Gem Shard

A Gem Shard is a collectable in Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced. They are colored gems that have been split into four parts. Gem shards can be found in certain levels. Green gem shards can be found in Arabian levels, red shards can be found in Egyptian levels, and blue shards can be found in volcanic island levels. Once all four gem shards of a certain color have been collected, a new level is unlocked. However, to access these new levels, the player must have defeated N. Trance, because they are located in the fifth warp room. All of them are needed to unlock the N. Tropy boss fight.
