Beating the Bosses
Having some trouble? These tips and tricks should help.

Boss one: Papu Papu
To do to beat him, dodge the large stick that he swings around. When he's done swinging, jump on his head and that sends him backwards. When he's falling back, spin him 3 times and he will be gone.

Boss two: Ripper Roo
Detonate the dynamite boxes he lays down when he's on a nearby square. Do this three times and move on.

Boss three: Koala Kong
Dodge the four boulders he throws at you. When the fourth one lands in front of you, spin attack the rock and it will hit Koala Kong. Do this 4 times and move on.

Boss four: Pinstripe
Keep your eyes on him the whole time. When he jumps off the table, wait till he stops shooting then spin attack him. To avoid being shot, hide behind the couches. Hit him like that three or four times and he'll be on the ground.

Boss five: Dr. Nitrus Brio
To beat this boss, dodge the red and green beaker bombs that he throws. Jump on the green blobs that are on the floor and those will crash into Brio. When he has thee energy bars left, he turns into a demon. Jump from the platform and smack his head. Repeat till he's on the floor.

Final boss: Dr. Neo Cortex
To beat the doc, watch his red and blue attacks. When you see a green one, send it back. Remember, TIMING IS EVERYTHING.

Extra Ending
After you beat the game go back to the great hall.At the start go left and there will be a gem.Jump on it.Then there will be a bunch more you have to jump on.At the end you will see Crashes girlfriend out on the balcony.Go over to her and it will show you what happened to the bosses after you beat them.
Jump The Fence
When you get to Native Fortress, make your way to the second spot where you have to spin the logs to get up. When you've cleared the final log, kill the turtle then hold UP and JUMP. If it worked you will wind up behind the fence that was earlier on your side! To get out out just walk forward until you can't go any further, then hold DOWN and JUMP and you'll land on one of those fire shooters. Make sure it isn't shooting fire when you land on it! This is a great way to pass some of the harder parts of this level and to get some extra peaches!
