---------------Level Beginning------------------------------------
As the episode starts, Crash is practicing his burps, Coco is working
on a new invention, and Crunch is as usual, lifting weights. Coco asks
for her transpulupar which he pulls out of his pants. Everybody in the
Bandicoot enjoys some quality time! Well, that is…until a familiar
airship hovers over their isle! Cortex and his minions are in the
airship and lower two cages. The cages capture Coco and Aku Aku!
Next, the airship fires a laser straight at Crash to try to freeze him so he can't save
Wumpa Island! Crash jumps out of
harm, but Crunch gets frozen by the blast. The airship flies off.
Luckily, Crash throws Coco’s contraption at the airship and it hits Aku
Aku’s cage, which drops into the forest. Time to go save Aku Aku and
then Coco!
------------------Crash’s Yard------------------------------------
In Crash’s Yard, you can repeatedly punch Crunch for some fun before
continuing. Next, head backwards and start exploring Crash’s yard. You
can jump to grab some Mojo and smash the plants for even more Mojo.
After thoroughly exploring this area, you can try to enter Crash’s
house. There’s no mojo but you can hear quite a surprise…Anyway, after
that double jump onto the house for more Mojo, then smash the mailboxes
and flower pots for more mojo. Note: Blue Mojo is worth 10 and Purple
mojo is worth 1000. Once you’re ready go forward and jump into the hot
tub for more mojo.
--------------------The First Lake--------------------------------
Jump out and continue down the path while continuing to smash plants
and other objects for mojo. Head down the eastern path to grab a big
piece of mojo and then backtrack and head left to see a statue. These
statues give you hints throughout the game. This one tells you about
Mojo and how it’s the essence of life.
You shall now jump across the ledges for more Mojo. On the other side,
you reach a second house. Double jump on it for more mojo and then jump
towards a nearby vine. Press up and then down repeatedly to swing. At
the north, jump to grab more mojo. When you land, grab a bunch of mojo
and then walk forward. You should see a cave. Smash the plants and
enter the cave.
---------------------The First Cave--------------------------------
Inside the cave, you’ll find a trail of plants. Go along the beaten
path will smashing the plants. Eventually, you’ll reach some
Ratnicians: the first Minions.
------------------------
- Ratnicians:
Idol Description: “These guys were created by Uka Uka’s mojo and
Cortex’s science. Luckily for us, they are as fragile as they look”.
Strategy: Ratnicians are found at World 1: Wumpa Island. They can be
killed within a few hits and are the best for scoring Combo King in the
Wumpa Island levels. Their only attack is punching you for a tiny
amount of damage. They can also blow up the poison in there tubes.
-------------------------
Defeat the Ratnicians as you continue through the cave smashing plants
for mojo. By now you should have about 10,000 mojo: once you get 10,000
you get to learn your first cool move: Norris Roundhouse([],[],[]). See the Moves
section for info on that. Near the exit of the cave, you find another
statue. This one tells you about the air jumping whether you’ve learned
it or not, yet. Jump to the next ledge and then double jump north to
the next ledge. With practice you can actually reach this ledge with a
single jump, but don’t bet on it. Once up the ledge, you can exit the
cave. By now, you should learn the Old Skool technique(Rotate Left Analog
Stick,[],[],[]...). See the moves
section for info on that.
-------------------The First Forest-------------------------------
After the cave is a long slope. Once you go down, you can’t get back
up, so finish your business before heading down. At the bottom, a bunch
of Ratnicians attack. Wait for the Ratnicians to gather up and then
start performing the "COMBO KING" on the Ratnicians. You can try using
the Old Skool technique until you get to 7-9 of the combo, then stop,
and repeat. You should in this level, you must score a combo of 15/15, so
try to perform 5-9 hits on each Ratnician. Know that you can perform an
extra two hits on each foe after they’re laying flat on the ground.
Defeating at least 10 Ratnicians will get you "THE RATNICIAN INFO". When
you Defeat 200 Ratnicians, you get the RATNICIAN SKIN. Once you acquire
Combo King, you can collect the remaining mojo, using the vines, then
climb up the ledges to the north. Destroy the plants in this new area,
then read the statue to learn about bouncing on mushrooms. Press the
jump button before landing on one to bounce high. You can bounce off
several for mojo and bouncing on the mid-east mushroom lets you grab the
"HIDDEN VOODOO DOLL" for this level, allowing you to look at its concept art.
Bounce off the northern mushroom to reach the northern ledge.
--------------------------The Second Lake-------------------------
Once you exit the cave, smash the plants and then jump across the
ledges. The iron ledges fall after a while, so be careful. Jump towards
the small ledge to grab it. Jump up repeatedly to get atop the ledge.
Run forward and jump on the ledge. Go south to get a Mojo Multiplier.
Run back down and smash the plants for more mojo. You’ll get a
mojo multiplier Mojo, now. Continue down and smash the plants until you see a blue
mystic cloud. Press the O button while standing in the cloud to warp
to the Mojo Room
---------------Mojo Room: Mojo Madness----------------------------
In this Mojo Room, you must collect "5,000 GREEN" mojo before time runs
out. The time limit is a strict 35 seconds so be quick in grabbing it.
Don’t hit the creates spreaded throughout the room. They contain blue
mojo, not green. Green mojo falls from the sky, so grab it all. When
you see a big mojo piece, hit the brakes and go grab it! You should be
able to get 5,000 mojo after a few tries. Once you do, go around the
arena while smashing crates to get blue mojo for your total. Now, go
collect the MOJO Idol, which lets you replay this Mojo Room. Use the O button while
standing in the nearby the cloud to return to the second lake.
--------------------The Second Lake Revisited---------------------
Cross the lake by jumping across the tilting and grassy ledges.
Continue onward and bounce off the mushroom to an area where you fight
off several Ratnicians. Once you defeat them all, go north and examine
the statue to learn the Spin Hover(X,[],[],[]...). Spin Hover to the next isle and
then bounce up and cross the ledge to another grassy one. You must jump
against each ledge to grab it. Afterwards, shimmy over and jump to the
next one. At the top, smash SPYBOT 1. Next, continue across the tilting
ledges until you come to another area where you must fight off Ratnicians.
---------------------The Second Forest----------------------------
Kill them all, then Spin Hover across gaps until you reach SPYBOT 2.
Smash it, and then jump up the ledges. Bounce off mushrooms for mojo
then bounce to the north end. Here, you see Ratnicians pulling on the
cage Aku Aku is trapped in. After the cutscene, the fools attack you.
Defeat them all and then walk up to Aku Aku’s cage.
Aku thanks Crash and tells him that Crash can use him as a sheild(Hold R1). Try
it out on the northern ratnicians before defeating them. Once they’re
all dead, use the mushroom to bounce up. Grab all the mojo and then
bounce up again. There’s some Ratnicians hiding from a new enemy here:
the Spike. It shows you how it got its name as it attacks the
Ratnician. You now must fight the Spike(1st Mutant)!
-------------------------
- Spike:
Idol Description: This sneaky character likes ambushing bandicoots from below, petty
larceny, and romance novels.
Strategy: These are the easiest Titans to defeat. If you start annoying
them, they will summon a floor of spikes to hurt you. Their other
attack is a Claw Combo. Once you jack them, the jump button uses
“Spike’s Surprise”(Press X), which sends spikes at your foes. You can use the
heavy attack button to slam down enemies(Press Or Hold ^), and the Block button to
shield(R1). You can use the jack button to unjack them(Press O). The light attack
uses a Claw Combo([],[],[]).
--------------------------
Once he’s jacked, you get the "SPIKE INFO". Once you jack 50 Spikes, you
get the "SPIKE SKIN". You can actually earn it right here by unjacking
the Spike and hitting it until it dies. Now, another Spike appears.
Jack it and then repeat this for another Spike jack. You can keep doing
this as much as you want, but I recommend you stop at 30-35, because
there’s a few more Spikes throughout the Episode and of course,
throughout the game!
---------------Outside for the Final Time----------------------
Continue onward and fight off the Ratnicians to destroy the barrier.
Cross the bridge while defeating the Ratnicians, and then smash SPYBOT 3. Another Spike
attacks. Use Spike’s Surprise on it to stun it and then jack it.
Take it across the bridge, while defeating enemies. At the end, you
fight three spikes. Wait for them to gather up and then use Spike’s
Surprise to stun all three. Jack each one by one, and then more
Ratnicians and Spikes appear. Keep defeating enemies, using Spike’s
Surprise to your advantage, and then smash the tree down with Spike.
Continue forward and examine the orb to sacrifice the Spike, giving you
mojo and maybe even an extra life. Once you’re ready, exit to the north
to end level. How’d you do? Hopefully, you defeated 65+ enemies, 3
spybots, and have gotten a combo of 15+. If you did, then congrats, you have a Gold Idol!
