High Time | Crash Bandicoot 3 | Levels Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Guide
Last update: 11 August 2017
Secrets:
- Clear Gem - Destroy all 85 crates.
- Purple Gem - You must unlock a Death Route and complete it without dying.
- 1 secret level (Death Route).
- 1 bonus round.
Warning - It is recommended to complete this level twice. During your first playthrough you should ignore a Death Route and focus on reaching all crates. Playing it for the second time you must reach a Death Route and complete it. An alternative portal, that ends this level, can be found when you get a Purple Gem.
Walkthrough:
This level isn't that demanding, although you have to be careful when you eliminate enemies and avoid some of the obstacles. Also, you can rather easily get one colored Gem but remember that a Death Route is unlocked only if you didn't die on your way to it.
When you start the level you come across new obstacles - some enemies can throw pots with flammable substance at you (the picture above). Look for black spots on the floor because those are places where pots will land. Going through this obstacle is simple - wait for flames to disappear and run before an enemy throws another pot. Warning - Don't leave the starting location yet, because pots shatter in two spots that are close to each other.
Destroy crates, bounce off of those with arrow and then use a trampoline. When you land on a small balcony you must get rid of more crates and wait for a flying carpet which can take Crash up. During the last part of the flight you must use the Spin attack in the air to eliminate an enemy on a smaller flying carpet.
When you are on the rooftop you can destroy new crates and after that you must head right and use another flying carpet to reach another location. On the top you must watch out for a monkey with pots. Eliminate it by using a slide. However, you must watch out so that a slide won't take you too far to the right because this is the place where another pots with flammable substance land. Avoid them carefully.
Jump in order to catch bars and move right. The best way to deal with scorpions is to eliminate them, although you can wait for a perfect moment and avoid them. When you are on your way you must remember to jump down on a small balcony where you can find many crates to destroy. When you reach the end of the bars you must jump down on a flying carpet.
Use another carpet that will help you to reach a plate with a question mark presented in the picture 1. Of course, you must start the bonus round. In the beginning of that level you must use double jumps. Watch out in the place where you can find groups of crates with apples (picture 2). Try to destroy the ones that are at the top and the one that is at the highest spot. After that you can deal with the ones that are at the bottom (you can also hit the ground with your body when you stand next to them so you won't have to risk jumping over a chasm).
When you return from the bonus round you must move forward. Jump on one of the flying carpets and while you are on your way to a new ledge you can collect a Purple Gem. In the new area you must perform a slide perfectly again to eliminate a monkey with pots. Then, you must avoid another place where fire appears.
If you didn't die yet then, in the place presented in the picture 1, you can notice a plate with a skull that takes you on a Death Route. When you reach this secret location you must avoid new flaming areas. On the top you must bounce off of a trampoline and then land on a carpet. The right ledge is occupied by a monkey with pots and it is a good idea to land on it (you can use a double jump). Move forward and during one of your jumps you must take out an enemy on a flying carpet. Then, you must catch another bars and eliminate scorpions. You must be careful during the next few landings on flying carpets because it is easy to make a mistake in those places.
The Purple Gem, presented in the picture 2, is on the last ledge. Next to it you can also find a portal that ends the level. Warning - If you don't want to do the beginning of this level again then, after you get the Purple Gem, you can commit suicide. You go back to the last checkpoint on the main path and you won't lose the Purple Gem.
In order to continue your journey through the main part of the map you must start climbing again, this time by bouncing off of trampolines and using flying carpets. A monkey with pots is on the highest ledge. Wait for it to move to the right and when you land on that place you must immediately go on the neighbor roof.
You must carefully detonate TNT crates and then use the nearby flying carpets. In the place marked on the picture above there is an unknown enemy. He keeps throwing sabers. When you land on the ledge that leads to him you must keep jumping on your way to him so you won't get hit. To eliminate him you can use a slide, Spin attack or land on him.
While you are going right you must watch out for TNT (one of the red crates can help you to kill a monkey with pots), an enemy on a flying carpet and scorpions. Keep using bars and jump down in right places to land on flying carpets. Soon, you can notice "the main" portal that ends this level.
