This game along with the other two in the series is next on my list to platinum, hypes me up to see someone else grinding it out too! Loving the dedication and skill you put forth in these videos, can’t wait for the next ones!

10:03 as someone who played this game on Psone, i knew IMMEDIATELY what box he missed/didn't break

[dathotbox]

Did these 3 but way too scared to even attempt Crash 4 😂 found crash 1 to be the hardest for me

My biggest issue with Crash 2 was just how confusing and secretive the whole structure of the game was. Someone described it as 'cryptic', which was so true. There were so many times I'd try collecting all the boxes in a level only to realize at the end that it wasn't possible without a certain colored gem or a certain secret route. And times where I ended up needlessly replaying levels to get something I could have gotten on my first visit that I just didn't know about. Secret routes. Death routes. Colored gem paths. Backtracking. Searching online for ways to get something only to realize it isn't possible yet. I ended up replaying some levels way too much. That all irritated me so much that after getting the platinum I spent an unholy amount of time looking up information about the levels in the fandom wiki to better understand and familiarize myself with the structure of the game so that I could make a handy written list of steps, so that if a friend of mine started the game, he would know the most effective way to go about completing it, with minimum backtracking. So here it is:

💀 means there's a death route; a platform with a skull you must use that only spawns if you reach it without dying.

It is assumed that you must get the crystal on every level you visit.

WARP ROOM 1:
In Turtle Woods, get both gems.
In Snow Go, get box gem.
In Hang Eight, get both gems.
In The Pits, get the only gem.
In Crash Dash, get the only gem.

WARP ROOM 2:
In 💀 Air Crash, get hidden gem and find secret exit to Alt Snow Go.
[+] In Alt Snow Go, get red gem.
In Snow Biz, get only gem.
In Bear It, get only gem.
In Crash Crush, get only gem.
In The Eel Deal, get both gems.

WARP ROOM 3:
In Plant Food, get both gems.
In Sewer or Later, get both gems.
In Bear Down, get the only gem and the secret exit to Alt Air Crash.
[+] In Alt Air Crash, get the box gem.
In 💀 Road to Ruin, get hidden gem.
In Un-Bearable, get the only gem and the secret exit to Totally Bear.
[+] In Totally Bear, get the only gem.

WARP ROOM 4:
In Hangin' Out, get the only gem and the secret exit to Totally Fly.
[+] In Totally Fly, get only gem.
In 💀 Diggin' it, get both gems and the secret exit to Alt Road to Ruin.
[+] In Alt Road to Ruin, get the box gem.
In 💀 Cold Hard Crash, get both gems.
In Ruination, get both gems.
In Bee-Having, get both gems.

WARP ROOM 5: get all gems in all levels in any order. Simple as that.

In 💀 Piston it Away, both gems.
In Rock It, only gem.
In 💀 Night Fight, both gems.
In Pack Attack, only gem.
In Spaced Out, both gems.

You'd still likely have to look up stuff online, but at least you'd know what's possible on a visit. I could have used a piece of text like this one. It could have saved me a significant amount of time and would have made the playthrough so much more effective. Please let me know if I've made a mistake.

Lmao i noticed the missing box before even seeing your reaction 8:57 😂
You'll be big one day bro i can see it, keep it up G we like your content a lot 😍

[kingkamina]

underrated channel. You're entertaining and watching people platinum games is very fun. I personally know the grind and satisfaction of platting, so seeing videos like this inspire me. Keep it up!

[alexequillex]

Congrats on the Crash 2 platinum. I’ve platinumed all 3 and personally I found Crash 2 the hardest. I would love to do Crash 4 but I’m not at that skill level yet 😅. Can’t wait to see you complete it! Awesome video as always

[mordauntdarkwizard]

Neat video. I just got done getting all the platinum relics for Crash 1 (besides Stormy Ascent, but one day...) and have moved onto Crash 2. I definitely feel the level design is different. For one thing there are a lot less levels that are 2D/2.5D than in the first (The Great Gate, Native Fortress, Lost City, Sunset Vista, Slippery Climb, Stormy Ascent, Heavy Machinery, and Castle Machinery; the second had mostly just 2D sections but not full levels) and I kind of miss it. While those were some of the hardest levels, they felt good to get good at, like when hopping from one receding platform after another. I think a bit part of it is you don't have to deal with depth perception as much.

[andrewbrookesdartsclips]

Great video mate 😊 I have done the first 3 and definitely found 2 the hardest of them all. I enjoyed crash 1 more to platinum than I did crash 3 as well. Although I found crash 3 more forgiving with the power apps and gives you more options to get through the levels. I am playing crash 4 now and struggling just to complete the levels never mind getting the gem and not dying! Happy new year mate, all the best for 2023. Hopefully many more platinum videos to come

[pedrocosta]

8:57, could it be the one box that you missed? Behind those rocks

[lokephoenix]

I feel like Crash 2 should come with a warning saying “Look up Cold Hard Crash before you try it, you WILL miss that box” 😂 we all know your pain my guy

[tnsicgaming]

I’ve platinum’d crash 2 and Warped, only needed to do the time trials on crash 1 for platinum and personally I reckon 2 was the easiest! It might be also cause it’s my favourite out of the trilogy and I’m very familiar with it! Crash 4 tho? Man that’s been a whole other level of pain, only got 7 n-sanely perfect relics and like 18-20 platinum time trial relics and we got it tho! Great video man! Definitely gonna sun and keep watching! Keep it up homie :)

[ItsMeDavvo]

Man i found actually that crash 2 Is the hardest, It has 42 gems instead of 26, and the hardest parte in my opinion, arent the relics but THE GEMS, everyonw who platinumed it knows how much hard was to get the "cold hard crash" gem

[DarkFrozenDepths]

No clue if anyone mentioned it, but getting both gems and the crystal in a lot of these levels is made easier by dying after collecting the extra gems, then breaking every box for the 2nd gem... and some stages like cold hard crash is possible to get the crystal as well for all 3 collectibles in 1 shot

[mawerick]

Already 1k, less go, congrats, just like a few days ago you were at 600, can't wait to see you make it big one day 👏🏼

[SoloManDX]

No joke my man. This is top tier youtuber stuff, I hope you make it! :)

[AquaticIce]

Yessir been waiting for this one, love to see you blow up man. keep on growing! loving every vid you throwing out!

[nerdwizard]

I got the platinum for the trilogy back in 2017 on my old account however i lost all my accounts progress when i got my ps5 as i was using my dads psn account on my ps4 and never set one up for myself. So i had to replatinum the entire trilogy. According to my new account it took me roughly 50 hours for all 3. Crash 4 on the other hand is unforgiving and hopefully going to be my 31st platinum. Main difference is getting every box in a level without dying once to collect the perfect relics on all levels and instead of gold you need the platinum time trials. It is absolutely brutal and id argue its even harder than when i was platinuming bloodborne and cuphead. Great video, always love crash getting some love from the trophy hunting community.
