Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back playthrough Part 3
0Time for floor 2 of the Space Station. Headed to Air Crash first,there's a secret near the start. When you reach the surfboard,instead hop on the boxes over to a platform to be warped to a secret area. Here you can enter a hidden area in Snow Go! This area is a bit difficult,with slippery ice and enemies everywhere,as well as Nitro crates and crushers too. Make it to the end to get the Red Gem! Entered level 6 Snow Biz next. Similar to Snow Go,a new enemy,Porcupines appear here,don't try to attack them when their spines are up. You'll need the Red Gem to get the box breaking Gem here,and the Red Gem path is pretty challenging too. Afterwards,went back to level 7 Air Crash again. This stage has a platform later in the area that only appears if you reach it without dying once up to that point. Once you make it appear,ride it to a new area and make it past the platforming and surfing segments to reach a Gem hidden here. Also got the Crystal of this stage. Don't bother trying to get the box breaking Gem here just yet,you can't until later.
