Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - Stage 12: Sewer or Later (100% Completed)

Sewer or Later, based on the phrase "Sooner or Later" is the second sewer level in this game, located in the sewer Warp Room. That's a hell of a lot of sewer.
--------------

There's a Yellow Gem Path here, based on the Yellow Gem I just got in the previous level. Strangely, its challenge Clear Gem is in the middle of this route instead of at the end, and the end of the route doesn't take you back to the same spot you first found the gem platform at.

So unless you want to do some tedious, possibly-fatal backtracking (because of the fast moving fans that are impossible to bypass on your own), just die sometime after getting the challenge Gem, and it should take you back to the checkpoint right before the entrance, then you can go through the level as normal.

Remember this, and you'll get the Crystal, crate Clear Gem, and challenge Clear Gem in once sitting. I go through the gem route anyway to show you what it looks like.

Back at the sewer Warp Room, Coco is able to talk to Crash again. She finally discovers Cortex's new and improved Cortex Vortex, and the space station that accompanies it.

She tries to tell Crash what Cortex might do with it, but she loses her connection yet again.

Of course, WE, the ones who played through this game and its sequels, know what Cortex's true plans are.

But once again, the main catch is that Crash, himself, doesn't have a clue, and is still currently under the mindset of helping Cortex SAVE the world, not destroy or conquer it.
