{{tropelist}}
* [[100% Completion]]: This unlocks the true ending.▼
* [[1-Up]]: Like before, the game's pretty generous on lives. After all, you may need ''every single one'' of them.▼
* [[Action Girl]]: Coco joins Crash in the gameplay for the first time. In practice, this means she tackles most of the [[Unexpected Genre Change]] levels, but still, riding a tiger, a jetski, a space fighter, and a ''[[World War I]] plane'' is a definite step-up from being a simple computer hacker genius from the last game. See also [[Took a Level in Badass]].
* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: The [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs|triceratops]] in Dino Might. Yes, a ''triceratops''.
Line 30 ⟶ 32:
* [[Brick Joke]]: N. Tropy's defeat leads to concerns over whether the Time Twister will start acting erratically. {{spoiler|At the very end of the game, the machine gets engulfed in a super-sized warp ball and does indeed fall apart. Possibly an inverted [[Chekhov's Gunman]].}}
* [[Cat and Mouse Boss]]: Tiny Tiger begins the battle by chasing after Crash, trying to crush him with his leaping.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: In a sense, N.Tropy. By defeating him, Crash receives an urgent message from Uka Uka and Cortex berating him for incapacitating the only person able to maintain the Time Twister. {{spoiler|After the final boss battle on [[One Hundred Percent Completion]], the Time Twister goes haywire. In Aku Aku's own words: "The Time Twister machine could not hold itself together.}} Might count as a [[Brick Joke]] or as a bit of [[Take Your Time]].▼
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Time Twister machine {{spoiler|which Cortex falls into at the end of his boss fight}} will become useful later.▼
* [[Check Point]]: If Crash opens a crate marked with a 'C', it becomes the new checkpoint in case he dies.
▲* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Time Twister machine {{spoiler|which Cortex falls into at the end of his boss fight}} will become useful later.

* [[Child Prodigy]] / [[Teen Genius]]: Coco Bandicoot, [[Friend to All Living Things|Friend To All Ancient Chinese Tigers]], jet-ski extraordinaire and, like Crash, an ace World War pilot.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Ripper Roo finally vanishes, along with the Komodo Brothers and Nitrus Brio. Averted with Tiny.
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Tiny Tiger is relegated to first boss, like Ripper Roo before him. Now he can also be hurt by Crash's spin and jump attacks, which were useless against him in the previous one. [[Armor Is Useless]], indeed.
* [[Demoted to Dragon]]: Dr. Neo Cortex. See [[The Dragon]].
* [[Down the Drain]]: For some reason Crash still has [[Super Drowning Skills]] in the Tomb Wader level. Here, the entire level was set in an Egyptian tomb, the passageways of which rose and fell at various points. In the lower sections, the floor is flooded, but fluctuates between being knee deep for a few seconds to being raised up several feet for another few seconds, and then back again. Part of the challenge was to find higher ground, such as a cube of steel blocks or a floating platform, to stand upon and wait for the water level to drop to a manageable level.▼
* [[Double Jump]]: One of the perks of Crash 3 is the upgrade feature. By defeating each boss the first time, Crash Bandicoot earns a new move which either enhances his existing abilities or gives him completely new ones. In the case of the [[Double Jump]], Crash earns this by defeating Dingodile for the first time. Combined with the slide and Super Spin, Crash can go almost anywhere.

* [[The Dragon]]: Cortex suffers a bit of [[Villain Decay]] due to being bumped down to this by Uka Uka, but he still qualifies as the [[Final Boss]], so it doesn't translate directly into [[Badass Decay]]. N. Tropy and N. Gin are both [[Co-Dragons]] to him in turn.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Tiny has improved slightly from the previous game - not only can he speak, and speak eloquently enough to warn Crash (albeit in [[Hulk Speak]]), but his tactics are no longer restricted to just leaping after Crash; instead, he tries to spear him on the end of his trident, and when that fails, he releases hoards of lions on you. Even when he [[Tactical Suicide Boss|falls]] for the [[Puzzle Boss|same trick three times]], he gets notably faster in pulling out his trident as the battle progresses.
Line 85 ⟶ 87:
* [[Hub Level]]: A modification of the old Warp Room system - instead of six isolated warp chambers, five of which could only be accessed by a platform in the middle of each room, this one is a single large Warp Room called the Time Twister, with five chambers arranged around a central spoke within a roughly 180 degree arc. The central hub has a load/save screen and five gates which lead to a Time Travel area. In each Time Travel area, there are five levels (plus a boss level once it's been unlocked), and defeating one area's boss will unlock the next area. Also, there is a platform which appears at the center of the hub which takes Crash to a secret Warp Room. However, the platform needs to be unlocked before it can be accessed.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: N.Gin pilots ''two'' of these for the penultimate boss battle. This time, [[Rock Beats Laser]] just isn't going to cut it.
▲* [[100% Completion]]: This unlocks the true ending.
* [[Idle Animation]]: Leave Crash for a while and he plays with his yo-yo or does the Crash Dance.
* [[Indy Escape]]: Crash's response to being chased by the [[Advancing Wall of Doom|triceratops]].
Line 101 ⟶ 102:
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]: N. Tropy is the third in the trio of Doctors.
* [[Morton's Fork]]: {{spoiler|"And in fact, we're furious! But, it seems you have overlooked one small detail, you little orange delivery-boy! Now that you have gathered all the crystals, all we have to do... is take them from you!" Crash just can't win, can he?}}
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Even despite it doesn't have secrets as [[Guide Dang It]] headdesky as ''2'', it's still pretty hard to get [[100% Completion|100% completion]] here, not even talking about extra 105%, thanks to multiple the time trials. Yes, you can get a hold of the Fruit Bazooka and much more faster running. And yes, you can restart the time trial as much as you want. But that won't really make the amount of hours spent on getting all the gold relics less ludicrous.▼
* [[No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom]]: Since the gameplay was lifted from ''Crash 2'', this is hardly a surprise. Even the special levels feature this in some capacity.
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: Tiny Tiger's boss fight and N. Gin's mecha battle are thematically reminiscent of their boss battles from the previous game, just cranked [[Up to Eleven]] now.

But that won't really make the amount of hours spent on getting all the gold relics less ludicrous.
* [[One-Man Army|One Bandicoot Army]]: Seriously, think a moment about how many more [[Mook|Mooks]] Crash beats up in this game.
▲* [[1-Up]]: Like before, the game's pretty generous on lives. After all, you may need ''every single one'' of them.
* [[Pass Through the Rings]]: The level Rings of Power level involves Crash flying his bi-plane through them in a race against three other planes. [[Spin Attack]] the rings to get a speed boost, but watch out for the Nitro crates on the balloons. The name of the level is actually a [[Shout-Out]] to a previous Naughty Dog title.
* [[Plot Coupon]]: The game almost entirely revolves around collecting crystals and gems ''and'' relics.
