Intro
[A space station in shown plummeting from orbit, back down to Earth. It's on a collision course with the Wumpa Islands. The entrance to an ancient temple is shown in the middle of the jungle. The space station falls from the sky, landing on the temple with a huge explosion. A wisp of bright blue light emerges from the wreckage.]

???: "Muhahahaha! Free... at last...!"

[Meanwhile, outside the Bandicoot House, Crash, Coco, Aku Aku and Polar are relaxing, enjoying the afternoon sunshine. Ominous evil laughter echoes through. Coco looks up in concern. Polar wakes up from his nap, looking afraid.]

Aku Aku: "Uka Uka is free? No... it cannot be...! Evil, great evil has come..."

[Aku Aku floats inside, Coco and Polar following behind. Crash looks off into the distance, scratching his head, but jumps as the door slams behind him. He turns around and runs inside.]

[In the Time Twister Machine, Doctor Neo Cortex is on his knees, grovelling before Uka Uka.]

Uka Uka: "None have dared to fail The Great Uka Uka even once, but you, Cortex, you have failed me TWICE!"

Cortex: "Great Uka Uka! It was that infernal bandicoot-!"

Uka Uka: "From deep inside my temple prison, I sent you simple instructions to follow, but you lost the gems, you lost the crystals, and I have LOST MY PATIENCE! There is now no other power source left on this planet!"

Cortex: "I know, we've had a few unfortunate... setbacks-!"

Uka Uka: "AND YOU FAILED! But, since your bumbling has managed to set me free, I am feeling... generous. There is still a way for us to amass the power needed to enslave this miserable planet. And this time... this time, the great Uka Uka, will make sure that you do it right!"

[A shadowy figure emerges from the background, revealing themselves to be Doctor Nefarious Tropy. N. Tropy crosses his arms and smirks down at Cortex.]

[Meanwhile, back inside the Bandicoot House, Aku Aku is informing Crash and Coco about Uka Uka in front of the fireplace.]

Aku Aku: "After many eons, my evil twin Uka Uka has been freed from his underground prison. Long ago I locked him there to protect the world from his malice. Now, freed once again, he must be stopped!"

[The front door of the house is thrown open. Polar, Coco, Aku Aku and Crash all rush outside. Polar stops outside the front door, pawing at the ground and bearing his teeth. Crash, Aku Aku and Coco arrive at the Time Twister.]

Aku Aku: "Children. Uka Uka and Cortex plan to use this Time Twisting Machine to gather crystals that lay scattered across time. I have brought you here to recover the crystals before they do so. To open the time portal, simply stand on a button and then jump into the portal. Good luck."

Cortex's threat
[Cortex's face appears, floating in a time vortex. Uka Uka floats in the background.]

Cortex: "Crash, Crash, Crash, why must you always muck in my mud? Oh, look. I have a mask helping me, too! We will find out which one is more powerful soon enough!"

[Cortex's face disappears, and the vortex fades.]

Forgetting the crystal
[Aku Aku appears in the vortex.]

Aku Aku: "Crash, Coco, you forgot to bring the crystal out of that level. Quickly, go back in and get it. Cortex's minions are searching for it as we speak."

Forgetting the crystal... again
Aku Aku: "Crash. Coco. You are not listening to me."

[An image of a crystal appears next to Aku Aku in the vortex.]

Aku Aku: "Find the crystals that look like this, before Doctor Cortex enslaves us all!"

Time Trials
Aku Aku: "Crash, Coco, if you have already retrieved a level's crystal, then you will find a floating clock when you enter for the second time. This floating clock activates time trial mode. Grab it, and the clock will start ticking. Race for the end to get the best time. But, beware! Some elements will change."

Tiny's warning
[Tiny's face appears in the vortex.]

Tiny: "Uka Uka and Cortex want Tiny get crystals, and bring them to big coliseum in Rome. Crash! Leave them for Tiny, or Crash get crushed!"

Tiny's challenge
Tiny: "Crash! Coco! Stole the pretty crystals! Tiny take them back, in gladiator arena!"

Tiny Tiger
[Cortex is shown dressed like an ancient Roman emperor, seated on a throne at the coliseum, waving to a cheering crowd. The camera pans forwards, showing Tiny between two marble pillars, with one arm chained to each. With a roar of exertion, he pulls on the left chain, shattering the pillar. He then does the same with the remaining pillar, freeing him. He points down into the arena at Crash, roaring, then reaches and snatches up a trident from behind him.]

Aku Aku's congratulations
Aku Aku: "Well done, children! By defeating Tiny, you have unlocked the gate to the next time travel area. Go back to the centre of this Time Twister, and save your progress if you wish. From there, you will see that the gate to the second time travel area is now open."

Cortex's plea
[Uka Uka, attached to Cortex's face, appears in the vortex.]

Uka Uka: "WHY?! WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO BE A THORN IN OUR SIDE?!"

[Uka Uka detaches himself from Cortex's face.]

Cortex: "Ooh-! What-?! Where was I?! ...Oh. Tiny was a good fellow. He hated everyone, and everything... but a good heart, none the less. Please be more reasonable with my minions next time."

Dingodile's warning
[Dingodile's face appears in the vortex.]

Dingodile: "G'day, mates! Dingodile's the name, and Uka Uka and Cortex gave me orders to bring the crystals to them during the ice ages. So, gimme the goods and shove off, or I'll roast yas!"

Dingodile's challenge
Dingodile: "Right! Now you've gone and done it! Them crystals are MINE!"

Dingodile
[A penguin is shown waddling through the snow in the ice ages. Dingodile snickers, pointing his flamethrower at the penguin. The penguin puts his flippers up, then covers its face. Dingodile turns around as the warp sound is heard, signifying Crash's arrival.]

Dingodile: "Break out the butter... I'm gonna make TOAST!"

Dingodile's defeat
[Dingodile is flat on his belly on the platform in the middle of his boss arena, too weak to stand.]

Dingodile: "Ya thrashed me, mate... no worries. But you'll soon be up against much worse...!"

N. Tropy's warning
[N. Tropy's face appears in the vortex.]

N. Tropy: "Well, haven't we gotten far for a pair of fuzzy marsupials? I am Doctor Nefarious Tropy, master of time and creator of the very Time Twister Machine you see before you. Uka Uka and Doctor Cortex have sent me to end this little charade, so you won't be leaving my area with the crystals, I swear it!"
