After the two very large lab assistants were defeated, Crash and Rass must conquer the seven or eight worlds in order to rescue his friends.

Ending

Ending 1:

After going through Cortex’s hideout, the duo challenges Dr. Neo Cortex to a fight to the finish, Cortex accepts the challenge. Once again, the duo has defeated Cortex and they saved Coco, Crunch, and Nass, and later, Cortex gets punched out of his hideout and he is lost in Gasmoxia, he then talks to N. Oxide about his plan and how he failed it.

Ending 2:

This is the same as the first ending, but Cortex is punched out to a mysterious place, he found his old hideout and he uses an abducting machine to capture Crash and his friends, once again, Coco, Crunch, and Nass has been kidnapped again and the duo has to do the same thing all over again. When they arrived at Cortex’s old hideout, the duo wants to challenge him again but Cortex, along with some of his minions, fused themselves together and they became the Mega-Mix V2, the duo was surprised by this and they try to challenge the Mega-Mix, surprisingly, the duo won, the Mega-Mix reverted back to it’s normal form, and Cortex gets punched out again.

Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to the original Crash and Rass. But because that the game is made in a different game system, there are new different controls for the game, plus, the player can locate the duo in a level with the second screen that acts like a map. The player can now store power-ups in the game if they want to use it later or right now. All crates can be picked up by the duo if their stamina is full. The stamina system is also featured in the game, for example, if the duo’s stamina is full, it means that they are both very strong at this time, and if their stamina is empty, they are weaker and they walk slower and jump lower. The stamina can be replenished either by drinking a water bottle or by pressing the “???” button.

Instead of having five levels in each islands, there are now eight levels in each world, the sixth level is a boss fight, it can be accessed if the player completes the first five levels, and the seventh level is an extra level, which is available if the player collects all the crystals and clear gem in the first five levels, and the eight level is an enemy course, it is unlocked by defeating the boss of that world (except in the eighth world, it is unlocked by completing the extra level) . Every time when you complete a level, you will unlock an another level. There are eight worlds in the game, the first world is unlocked by default, while the next six worlds are unlocked by defeating the boss of the previous world, and the eight world is referred as the secret world, which is unlocked by having all of the gems, crystals, and by completing the past 49 levels. The eighth world only has nine levels.

The first two levels of the game are short levels so that’s why their level ID is “0-“Insert random number here.”, boss levels are the only type of levels that actually includes bosses and they must be unlocked if the player gets a key in the other levels, in the extra level, the environment greatly resembles as a village or a city, and the player can do missions to earn a crystal, a power-up, a boss key or a Speckled gem. Bonus level routes are also included as well. Enemy Courses are mini levels where the character that defeats the most enemies after the time limit ends is declared as the winner of that level, winning the enemy course awards the player a checkered gem, it can be played as “Player vs. Player” or “Player vs CPU”. And also, unlike it's predecessor, all the levels have a different music even if the levels are in the same type.
