| abstract | - One year after the original game, Cortex turns to Crash for help in an effort to prevent the planet Earth from facing certain doom. All the planets in the solar system will align soon, and, according to Cortex, create enough energy to tear the world apart. His solution to the crisis lies in crystals: In the aftermath of the original game he discovered the Master Crystal, but that alone will not be enough - he needs Crash to collect 25 Slave Crystals so he can contain the energy of the planetary alignment and save Earth. This was where the Crash Bandicoot franchise grew its beard, with notable improvements on the first game in just about every area: Significantly better controls and level design, new moves and tricks to use, slightly more forgiving difficulty, and some of the most sublime non-prerendered graphics seen on the Play Station at its time of release, not to mention a long time afterwards.
