Boss: Ripper Roo

Ripper Roo is easier in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy than in the original. He starts by jumping and placing TNT boxes. Find a corner that he leaves clear and stand there until the TNT explodes. He then places Nitro boxes. Again, find a safe corner. He will jump on a Nitro, causing an explosion that knocks him out. Run up to him and spin attack him. Repeat this three times to defeat him. The safe zones for TNT and Nitro will shrink after each hit, but you can avoid taking damage.

Tips
  • Enclosed spaces with boxes and checkpoints are safe havens from the boulder.
