- No Bandicoot is an island: to get this trophy you will need to find the secret exit in the Bear Down level. Once you complete the level and collect the gem, don't go out but go back.

To do so, after breaking the last checkpoint of the level, you'll have to use your belly to kill the plant spitting bullets on the top left platform.

Tip: Use the circle button to crumple up and dodge enemies buzzing under Crash.

When you get these 10 relics, go to the center of the teleport zone, where Coco and the giant monitor are. Stand on the platform in the middle and enter the secret room, go to level 27. This secret exit will allow you to collect the yellow gem in the Hang Em High level. At this point, enter level 11 Dino Might!. About one minute after the beginning of the level, just before the dinosaur egg, you can find the path of the yellow gem. The secret exit is located in the yellow gem area. Keep playing until a big dinosaur comes after you. At the beginning of the escape there will be two pterodactyls (flying dinosaurs) sitting on tree trunks. Jump on the second to activate the secret exit and be catapulted into the secret Eggipus Rex level, where you'll find an extra gem and relic. - Crash under silence: die. To get this Hidden Trophy, in level 16 Sphynxinator you only hit one of the sarcophagus enemies once. Once done you will free a mummy. Let the mummy kill you to die and get this trophy.
