thing haha. I'm playing Crash 2 right now.
I hated this level when I was little.
Decent playing! Too bad you lost your 2nd mask on those TNTs near the exclamation box! Would've been nice to have the super mask for a bit in this level. Not to mention the box-bridge at the end of the level almost screwed ya! :P
O M G you're a pro at this
Are there parts of Crash where you actually cannot avoid spending Aku Aku? Like an obstacle that requires you to take a hit? I can't remember.
@DevilFoxx747 the hardest level in the game imo is fumbling in the dark, that lvl is rediculous
@Mk97709 maybe it'snot??!?!
GET IT!!!!!
Dont even get me started on those motherfucking crate bridges
thank god my crash game never crashed
they should have at least given you some type of colored gem after this level and slippery climb those levels were annoying
What does the Ooga Booga say when he gets hurt? I'll always try to hear what he is saying but all I can hear is "Oh my-" and then gibberish
@johnTRAN93not for ps3 just create an internal memory card but if u hav ps2 ur screwed haha
The number of boxes in this level is 37.
I hate those crate bridges as well.
Landon Kemp yeah ikr? the tnt one is easy because one tnt explode that will explode them all. but the one near the exit, you have to break every single one by jumping.
i followed this exactly 3 times and each time it says ive missed two boxes :/
everytime i try to load this level it always freezes. i've NEVER once played cortex power
you certainly made that look easy...
2:25 The same thing happened to me xD
The OLD games are best!
Thanks a lot!
i do this perfectly the first time, and what, i forgot 1 box!
Best epic of all fuck new school bandicoot the old must come back !
A little metroidvania level
naughty dog is one of the best developers ever. valve and bethesda are two more geniuses when it comes to games
getting the gem for this level was VERY hard :/
x2
My daddy used to play this game :D
i see what you mean about that bridge
u r the master crash player
A lot of thanks ^_^
Hey did somebody know where i can get this Crash for PC?I downloaded one but it didn´t work ¬¬.Plz help me im a crash fan xD
why do gangster rats live in power plants?
LOL "WAHAHAHAHA-BOOOOOM!"
This level looks like a backtracking level.
Ben Gray yes you had to backtack so much. after the gem path, you have to get your ass back to checkpoint thats after the split path because you WAY PAST IT!
Good point.
The last level I need for 100%
no matter how good u r in this game, ull still die on the crate bridge at least once...
@emmabrain used to? o.O
Ty
crash best game ever
