*I would normally

Name: (Name of Boss)
Health: (Number)
Difficulty: (Number)/10
(Written out difficulty)
Level: (Name of Level)
What I have to say: (Words)
STRATEGY:
(Strategy)

Here are the worded difficulties:

2/10 - Very
Easy
3/10 - Pretty Easy
4/10 - Easy
5/10 - Medium
6/10 - Hard

=============================================================2.1 - MAIN
WALKTHROUGH
=============================================================

BOSS 1:
Name:
Dr. Neo Cortex
Health: 3
Difficulty: 4/10 (Easy)
Level: Jungle Bungle
What I have to say:
This is the first game where Cortex is a boss that isn't last in the game. He is pretty
easy here.
STRATEGY: Cortex will start out by firing rapid lasers at you. Run around to
avoid them. He will eventually fire a large shot at you; you have to spin back at him.
Now, he will throw multiple bombs at you, naming a Crash enemy with each one. He will
throw 5 bombs in total. Each bomb will take out one of the outer slices of the arena out,
but the center is indestructible. Now, avoid his rapid fire again, and fire his big shot
back at him. He fill fire some more bombs, which will take out the rest of the slices,
leaving you just the middle platform to stand on. It might sound hard to avoid his rapid
fire in just the middle platform, but he fires in a different pattern. Fire his last big
shot at him. He will send for a little help . . .

BOSS 2:
Name: Mecha-Bandicoot
Health:
7
Difficulty: 2/10 (Very Easy)
Level: Jungle Bungle
What I have to say: This guy is way
easier to beat than Cortex, even though he looks harder. A small set of stairs will fall
down, leading you to the top of the wall, and N. Gin's Mecha-Bandicoot up onto the
platform you were just on. He will start out by firing multiple missiles into the air,
which can be easily avoided. Next, he lays his chainsaw down. Just stay away from that.
Then, he fires a big shot, much like the previous boss. Spin it back and it will hit the
Mecha-Bandicoot in his chainsaw, and take off some health. After he fires his missiles and
runs his chainsaw, spin the next big shot back at him. It will completely destroy the
chainsaw. Now, he will fire missiles, and fire his next big shot at you. It will hit his
missile launcher. After another fire of missiles, and another big shot, his missile
launcher will be destroyed, and he will have 3 blocks of health left. He will just
continue firing consecutive big shots, will you can use to defeat the
Mecha-Bandicoot.

BOSS 3: 
Name: Papu Papu's Men (Chase Fight)
Health: N/A
Difficulty:
3/10 (Pretty Easy)
Level: Totem Hokum
What I have to say: After Papu Papu takes care of
Cortex; he will order his men to get Crash. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't run
and try spin the tribesmen normally, these guys are twice as fast, and are invincible.
Just run towards the screen and outrun them. 
STARTEGY: These guys are easy, since they
are the first chase fight. Jump over every pit, and every obstacle. If you feel that you
have a big enough lead on them, you can try jumping off of the log and nabbing the clear
gem. There is two waves of tribesmen to run from, so you shouldn't have a hard time.

BOSS
4:
Name: Tikimon
Health: 3 
Difficulty: 3/10 (Pretty Easy)
Level: Totem Hokum
What I have
to say: Tikimon is the mighty totem god. He isn't very hard to beat, but may look
it.
STRATEGY: Tikimon will start out by trying to hit you with a few elbow slams, so run.
Then, he will start doing his main attack. His main attack is laying his hands down, and
causing his other hand to slam down in front of it. Just freakishly run around in circles,
until he opens his mouth. Toss Cortex in his mouth. He will be damaged, and will summon 3
mini-totems to attack you. They work well in groups; so don't attack them just run. They
will eventually just die themselves. Next, Tikimon will do the same as last time, but with
a new attack. His fires lasers out of his eyes. Just keep running around in circles around
Tikimon and you won't be hit. Throw Cortex in his mouth when he opens it again. He will
summon 5 mini-totems. RUN. Continue running around until he opens his mouth for the last
time. Throw Cortex in his mouth again. He will summon 7 mini-totems. Once they all die,
you're through with Totem Hokum. =)

BOSS 5:
Name: Uka Uka (Ice Body) 
Health:
3
Difficulty: 2/10 (Very Easy)
Level: Ice Climb
What I have to say: Uka Uka will get
really ticked at Crash and Cortex, and summon some ice to attack them. He is not hard at
all, for the great evil mask. (Sarcasm)
STRATEGY: Avoid Uka's attacks. They aren't really
that hard to avoid, but still, don't be hit. Throw Cortex at one of the switches, and he
will activate them. It will open up the center, revealing a button. Step on the button,
and stay there. It will activate grills, and if Uka was on one, he will be damaged. The
strategy doesn't really change at all after each hit. After he is defeated, he figures out
that the Evil Twins want to destroy the world - thereby taking his job. Uka agrees with
Aku that they will work together to beat the twins. 

BOSS 6:
Name: N. Gin
(sub-boss)
Health: N/A
Difficulty: 3/10 (Pretty Easy)
Level: High-Sea Hi-Jinks
What I have
to say: N. Gin here is only a sub boss, so he has no health bar. He shows up, angry at
Crash, and tries killing Crash with missiles.
STRATEGY: This guy is really easy. Run
around him as fast as you can, to outrun the missiles he repeatedly fires. After three
waves of missiles, stand right behind one of the legs holding his crow's nest up. He will
slowly throw a TNT, so run out of the way. If you were close enough, the TNT will blow up
the leg. There is three legs in total, and are the same. There are two problems with this
boss. The first thing is that if you get to close to the leg, it will cost you a mask, or
a life. The other thing is when you're running around in circles; try to stay towards the
inside, because there is a small crack in part of the arena, the part that you enter. You
will have to slow down to prevent falling off, which will get you hit with a missile,
which usually knocks you off.

BOSS 7: Rusty Walrus (Chase Fight)
Health: N/A
Difficulty:
6/10 (Hard)
Level: High Sea Hi-Jinks
What I have to say: This is where it gets tricky.
This is way harder than the chase with the tribesmen.
STRATEGY: Even though Rusty is
walking, he is still pretty fast. To outrun him, you must use everything you got to outrun
him, and not waste one millisecond of time. That includes unnecessary double jumping,
spinning, and stopping. There are lots of pits here, and the purple gem is hard to get in
this fight. You will usually die getting the gem, but you will keep it as long as you
don't get a game over (which will be very upsetting because you're almost done with the
level, and you haven't broken a single world crate since you started the level.) There are
grills that you will have to run around here, but they don't cause a problem if you're
careful. You don't need to get every life box in this chase, because you will usually end
up losing it. You can try if you want if you have a big lead and have 0 lives left. After
you outrun him, you will find a big load of TNT crates, which N. Gin lands on. After a
funny scene, the explosions of the crates send you flying . . .

BOSS 8: Henchmania
(Nefarious Tropy and Nitrus Brio)  
Health: 3
Difficulty: 4/10 (Easy)
Level: High Sea
Hi-Jinks
What I have to say: . . .right onto an iceberg, where Crash meets two familiar
faces. N. Tropy looks incredible in this game, and N. Brio looks absolutely
awful.
STRATEGY: Brio will go under some transformation, which turns him into a frog
(!@$%%^) that looks awful as well. He will bounce around, so run around trying to avoid
him. He will eventually fall back into the water, which brings up N. Tropy. Tropy will
slam his "fork" into the ground, which smashed the iceberg to pieces, with Tropy in the
middle. He will activate a shield, which doesn't affect anything. Just keep jumping from
platform to platform, since the platforms sink. Eventually, Tropy will turn off his
shield, so run over and whack him. Brio will come back up, bring the iceberg back
together, and bounce again. Hit N. Tropy 3 times to successfully defeat this fighting duo.
Boss 9: Dingodile
Health: 4
Difficulty: 7/10 (Pretty Hard)
Level: Boiler Room Doom
What
I have to say: Before you do this fight, look into the sky and start saying "Thank you,
god, for putting a world crate before this fight." This is a really hard boss, right after
a really hard level. Dingodile has loads of attacks to hit you with, so I'll ironically
divide this guy into phases.
STRATEGY:
Phase 1 - He will start by firing 3 fireballs into
the air. Just run around to avoid them. He will do that twice. He will start charging up a
blast, so stand in front of one of the radioactive stones. When he's about to fire, run
out of the way. It will release a button if he hit the stone. Slam the button, and
Dingodile will be sprinkled upon. Run over and spin him.
Phase 2 - He will fire his
flamethrower around the arena at ground level, so jump over it whenever it gets to you. He
will do the same thing again, only at head level. Just duck and don't get up to avoid this
pathetic attack. He will charge again, hit the stone, slam the button, activate the
sprinklers, and hit him.
Phase 3 - He will fire his flamethrower at ground level again,
only this time, he won't go in circles, he will wave it back and forth. That is harder to
avoid, but I bet you can manage. He will activate a fiery wall, so run from that. He will
do his charge again, lather, rinse, repeat.
Phase 4 - He will do a very annoying attack
now. He will do it around in circles again, but this time, he will repeatedly switch
between head level and ground level. Try running for the most of the time, and avoid it if
you have to. He will do two fire walls now. Run from them, and he will charge again. Do
the usual, and then spin him to beat him.

BOSS 10: Roaches (Chase Fight)
Health:
N/A
Difficulty: 5/10 (Medium)
Level: Classroom Chaos
What I have to say: GET USED TO
CORTEX's CONTROLS.
STRATEGY: The roaches aren't hard to outrun, but they are really
annoying. Here are some tips of avoiding the pesky things:
-Don't break every box in your
path. It wastes time.
-If the roaches start to catch you, shoot like crazy. If you're
lucky, you will survive (without a mask)
-Use radial blasts if necessary. 
-If you are
about to get caught, don't shoot the geek-bots in your path.
-This isn't a tip, it's a
hint. Take note that ammo boxes can be destroyed just by touching them.
I can't really say
much more. I just need to say good luck.

BOSS 11: Madame Amberly
Health: 3
Difficulty:
4/10 (Easy)
Level: Rooftop Rampage
What I have to say: Here's a real fight as Cortex. You
will be fighting the very fat Madame Amberly. 
STRATEGY: Madame Amberly is pretty easy,
but very annoying, because if you get a game over, you must do the chase fight with Nina
again, and even if you die, you have to still do everything but the chase fight. Madame
Amberly will start by opening the platforms with electricity, and releasing flames from
it. Shoot it repeatedly to close it. Did I mention that in all Cortex boss fights, Cortex
has unlimited shots. That's good in this fight. After MA finishes firing the beams, she
will summon some bells to come at you. Shoot every bell, and Madame Amberly will turn
around. Shoot the thing on her back to break one of her ropes holding her up. You pretty
much just have to do that two more times, only each time, she opens more and more
platforms, and fires more and more bells.

BOSS 12: The Evil Twins
Health: 6, 4, 4 (14 in
total)
Difficulty: 3/10 (Pretty Easy), 7/10 (Pretty Hard), 4/10 (Easy) (8/10 (Very
Hard))
Level: Ant Agony
What I have to say: When you fight the evil twins in their
gigantic, awesome looking mech, it will be split into three different characters. Here
they are:
STRATEGY:
Nina - Start by running towards one of the columns. The evil twins
will come towards you and fire some ants out. Ignore them and wall reel yourself up. You
will find a strange power source up there. Hit both of them. You must hit all six of the
power sources to finish this part of the fight. He also can stomp, and fire a
flamethrower. 
Cortex - Ironically, the hardest part of the fight. The mech's claws will
transform into a laser cannon and a gatling gun. Start by running over to his left (your
right) and firing like crazy at his laser cannon. He will fire his gatling gun, so avoid
it. Now, run over to his right side (your left) and fire like wildfire at his gatling gun.
He will fire his laser cannon. Keep switching back and forth, until both of the weapons
are history.
Mecha-Bandicoot and Crash - Crash will come back with the Mecha-Bandicoot,
ready for action. Read the controls section of this guide to figure out its controls. The
big shot is completely unnecessary, and won't need to use it. The evil twins will develop
a cylinder-shaped shield around them, which is spinning slowly. It has several spaces,
where you will attack them. The evil twins just use a light saber to attack you. It is
incredibly easy to avoid. The problem with this fight is that it is not dying; you just
need lots of patience. Watch out for the beam saber, and when you find a hole in the
shield, fire a missile ([]) and take a blow at their mech. 3 more successful blows into
their mech will completely destroy it.

3.1 -
More Stuff
==========================================

Here is a little section of my
guide where I do multiple things, I explain some tips, do Q+A, and lots of other
stuff.
Let's start with Q + A. 
Q: Buy or Rent?
A: If you are obsessed with Crash, I
definitely recommend buying, but if you like Crash, but aren't obsessed, I suggest renting
it and seeing if you like it.

Q: I heard that you could play as the Mecha-Bandicoot. Is
this true?
A: Yes, it is. Unfortunately, you only get to play as him for five minutes in
the very end of the game, since Crash can't really blow a giant mech to smithereens by
himself.

Q: I heard that Cortex works with Crash in this game. Is this true?
A: Pretty
much. Uka Uka also helps them, because the Evil Twins want to destroy the world - That's
his job! Cortex wants to help because he doesn't want to lose his brain.

Q: Any new
characters?
A: Yes, quite a few. There is Nina Cortex, Tikimon, Mecha-Bandicoot, Madame
Amberly, Rusty Walrus, The Evil Twins, Evil Crash, etc. 

Q: What is the Japanese name for
this game?
A: Crash and Cortex no Yabou.

Q: Any strange appearances/glitches?
A: Spyro
the Dragon appears after Ant Agony, and takes out Brio, Tropy, and Gin. That's supposed to
happen, though. This is a good game, but it is full of glitches. I got Cortex stuck in a
Classroom Chaos room with the screen in a separate room. I managed to fix it though.

Q:
How are the levels organized?
A: There are four main places in the game, and they have the
hub, and 3 other levels with them. They each contain 6 gems.
Here are the levels:
HUB 1:
N. Sanity Isle
Level: Jungle Bungle *, *
Level: Cavern Catastrophe
Level: Totem Hokum !,
*
HUB 2: Iceberg Lab
Level: Ice Climb *
Level: Slip Slide Ice Capades
Level: High Sea
Hi-Jinks +, !, * 
HUB 3: Academy of Evil
Level: Boiler Room Doom *
Level: Classroom Chaos
!
Level: Rooftop Rampage !, * 
HUB 4: Twinsanity Island 
Level: Rockslide Rumble 
Level:
Bandicoot Pursuit
Level: Ant Agony *

Q: How are the bosses organized?
A: Randomly. There
are different bosses in different levels. I will label each level with a "*" if it has a
boss. If it has a sub-boss, I will label it with a "+". If it has a chase fight, I will
label it with a "!".

Q: I looked at some reviews/forums, and noticed that many people
hate the game. Is this seriously a bad game? 
A: No way. It's their opinion. This
definitely isn't the best Crash game, but it's definitely not the worst.

Q: How's the
music?
A: Some of the boss fight music is incredible, but some music from the levels is
just plain annoying.

I haven't got very many tips
for this game, so lets move on to the end of my
