Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - Level 25: Bug Lite (Multicolored Gem Path/Gold Relic Get)

The strategy I use is one I haven't used since "Bone Yard".
First, I hunt down the challenge Gem. Like Crash 2's 25th level, it utilizes all 5 colored gems to get through the Gem. This time it's in this order: Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, & Red.
The Green & Red Gem platforms, in particular, even take you to paths that match their own colors. After the Red Gem, you reach the 2nd Clear Gem of that level.
Then, since I didn't hit any Check Points, I intentionally kill myself yet again to go back to the very start of the level, where I now go through its Time Trial.
The trio tower of Aku Aku crates are still present during this Time Trial, so you have a guaranteed, flawless opportunity to initiate the invincibility from them.
I'll settle for a Gold Relic for now, but I'm sure I was only a few seconds away from a Platinum.
Now at this point, I've beaten this game 99%, and since I should have more than 25 Relics at this point thanks to Levels 31 & 32, Level 30 is the last level I need to take care of.

Playing with death like that is actually very clever.

Reminds me the stage of the Pokémon way to the Indigo Plateau, where if you didn't have all the medals you couldn't pass

[@americanboy7525]

how come the red platform won't show up for me?!

[@samcoleman605]

Because you don't have the red gem. You need to make your way to the end of Deep Trouble, activate the Outline crate, and then go back through the pipe where you'll find a TNT. Activate the TNT, and it should open up the path for you to get the red gem, and the box gem
