CRASH BANDICOOT BOSS GUIDE BY NickWhiz1 Version 1.0 HISTORY OF FAQ 1.0 Boss descriptions and weaknesses 1. Papu Papu 2. Ripper Roo 3. Koala Kong 4. Pinstripe 5. Dr. Nitrus Brio 6. Dr. Neo Cortex 1. Papu Papu (Island 1) Hit Points: 3 This couldn't be any easier. Jump on his head while he's swinging his staff. Piece of cake. 2. Ripper Roo (Island 2) Hit Points: 3 All he does is jump around. Here are the places where he jumps: (X: No, O: Yes) 1st Hit X X X X O X O X O 2nd Hit X X X O O O X O X 3rd Hit X O X O X O X O X The trick is to activate the Big TNT boxes so they explode when he is on a bordering block. Three hits is all that is needed. 3. Koala Kong (Island 2) Hit Points: 4 Another easy boss. He will throw three rocks at you, then a fourth one which will stay on the field. Hit it back to him, but make sure to get him and not the carts. The TNT boxes aren't too much of a problem to dodge. Four hits and he's toast.' 4. Pinstripe (Island 3) Hit Points: 6 Why are all these bosses so easy? Hide behind the couches while he is shooting. When he stops shooting, spin him. When his hit points get down to three, hide behind the left couch. He will shoot from the right, then middle, then left, then reload. Hit him when he reloads. The next part is the exact opposite. Again, wait for him to recharge, then hit. The final time he will recharge in the middle. Hit him one more time (six in all) to win. 5. Dr. Nitrus Brio (Island 4) Hit Points: 9 (9?!) This is a little tougher. When he throws a green beaker, it turns into a blob. Hit the blob to chop a hit point off Brio (8 to go). When he throws a red beaker, it makes an explosion. Then it will go 2 green, 3 red, 3 green, 6 red. When he's down to three, he'll turn himself into a giant monster. Use the blocks that fall to jump up and hit his head three times to advance. 6. Dr. Neo Cortex (The Blimp) Hit Points: 5 Cortex is about the same difficulty as N. Brio. Just dodge the red and blue attacks and spin the green ones back. Doing this will create an orb above Cortex. When it is big enough, it will hit Cortex. The 1st, 4th, and 5th require 1 green, the 2nd one 2 green, and the 3rd one 3 green. Get in five hits and Cortex is history.
