Complete walkthrough for Crash Bandicoot's Air Crash level, including gem and box locations, secret warp room, and bonus stage access.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by jumping to the platform with a plant, kill it, and jump onto the moving platform when it approaches.
  2. 2
    When the moving platform nears platforms that rise, jump onto them. At the top, jump across the next set of platforms, avoiding the piranha.
  3. 3
    Break the four boxes and jump across two moving platforms.
  4. 4
    Walk along the path, avoiding three piranhas and a plant. Break the three boxes on the pier, including the checkpoint (a save point).
  5. 5
    To continue, jump on the jetski. You can jump across floating boxes to reach an empty platform that warps you to the SECRET WARP ROOM, granting access to a hidden part of Level 2: Snow Go.
  6. 6
    If you've already visited the Secret Warp Room or choose not to, continue on the jetski, breaking boxes around wooden fences and dodging a moving mine. Break the two boxes near the end.
  7. 7
    Use a ramp with a speed boost to break the box on one ramp, then repeat on the other.
  8. 8
    Continue forward, break the two boxes left of the whirlpool, and jump over the fence with a ramp.
  9. 9
    Dodge mines and Nitro before reaching the pier and the next checkpoint.
  10. 10
    After the checkpoint, go to the end of the platform and jump on the hippo, then onto the sinking platform as it rises.
  11. 11
    Cross to the other side and find the platform leading to the BONUS STAGE.
  12. 12
    Jump across gaps, kill the plant to the left. To get the box in the water, jump onto it and then back to the platforms; missing means death.
  13. 13
    Break the box at the end of the platforms to get the CRYSTAL.
  14. 14
    Jump onto the two sinking platforms as they rise and cross to the platform with Aku Aku.
  15. 15
    If you can reach this point without taking damage, you can take the SKULL PLATFORM PATH by jumping on the skull platform.
  16. 16
    On the Skull Platform Path, jump on non-TNT boxes to break them, then jump on a TNT box to detonate them all. Kill the plant and proceed to the checkpoint.
  17. 17
    To collect all boxes, avoid the jetski for now. Slide and jump to the platform on the left of the water, then to the next, and finally to the last one with four boxes.
  18. 18
    Slide and jump back to the pier, then hop on the jetski.
  19. 19
    Avoid mines and Nitro, run into the floating boxes (avoiding Nitro), and jump the fence, being careful not to land on the mine.
  20. 20
    Continue, avoiding a mine and whirlpool, and break the next two boxes.
  21. 21
    Jump the next fence, carefully avoiding mines.
  22. 22
    Pull into the pier and break the box.
  23. 23
    Walk along the final platform, jumping over Nitro and avoiding piranhas to reach the end.

BONUS STAGE:

  • Jump on metal boxes and hit the first ! Box.
  • Walk across appearing boxes, break a box, and hit another ! Box.
  • Walk across more boxes and jump on a TNT box to clear the ! Box.
  • Body slam the reinforced box to break it and activate the ! Box.
  • Jump on three boxes to reach a solid platform.
  • Jump down and break the next two boxes, landing on the platform after the second.
  • Jump on the metal arrow box and follow the Wumpa Fruit path with a life at the top.
  • Jump across the final platforms to reach the end.

SECRET AREA:

  • Access this area only through the Secret Warp Room. You can reach it from Level 13: Bear Down.
  • At the start, you can either jump on the jetski or jump on bounce boxes for lives, then get on the jetski.
  • Break remaining bounce boxes and go forward to fences in the water. Break boxes, watching for Nitro.
  • Pass the moving mine and go left around a mine to reach two boxes.
  • Go forward and right, break all boxes, and go between the last two Nitro boxes to the left.
  • Break the box and use a speed boost past the whirlpool to the pier.
  • Spin into the Green ! Box and walk to the four large platforms at the end to be warped back to the main level start.

SKULL PLATFORM PATH:

  • Accessible by jumping on the skull platform halfway through the level after obtaining the silver gem for breaking all boxes.
  • Jump over the tiny gap between the first two platforms.
  • Jump forward onto the next series of platforms.
  • At the end, jump onto rising and sinking platforms, continuing until you reach normal platforms.
  • Walk to the end, where a hippo and sinking platforms are. Jump onto the first sinking platform when it rises, wait, then jump to the hippo, and then to the next platform when it appears.
Tips
  • You will not be able to get all boxes and the first silver gem without going through the secret area via the Secret Warp Room.
  • Miss the jump onto the water box and you die.
  • There is an outlined platform that may not be usable at the current time.
