Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game)	comment	Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is the second installment in the Crash Bandicoot series, and the second PS1 Crash game overall.One year after the original game, Dr. Neo Cortex, the Big Bad of the previous game, turns to Crash for help in an effort to prevent the planet Earth from facing certain doom. All the planets in the solar system will align soon, and, according to Cortex, create enough energy to tear the world apart. His solution to the crisis lies in crystals: In the aftermath of the original game, he discovered the Master Crystal, but that alone will not be enough. He needs Crash to collect 25 Slave Crystals scattered through the islands and aboard his space headquarters so he can contain the energy of the planetary alignment and save Earth.However, Dr. Cortex's former henchman, Doctor Nitrus Brio, has also returned, with a grudge against his former boss. N. Brio would rather have Crash collect 42 Gems instead of the Crystals, in the hopes of destroying Cortex and his space station, the fate of the Earth be damned. To stop Crash, N. Brio has sent out an army of cyborgs, robots, and evolved animal henchmen across the islands.Using an ancient "Warp Room" as his base, Crash must now go across the islands he explored in the original game (which are now experiencing a harsh winter period◊) and up aboard the Cortex Vortex, collecting Crystals and Gems, discovering secret Bonus Rooms and other hidden routes, and defeating Nitrus Brio's henchmen.Crash Bandicoot 2 improves several elements from its predecessor and adds a more player-friendly save feature, a more balanced difficulty, improved graphics, and additional moves. It also marks the introduction of Crash's sister, Coco, who permanently replaces Tawna from the first game.This game, along with the first game and Warped, were remade on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC with updated graphics and new features, as part of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c	comment	The secret areas in this game are even more so, often requiring extreme acrobatic feats and/or Violation of Common Sense to reach. One requires you to fall down into a pit the polar bear chasing you recently opened, despite every video game ever telling you that pits are bad. Another has you jumping on top of a stack of Nitro crates, which you have been taught up to this point to avoid like the plague (although this one is a bit less insane, since they're set to the side of the path and are in the shape of stairs, and they also don't bounce like the others). Yet a third has you passing through an innocuous-looking fake wall in a Nitro-filled room. With bizarre requirements like these, it's no wonder future secret areas were basically relegated to Gem Paths and Death Routes.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_1c4e1b6b	comment	Several varieties of The Spiny appear, to accommodate the fact that the player can perform several types of attacks. For example, a basic turtle enemy either has the sides of its shell laced with deadly spikes (making the full-frontal spin attack impossible), or it has sawblades on its back instead (which prevents players from defeating them by jumping). Some enemies switch back and forth between being unable to be spun into and being unable to be jumped on, especially in the later levels.

The slots accept each crystal and gem when Crash collects them and gets to that level's end point, and any empty slots will mean that there is still a crystal or gem yet to be recovered. What makes them lousy, though, is about how hard it is to get some of those gems, especially the colored gems. You'll also have some Last Lousy Crates in some levels. There is one well hidden in the bonus round of Cold Hard Crash, which is easy to miss as it's offscreen.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_26c4741a	comment	Advanced Movement Technique: From this game onwards, the series introduces the Slide Attack move for Crash. It can give Crash a short burst of speed, but his movement will get halted for a short moment (because it's the same button as his "prone crawling" move) before he can move again. The "advanced" technique here is to cancel his slide into his Spin Attack which eliminates the halt. This game also lets you jump higher if you do it immediately after a slide. There was also a glitch where pressing the jump and Spin Attack button together results in a higher jump. The "advanced" technique here is to combine the two aforementioned techniques, which helps in speedruns, allowing you to pass obstacles quicker or get airborne items easier.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_29c50e28	comment	A secret area in "Hangin' Out" involves a long hanging section that requires you to lift up your legs at certain moments to allow indestructible enemies to pass harmlessly below you. You have never been required to use this move before, and even the manual makes no reference to it. Newcomers to the series are thus forced to rely on trial and error in order to make it through successfully. note This doesn't really count as a Noob Bridge since it's in a secret area.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_355007c3	comment	Brilliant, but Lazy: Crash is implied to be this at the beginning and the end of the game. He's capable of tremendous feats of acrobatics, has insane amounts of stamina, can beat an explosives-crazed kangaroo, a pair of samurai Komodo dragons, an insanely strong thylacine, a Humongous Mecha piloted by a cyborg genius, and anything the woods, rivers, glaciers, mountains, ruins and space station can throw at him, and yet he'd much rather lie down on the beach and take a kip.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_35efd14b	comment	Infinite 1-Ups: In Un-Bearable, after you get into the secret area, there'll be a checkpoint crate, 2 1-Up crates floating just offscreen, and a Bottomless Pit nearby. Get the 2 life crates, fall into the pit and lose a life, respawn, and you can get the 2 crates again, so every time you lose a life, you gain two - this can be repeated ad nauseam.note Normally, life crates will turn into Wumpa crates if Crash dies, but not for these particular two crates. May be a case of a Good Bad Bug. In Bee-Having, it's possible to kill an entire swarm of bees with a slide spin, which will give you a 1-Up if you do it correctly. If you've mastered the slide-spin, you can camp at a beehive and endlessly kill the bees as they come out and watch your lives soar.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_38d17b6c	comment	Boss-Arena Idiocy: Two examples: Tiny is invincible. The only way to harm him is to hop around on the platforms, avoiding him, until they blink red. Once they do, the player must hop Crash onto a non-blinking platform and hope that Tiny lands on a blinking platform and falls, hurting him. Ripper Roo is also immune to Crash's normal attacks while heâ€™s jumping around, just like in Crash 1. And just like in Crash 1, It's Ripper Roo's own attacks, (i.e. TNT and nitro squares) that do him in. But in Crash 2 it's even worse. In Crash 1, Crash had to at least coordinate and time the TNT crates so that they would deal damage to Ripper Roo. In this game, Ripper Rooâ€™s attacks are what make him vulnerable, all Crash has to is avoid him, wait for him to blow himself up, and then attack while heâ€™s now vulnerable and dazed!

Also while the Crystals have now appeared as key Macguffins, the Time Relics (and the time trial tasks that earn them) have not.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_504e271f	comment	But Thou Must!: An inversion: Cortex tells you to give the crystals you've gathered to N. Gin, but there is no option of actually doing so. N. Gin just demands you give him the crystals and then attacks you when you don't. Another inversion is where, after you get any gem, N. Brio will show up in the projector, telling you not to get the crystals; the problem is that you can't go on without collecting crystals and beating the boss.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_50727f8d	comment	Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: By the time you're midway through the game, it is easy to earn more lives than you lose, which can also overlap with Meaningless Lives; decent players can have the full 99 lives by the time they finish the third warp room 100% without jumping on Polar. Even if Crash loses all his lives, the continue screen allows you to return to that level's Warp Room with new lives, ready for another attempt. Of course, the game also becomes harder the further you go, especially for the secret routes and Skull Routes, where you'll need those lots of lives.

That said, the possibility of Cortex still being around was suggested. Also, despite these inconsistencies, the game goes out of its way to acknowledge Ripper Roo's ending in his boss fight.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_6e02907	comment	Fake Trap: In Bee-Having, there's a staircase-like structure made of metal boxes and the normally lethal Nitro boxes. However, this time they don't blow up and the Nitro boxes don't wobble and jump like the normal ones. Climb them and you'll teleport to the secret area containing the Purple Gem. Incidentally, this was made all the more obvious in the beta version as there were Wumpa fruit conveniently placed on top of the Nitros. In the Un-Bearable level, after the bear crashes through the bridge. That "bottomless pit" isn't as bottomless as you may think.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_75f38750	comment	Kaizo Trap: Inverted; if you sit through the entire opening cutscene, you get to play an intro stage which gives you the opportunity to earn an Aku Aku mask and an extra life. This intro stage also has bottomless pits and enemies here and there. This effectively means that it's possible to kill yourself and get a Game Over before the game proper even starts.note Resuming a Game Over will just skip you to the warp room, much like skipping the cutscene will. Played straight in Tiny Tiger's boss battle; when you succeed in making Tiny leap over the falling platform, several other platforms will also start to fall down. Stand on the right platform (i.e the one that doesn't flash red) and you're safe. Another straight example in the fight against the Komodo Brothers; after landing the final hit, you can still be killed if you touch the brothers before their defeat animation finishes.

When the plot turns out to be a trick by Cortex to obtain the world's power crystals, Brio gladly allies with Crash to dispose of him. While Ripper Roo and the Komodo Brothers' alignment remains ambiguous throughout the series after (they attack both sides on different occasions but never officially join Crash or Cortex), N. Brio and Tiny Tiger revert to bad guys, even allying with Cortex again later on. This is particularly odd for Tiny, who despite first appearing as one of Brio's cohorts, is retooled as Cortex's Undyingly Loyal creation.

Armored armadillos can only be made vulnerable with a body slam, which breaks their armor and allows other attacks to defeat them.

Besides that, the games begin saving your life count, so if you lose more lives than you care to, you can reload your game and try again. So long as you save regularly, Game Overs are inconsequential.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03	type	Backtracking
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03	comment	Backtracking: Crash always has to backtrack whenever he comes across a fork in the path, such as the fork in The Pits, Sewer or Later and Diggin' It. The Eel Deal has an interesting case: while most paths have an entrance and an exit, the path leading to the Green Gem here does not. Crash must go down the fork, get the Green Gem at the very end, then go all the way back to the main path to complete the level.note With the "death warping" trick, you can simply choose to die after getting the gem which brings you back to the checkpoint, i.e before the fork. Piston It Away is the most notorious instance of this. In order to get the box gem, you need to make it to the end of the level to get all the boxes on the main path and the bonus stage, and then make it back to the death route platform around half way through all without losing a life, or else the platform will be deactivated.note Alternatively, you can enter the death route as soon as you encounter it and then die to go back to the previous checkpoint, keeping the route open. If you want the box gem for Cold Hard Crash, you have to get to the Death Route, make your way through it, hit a trigger crate at the very end, then get all the way back to the beginning to break the crate it makes appear. Given that the Death Route is almost entirely covered in ice and filled with crushers and nitro crates, this is significantly easier said than done.

In "Road to Ruin", first there's a stack of 4 boxes with one extra crate behind it, then there's a series of scattered wireframe boxes with an ! box nearby, which causes the wireframe boxes to turn into normal crates. "Ruination" features this exact same setup both times, only this time, the stack of 4 boxes have a single Nitro behind them, and the switch spawns Nitro crates instead. You will blow yourself up if you don't see the traps coming, although you don't need to activate the wireframe Nitro trap to complete the level's box gem.

The theme of the fourth warp room is a mine, and Crash is separated by what looks like lava from no more than a metal grate. It's one of the few times lava appears in the series where it absolutely cannot kill you... merely because you can't touch it. In sewer levels he sometimes has to walk on grates mere centimetres off a red-hot floor, but he only burns up if he lands where the floor is exposed. He's also not much affected by crossing on overhead gratings over longer stretches of red-hot piping, or in the case of one secret path, a Lava Pit.

In reality, the designers lost interest in hernote Specifically, a marketing exec didn't like her design and forced them to change it. They hated the new design so much they just replaced Tawna outright. and came up with a flimsy excuse for her absence (she dumped Crash for Pinstripe Potoroo). In her place, Coco Bandicoot was created, who has gone on to become the deuteragonist of the series.

These are quite forgiving; there are no enemies, no lives are taken if you die, and whether you fall or are blown up, the player is plonked right next to the platform to start again. A few "Skull Route" platforms exist, which are considerably harder; not only do you have to get past the level up to that point without dyingnote alternatively, you can die, but without taking any checkpoint beforehand, but the stages themselves are tougher, can feature enemies, and generally play out like extreme versions of the regular levels. Hidden Gem stages also exist, which appear only when Crash has found the relevant colored gem. They vary in their difficulty, but otherwise are much like Skull Routes.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Die 6 times and the game provides you with an Aku Aku mask for protection. Die 5 more times and checkpoints become more frequent. You automatically get a mask upgrade when you begin the second boss fight against the Komodo Brothers. Side-paths now commonly have a second gem in them and no crates. In the first game, there was only one gem per level for destroying all crates, and all paths would have crates on them. Check points now remember the crates you've broken, unlike the first game. Also the game tells you how many crates are there in each level; pressing triangle now shows you how many boxes you've broken, but you could only see the totals in the end of the levels. If you die in a Death Route, the platform will stay, allowing you to repeat the route if you want. Similarly, activating a Death Route by standing on the pad will cause it to permanently activate. This makes the backtracking in Diggin' It much easier to handle. Breaking crates while being chased by boulders/giant bears too hard for you? No worries, just let the boulder/giant bear crush the crates for you; the game will count them. Lives are almost ridiculously easy to come by, an added boost even with the improved controls and mechanics from the first game.

Crash can only proceed along a linear path with the occasional bonus stage along the way. He can also progress to the next warp room only if he has collected all five crystals for the levels in it. At least the Warp Room levels can be tackled in any order. Occasionally backtracking is required. Sometimes, however, taking the secret paths in the levels will bring you to another level or to the Secret Warp Room, making for a nonstandard item completion.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	type	Sequence Breaking
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	comment	Sequence Breaking: It's possible to go completely over the gopher pits in the jungle levels (that normally traps you in with the gophers until you defeat every one of them) by quickly doing a slide jump spin (you slide, you jump, and you spin, in that order, in very quick succession) over it. Even if you fall in, you can still do the same before the first gopher appears. You can get the Red Gem in the Snow Go level much earlier than intended (i.e. taking an alternate route to get there) by doing a slide jump spin up, then a body slam, the latter of which extends your altitude a little at the peak of the jump before the slam, enough to reach the bobbing gem. It's easier to do with the bounce crate placed to the right of it. Said jump trick also lets Crash jump into the secret path in Road to Ruin from its exit instead of its intended entry (the 6th warp room), allowing him to break the extra crates in said path quicker and easier. It also allows him to get the second gem without getting the death route platform. You also don't need to get the green gem to get the second clear gem in Ruination. Again, it's the slide jump spin trick. You can die on Diggin' It and still enter the death route, by jumping along the side of the colossal pit at the end of the fork. In Cold Hard Crash, it's possible to get the gem in the death route without falling into the pit. This can be done running to the very edge and sliding back. Crash should get the gem and return back to the ledge, allowing the player to get the death route gem and all the crates in one run without a death abuse. Subverted with Night Fight as its death route forks onto the main path as normal, so you can lose a life and still enter the hard path from the exit point.
