6/18/04 Final- Minor correction. I incorrectly named Snow Joe, Snow Job.
Thanks to JARED LYNCH for the correction.
3/4/04 Final- Once more, I believed that the guide was finished, yet it was
not. This time, however, all that was done was that I added
a few new highscores, thanks to da prenz.
1/23/04 Final- Yet again, I believe that the guide is finished. This time I
added my contributor name to the top, and updated the
copyright notice, as well as deleted a few extra line breaks
that MS Word put in a while ago, and made the Version History
and FAQ sections look better. I also updated the copyright.
11/25-26/03 1.05- Spaced out and slightly reorganized the TOC. Also made the
enemy list look better. Finally, got rid of some of the extra
lines that Word inserted. Looks like I'll be using notepad
from now on.
7/16/03 1.04- Added a tip in the red gem path, I was asked the same
question a lot.
7/11/03 1.03- Minor, technical changes.
6/26/03 1.02- Added one best reader's time. Also, added the Thanks
section, which I forgot last time.
6/25/03 1.01- Added best reader's time for all of the levels.
6/24/03 1.0- The walkthrough is complete for now.
6/22/03 .85- All of the basic walkthrough is done. Just need the gems. I
am also working on relic times. I also need to continue the
story.
6/19/03 .65- More then half of the walkthrough, and most of the enemies
sections are complete. Most of the rest of it is finished.
I still need to correct formatting differences between the
sections that have come up.

1.00 Introduction (_)
===============================================================================
This is my walkthrough for Crash Bandicoot The Huge Adventure, for GBA. The
most current version can always be found at www.cheatcc.com. In its finished
form, it shall be a complete and detailed guide for all aspects of the game.
If you have any input, contact me at kenbarney@optonline.net, with Crash
Bandicoot as the subject. All people who contribute will be given credit.
An interesting tidbit about the game. The N. in many of the bosses stands for
Nintendo.

2.00 Story (_)
===============================================================================
As quoted from the instruction manual:
On board a mysterious space station and orbiting high above planet Earth,
Cortex is putting the finishing touches on his latest and greatest achievement:
A shrinking ray of global proportions, this diabolical tool will literally
allow him to minimize the planet to a size barely larger than a grapefruit! The
Planetary Minimizer is linked to crystals and gems strategically placed in
various locales around the world. When executed, the ray will effectively
shrink EVERYTHING, even the Earth! It is a true work of genius, as evil as it
may be.
Finally, the time has arrived, and he's done it! A massive bolt jolts across
space in a blue arc, enveloping the planet and shrinking it to only a few yard
across.
HAS CORTEX FINALLY WON?
As quoted from the game:
On a mysterious space station orbiting high above the earth...
Uka Uka: Cortex, remind me why I keep you around. You have failed me one too
many times.
Cortex: Uka Uka! Forgive me... I've been wasting all these years trying to
vanquish that brainless bandicoot! He is of no importance to us... We want to
take over the world!
Uka Uka: I've heard it all before, little scientist! What is so different this
time?
Cortex: Trust me Uka, I have a little plan to bring earth's puny inhabitants
down to size...
Cortex: At last, my planetary minimizer is complete! Earthlings will bow to my
superior intellect! Muahahahahaha! Finally, after all these years of abuse,
the tables have turned! Who's the little guy now? I, Neo Cortex, am your
ruler. You will look up to me! Hahaha! I have finally won! Now nothing can
stop me, not even that little bandicoot!
Aku: Crash, Coco, the world needs your help. Cortex has shrunk our planet to
the size of a grapefruit. We must stop him.
Coco: It looks as if Cortex is using the crystals to power his shrinking
machine... Crash, if you can find the proper crystals from around the world, I
think I can build a device to reverse the effects.
Aku: Good luck crash. You must find the crystals so we can put an end to
Cortex's evil scheme.
Ending
Cortex: You fool! It will take me forever to fix this mess!
Coco: Super! You got all the crystals! Let's hope there's enough power in
these to reverse Cortex's dirty work.
Aku: Crash, you've done well... But Cortex is still a threat to us, as his
space station and planetary minimizer have not been destroyed. You must go
back and retrieve the gems and relics from each location.
Final Ending
Cortex: You idiot! What have you done? You have destroyed the stabilizer
crystals! The unrestrained power of the minimizer is highly unpredictable!
All enemies: Arrgh! Ahhh!!
Monster: What have you done to us?
Monster: You will pay little bandicoot!

4.00 FAQ/Tips/Glitches (_)
===============================================================================
--------
Glitches
--------
Sometimes you can spin into giant eels, but will die anyway.
Underwater, sometimes when you spin out the bottom two boxes, and there are two
above it, the bottom box will land normally, but the upper one will fall
through the lower box, then instantly settle on top of the box. If the lower
box is a TNT one, then this will start its countdown.
Sometimes when crash moves by himself (ex. Breathing animations) this can cause
you to die when he touches an enemy after you have stopped him.
In the green gem path, at the very beginning where there are 6 boxes hanging
from the ceiling, there is a glitch where you will sometimes be stuck up there
for a few seconds.
Sometimes you can touch a squid in an underwater level, and not die.
In the red gem path, use the bottom arrow to go up, then press left when you
come down. Occasionally you might get stuck under the face-thingy in the wall.
-------------------
Tips and Extra Help
-------------------
You don't lose lives in bonus area's or some of the colored gem paths.
The game may make extra checkpoints for you, after you die 7 times with out
hitting a checkpoint. It will also start you off with a mask after this time.
You can become invincible in a bonus area, but it wears off when you leave, or
when the time runs out.
If you super-body slam just to the right of a nitro box, you will detonate them
while still being safe.
If you are standing still just outside of an enemy's range, and Crash pulls out
his Gameboy the enemy can detect you and attack.
---
FAQ
---
Q1. How many times do you need to die before you get a mask automatically?
A1. You need to die 7 times between hitting checkpoints.
Q2. I got all of the relics and gems but I am not at 100%. What gives?
A2. You need to get only gold or platinum relics or they don't count. Also,
you don't need to beat the gold relic time, you can get it exactly.
Q3. What happened, I got three masks in an underwater level but nothing
happened?
A3. In an underwater level, you can't become invincible.
Q4. I shot a balloon in the flying level, but didn't get the stuff in the box.
A4. You only get the contents of a box if you destroy the actual box, not the
balloon. This is true for time boxes as well. You do get credit for
destroying the box, though.
Q5. How could I return to a bonus platform when I died in the normal level?
A5. The game will count the bonus platform as a checkpoint, like in the first
crash game. However, I do not count it as one.
Q6. The arrow box at ________ won't let me go far enough.
A6. If you press jump before you land on the arrow box, you can jump farther.
Q7. How do I get the second clear gem?
A7. To get the second clear gem, first you need to get the right colored gem.
When you do this, the outline of a gem will turn solid. Jump on the
outline to go to the colored gem path. The clear gem is in there
somewhere.
Q8. How do I get the outline of a gem to fill in?
A8. You need to get that colored gem, and it will fill up. See 0008 to find
where all of the colored gems are.
Q9. Where do I get the colored gem from?
A9. Look at section 0008 to find it.
Q10. How do I get the nitro boxes?
A10. You need to hit the green ! box. Usually it is near the end of the level.
Q11. After the third checkpoint, in level 16, there is a wall to high for me
jump over. How do I get around it?
A11. To get over the wall, stand next to it, and crouch down. Then jump, and
double jump at the top. This will give you enough height to clear the
wall.
-From Philiwily90
Q12. Help me, I can't jump high enough.
A12. There are several ways that you can jump higher. One of them is to crouch
first, by pressing the R button, then jump. It will make you jump one
"block" higher. Also, if you are on an arrow box, press jump before you
land on it, and hold it down, and you will go higher
-sandscorpion
Q13. How do you damage Cortex, the last boss?
A13. To damage him, dodge his shots until the platforms under the gems switch
so you can stand on them. Do so, and wait until the targeter changes to
solid red. Get down immediately, and Cortex will destroy the gem.
Repeat this 2 more times, and you will win.

5.2 Bosses 0052
---------------
Boss 1 Dingodile
----------------
This is the first boss that you will face. It is a fairly easy fight. He will
walk back and forth, shooting underwater missiles straight up at the ceiling.
When it hits, a spike will fall. If either the spike or the missile hit you,
it means the end of a life, and the start of a new one, if you can. If you
touch him, then you will die, but if you touch his force field, then you will
come out intact.
At the start, he will walk across the screen, and then he will shoot missiles.
Try to stay in between his shots. When he shoots a missile straight up at the
far left, he will just stand there, walking in place. The piece of rock will
fall on him, and his force field will go down. He will shake himself,
dumbfounded. This is the time for you to move in. Spin him, and then back off
quickly.
Sharks will come from the sides and swim across. Attack any that get in your
way. He will walk back and forth, and then shoot more missiles. This time
make sure that you are either in front of, or behind where he is shooting,
because the missile shots are closer together this time. When he is in the
corner, again a spike will fall on him. Move in, and whack him again.
Again sharks will attack; so spin any that get in your way. His attack plan
won't be any better this time, but the sharks have another idea. They will
attack at the same time that he is shooting. Avoid the spikes and missiles,
and spin the sharks if needed. You would think by now that he would realize
how to dodge a falling spike, but he doesn't. When his force field goes down
for the third time, spin his. It will be his doom. Swim to the power up that
appears, and grab it. It is the super body slam (A + R). This will destroy
nearby crates and enemies.
Boss 2 N. Gin
-------------
In all of the other games, N. Gin was the second to last boss, but in this
game, he was moved up to the second boss. The idea is the same, though, as in
the other games. You need to shoot all of his parts that are attacking you.
When all are destroyed, N. Gin will blow up, and you will win.
After a few seconds, and a strange sound, N. Gin will attack. The first weapon
that you should take out is the bottom one. Any one attack from it doesn't do
much damage, but there are a lot of them, and they move quickly so you can't
dodge them easily. It will only take about 7 hits. After that, try to shoot
evenly on both of the side weapons. He will try to dodge your attacks by
moving from side to side, and by coming closer, and going farther.
