Crash Bandicoot 2 The Wrath of Cortex

too bad, I guess I am a loner on this one

I've never played but I did a search for you:

Tips:

Alternate ending sequence
Collect all 46 gems to view an alternate ending sequence.

Defeating Crunch Time
Every time freezeballs, beams, or fire comes out, jump over the fence into the inside platform. They cannot touch you there, but fireballs will land everywhere -- just watch for their shadows. There is a series of elements you have to avoid. Then shoot Crunch with the bazooka and spin Cortex. The series is: fireballs, shoot Crunch, spin Cortex, freezeballs, fireballs, shoot Crunch, spin Cortex, fire, fireballs, freezeballs, fire, shoot Crunch, spin Cortex, beams, fireballs, fire, beams, freezballs, fireballs, beams, shoot Crunch, spin Cortex. If you win, you will unlock five secret levels for which you must collect a certain amount of relics in order to open the doors.

Defeating Lo-Lo
Watch where the mask floats and shoot there.

Defeating Py-Ro
Hold Circle to charge the water cannon or you will never hit.

Defeating: Ro-Ko
Roll around the side of the area without going in the center. Every rock will come near you, and Crunch will mostly miss you.

Defeating Wa Wa
When you are facing Wa Wa, crunch will shoot things at you. He will fire blue beams that you should jump over. When he fires green things, duck. Hop from one panel to another. When you reach Crunch quickly spin. Watch out -- the panels will sink. Try to get a head start on each run. Once Crunch jumps back at the beginning, run. When you spin him the next two times, do not stop running.

Level Warp
In Level 4: Wizards and Lizards, as soon as you hit the stop watch to start the time trial, hit select. This will warp you to the end of the level.

I've never been the biggest console game player, but Crash 2 for PSone I just loved to bits -- I spent so many hours playing that game -- I was in some form of advanced larval stage at the time or something. May the force be with you, young apprentice!

Why, Craven, my dear raven - how very,
very kind of you to find all these little gems
of wisdom & secret information for me. How
DID you find them? I declare, my 6 year old
grandson has already gotten through 6 or 7
levels of this game and we only swapped games
for about 3 weeks!!! I can't thank you enough
.....it is sooo aggravating when you are doing
everything that you know of to do, but still
getting nowhere FAST! Muchas Gracias
Senor Craven. You ARE so dear. What WILL
we do while you are gone? I would get a
Game Shark, but I think it defeats the purpose
or the fun of finding it out for yourself. Never
played much as a kid, so I am busy making up
for it now.

yep it's just a few dodgings and spins at him and you are through. My problem is stage 2 master. impossible...

PS 53 and gaming.... that is awsome ... never too young man!!!
