Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex / Playstation 2
Easy Lives
To get easy lives, you must have beaten the fourth boss and have the bazooka. Then go to level 1. Around the place are those big elephants. Shoot them. There are three elephants. For each time you kill one, you gain 1 life. A better way, is to shoot the elephants, go to the beginning of the level, die, then shoot them again.
Beat Time Trail Fast on Dragon Level
On the level that you are being chased by the dinosaur/dragon you can beat the level very fast. On time trial right when you get chased by the dragon after the ? mark platform press select and you will be teleported to the end by the nitro boxes.
Defeat N.Gin
To defeat N.Gin, shoot at the flashing pads on his robot suit. Four of the pads on the first suit will fall off. The pad underneath his viewing area will not fall off: it will just stop flashing. The two easiest pads to hit are the ones that fire missiles, (the middle is also quite easy too), then his arms are the last two. When he brings up his arm, there will be a few seconds before he starts firing, so this is the best time to shoot at the end of his arms. When you have destroyed all the flashing pads, then he will get into another suit which is even harder. This time, the flashing pads are four missile launchers, one on the far left, and one on the far right. The last one is just under N.Gin's ugly mug. Hit and destroy all these pads, and you have and apple bazooka!
Arctic Antics: Extra lives
After you have defeated the Boss in level 4 and earned the bazooka, return to level 1, Arctic Antics. Shoot the three woolly mammoths to get extra lives.
Easy Timetrial Level
When you are trying the Timetrial on wizards and lizards get the timetrial clock and then press select and you will be transported to the end of the levl giving you a 3 sec timetrial or less. (May not work with other levels)
When in the level, Wizards and Lizards, and doing a time trial, press SELECT to be transported to the end of the level. This does not work on any other level!
Red Gem
On the Crash and Burn level there is an easier way to get the red gem on the death route. After you pass all the nitro boxes and lava you will get to the part where you can see the red gem from across a gorge. Hit the gem with your bazooka and you get the gem. Then die and it will take you back to the last check point and finish the game from there. You will finish with the red gem. This way you don't have to cross the gorge with the long jump: slide, double jump and spin.
