Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - Stage 20: Bee-Having (100% Completed)

An obvious bee pun on the word "behaving". This stage is like Diggin' It, except with more Nitro crates, and more BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

I swear, this level and Diggin' It have the happiest-sounding song in the whole game, but hearing those bees approaching Crash is like hearing the sirens of bloody Hell itself.

Their hives are now in clusters, and they attack in swarms of 5. So it's slightly harder to pound through them, but if you can hit them all with one attack, you'll get a 1-UP out of them.

This stage contains the Purple Gem. The last of the colored Gems that I need to get. The secret area that contains this gem lies in a staircase of fake Nitro crates. It took me a long amount of time to figure this out, too.

Besides that, this level's a lot more linear than Diggin' It, so you won't have to worry about any backtracking here.

--------------

After returning to the Warp Room, Cortex talks to Crash again.

This time, he says that the mastermind planning to take over the world this time is Dr. Nitrus Brio. Cortex claims that Brio was the one that dragged him into taking over the world in the first game, not the other way around.

With that in mind, Cortex then tells Crash to use the center platform to deliver the 20 Crystals to his new assistant, Dr. N. Gin.
