Initially, only one part is open, but after defeating the boss, the next one opens, etc. The main goal at each level is to find a crystal, which is necessary for the further progress of the game, and it, in turn, can be called completed only after all are found. 20 crystals.
In addition to crystals, you can find gems or multi-colored gems. The former can be obtained if all the boxes are broken at the level, while the latter are hidden in hidden levels. There are also relics, the method of obtaining them is similar to that in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
