The world's original Bandicoot - CRASH - is about to step into the realm of the
supernatural! An old miser named Mr. Crumb has died in his mansion surrounded
by his fortune and nothing else. Friendless in life, his estate is rumored to be full of
ghosts, restlessly wandering the mansion grounds, causing trouble to any who dare
come there.
Some say Crumb made an evil deal on his deathbed to awake the ghosts to guard
his aold He was so selfish that at the last, his unholy spirit would remain on earth
and keep the hoard safe forever. It is said the undead have risen from their graves
and walk the night. Zombies break from their ancient underground crypts and search
for souls Spirits of the forest make the woods impassable. And the ghost of Mr.
Crumb himself walks the dusty halls of his mansion hideaway.
Rumors and tales of horror aside, the lure of forbidden treasure is too muchi for■ C rash
to resist It is time to laGe up the sneakers, pull up the shorts, and find that gold. A
quiet little treasure hunt is always a nice break from the rigors of saving the world.

OBJECT: Crash is searching for the hidden treasure located somewhere on the
mansion grounds. The mansion grounds are divided into 4 areas: Haunted Forest,
Graveyard, Catacombs, and Condemned Mansion. Each area has 3 paths. At the
end of each path, Crash will find an item that will open a path in another area. Crash
must proceed from path to path, finding items and opening new paths until he runs
out of lives or finds the gold.

Once a game starts you will see the view of the Mansion
Grounds. You will see Crash and 4 different pathways leading
to the Haunted Forest, Graveyard, Condemned Mansion, and
the Catacombs. Use the left and right directional keys to select
a path to one of these areas. Press A to see the entrance.
From the entrance, press the UP directional key to attempt
to enter or the DOWN directional key to go back to the Mansion
Grounds.
You will notice there are some paths that you cannot enter because you do not have
the correct item to gain access. When you attempt to enter a path that you do not
have the correct item for, the picture of the necessary item will be shown and you
will return to the Mansion Grounds view. You can now choose another path.
If you have the item that opens the path you have chosen, you will be allowed to
enter. You will see the entrance open up and then Crash will appear at the beginning
—of tho-patf*. Now you must find your way oafoly to the end of tho path,-

Use the left and right directional keys to move Crash left and
right. Enemies will appear moving toward Crash. You must
either dodge the enemies, use Crash's jump smash to jump
on top of them, or use his spin dash to send them flying away!
Each time Crash is touched by an enemy, he loses 1 life.
When you lose all lives the game is over. Crash begins with
3 lives.
Boxes will also appear along the pathway. Use either the jump smash or spin dash
