Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time: Part 83: A Hole In Space (N. Tropy Boss + All Bumpa Berries)
Last time Tawna was shown, she left the group on her own to try and take down the two N. Tropys, herself.
Despite her efforts, she was VERY CLEARLY outmatched by them, especially from her own female N. Tropy. Crash, Coco, Cortex, and Dingodile eventually reach them all at the Tropys' Rift Generator.
Tawna tried to do this, herself, because she didn't want to see Crash and Coco get killed again, after the female N. Tropy previously killed their own universe's Crash and Coco before Tawna's very eyes!
Rather than finishing off all of the heroes then and there, the Tropy Twins decided to challenge them to try and stop their Rift Generator from reshaping the multiverse and making them into gods!
----------
The N. Tropys knocked out and transported Crash and Coco into a different dimension. Then from a nearby rift, Akano woke up the bandicoots, and showed them the way back towards the Tropys.
The first part of this boss level is focus on grinding on a rift stream to make it back to those twins. You take a trip through memory lane as you grind through shattered visions of all of the previous dimensions you've ventured through by this point.
Also, you'll have to watch out for some Bumpa Berries, here. As you collect them, more old lines from multiple characters will echo in the winds.
ALL 4 Quantum Masks will contribute to this "final" battle in some way. Lani-Loli will use his phase-shifting powers to help you get some of the Bumpa Berries.
Get all 18 of them for a special (and very memetic) surprise!
----------
After the grinding section, you're back in space, and now need to approach the Rift Generator on foot.
First, you will use Akano's Dark Matter Spin to glide your way across platforms, but act fast, as the Tropy Twins will use their monitor to blast off the platforms you land on.
Next, you will carefully use Kupuna-Wa's time-slowing powers to trek across a swirl of fast-moving platforms. Try to not fall off!
----------
The last section of this boss has you right outside the Rift Generator, itself. The N. Tropys then activate their station's security lasers to stop you, while the male N. Tropy attempts to kill you with energy balls.
This when you get to use Ika-Ika's gravity-switching powers to dodge all of the attacks and hit the lasers at their black and yellow flashing weakspots. This gets him angry and makes him chase after you with an energy wall, while the female N. Tropy launches energy balls at you from the front, instead.
Take down more lasers, and they will eventually hurt the male N. Tropy. Both Tropys then switch places, and then you'll have to take down more lasers while avoiding more of their attacks.
Once you do this, they're done!
----------
Out of tricks, and now out of time, It's About Time that the N. Tropy duo get their just desserts. Crash shakes his butt at them over his latest victory, Coco and Tawna share a high five, while Cortex rubs it in his own N. Tropy's face with the almost the same words he used on him before... until Dingodile smacks the Tropys away with his tail.
The tail slapped the male and female N. Tropys into a dimensional rift, never to be seen again. Then, with the power of all 4 Quantum Masks, Lani-Loli, Akano, Kupuna-Wa, and Ika-Ika used the Rift Generator to seal up all of the loose rifts across different dimensions.
The multiverse was saved! Thanks to Crash, Coco, and their new unlikely friends! To celebrate their win, Kupuna-Wa suggests taking everyone to Neon City, in The Sn@xx Dimension, where the crew can eat the best food the universe has to offer! Everyone was pretty happy to do this after pulling off their history in the making!
Hmmmmm... While Kupuna-Wa was discussing this, though, Cortex was pondering something to himself. But what...?
----------
Before I continue on through the next dimension of levels, I'm just gonna go ahead and finish up all of the remaining N. Verted levels I have to clear up to this point, which means that I'm just gonna sweep through all of the Bermugula's Orbit levels one more time.
Stay tuned!
