Hey guys, welcome to my post. This time, I'm gonna give you some recommendations and tips to easily complete the second level of World 1 in Crash Bandicoot 3, so get ready to take a dip!
In this aquatic level you have to swim through underwater caves and reefs. But don't worry about running out of air because Crash has an infinite oxygen tank lol. Take a few moments to get used to the underwater controls: with the jump button you propel yourself by moving your fins, and you can also use the tornado attack to kill the most harmless enemies.
Small fish pose no threat, but watch out for sharks because they will swallow you in one bite if you get too close to them (with the tornado attack you can take care of them). Other hazards to watch out for are mines and puffer fish, which make Crash swell up when you touch them, destroy them when they are deflated or if you prefer go past them quickly. The mines are attached to chains and you can't attack them by doing the tornado. These traps also follow your movements, so avoid them at all costs.
There will come a moment when you will have to go through a dome with a rotating electric plate. Always stay on the flat side of this plate. When you go down the tube below, watch out for the eels that suddenly attack from the caves, one on the right and one on the left.
Shortly after, you will come to a jet ski. This is a very useful device because it fires torpedoes that will clear your path of any enemy, as well as coral that may hide secret boxes. It also acts as a shield to protect you from an enemy hit: if you get one you lose the jet ski, but you lose it not long after anyway, as you approach the next narrow tube. Don't worry: you'll get another one soon after.
What the rest of the path contains are the same enemies and dangers. You just have to be attentive depending on the situation. Make sure you go over the crystal that is right near the exit of the level and also break all boxes you see along the way to get another gem.
That's all, hope you found this post helpful or entertaining. Thank you for reading and supporting me.
