Crash: Mind Over Mutant
Crunch is fought in the junkyard and has 9 hitpoints. He will be under control of the NV and Crash will have TK. He will be controlling five missile shooting robots, so you need to lift TNT off of a conveyerbelt and throw them at the robots when the front is open, throw the TNT at four more robots then two mechanical arms come out of the wall and walls infront of Crunch in various spots. He will be running behind them and coming out to throw bombs, so you need to use TK to throw him at two grinders, making him lose a hitpoint, so you need to now do this three more times. Then Crunch is jackable and Doom Monkeys will be flying at you, so now you need to use Crunch's missiles to hit N. Brio who is running around in a glass room, once he is hit, you win.thumb|300px|right
