Crash Bandicoot 2 - N. Sane Trilogy - Bear Down Without The Bear + Glitches

This is a glitch I came across when I was doing the time trial for Bear Down. At the beginning, I was trying to jump as far beyond the bear as possible, and after I while I jumped far enough to pass the "detection area" or whatever you want to call it. It's not hard to pull off when you know how. Just perform at spin-jump from the very edge where it sticks out the most and you'll probably make it.

Once you get it right, there are several things you can do, like exploring the level, but that's easier said than done. The first jump is just barely possible, but if you land at the right spot, you won't actually die. Now you can try to jump up, or you can walk a little to the left. This allows you to walk under the level for a little while, and the level will lose its "dawn filter" so that it looks like Bear It. You also get some kind of noise. You can also try jumping back up and continue the level. It is also possible to make the jump from the other side, but I only managed to do that once.

Either way, once you're on the other side, you can complete the level. There are a few more difficult jumps, but nothing as bad as the first one. When you get a checkpoint, you will always start over as Crash, so now it's time to see what all the obstacles will do to you. Some of them send you flying just by touching them and it's quite fun to do. Other things just give you a normal death, and the seals won't hurt you at all. Both exits still work, but I only showed the normal one.

This video is comprised of several runs through the level, which is why the life counter goes up and down. I didn't explore absolutely everything, so maybe there's more yet to be discovered with this glitch.
