Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back 100% Walkthrough (All crystals & gems) No damage (4K 60FPS)

(Closed captions available)

This is a complete walkthrough of the original Crash Bandicoot 2 for the Playstation. I play the game from start to finish and collect every crystal and gem along the way. Each level is completed without taking any damage or intentionally dying for the sake of efficiency. Because of this, some levels are replayed more than they usually would be, as to collect certain gems that are impossible to collect in one deathless run of the level. The walkthrough is segmented however meaning that there are save states used in between each level.

The game is played on the Duckstation emulator and upscaled to 4K resolution. AI interpolation is used to achieve 60 frames per second video, Though the game is still played at standard 30 frames per second.

The Walkthrough is done on the NTSC-U version of the game.
