Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back playthrough Part 9
0Level 19 up next,called Ruination. This stage has some nitro and tnt traps hidden behind normal boxes,so be careful as you break them around here. The first box switch you hit even makes only nitro crates pop up! You'll need the Green Gem to make a platform appear here,make it through the area with the log tossing apes and the moving platforms to reach a Gem. If you're going for the box breaking gem,you'll have to die to return to the checkpoint,to get all the boxes.The final stage of this floor is called Bee-Having. Similar to Diggin' It,it has grenade tossing plants,moving statues,and of course bees that try to sting you. Remember to dig underground to help dodge some nasty stuff,but keep in mind you can still run into nitro crates that way. This stage has a very sneaky hidden warp point in it. Look for a stack of nitro crates that don't bounce around. You can safely hop on these nitro crates,as they're fakes. It ends up leading to the Purple Gem! Time for this floor's boss afterwards. BOSS FIGHT: N.Gin. Piloting a giant robot here. Crash gets to toss wumpa fruits at him for this fight. First aim for his 2 hands,which will fire laser beams at you every now and then. When those are gone,he'll start firing missiles at you. Aim for his shoulders when they open up. Finally,he'll resort to using a giant laser to destroy your platforms. Aim for the laser,you can get maybe 3 hits before you have to bail out and jump to another platform safely. After enough hits he's down for the count,and you'll reach the final floor!
