that game is crash 3 levels of hard tho, in some places WAY too much
only thing i hated was in the last level, cortex vortex, there was like a gem or skull route or something and you had to walk over a long path of nitro crates but this was like the only location in the entire game where you had to use the tip-toe ability to walk over them. problem is that i had no idea that this was possible so i spent so much time trying to figure out how to complete that route
