Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

When any one of the side cannons are destroyed, the middle weapon at the top
will start to fire.  Each of the side cannons take 12 hits each.  The top bomb
layer takes 14 hits.  When it opens, N. Gin will defend himself by traveling in
a circle, and zooming in on you.  When you win, you will earn the double-jump.

Boss 3 Tiny
-----------

Tiny, despite his name, is a huge, muscled creature.  He hops on the platforms,
relentlessly chasing you.  You need to spin him when he gets his spear stuck in
the rocks.  Periodically, some of the platforms that he jumps on will collapse.

The first thing you need to do is MOVE.  Tiny is about to jump on you.  After
he jumps onto the platform that you were just on, he will jump three more
times.  You need to keep one platform ahead of him, and can not touch him. 
After the third jump, he will get is spear stuck in the rock.  Use this time to
spin him.

After you spin him, he will jump up into the trees.  Leaves will fall down
showing where he is as he moves to the leftmost platform.  When he lands on it,
it will collapse.  After that, he will jump after you five more times.  After
the fifth jump, he will get his spear stuck again, so spin him.

He will hide in the trees again.  When he falls down, it will be onto the top
platform.  He will chase you for five times, and again will loose control over
him pitchfork.  Spin him one final time, and the third power will appear.  It
is the Tornado Spin.  Press the B BUTTON quickly and you will spin for a long
time.  You can use this to float across distant gaps and holes.

Boss 4 Neo Cortex
-----------------

The final boss fight.  As always, you are after N. Cortex.  I think it is an
easy fight.  Cortex just shoots a laser at you, and you need to dodge it.  When
he powers up his shot, you need to move to a gem, which he will destroy,
partially killing him.

In the first stage, Cortex will shoot many laser pulses across the screen, at
the bottom, from right to left.  Just jump over it.  Then it will go from left
to right, at medium height.  Duck under it, or high-jump over it.  When he
reaches the other side, he will track you, and charge the laser.  The platforms
at the top are now level, so stand on one of them.  You will hear the laser
charging.  As soon as it turns red, MOVE.  He will miss you, and instead
destroy a gem.  If you miss the gem, then he will restart this stage.

In the second stage, Cortex will shoot again from right to left.  This time he
will alternate between medium and low height.  Jump over it when it reaches
you.  Repeat when he goes from left to right.  When he is finished, stand in
front of the second gem.  He will destroy it.

In the third stage, Cortex's shots will alternate between low, medium, and very
high.  The easiest way around this problem is to stand at the far left side,
and crouch.  When he shoots very high just to the right, double-jump, and
super-spin.  All of the shots will go under you, then he will start going back.
When he is finished, yet again, go to the final gem.  Stand in front of it,
and Cortex will let loose, killing himself, or so it seems.  Run to the
power-up, and it will reveal itself to be Turbo Run.  Hold the L BUTTON to run
very quickly.

6.00                             Items and Boxes    (_)
===============================================================================

---------
6.1 Items
---------

Wumpa Fruit- A fruit that is found almost everywhere.  It will often times show
you which way you need to go to avoid an obstacle.  Collect 100 of them to get
a 1-up.

Aku Aku Mask- A mask found in some ? boxes and in mask boxes.  The first two
will give you one hit point each.  Collect a third to become temporarily
invincible.

1 Up- An image of Crash.  Collect them in ? and Crash boxes.  They will give
you an extra life.

Crystal- You need to collect one in each level to earn your way through the
game.

Gem- You can get these by breaking all of the boxes in a level, or by other
special means.  They are needed to beat the game with 100%.

Relic- There are 3 varieties.  All are gotten by beating a certain time for
each level.  The easiest to get is sapphire, followed by gold, then platinum,
the hardest.

Balloon- A balloon holding up boxes in the flying levels.  Shoot it, and the
box will fall, but you won't get credit for what was inside.

Clock- A floating clock found in the beginning of each level after you have
collected its crystal.  Get it to activate time trial mode, and thus be able to
earn a relic.

---------
6.2 Boxes
---------

Crate- A normal crate.  They will have a random amount of fruit in them.  They
are often used to reach other, higher levels.

Spring Box- A box that can be jumped on 5 times to earn 10 fruit in total. 
They are often found in pairs.  Sometimes they are used to reach otherwise
unavailable areas.  If you spin it, you will get nothing.

Mystery Crate- A mystery crate may have either a one-up, or a random amount of
fruit in it.  In addition, in the bonus levels it might contain an Aku Aku
mask.

Aku Aku-Crate- Break it open to earn a single Aku Aku mask.

Checkpoint Crate- Break this crate, and you will start from the most resent one
that you destroyed when you die, instead of the beginning of the level.

Crash Crate- Destroy it to get an extra life.  Incredible.

Slot box- A box that will switch between having different items in it.  Usually
it will have a one-up, a blank, and a ?.  It will also sometimes have an Aku
Aku mask.  If it has a TNT in the sequence, then it will always need to be
timed to detonate with that.  If you wait to long, it will start switching
faster and faster, and then turn into a steel crate.

Outline Box- A partially formed box.  Hit a ! box to fill it in.

Steel Switch box.  A box with a ! on the side.  Hit it to fill in the outline
boxes.

Nitro Crate- A very volatile explosive.  If you touch it, even slightly, it
will go off, killing everything around it.

Nitro Switch Box- A crate found at the end of the level.  It will destroy all
of the nitro boxes in the level, including those in the bonus area.

Bouncy Crate- Jump on it to reach a higher level.  Don't forget to destroy it
when you are finished.

Steel Arrow Box- Use it like the Arrow Crate, to reach a higher area.  It is
indestructible.

Iron Crate- A normal wooden crate, reinforced with iron bars.  Use a body slam
to open it.  It can also be destroyed by making it fall on your hard-head.

Steel Crate- A completely indestructible, solid-steel crate.  Made in the USA. 
Like the other steel crates, you do not need to destroy it to get all of the
boxes in a level.  However, if a slot box turned into one of these, then it
will count against your score.  They are usually used to reach other, distant
areas.  If one of these falls on you, you will die.

Health Box- These are found only in the flying levels.  Destroy it, not the
balloon holding it, and you will gain back 20% of your health.

Time Box- Found only in Time Trial mode, use these to pause the clock for the
number of seconds indicated on the side.  They are available in three flavors,
one, two, and three second pauses.

fruit.  Go right and spin the lizard.  Continue going right, and spin the
flower.  Hit the Checkpoint, and you should have 8 boxes.  Go right and jump on
the ? platform.

BONUS STAGE

Go right and smash through the wall of boxes.  Continue going right, destroying
everything in sight, until you reach the metal arrow box.  Use it to get the
one-up above you.  Continue right until you reach the end of the Bonus Stage,
where you should have 16 boxes.

Jump on the box floating in the air so you can get onto the steel box to the
right.  Jump up for a one-up.  Go right, and climb up the metal platforms.  Use
the arrow box to reach the top.  Hit the checkpoint for 29 boxes.

Get the Aku Aku mask, which will protect you from one hit.  Go right smashing
more boxes and killing more plants until you reach the purple crystal floating
in the air.  Grab it, obviously.  Jump on top of the boxes to the right until
you fall on the arrow box.  Use that to get back up.  Go right until the end,
where a gem will await you if you got all 42 boxes.  Grab it and stand on the
platform to exit.

TIME TRIAL

First go forward until you can kill the lizard.  Do so, then go back and hit
the clock.  You will lose any masks that you might have.  Race forward with the
speed shoes power up, if you have it (L). You get it when you beat Cortex for
the first time.  Destroy the 1 second box that you encounter.  Spin through
more boxes and enemies, as needed, without stopping.  It is generally better,
though, for you to avoid boxes and enemies, because it is faster.

When you get to the BONUS area, double jump onto the steel box, and get the 3
second box above.  Drop down to the right, and spin so you kill the lizard.  Go
right until you reach the steel platform.  Double jump onto the medium height
one, and then go up and right.  Get the mask, but only if you think you need

Go left, dodging the mines.  Go down and kill the eels as you do so.  Hit the
checkpoint for 28 boxes.  Go right for a "long time" and hit the next
checkpoint for 44 boxes.

Go right, above the mine, then down slightly for a one-up.  Go above the next
mine, then right for yet another checkpoint.  Hit it for 52 boxes, then get the
mask.  Go right and up, taking out the eels.  Grab the crystal floating there.
Take out the stack of boxes next to the mine very carefully, by pushing down
when you swim so you don't charge into the mine.  Go left for the gem and the
end of the level.

TIME TRIAL

Press the A button continuously, for the entire level, if you can.  Hit the
clock, and go right.  Dodge the fish, and go below the mine.  Destroy the time
and mask boxes in the stack.  Do down, dodging the fish, then left.  Spin the
eels when you need to, but dodge them, by going all of the way to the other
side if you can.  Go right, avoiding and spinning enemies, and take out the 2
second box in the stack.  Go right and get the mask, then up, taking out the
eels.  Go left to end the level.

Go right, and turn the flower into plant pulp.  Fall down the hole below you.
Get the boxes and come back up.  Go right, and hop on the TNT.  Do not spin it,
unless you want to be turned into a pile of ash.  Jump over the spikes to the
right.  Use the spring boxes to get the bouncy box at the top, then destroy the
wooden one.  Hit the checkpoint for 14 boxes.  Go right, and into the bonus
area.

BONUS AREA

Go right.  Jump onto the TNT box, and use it's momentum to get the Crash box on
top of the column to the right.  If you miss, then back off, quickly!  Come
back and destroy any remaining boxes, then jump to get the Crash box.  Go
right, and use the pile of two boxes to get to the top of the steel platform. 
You only need one of them for it to work.  Get the Crash box and go right. 
Bounce to the top of the spring boxes for a ? box with a mask in it. Rare.  Go
right, and use the lower boxes to reach the higher ones.  Go right to end the
Bonus Area.

NORMAL LEVEL

Go right, across the spike pit.  Jump on the boxes to gradually go down.  The
fruit will tell you the way.  Spin the boxes at the bottom, and hit the second
checkpoint.  Obliterate the lizard.  Go right and spin the bird that attacks.
Use the steel boxes next to the wall to get onto the elevator.  Jump left for a
one-up box, then use the elevator to go right.  Jump on the TNT, and go right
to kill another bird.  Use the pile of boxes that you will encounter to get the
Crash box at the top.

RED GEM PATH

If you have the red gem, and are going for the level's second clear gem, then
fall down the hole to the right, and go left.  Kill the lizard, then jump on
the platform.  Go left, and jump from one steel box to another.  Then, from
solid ground, jump to an arrow box, then another, until you reach the red gem.

Go right, and kill the plant.  Ride the elevator down, then the next one to the
arrow.  Jump right, when the platform is there, then continue right.  Kill the
dart blower, and get the gem that he is guarding.  Go back to the arrow, and
use it to go up to the platform at the left when it down.  Jump on the next
arrow, then use the platform to go right.  When you land on the platform, get
ready to jump to the next one, and slide the spiked lizard when it is safe. 
Take out the bird, and the next spiked lizard.  Ride the platform, and follow
the fruit to an arrow.  Use the arrows and platforms to go right.  Take out the
plants, then go down.  Jump over the dart, then take down its source.

Ride the next platform, and take out another dart blower and plants.  Slide
into another spiked lizard, then double-jump onto a platform.  Take the arrows
up, and to the exit.  For you to reach the third arrow, you need to hold the
jump button down when you bounce on the second one.  This will make you jump
higher.  Double jump with this, and you can make it.  Now you need to backtrack
to the entrance of the hole that you used to get into this area.  Do so, and
join the normal level, in progress.

NORMAL LEVEL

If you don't have the red gem, or don't want to go that way, go right instead.
Hit the checkpoint for 68 boxes.  Get the mask to the right, then ride the
platform right.  Get the crystal hovering over the steel crate.  Then continue
right.  On the platform that moves up and down, there is a box at the top.
Destroy it.  Go right, riding on more platforms, until you reach the end and a
gem.

TIME TRIAL

Take out the boxes and the plant, the hit the clock.  Go right, and jump onto
the 1 second box.  Double jump off of it onto the platform right.  Use the
arrow boxes to get another time box, and to get to the right.  Press right when
you fall into the pit, and you will bounce on the box and over the other
obstacles.  When you get to the elevator, duck, and double jump as soon as you
can reach the arrow box.

Get the mask at the pile of boxes, and the 1 second box there.  Go right, and
jump from one elevator to the next one as quickly as you can.  Plow your way
through the boxes.  When you reach the elevator that moves up and down, jump as
high as you need to in order to get the 1 second box at the top.  Take the
elevators left, super spin jumping to get across quickly.

Go right, and jump over the nitro.  Counter the penguin's spin with one of your
own.  Grab the box, and jump over the next nitro.  Jump between the two bounce
boxes for 20 fruit.  Be careful when sliding on the ice to the right.  Grab the
mask and kill the seal to the right.  Fall down into a chase section.
You will be chased by a giant snow monster.  He will crush anything in his
path.  If you miss a box, then he will get it if it is in front of him.  He
will always be just behind you, so stand about in front of the box and he will
destroy it.

Stay to the right at first.  Smash through the boxes, and you will get a mask.
After that, stay to the center to avoid a penguin.  Follow the fruit, to the
right, to dodge an electric fence.  Don't want "Criminal Crash Caught by
Cataclysmic Catalyzing Electric Fence" to happen, not do we.  After some boxes
and mines, go to the left, right, left.  Then stay in the middle.  Run into the
second checkpoint.  Go to the right, then left after the stack of nitro.  Stay
in the middle after that.  When you get to a wall of nitro, jump over it,
slightly to the right, and you will get a one-up.  If you miss it, then big guy
can still destroy it for you.  Stay in the center, and you will reach the end
of this section.

You will fall, and land on the third checkpoint box.  Go right, and jump over
the nitro on ice.  Jump right, spin the penguin, and still yourself on the ice.
Jump onto the mask, if you want it, and then jump right.  Carefully jump over
the nitro box, and onto dry snow.  Get the crystal.  As you go right, you will
be attacked by seals.  It is your job to seal the fate of the seal.  Kill it,
or them, and keep going.  Hop on the Bonus platform.

BONUS AREA

Go right, and jump onto the arrow to get a bouncy box.  You can just make it to
the platform if you press right, but can get farther if you press jump just
before you land, and hold it as you bounce on the box.  Time your jump on the
switching box so you will hit it when it changes to a Crash face, and use it to
get the box above.  If you wait to long, it will become a steel box, which will
keep you from earning the gem.  Go right, and jump on the TNT.  Get the one-up
box, and quickly go right.

Don't hit the ! box yet.  Destroy the bouncy box, then hit it.  Use, and abuse
the arrow box, then abandon it (get the normal box above, destroy the arrow
box, and leave the bonus area.)

NORMAL LEVEL

Jump right, and over the nitro box, then hit the nitro !.  Jump right, and kill
the seals that attack.  End the level with a gem.

TIME TRIAL

Take out the penguin, then come back for the clock.  Use speed shoes whenever
you can, as always.  Hit it, then jump over the nitro box, and the next nitro
box.  Get the one second box.  Go right, and get the mask, jump right, and plow
through the seal and boxes for a 2 second box.  Fall down the hole.

If the big guy gets a time box, then it won't count, so you need to get all of
them yourself, lazy.  Also, if you can, hold B, turbo, the entire time.  Get
the two time boxes to the right.  Then the mask and box, also right.  Dodge
obstacles, and get two 3 second boxes, again to the right.  Stay in the center
to avoid the barrage of penguins.  Dodge the nitro box, and stay center.  Go to
the right for a one-second box, then stay in the center for a mask.  If you
managed to hold onto all of them, then you will be invincible now, and can just
plow straight through everything.  If so, then it will last you to the end of
the section.  If not, then stay in the center to avoid most obstacles.

When you fall, press right so you don't waste time on the box.  Go right,
jumping over the nitro's, and get the mask.  You might become invincible again.
Continue to go right, spinning away seals.  Ignore the Nitro detonator, and
keep moving forward until you reach the end.

Go right, smashing through boxes.  You will come to a mouse, which is an easy
enemy.  Continue right until you reach the Bonus platform.

BONUS LEVEL

Smash the boxes, and jump across the gap.  DON'T hit the ! box yet.  Smash the
box inside of the line boxes, then hit it, if you want.  All it makes are steel
boxes, which are worthless.  Get the boxes there.  If you can't reach the space
in between the bouncy boxes, use R + A to jump higher.  Jump across the gap.
Quickly and carefully jump over the ! Box, or jump on the boxes to get over all
of it, and smash the timer box in the outline boxes.  Then go back and hit this
! box, and any others that you might have missed.

Go right some more.  Destroy the lower box in the stack with the bounce boxes
so you can jump inside of them.  Destroy the two stacks of TNT boxes to the
right, while getting the one-up if you think it is worth the risk.  On the
staircase of TNT and miscellaneous boxes in front of you, jump on the TNT to
reach the arrow box, then jump right.  The TNT will take care of the rest.
Destroy the TNT without sliding into it, which I did.  From here it should be
to simple even for this FAQ to reach the end of the Bonus Level.

NORMAL LEVEL

Go right, and spin the scrubbing bubbles creature.  Use high jump (once again R
+ A) to get in between the bouncy boxes to destroy them.  Jump on the TNT boxes
to the right.  To get under the small gap, press RIGHT (optional) then press R.
Press RIGHT to keep moving.  Hit the first checkpoint.  Go right, and slide
under the pipe, being sure not to hit the mouse when your slide runs out.  Go
right, and jump over the first nitro box.  Stand to the side of the nitro's and
jump and spin to destroy the box hovering above.  Then jump over them.  Go
right, destroying boxes and enemies.

Jump carefully over the two nitro's.  Slide under the pipes, and don't stand up
where the nitro is.  We will come back for the box above it.  Get the timer box
in the middle of the nitro's before time runs out.  Spin the boxes and get to
checkpoint two.  Go right, again destroying more boxes and enemies until you
reach the nitro !.  Get the one-up box if you want it, or just hit the !.
Backtrack to the pipes, and get the two boxes there.

Go right, smashing through boxes and enemies until you come to a timer box and
TNT boxes.  Jump over the stack, and smash the normal box to the right.  Then
spin the timer box.  Use the stack of boxes to the right to reach the Crash box
in the air (how is this thing kept suspended?).  Go right until you reach the
third checkpoint.  Continue going right.  When you reach the boxes suspended
above you, use the high jump (for a final time R + A) to reach the highest
ones.  Grab the crystal to the right in a shower of purple sparks.  Slide under
the low hanging platform and go to the end of the level.

TIME TRIAL

Destroy the two boxes in front of you, and hit the clock.  You should be able
to keep the speed shoes on (L) for nearly all of the level.  Go right, and
jump over the stack of boxes.  Smash the 2 second one at the end.  Continue
going right.  Slide under the low hanging box, and jump over the TNT.  When you
reach the pipes, wait half a second, then slide under and you will take out the
mouse.  Get the three second box (duh).  Spin and jump over boxes and enemies.
When you reach the pipes, you will get a mask.  If you want to kill some time,
use it to hit the second nitro box so you can slide.  It will shave a second or
two off of your time.  This is yet another thing that I discovered accident-
ally, through my many mistakes.

Continue to go right, and double jump over the TNT box, and get the mask.
Continue to go right, and jump over obstacles, and get time boxes.  When you
reach the grey platforms, you can just make it with a normal jump form one to
the next.  You will reach the end with, hopefully, plenty of time to spare.

----------------------
7.1.6 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.

Go right and jump on the penguin to reach the box.  Continue going right, and
grab the mask. Slide across the ice, and kill the seal.

BLUE GEM PATH

If you are not going for the second gem, then skip ahead to the normal level.
Slide across the ice, and kill the seal.  Jump to the next platform, and stand
at its edge, wait for the penguin to walk to the edge.  When it is at the edge,
jump on it.  Then double-jump to reach the blue gem suspended above.

Go right, and jump over the pit.  Kill the penguin, and repeat for the second
one.  Jump onto the ice.  Continue until you reach the edge.  Follow the fruit
down, and spin the bear.  Bounce on the arrows, and land at the very edge of
the ice.  When it is save, go past the crushers, and kill the two penguins. 
Jump across the gap, and carefully slide and jump on the ice.  Kill the polar
bear, and jump again.  As you land on the blind jump, spin to take out a
penguin.  Jump up and right, on the alternating ice and steel, until you reach
solid ground.

Go right, past the crunchers when it is safe, and bounce on the arrows.  
Follow the fruit down, and spin a bear as you go.  Go right, and past the final
super Crash crunching killer of the section.  Grab the gem, and exit.  You will
drop down, and continue the level until it ends.

NORMAL LEVEL

Kill the penguin if you need to, and continue right.  When you reach the snow,
you will see a wooden pole that crashes into the ground.  If you hit it, it
will be crushed Crash.  Carefully go past them, and jump to the arrow box. 
Hold the jump button to reach the bouncy box at the top.  Go right and fall
down the hole.

Run into the checkpoint for 14 boxes.  Quickly go right to get 4 more boxes,
then go to the id left and run over the speed pad.  Go right, left, then
center.  Jump over the penguin, then get more boxes.  Stay in the center,
getting more boxes, until you reach the second checkpoint.  Get more boxes, and
speed some (B) in order to prevent the hulking Crash killer behind you from
catching up.  Jump over the three row of landmines, and stay in the center.

Dodge the penguins, then speed for a second time.  Speed some more to avoid
tall, light, and ugly behind you.  Go past the electric fences, and speed some
more, staying just to the right of center.  Then go to the middle, then quickly
right.

Fall on the third checkpoint.  Go right and carefully doge the crunchers again.
Jump on the bouncy boxes that are partially hidden behind the ice.  Bouncy,
bouncy, bouncy.  Jump onto the stack of boxes, and body slam (A + R) them, to
shatter them into thousands of pieces.  Jump right, and onto the bonus
platform.

BONUS

Go right, then left.  Carefully jump The Path of the Fruit, and onto the bouncy
box.  When it breaks, follow the fruit trail.  When you reach the platform with
the TNT on it, activate it, then jump to the arrow box at the left.  Carefully
jump exactly in the middle of the ! Nitro to safely detonate all of the
Nitro's.  Go right, and down.  Jump exactly where the fruit is, then body slam
the stack.  Exit.

NORMAL

Go right, and up to the arrow boxes.  Use them to go right.  Snatch the
crystal, and exit with a shiny new gem.

TIME TRIAL

Take out the penguin, and the group of four boxes, then go back and hit the
clock.  Sprint forward, and jump the gap.  Double-jump right, and hit the box
that gets in your way.  Jump over the TNT box, and spin the mask, then plow
your way right.  Slide quickly on the ice, and jump and spin past the penguins.
Dart past the crunchers before they go down, then take the arrow right in one
bounce.

Fall down the hole, and keep the dash button down the entire time, or when it
is easy if you are not going for a good relic.  Take the speed pad at the
level, then stay in the center to avoid some obstacles, and get another speed
pad.  Stay in the center, and jump over the penguins.  Continue in the center,
and jump over more penguins that just barely get in the way sometimes.
Continue going again, for a while, then jump over several rows of mines.  After
that, jump over some penguins, then more penguins.  Go slightly right to avoid
a mine, then go all of the way right, so you aren't electrified.

As you fall down, back into a normal level, press forward so you don't land on
the box.  Dart past more crunchers, then body slam a stack of iron crates for
the 2 second box they protect.  Go up the steel boxes, and from the rightmost
one, double-jump directly onto the snow.  Jump over the boxes, and onto the
exit pad.

Checkpoint Check
----------------

Note: The checkpoints work automatically when you destroy a blimp.

First: 5 boxes     Second: 19 boxes     End: 37 boxes


In this level, you are flying with a jetpack.  Your job is to destroy all of
the blimps so you can reach the end.  As you go forward, boxes will gradually
appear.  Shoot them, NOT THE BALLOONS.  You will eventually encounter two
airplanes.  Shoot each of them out of the sky with a single shot per plane, or
dodge them.  Two more airplanes will attack.  After that, you will encounter a
blimp.  When the blimp gets into range, the head in the center will start to
flash.  That is your cue to start shooting.  Only the head is vulnerable, so
you need to stay aimed at that part.

When it falls, you will be ambushed by more airplanes.  Shoot or dodge them,
and hit all of the boxes that appear.  The last one is a health box, which will
restore some of your health.  Later, a nitro box hanging from a parachute will
slowly fall into your path.  I'd hate to be the person flying the plane that
dropped that.  There is no nitro detonator, so you will need to shoot it. 
Continue, not that you have a say in the matter, and you will be attacked by
airplanes again.  This time there are three of them.  One more time, dodge or
shoot them.  After that will come the bombers.  Dodge them, or shoot them in a
vast fireball.  Then destroy the second blimp for the second checkpoint.

Blow up the boxes, and defeat the airplanes that come after you, being careful
not to run into the nitro unless you need run out of time to shoot them, and
want the gem.  Eventually you will come to a wall of bombers.  Looks like
cortex used all of his military resources here.  Keep shooting, and dodging the
fighters that are mixed in, and go to the top right corner.  Go through the
boxed in area, and you will get a speed boost.  Do this five more times, and
you will encounter bombers.  Destroy them, and then go after the blimp.  This
one is tougher, but you can do it.  When it erupts in a fountain of flames, the
level will end.

TIME TRIAL

Run into the clock, as opposed to shooting it.  If you shoot the balloon
holding a time box, you don't get any credit, so make sure to shoot only the
box.  Later, when you reach the blimp, make sure that you are shooting the face
before it is possible, and keep your sight in the face, even if you are moving.
You need all of the time boxes and you need to shoot all of the blimps almost
as quickly as possible in order to get the platinum relic.  Keep shooting the
blimp, ignoring any of the missiles to get the best time.  Do the same thing to
the second blimp.

When you reach the wall of floating bombs, go in the upper right corner.  You
need to go through this, and all of the other speed pads, in order to get a
good time.  Keep going until you reach the third and final balloon.  Defeat it
the same way you defeated the other ones, and you will be victorious.
