Crash Bandicoot Gems walkthrough: All green, white, red, blue, purple, yellow coloured Gem locations, Key locations, Secret Levels and how to 100% each game How to fully unlock everything in each game. Guide by Chris Tapsell Reviews Editor Updated on 24 May 2021 2 comments Crash Bandicoot is back! The N Sane trilogy features remakes of the original three PlayStation adventures, with a glossy facelift that keeps the levels and incredible challenge intact, and is now availably on Switch, PC, and Xbox as well as the PS4. While completing each stage is one thing, finishing them 100% is another thing entirely. Not only that, but the way you find all Gem locations and Key locations is slightly different in each game, so knowing how that works will save you a lot of time and hassle. If you're looking for more general tips and an explanation of what's new meanwhile, you'll want to take a look at our Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Guide and tips. Crash Bandicoot NSane Trilogy: Complete PS4/Pro vs PS1 Graphics Comparison! Crash Bandicoot Gem Locations Coloured Gems and Key Locations Each stage has one Gem to unlock, which is done by smashing every crate on a single runthrough of a level. On White Gem stages, you can lose a life while you attempt this, but coloured Gems require you to complete it in a single attempt, with no lives lost. In both cases, you need to also clear their special stages, but thankfully you can at least die as many times as you like in those without risk of losing a life or the Gem.

There's also an added layer of complexity to how you get coloured Gems. Instead of simply clearing a level without dying, you now have to perform a variety of actions - like finishing a level without destroying any crates. Finally, Death Routes were introduced. These are special platforms that take you to Bonus Rounds, but are only available if you reach them without dying in that level. Throw in the fact that you'll need to double back for one or two of them, and they're a pretty dastardly mechanic. Good luck!

While the secret entrances and exits are slightly less complicated than those in the previous entry, that certainly doesn't make them easy. Two completely hidden levels, a 105 per cent maximum completion rate, and hidden Warps all mean this Crash is still as challenging as ever.
