-Debug mode:

Hold Up+X at the Naughty Dog logo. At the tite screen 

it will say "debug". 



-10 extra men:

Go to the hub of the Artic Level. 

Jump on the baby Polar Bear 25 times. 

You will receive 10 extra lives. 



-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. 



-Clear Gems:

Here's how to get some of the clear gems! 



Level 3

Beat level in the given time. Hint: when you go to the 

bonus, die right away. This gives you more time. 



Level 17

Take the death route. 



Level 21

Take the death route. 



Level 23

Take the death route. 



-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 Lives:

In the second warp room, go to the barking bear and 

jump on him until 10 extra lives come out of him. 

This can only be done once. 



-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. 



-More Extra Lives:

When you are on the 4th floor with the vortexes, get 

into the level with the bees. Instead of going 

underground to avoid the bees, hit all 5 of them away.

(it takes practice) If done correctly, you should 

receive two lives, if done again, one more life will be 

given. Do this as much as you wish. 



-Extra levels:

In the level "Unbearable", when the second polar bear 

falls off the bridge. Jump in after him to enter a 

bonus level.

In the level "Turtle Woods", after the "Check Point" box 

is an octagon on the ground with a menacing face. Do a 

Belly-flop on the face and Crash will fall through it into 

a new level.



-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 jumps. Bueno Suerte! 



-Red Gem:

To get the red colored gem, get the Air Crash warp (at 

1st river, bounce off boxes to platform.) This should 

give you a Snow Go gate at the secret warp screen. Jump 

into it and beat the level to gain the red gem. 



-Secret Levels:

When Crash's sister says "Make yourself useful and get 

batteries for my computer," wait and a bonus stage will 

appear. 

Right 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 



-Bonus voodoo mask:

Hold Up + Circle after losing a life until Crash moves 

again. Alternatively, press X(2), then hold X + Up 

while in a warp tunnel. Release the buttons when Crash 

appears to receive a voodoo mask after the next life is 

lost. 



-Finding the "Air Crash" boxes:

Go "Bear Down" (level 13) and get right to the end of 

the level. The bear throws will throw you off where 

there are little black icebergs in the water. Jump on 

these to get to the large white iceberg and get 

transported to another level where the rest of the 

boxes for "Air Crash" (level 7) are located. 



-Breaking fences:

Spin in the fences in the "Unbearable" level to break 

through instead of jumping over them. This will let 

Crash get away from the bear faster. 



-Turtle Woods level:

Locate the mask-type object on the ground in level 1, 

Turtle Woods. Press X, Circle to do a belly flop to 

reach a hidden area in the level. 

To get the Blue Gem in Turtle Woods, collect no boxes 

throughout the stage. To get the Red Gem in the second 

stage, bounce off the seal. Then, when you get below 

the gem, body slam to get the extra height needed to 

collect it.
