[edit] Story

They're working together, but they don't have to like it

This is the first game where you play as Cortex and Crash together. It begins with Coco Bandicoot chasing a butterfly through the jungle when Cortex then stuns her and then puts on her clothes to disguise himself as her. Then he lures Crash into an area that Cortex calls a birthday party with all of the previous enemies from the series like Dingodile, Pinstripe Potoroo, Tiny Tiger, Crunch, Nitros Oxide, Polar, Ripper Roo, and Koala Kong, and reveals himself makes out that he has organised a 'birthday party' with the exact opposite (like using bombs as presents). But, Crash defeats Cortex and N. Gin riding in Mecha Bandicoot. He and Cortex then go into a rollerbrawl through the mines and encounter the aliens called Ants for the first time. After they exit the mines, the Evil Twins, Victor and Moritz, mutant parrots from the 10th Dimension tell them they are going to destroy N. Sanity Island. Cortex then gets attacked by bees and is saved by Crash, only to be kidnapped by Papu Papu's tribesmen so that Crash has to save him again! After the escape, they encounter the Evil Twins again, and they bring to life a statue called Tikimon which the duo manage to defeat. They then go to Cortex's iceberg lab, where they meet Uka Uka. He is very angry at them and creates a huge block of ice to destroy them. After his block of ice is melted, Aku Aku convinces Uka Uka that the Evil Twins must be stopped.

At about this time, Dingodile tells N. Gin, Nefarious Tropy, and Nitrus Brio about the Evil Twins' treasure room (having learned by overhearing a complaining Cortex), and the four decide to stop Crash and Cortex. The latter three attack Crash on N. Gin's battleship and fail. Crash obtains a Power Crystal, but Coco thinks he has been kidnapped and breaks it. Crash and Cortex then go to Madame Amberly's Academy of Evil to get Cortex's niece Nina and hopefully save the Power Crystal. Dingodile himself attempts to confront Crash, but it doesn't work. However, Madame Amberly insults Cortex and is attacked. Eventually she falls into a tank of acid under the classroom. Nina gets away and follows Crash and Cortex to the 10th Dimension, along with the Mechabandicoot robot mentioned earlier. They don't know this, but N. Gin, N. Tropy, and N. Brio have followed them there, along with Aku Aku and Uka Uka. Nina, Cortex, and Crash power up Mechabandicoot. Evil Crash kidnaps Nina but is captured by Cortex. Meanwhile, the group lead by N. Tropy fails to steal the Evil Twins' treasure since Spyro intervenes. Nina, Cortex, and Mechabandicoot finally destroy a robot built by the Evil Twins. The Komodo Brothers in painting Cortex decides to use this time to stop Crash Bandicoot with the Evolvo-Ray which he brought along. Another malfunction causes Cortex to be abducted and shrinks which causes him to fall into Crash's ear and onto his brain where he finds Crash clones dancing to music, and Crash, Nina, and the Aku-Uka brothers return home safely. Meanwhile, Evil Crash mistakes the Evil Twins for roast chicken and eats them.

[edit] Hints

  • After you get to the chamber after the up-going drill on area 3 on level 1 (Cavern Catastrophe), there are some smashable boxes in front of you. Throw Cortex over them and jump on the crates and go next to one of the TNT creats. Cortex will return and be next to it. Now turn the timer on the TNT crate on the other side. Go gather the wumpa (without going any further, Cortex will laugh and run away if you do). After the wumpa is gone, jump on the TNT crate (as long as Cortex is next to it) and wait for it to blow up. Cortex will be killed, but you can get the wumpa with Crash. Get the wumpa before it turns black. Don't worry, you won't lose a life if Cortex is killed. Repeat as often as you like to get lots of lives.
  • After you get out of the cavern you'll be on N.Sanity island instead of going all the way up Totem Hokem you can climb a nearby tree next to the worm hole if climbed successfully you have skipped all of Totem Hokum.
