0----------------------------------------------------------------------------0

The boxes in the game are you're main target in the game because they will 
give you wumpa fruit, more hitpoints, Extra lifes and sometimes a bonus token.
Just so you know here is a brief description of what wumpa fruit is.

A brief description of Wumpa fruit
----------------------------------
Wumpa fruit is the local delicacy of Crash Bandicoot's world. You can get them
from nearly all the boxes in the game. Once you accumilate 100 wumpa fruit you
will gain a new life, so if you think about it there is about 150 wumpa fruit 
on each level so that is 3 lives every 2 levels. So it is advised to get all 
the wumpa fruit you can find.

-----

Now that we have done that I will now tell you what all the boxes in the game 
look like and what you can get from them.


---------
Blank box
--------- 

This box is just blank with no picture on it, it is one of the most common 
boxes in the game. You will always get one piece of wumpa fruit when you break
them. 

------------------
Question mark box
------------------

This box will be like a blank box but instead it will have a yellow question 
mark on it. This mean that when you open it you will get a random thing like 
10 pieces of wumpa fruit to a bonus token.

----------
Aku Aku
----------

This box will have a picture of a brown mask with multicolour feathers on top.
Every time you break one of these boxes you will recieve one more hitpoint due
to the protecton of Aku Aku.

---------
1 up box
---------

This box has a picture of Crash on the front of it. When you break it you will
recieve an extra life.

--------------------
Exclamation mark box
---------------------

Ths box looks like a metal box with a exlamation mark on it. Once you spin it,
it will make transparent boxes that you could not break breakable.

---------
Arrow box
---------

This box looks like a normal box but has a arrow on it. Use it to get to new 
heights to reach new items.

------------
Stripey box 
------------

These boxs are like the blank boxes but have stripes on them. You use these so
you can bounce on them and get 10 pieces of wumpa fruit.

---
TNT
---

These boxes have TNT on the front of them and are red it is impossible to miss
them. Jump on them to trigger a three second count down, once done to box will
explode.

---------------
Checkpoint box
---------------

The check point boxes have a C on them and when you jump on them you receive a
checkpoint.

Island 1 is the basic tutorial to the game. The levels are pretty simple and 
the enemies are prtty easy to defeat. The only levels that will probably 
challenge you are The great gate and the Native fortress.

Pits - Look out for these pits because if you fall down them you will have an 
instant death even if you have Aku Aku protecting you.

Yipee the first level and not to say one of the easiest in the game. You will 
wake up on a beach after being knocked out by the waves. Once you get up, you 
will see three crates one bouncy crate and 2 other crates. Jump on the bouncy 
crate and get all the wumpa fruit you can. Once you have gotten all the wumpa 
fruit out of that crate, go to the other two crates and spin them to get their
contents, once done proceed up the path.

As you proceed up the path you will finda crab walking across the screen, spin
it. Once done simply jump over the pit, spin the Aku Aku box and jump over the
 block. Jump over the oncoming pit and spin the Question mark box. Now you 
will see an arrow box in front of you with a stripey box above it, jump on the
 arrow box and it will keep you bouncing until the top box breaks, once it 
breaks spin the arrow box.

Spin the crab ahead of you and break the box. Then jump over the first pit and
jump over the second one. Spin the next crab you see, just ahead of you you 
should see two boxes piled on top one another, jump on the top one and then 
bounce on the second one until it breaks.

Once done, jump up the stairs and on the second step spin the Aku Aku box and
the question mark box, we now have two Aku Aku's. You will notice that Aku Aku
has now turned a golden colour. On the next step you will find four blank 
boxes so jump on them and get the wumpa fruit. You will see a metal box on the
ledge opposite you, you can't break it so don't try. Proceed up the next step 
and the next one. On this step jump on the question mark box and get its 
contents. Jump to the next step (will these steps never end?) and jump on the
five boxes. Continue up the rest of the steps until you are at the top.

Now that you are at the top, spin the checkpoint box and proceed further and 
spin the Aku Aku box. If you have three Aku Aku masks, which you should have. 
You will now become invincible for a short amount of time. Now all the 
enemies that run into you will instantly die, which is good. Once you put the
mask on jump over the ledge and un into the turtle who will die. Once he is 
gone jump over the pit and kill the next turtle. Jump across the next pit and 
kill another turtle, now jump across another pit and spin the box that you see.
Jump over the next ledge and you will see two boxes behind it spin them too.
Jump across the next pit and spin all eight of the boxes that you see.

You will now see a fork in the road, take the left path. Up the left path you 
will see another turtle kill it and jump over the ledge in front of you. Spin 
the boxes that are there and carry on forward. Once you are at the end go back 
and take the right path. Jump over the pit and hit the metal box which will 
make transparent boxes appear. Jump on each of them while you cross, one of 
the boxes will be a 1-up box. Now that we have cleared both paths go to the 
end of the path you are on and jump the pit.

Spin the last box which is a question mark box and jump into the warp to 
finish the level.

To start this level off, jump on the arrow box and break the box above to get 
some more wumpa fruit. Once done break the arrow box and break the Aku Aku 
box. Up ahead we will see our first TNT Box, simply jump on it and run away.
Once done jump over the pit in front of you and spin the skunk in front of you.
Proceed forward and jump over the next pit, then jump over the ledge. Jump on 
the arrow box and break the stripey box on the top again, once done spin the 
arrow box.

Jump over the pit and spin the three skunks that are coming our way. Once 
those pests have been taken care of, procced forward and spin the venus fly 
trap. Once the plant has gone you will see a rolling stone, jump through when 
it is not near you. Spin the question mark box, and also spin the venus fly 
trap. Jump over the next pit and kill the skunk. Jump over the next pit 
(Just in case you were wondering there are a lot of pits during the first 
island.) and dodge the boulder. Spin the Aku Aku mask which is on top of the 
two metal boxes and jump over the next pit.

There will be another rolling stone, jump through when it is not near you and 
then jump across the next couple of pits until you come to TWO! rolling stones.
Jump through them both. Continue down the path and you will see a green gem, if
you don't have the green gem then don't read the next paragraph, if you do read
on.


green gem path
--------------

As soon as you go up jump on the metal arrow box, Hold x to get a higher jump.
Jump onto the set of green gems to your left. Jump up and claim your three 
1 ups from the boxes.

--------------

Once you are back down spin the boxes in front of you, once done jump over the
ledge in front of you. Carry on and dodge the first rolling boulder, once you 
have dodged the boulder break the question mark crate. Once you have got its 
contents dodge the two rolling stones and jump across the pit. Once you have 
crossed the pit spin all the skunks that get in your way and proceed up the 
path until you get to another pit.

Cross the pit and dodge the boulder. Once done you should see a 1-up box in 
the middle of two TNT boxes you can only break them if you have a spare Aku 
Aku, if you do, break the boxes, if you don't leave them. Once you have got the 
boxes cross the double rolling stones and jump across the pit after them. 
Kill the skunks and jump over the ledge. Kill the venus fly trap in front of 
you, once this is done you will see that there is a pit with a rolling stone 
behind it. The key is to jump the pit when the rolling stone is one the edge 
of the screen. Once you have crossed the pit, break the checkpoint box.

Once you have broken the box, jump across the next rolling stone and spin the
venus fly trap. Then dodge the double rolling stones and cross the next two 
pits in front of you. Once both are crossed break the two boxes in front of 
you, getting a 1-up from one of them. Then jump across the pit and dodge the 
double rolling stones and jump the pit after them. Kill the skunks and venus
fly traps in front of you, jump the ledge and warp out of here.

venus fly trap which is just ahead.

Jump to the next ledge and spin the question mark crate which is in between the
two metal crates, once done the metal crate will start bouncing due to the 
arrow crate underneath it, you will have to time your jump well, jump when the 
metal box is in the air at its highest point. Jump to the next ledge and spin

prize of a 1-up. On the ledge after you will see a masiive thing youi have to
climb up, so firstly spin the piece of wood that is vertical this will make it
horizontal. Secondly jump on the little step in front of you and then jump on 
the horizontal piece of wood, once that is done jump onto the arrow box.

Use this arrow box to jump onto the one opposite it and the one after that. On

not up. You will see another one going down instead of up, so walk through 
when it is at its highest point. Further along jump across the spiked pillar 
and jump to the next ledge to spin the three boxes.

On the next ledge you will see a sheild person so jump on him when he is near 
you and spin his bare body. Jump on the next ledge and the ledge after that. On 
the ledge that you are on now jump on the 1-up box and jump to the next ledge.

and get rid of the sheild person. Jump on to the next ledge and jump over the 
spiked pillar, and over the flame when it is not ignited.

Proceed forward and spin the vertical piece of wood, jump on to that piece of 
wood and spin the piece of wood above. Jump onto that piece of wood and then 
jump on the metal arrow. Jump to the next metal arrow and jump on the box on 
the right, then go back to where you were and jump onto the metal arrow. Jump 
on to the ledge from there and jump over the spiked pillar. Jump to the next 
ledge and spin the monkey, once done jump to the ledge with the fly trap on 
and spin it. Dodge the next couple of spiked pillars and kill the sheild 
person.

the blank box and use the arrow box to jump over the wall, once done run along 
the back of the wall jumping over the ledges. Once that this is over jump over 
the wall again and proceed further up killing the sheild person and watching for

As you start off spin the box next to you and proceed down the path collecting
the wumpa fruit that you find. As you proceed down the path you will come in 
to a tunnel, break all of the boxes in there and collect the wumpa fruit. Once
you have got all of the boxes contents, go outside and you will now see why 
this level is called Boulders.

As soon as you go out and proceed forward a tiny bit you will be chased by a 
giant boulder and there is only one thing I can say for this situation.. RUN!
When it starts coming after you run forward and jump over the pit that you now
see and jump over the second one that you see, the second pit will be right 
after the first pit so be careful. While you are running forward you will see 
a tunnel that you were in at the beginning of the level, run forward into the 
tunnel and the boulder will now stop because it can't break through.

Break the boxes you see inside the tunnel and go outside and break the lonely
box you see. The run forward because a boulder is now going to chase you, run 
forward and jump over the several pits you will see, they are all consecutive 
ones which means one after the other for younger readers. Once you have jumped
over all the pits you will come to a little wodden tunnel run through it as 
the boulder will not stop there. On the othr side you will have to dodge all 
the walls you see, to dodge them you must jump over them, do this until you 
get to the next tunnel.

Break all of the boxes inside the tunnel including the checkpoint box and run 
out of the tunnel and suprise suprise there will be another boulder. As you 
run away from this boulder you will see a new kind of pit that has a platform 
in the middle, jump over the pit and land on the platform and jump over again 
to finish the pit. There will be another two of these so jump oer them and 
pass through another wooden tunnel. Once done, dodge the signposts you see by 
following the wumpa fruit, once all the signposts are dodged jump over the 
next tw0 pits and proceed into the warp.

Once this is done get rid of the venus fly trap in front of you and jump to 
the next ledge while dodging the spiked pillar. Spin the vertical piece of 
wood that you see and then proceed by jumping on the wood that you just 
spun, Repeat this process. Use the metal arrow that you see to jump on to 
the next wooden ledge which is above you. Jump over the flame and get rid of 
the turtles on the other side, once this is done proceed until you reach a 
checkpoint box, break this one also. 

Once this is broken, jump to the next ledge and dodeg the flame while not 
forgetting to get rid of the monkey. To get to the next ledge you have to 
bounce on the flame when it is not ignited, so jump on the thing the flame 
comes out of and reach the next ledge. Follow the next couple of ledges and 
get rid of the sheild native, now he is gone get the 1 up above him. Jump to 
the next ledge and dodge the pillar, on the next ledge get rid of the fly 
traps that you see. Follow the ledge until you come to a checkpoint box also 
break this one. 

Jump over the next ledges dodging the traps and getting rid of the enemies 
until you get to a pillar of boxes, break the lowest one and run away until 
they explode, once done proced until you get to one of those wood thingys. 
Break the checkpoint box and do the same as before, spinning the wood and 
then jumping on it, until you reach the top floor. Once at the top break the 
next checkpoint box.
 
Proceed forward, once on the next ledge get rid of the enemies and you will 
see a flat piece of wood behind you, jump over it to be behind the wall. 
Please note that this is a massive shortcut and will really help you. Once 
you see another piece of flat wood jump over it but make sure you jump over 
it when the flame is not ignited. Once you are over proceed until you get to 
the checkpoint box, once this is broken proceed over the flames and on to 
the next ledge. Get rid of the monkey and and proceed over the next several 
ledges until you get to a red gem path. 

RED GEM PATH 
------------

Jump onto the red gem and follow the path up, once you get to the clouds, 
follow the path of cloud and then break all of the boxes that you see. Once 
this is done go back to beginning and carry on with the level.

Dodge the spiked pillar and then get rid of the fly trap, get rid of it and 
proceed, when you get up to another of the wood things go up it to the very 
top and warp out of here.

0----------------0
/ A. Characters  /
0----------------0

These characters are taken from the instruction manual, it will include all 
the characters you find in the game.


CRASH BANDICOOT: 
----------------

What can we say about this heroic, seriously agile, recently evolved marsupial
that we haven't said all through this manual? Not much? Okay, well you might
like to know that he really does enjoy a good tussle every now and then. And
since this whole thing is for his girlfriend Tawna, so much the better!


DR. NEO CORTEX:
----------------

His early years truly molded this wretched creature into the Mad Scientist he
is today. Often ridiculed by the scientific community for his outlandish (yet
nearly workable) theories, Dr. Cortex is motivated by one driving force-- to
shut those know-it-alls up once and for all. Now if he can do this by creating
a mutated army of once-animals, now-armored beasts, then that will just make
his day. It will also make him supreme ruler of the planet.

DR. N BRIO:
----------------

Not as pushy or driven as his boss, Dr. N. Brio has relegated his poosition to
chief henchman of Dr. Cortex. Actually, it was Dr. N. Brio who created the
Evolvo-Ray, but his lack of self-esteem let the other (more twisted) Mad
Scientist take the credit.

TAWNA:
----------------

Love of Crash's life, the unfortunate she-bandicoot is next on the list for
experimentation by the nasty Doctors. What's a bandicootess to do (other than
pout convincingly) to let her hero know he'd better hurry if he wants somebody
to come home to.

PAPU PAPU:
----------------

We think Papu Papu is native for "Pass me that dish again, mate." This animated
mountain of a feller has a fuse as short as he is big.

RIPPER ROO:
----------------

Crazy, demented, not all-there. These are kind words to describe an animal who
has undergone one (or two) zaps of the Evolvo Ray too many. Not much of a
conversationalist either, we hear. Do your best to avoid contact with Ripper
Roo and his razor-sharp toe nails.


KOALA KONG:
----------------

So much for a steady diet of peaceful eucalyptus leaves. When Dr. Cortex made
this bruiser, he dedicated way too many protons to the muscle department and
too few to the brains. He likes to throw rocks. Fine. Do your best to return
the favor and you may get to the third (and most dangerous) island-- the
fortress of Dr. Cortex.


PINSTRIPE:
----------------

Dr. Cortex was looking for a more efficent form of enforcer and created
Pinstripe Poteroo, a cross between a local furry omnivore and several chessy
Gangster movies. Pinstripe is loyal to "The Don of Doctors" and makes no bones
about protecting his employee with his wits, his skills and a fully loaded
Tommy gun.


WITCH DOCTOR:
----------------

Legend has it the spirit of an ancient Witch Doctor named Aku Aku looks over
the islands as a benevolent protector. Sensing Crash's mission to thwart Dr.
Cortex's plans, Aku Aku has scattered masks throughout the islands to help
Crash succeed. With luck, the old Witch Doctor's faith in the Bandicoot won't
be misplaced.
