CRYSTAL: (28)

Papu Papu (Papu Pummel - Easy): Papu Papu attacks with floor slams that send flames and summons fake Crash clones. Kick the clones to defeat them. After the clones are gone, Papu Papu's flame shield drops; throw a steel crate at him while he laughs. Repeat this process three times. On the second and third turns, he summons more flames and clones. After three successful crate throws, a rock falls, defeating him.

Bearminator (Polar Push - Medium): The Bearminator, in a tank, throws a frozen mechanical polar bear. Dodge its missiles, as they can freeze you, leading to being pushed off. Push the Bearminator off the platform, but be cautious of the tilting platform. After the mechanical bear is defeated, a missile drops. Use it to hit the Bearminator directly, not its tank, to avoid wasting a turn. He then fires his cannon and summons two polar bears. Dodge their missiles and be wary of them pushing you off. After defeating both, shoot another missile at the Bearminator. He will then fire a cannonball, and you'll face three bears. Landing where they are thrown can cause them to fall off immediately. Avoid their missiles, push them off, and fire missiles at the Bearminator to defeat him.

Komodo Moe & Joe (Big Bad Fox - Medium): The Komodo brothers enter a large tank. Target the three guns at the bottom, hitting each twice with bombs. Mines are also effective. After hitting the guns, place a mine and back off. You will then face four lasers that shoot Cortex/Brio-type shots. Avoid these blasts and shoot the lasers, aiming to hit two simultaneously. After eight hits, they are destroyed. Next, you face two missile launchers. Collect Wumpa Fruit to restore health, as their missiles deal significant damage (about 3/4 of maximum health). Use mountains as shields and try to make the missiles destroy the launchers. Once both are destroyed, the tank is defeated, and Moe and Joe emerge in separate tanks. They fire Cortex/Brio-type shots. Use missiles to attack them while dodging their fire. Be agile and stay on your toes.

N. Oxide (Oxide Ride - Hard): The first part involves chasing Oxide in a ship. Your plane is auto-driven; avoid mines and obstacles to preserve ship health. You then enter a small arena for a Ballistix match. If you've taken damage, you can let balls roll into your goal to respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death). The more you lose, the weaker Oxide seems. Avoid the red balls at all costs.
