- Dr. Nitrus Brio: So, you're helping Cortex to gather crystals. Yet you've acquired a gem. Interesting! Well Crash, know this, as long as you are allied with Cortex, you are my sworn enemy and I will do everything in my power... to stop you! If the fate of the world is truly your concern, you should collect the gems, not the cr-crystals. If you collect all 42 gems I can use them to focus a
- [laughs uncontrollably]
- Dr. Nitrus Brio: focus a laser! A laser beam that will destroy Cortex and his space station! Until then, I will use my forces to stop you from gathering crystals!
- Dr. N. Gin: But Dr. Cortex, to reach full power we need not only your 'Master Crystal' but also the remaining 25 *slave* crystals, on the surface. How do you expect to retrieve them, when we don't have any earthbound operatives left?
- Dr. Neo Cortex: You fool! Do you think I am unaware of the situation? If we don't have any friends left in the surface, then we need to find... an enemy.
- Dr. N. Gin: [after being defeated] Dr. Cortex will be very displeased with your resistance...
- [Cortex gasps for breath]
- Dr. N. Gin: Prepare to suffer his wrath!
- Dr. Neo Cortex: No! NO! NO! Crash! To save the world, I need Crystals! CRYSTALS! One more time, they look like this:
- [a hologram of a Crystal appears]
- Dr. Neo Cortex: CRYSTALS, Crash! Go back through one of those doors, and bring me CRYSTALS!
- Dr. Neo Cortex: [laughing evilly] Yes! My plans are almost complete... and I have you, Crash Bandicoot, to thank for!
- [the Hologram loses power]
- Dr. Neo Cortex: N. Gin? What's happening? Who's trying to steal our signal?
- Coco Bandicoot: [takes over the Hologram] Crash! Cortex isn't going to use the Crystals to contain the planet's energy! He's going to harness their force and use it to power his super Cortex Vortex he's built on his Space Station! One blast of the ray will cover the entire planet, turning everyone into Cortex's mindless slaves! Crash, don't let him have those Crystals!
- Dr. Neo Cortex: [regains the signal] N. Gin, you fool! She's revealing everything! Ah,yes... we're back. Pardon the... uh... interruption... Crash, bring me cyystals!
- [on the beach]
- Coco Bandicoot: Crash, what do you suppose happened to Cortex?
- [Coco narrows her eyes]
- Coco Bandicoot: And what about the Cortex Vortex? It's still up there.
- [Coco looks up and so does the camera. The Cortex Vortex hovers away in space and the credits roll]
- [after Crash collects the final gem]
- Dr. Nitrus Brio: [appears as a Hologram image] You... you aquired all of the gems! Incredible! The cystals are not the only means of harnessing planetary energy! The *gems* are that ability as well! And with them, I can to destroy the Cortex Vortex forever! Let me warp you to my completed Laser installation. Hmmm.
- Dr. Neo Cortex: Well, well, well... if it isn't Crash Bandicoot. Welcome. I apologize for the cruel means used to bring you here, but I'd rather expect a written invitation would have been turned down. I need your help. Surrounding you are a series of five doors. Through each door lies a well-hidden crystal. The crystals look like this.
- [shows crystal]
- Dr. Neo Cortex: Bring me the crystals Crash. That's all I will say for now. We will speak again.
- [Coco's laptop screen goes blank]
- Coco Bandicoot: Crash? Crash? Crash! My battery's fried. Make yourself useful big brother and bring an extra battery for me.
- [Crash defeats Cortex and sends him flying through space]
- Dr. Neo Cortex: NOOOOOO! You haven't seen the last of me, CRASH BANDICOOT!
