Uka Uka: Why, WHY must you continue to be a thorn in our side!? Dr. Neo Cortex: Huh, What? Where was i? Oh, Tiny was a good fellow. He Hated everyone and everything but a good heart nonthiless. please be more reasonable with my minions next time?
Aku Aku: Crash, Coco, it seems you have acquired a Gem from when you completed that level. Interestingly enough, Gems, can also harness planetary energy, just like crystals. We need to find the gems as well as the crystals, just in case Dr Cortex and Uka Uka still have a chance to triumph after we find all the crystals. One way of getting Gems is by breaking every single box in a level. But beware, some gems are harder to find than others!
After collecting 5 gems:
Aku Aku: Crash, Coco, you have now collected 5 Gems. I see you're getting the hang of it. Remember, you can get Gems by destroying every box in a level. and you might have to go down some tricky paths to get some gems, so be careful. The coloured gems seem the most rare and valuable, so try to look out for them as well; they might come in useful.
0:55 Aku Aku: Crash, Coco, remember. It is not only Dr. Cortex that we battle. Beware of Uka Uka my children. He is a far more dangerous enemy than anyone can imagine.
Aku Aku: Crash, Coco, I'm going to explain it to you one last time. In Each time travel area, there are 5 levels, and each level has a crystal. You need to find the crystal in that level, before Cortex's minions do. After we have collected all 5 crystals from this area, then we can continue to the next one. But you have to hurry; every second that's wasted is more time that Cortex will use to take over the world! And you don't want that to happen, do you?
