Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex - Boss 5: Crunch Time & Ending Credits (Crash Dash Get!)
532So once again, for the third time in their lives, Crash and Coco has found 25 more Crystals. The only thing to do now was to face Cortex and Uka Uka yet again. And this time, Crash has his "evil twin" Crunch to deal with, too.
Crunch is now fully-charged with Elemental power, and he shows this by using the four switches in the background to summon different powers.
- Yellow = Earth: Rok-Ko appears and drops burning rocks everywhere.
- Blue = Water: Wa-Wa appears. Since water really isn't harmful as the other elements can be, and the arena isn't set up in a way to drown Crash without endangering the villains, Wa-Wa instead summons ice boulders that freeze Crash on impact. This is the only Elemental move that doesn't outright kill him.
- Red = Fire: THE FLOOR IS LAVA! Or at least one fire at different parts...
- Purple = Air: Electric lines zip across. For some reason, you can't jump over them, because they'll hit you, anyway. It's really annoying!
Jumping around and hitting those switches does drain him of energy. When he's catching his breath, shoot him with the Bazooka. He'll get dazed for a moment, blame Cortex for it, then hit him to where you are. Although you're mostly fighting and beating up Crunch, this boss battle overall still has Cortex as its main source of health. After hitting Cortex, Uka Uka picks him up and drags him back to his control panel as Crunch adds more attacks to his combo.
After hitting Cortex enough times, Uka Uka spins him in the air helplessly and you've beaten the trio, earning you the last Power: The Speed Shoes, a.k.a., the Crash Dash, which makes you run faster just like in Warped!
--------------
Afterwards, Crash heads back to the Warp Room in this victory, and Cortex is left to once again complain about getting another lost. But them, Uka Uka reminds Cortex that while Crash and his friends have gotten all of the Crystal, they have yet to get all of the Gems. If they find all of the Gems, they can use their power instead to fully re-awaken the Elementals to end Crash and take over the world once and for all.
During the credits, Crash does disco-dancing with a disco-dancing Lab Assistant, all to some groovy space-like music.

In this video, I removed every instance of a loading screen, but this time I also didn't put out my "SKIP!" message acknowledging that. I won't be doing that anymore.
I've beaten the game at this point, but that was only really more than half of the game. The true task to finishing this game is to collect all of the Gems, and to help with that, you need to get all of the Relics, too.
I will start recording and uploading my progress of that in the future, so stay tuned for when I do!
