i havnt actually studyed up on this but when you make crash slide on oil towards you, he has an angry look on his face!

On the race levels, on time trial, let all of the cars speed far ahead of you before hitting the clock. Then the cars won't get in the way.

To avoid plane shots in the plane levels, you should try barrel rolling to avoid the shots.

TINY:
He will jump around. When he stops to roar with his pitch fork spin him. then tigers will come out of the caves. spin them and then this will happen again.

DINGODILE:
Stand in th middle of the two shadows. then run away from the flatetthrower blasts. First run right and then jump left. after all (OR AT LEAST UNTIL A PATH HAS BEEN CLEARED) and then spin him. do this three times to defeat him.

N. TROPY:
Jump over the spinning red balls at the beggining and then jump over the really hot waves. then jump over the platforms to get to N. tropy then spin him. do this three times to defeat him.

N. GIN:
Shoot the weak spots (Glowing spots) When N. gin fires missiles.

N. CORTEX:
Dodge the bombs and Masks. After all bombs have been thrown cortex's forcefield will go down for 3 seconds. spin him and then spin him into he opened chamber. do this three times to defeat him.

Yellow: First, get 10 relics. Then, enter level 27, a secret part to Level 7, Hang'em High. Make it to the end of the path to get the gem.
Red: Go to Level 12, Deep Trouble. At the end, hit the ! box and backtrack. The outline box at the fork should now be a TNT. Touch it to set it on it's 3 second fuse. It will clear the path once it explodes. Make it to the end and snag the red.
Purple: Go to Level 13, High Time. Do not die. If you didn't die, about 1/2 way through the level you will see a platform with a skull and crossbones on it. Make it to the end of the path and grab the gem.
Blue: VERY HARD. Go to Lavel 20, Tomb. Same thing as the purple gem. This time, the path is much harder.
Green: Pretty easy. Go to Level 23, Flaming Passion. Do the same thing as you did for the purple and blue gems and you should be fine.
Now that you have all of the colored gems, go to Level 25, Bug Lite. Jump on the blue gem you see in the level. Complete all of the gem paths and you have a well-earned clear gem.

TINY THE TIGER:
He jumps with his spear. he'll try to jump on crash while he moves. once he'll put his spear down and roar. use the spin attack on tiny as many tigers and unleashes. try spinning the lot of them. repeat this 2 more times to defeat him.

DINGODILE:
Avoid his flame blasts. usually get in the middle of two shadows and you won't be hurt. it'll come around again so watch out. dingodile will then shoot a wave of fire at the cyrstals surronding him. when a path from the cyrstal walls break go into the platform with dingodile at whack him. repeat this 2 more times to defeat him.

N. TROPY:
to avoid the red orbs either jump or dodge them by crouching. (Only some will require crouching) then N. tropy will either do a wave going at crash or next to crash. jump over these until the metal plates make a platform to N. tropy once he tries to conserve his energy. do this 2 more times to defeat him.

N. GIN:
shoot parts of his body when the parts are vanruable.

NEO CORTEX:
Jump over the mask's rays and then after cortex shoots 3 energy balls he'll throw mines. after the mines blow up go to cortex and whack him. whack him again to dispose 1 energy. do this 2 more times to defeat him.

If you want to kill enemies much easier, beat N.Gin to obtain the Bazooka and toast your enemies with this!

To get Gold/Platinum Relics on time trial, try to hit (nearly) all of the yellow boxes, without turning around. If you can smoothly sprint through a level hitting all or most of the yellow boxes, you're pretty much set for a higher relic. It can be hard but practice makes perfect.

when you get invincibility on tomb wader the water stays low (hence the name) until it wears off, knowing this, you can easily get a good relic

Try to blast his laserbeams on his mech off before he fires them, to save some health.

If there are nitro's and you aren't sure that you can get around them, shoot them to not risk losing a mask/life.

Shoot the clock from ahead, it can save lots of time.

I found a much shorter path in Level 16 Sphynxinator.
If you are good with hard paths you should be able to easily get a gold or platinum relic.

Use the <span style="color:blue;">Blue Gem</span> hard path. It's much shorter, but it's oil slicked, which makes you faster by sliding anyway.

<span style="color:red;">Warning</span>: There aren't timered boxes on the hard path. Use the slide on the oil slick.

If there is a hard level that you keep dying on and have no relic, try going slowly and taking your time and you possibly could get sapphire.

In the time trials, in order to get the preferable score, do break the yellow boxes. These are time freezers, depending on the number on the box, it freezes the clock for 1, 2 or even 3 seconds. You can break combos for more time.

BossTips:

Tiny Tiger: Run around in circles avoiding Tiny, then when he gets his trident stuck in the floor, spin him. Then, go to the bottom of the screen and avoid the lions (going to the bottom makes it easier to avoid the lions). Repeat 3 times to defeat Tiny.

Dingodile: Run right, avoiding the missiles. Don't step on the shadows; this is where Dingodiles missiles will land. After he stops, avoid his flamethrower. This is gradually destroying his shield of icicles. Once a gap big enough to get in and exit safely is created, run in and jump on him. Escape quickly, ad he'll blow up. Repeat 3 times to defeat Dingodile (on the 2nd attempt, run left for easier evading).

N.Tropy: Avoid his fiery balls and rays, then the tiles will switch around. Make a safe way across and jump on him.
Round 1: 1 ball, 3 rays. Ray 1: towards you from in front. Ray 2: from the right. Ray 3: From the left.
Round 2: 2 balls, 4 rays. Ray 1: From in front. Ray 2: From in front. Ray 3: From the right. Ray 4: From in front.
Round 2: 3 balls, 5 rays. Ray 1: From the left. Ray 2: From the right. Ray 3: Fromin front. Ray 4: From the left. Ray 5: From the left.
3 jumps on his head will kill him.

N.Gin: This boss is different. It isn't where you spin him/jump on him 3 times to win. You must shoot any glowing part (weak spots) with your plane to gradually reduce his health. On the giant robot (paart 1) there are two on the side of his head, two on each arm and one below his chest. Once defeated, he'll attach to a diffrent robot, with 4 above his head, two on the side and one on the bottom. Once this bot s blown up, N.Gin has been defeated.

Dr Neo Cortex: This is the finale.AkuAku and UkaUka fight. Avoid the fight and Cortexes lasers. After 3 lasers, he'll toss mines. After the last mine, his shield drops. Spin him, then repeat until you spin him into the pit. Repeat three times to win.
Round 1: The masks will fire laser eyes at each other, and rotate.in circles. Avoid their lasers.
Round 2: The masks will spin into a tornado and move around he platform. Avoid it.
Round 3: They will bash into eachother, spin and explode. Stay away from them on every round.

Hidden Area:
Go to Road Crash (world3) and ride until you see a small sign on the LEFT path with an alien face on it. Crash into it and you will warp to level 31 Hot Coco.

Motorbike timetrial tips:

Wait a minute or two until the cars finish,then start the timetrial. This helps you by having no cars to bump you around.

Gold Relics:

Beat Cortex to unlock sprinting (by holding R2 while running). This makes Time Trials extemely easy.

Basic Level tips:

On basic levels (Toad Village, Gee Wiz and Double Header) the level is in a 'dip' between two high ledges. Run on this ledge to avoid most enemies and make it to the end with ease. This also makes time trials eassier.

Other tips:

In Time Trials, double jumping can waste valuable time. Only double jump when you really need to (like jumpig up a high wall or across a big gap.

On Dino Might or Bone Yard, when the creature chases you, don't worry about boxes. When it breaks one, it counts so just run like hell!

In time trial, use the Crash Dash ability you can obtain by defeating Cortex.

In the warp room stay still for 20 secs and you will do the victory dance.

If you get a gem or relic, he will go this dance.

If you stay still for half a minate, Crash will take out his yoyo.

Get the double jump (you can't do it on the first go) And Just double jump over the crystals and spin Dingodile. I've tried it and it works.

(At first, I never saw this, but after I ended the game (103%), I actually saw this)
At level 1 Toad Village, go until you find the second sword-swinging swordsman. Instead of keep going, go back to the wet area where there is a frog (you might have killed it before you see the second swordsman). On the right, there is a medieval house, with Fake Crash dancing in there! That's really funny when you first saw it!

When you collect all of the gems and relics (the relics must be gold or platinum) you will have 104%. Walk up to Coco in the warp room and a clear gem will appear. Grab it to be treated to a fireworks display and a well deserved 105% completion.

Spyro the Dragon Demo:

On the title screen, press: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, square.

In the level "DINO MIGHT" if you see orange fish with a blue tail, this was an early form of crash. i guess a fish evolved into a human. and funny.
