Alternate ending sequence
 
 Collect all 46 gems to view an alternate ending sequence.
 
 
 Defeating Crunch Time
 
 Every time freezeballs, beams, or fire comes out, jump over the 
 fence into the inside platform. They cannot touch you there, but 
 fireballs will land everywhere -- just watch for their shadows. 
 There is a series of elements you have to avoid. Then shoot Crunch 
 with the bazooka and spin Cortex. The series is: fireballs, shoot 
 Crunch, spin Cortex, freezeballs, fireballs, shoot Crunch, spin 
 Cortex, fire, fireballs, freezeballs, fire, shoot Crunch, spin Cortex, 
 beams, fireballs, fire, beams, freezballs, fireballs, beams, shoot 
 Crunch, spin Cortex. If you win, you will unlock five secret levels 
 for which you must collect a certain amount of relics in order to 
 open the doors.
 
 
 
 Defeating Lo-Lo
 
 Watch where the mask floats and shoot there.
 
 
 Defeating Py-Ro
 
 Hold B to charge the water cannon or you will never hit.
 
 
 Defeating: Ro-Ko
 
 Roll around the side of the area without going in the center. Every 
 rock will come near you, and Crunch will mostly miss you.
 
 
 
 
 Defeating Wa Wa
 
 When you are facing Wa Wa, crunch will shoot things at you. He will 
 fire blue beams that you should jump over. When he fires green things, 
 duck. Hop from one panel to another. When you reach Crunch quickly 
 spin. Watch out -- the panels will sink. Try to get a head start 
 on each run. Once Crunch jumps back at the beginning, run. When 
 you spin him the next two times, do not stop running.
