Aim, shoot! Crash Bandicoot 3 is really fun!
Boxes
-----
Some boxes help, while others destroy you.
Apple: These give you a life if 100 is collected.
?: These are special boxes. They are random, which means if you hit this
box once, get a life and die, then come back here, and there will be
either another life or an apple. It's random.
No logo: These give apples.
Native's Head: This gives you protection for one hit. It doesn't work if
you drown, or fall into a pit. You can collect up to three
of these at once, which will give you invulnerability to
three hits.
TNT = Dynamite. If you spin on it, BOOM!!! If you jump on it, you have
three seconds to run away.
! = This will make a framed box (the one which you can step on but have no
effect, they're transparent) appear for you to step.
Green ! = This will make all the Nitro boxes near you explode.
Abilities
---------
All of these abilities can only be collected by defeating a boss.
Double Jump = Self explanation. Press X twice.
Belly Flop = Jump (once) and press Circle.
Death Spin = Jump (or double-jump) and press Square twice/rapidly.
Rocket Launcher = Hold R1, aim and press Circle to fire.
Run Fast = Hold R2 while controlling the D-Pad.
Boss Guide
----------
1# Boss: Tiny Tiger
This boss is easy. When he stomps at you, he stomps 5 times. Hit him, and
he'll unleash a bunch of lions at you. Of course, after that, he'll start
stomping again, only this time, with an extra stomp, which means 6 stomps.
Hit him, and another bunch of lions come out. Then he tries to stomp you
again, just run away, and then hit him. Oh yes, and this time, he tries to
stomp you about 8 times. And about the lions, don't even try doing the
spinning thing at them. Usually when you stop (spinning), another lion will
come and devour you. Just jump away from them, and spin only if they get
too close.
2# Boss: Dingodile
He has a proton blaster like thing which can shoot you. When he tries to
shoot you, run away to the right. He'll then shoot the crystal surrounding
him, making him available to be hit but wait! Not too soon! Wait until
there's an open space of the crystals, then go hit him. After that, he'll
fall down, and the thing behind him explodes, hurting him, and making
another bunch of crystals surround him. This time, beware: he has a new
move. After he does the shooting part, he will aim up and shoot. You can
see a shadow on the ground; that's where the shot will land. Just wait in
the middle, and then go hit him. After that, his backpack (nice way of
saying it, huh?) will explode, hurting him again. He has the same move like
just now, only this time more enhanced. When he shoots up, don't wait in
the middle like just now because the shot will try and hit you. Run right
(or left?) in the opposite direction of the shot's landing. Halfway, the
shot will stop and go the way you were going just now. Don't even try to
stand between a shot, another shot will come and hit you. And furthermore,
never stay in the same place twice. After that, just go hit him, and you've
won another boss.
3# Boss: N. Tropy
Firstly, he'll use his staff to throw an energy ball at you. Jump, or run
from it by going left and right. Once it goes behind you, it won't be able
to hurt you. After that, Tropy will make a laser like thing come to you.
Jump. He does a few more, and then he hits the floor, which makes the floor
into platforms for you to go to him. Jump to the other side, and spin to
him. He'll teleport to the other side. Now, he'll do the fireball-thingy
again, jump over the first one, but dodge the second one. Then just skip
over all the lasers, and go hit him when he does the platform thing. Then
repeat the process again.
4# Boss: N. Gin
You'll use Crash's sister in this fight. The only vulnerable spots in his
body are where he shoots the missiles and the stone things. Shoot the
yellow spots where he makes the missiles come out, and after destroying
that, he'll go into his second form. The second form is practically the
same, except that he's a bit tougher. Just shoot the yellow spots, and
after destroying every last bit, shoot beneath the place where N. Gin is
sitting.
5# Boss: N. Cortex
At the beginning of the fight, Uka Uka (bad) and Aku Aku (good) will fight
"glares" with each other. Dodge the lasers that Cortex shoots at you, and
when he throws the mines, dodge each of them, and when Cortex throws the
last mine, the shield around him will dissapear. Hit him then, he'll fall
down. Hit him until he falls into the vacuum in the middle, but he will be
saved by Uka Uka. Then Uka Uka and Aku Aku will "rumble" each other,
creating a tornado wherever they go. Dodge them, while dodging Cortex's
laser and mines, then go and hit him. After he falls down into the vacuum
and come out, Uka Uka and Aku Aku will fight each other, this time,
fighting and wherever they stop, will explode. Be careful not to get near.
Just repeat hitting Cortex, and you'll win.
Congratulations, you've finished the game!
