You can load/save/delete game if you watch the LOAD/SAVE screen.

You can go to the death route only if you're not died any time in the level.

In the bonus if you die, you don't lose a life. Only you must go to bonus
second time.


Every time you get the first clear gem from destroying all the boxes (not boxes
those are already iron).

If you have already the Crystal, getting the clock you can go to Time Trial and
try getting the Sapphire, Gold or Platinum Relic. Percentage doesn't any effect
what Relics there are. It's the same is it Sapphire, Gold or Platinum. Of
course, Sapphire is easiest, second-easy is Gold and Platinum is hardest.

Often you get the second clear gem if you go end of bonus platform. If you want
to go to bonus platform, you need the coloured gem from another level's death
route. In the Secret Warp Room, the second clear gems are like Crystal, but you
can go to Time Trial also if you haven't got the second clear gem.

Boxes:

Normal Box: It's brown and you get Wumpa-Fruits destroying it.

Jumping Box: It's also brown and it has down-up boards. If you jump on it, you
get very many Wumpa-Fruits.

? Box: It's brown and it has yellow ? There is a surprise.

have three Aku Aku masks, you get undamaged for short time.

Checkpoint: It's brown and it has yellow C. If you die, you can start from last
Checkpoint, if you destroyed it.

Crash/Coco Box: It's Brown and it has Crash/Coco. There you get an extra life.

Slot Box: Every time it changes faster and faster. After a short time, it
changes to Iron Box.

Arrow Box: It's brown and it has an arrow to up. You can jump high on it. If
you destroy it, you get Wumpa-Fruits.

Iron Arrow Box: It's grey and it has an arrow to up.

Iron Box: It's grey. If this comes to your head from up, you die.

Steel Box: It's grey and brown. You can destroy it, if you do Body Slam or
