Learn how to avoid dying in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, including falling into pits or water, and what happens when you run out of lives.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Avoid getting hit by enemies. If you do not have Aku Aku, one hit means death.
  2. 2
    Do not fall into water, unless it is in sewer levels where the water is only knee-high. Falling into deeper water will result in death, regardless of Aku Aku.
  3. 3
    Be cautious of pits, which appear as holes with no visible bottom. If you can see the bottom of a hole, it is safe to go down.
  4. 4
    If you run out of lives, you will receive a game over and must load your latest save.
Tips
  • Always ensure you have plenty of extra lives.
  • An easy way to gain extra lives is by replaying the first levels.
