Croc 2 Max% Items/Route Overview

Croc 2 Max% Guide
Max% is get 100%, 100/100 crystals in every level, obtain every item and complete all the hub world minigames. It is very similar to 100%, just it requires more detours and stopping to break boxes. The items required are very similar, but a few extra are required. Due to the low amount of crystals at the start, the ordering of Sailor village is different. This guide just covers the items and route, not the locations of crystals.

Required Items
Sailor
cage: 1 blue, 1 clock
mine: 1 blue, 1 clock
Spring: 1 green, 1 clock

waterfall: 1 blue, 1 clock

Prices
HeartPots: 250 
Blue: 40
Green: 60
Purple: 80
Clock: 50

Minimum Totals
blue: 10, =400 Crystals
green: 3, =80 Crystals
purple: 1, =80 Crystals
clock: 12, =600 Crystals
heartpot: 2, =500 Crystals
= Minimum 1760 Crystals

The following is my compact notes that i read off while in a run. Shows each level in order with the number of crystals expected after that level is complete beside it. If you purchased extra safety items, yours will be lower. The ----- is where you would warp to the next world. A potentially faster route would be to not get the heart pot in the tree and theif level, instead buy them when you buy the 2 at the end. This would save a bit of time but would mean you play through the game with less lives which would be harder and could maybe end up being slower.

PC 100% Overworld Routing and Shop guide

One of the challenging aspects of getting into 100% runs is working out questions like:

How many crystals do I need to collect?
When should I visit the shop?
Which items do I need for which level?
Is there an order I should do the levels in?

This is the outline I worked out in an attempt to answer the above questions. Feedback is more than welcome - I'd love to know if the route can be improved! The route attempts to minimise overworld travel and shop visits.

I haven't added in any notes for specific routing and tips within levels. Hope this helps someone get started in 100% :)

1. Sailor Village

--> Cut through the village using the river

1.1 Boat Race
Items needed = none
Crystals gained = 100
Crystals balance at end of level = 100

1.2 Springs Kid / Sandwich
Items needed = none
Crystals gained = MINIMUM 10 (easily done, no crates required)
Crystals balance at end of level = 110

1.3 "Simon Says" game
Gives you an extra Heart Pot at a time cost of ~10-15 seconds. Probably worth it? At the very least, it will give you an extra heart going into Roger Red Ant (World 2) and Firefighter (World 3).

1.4 Trampoline Kid
Crystals Gained = 100
Crystal Balance = 210

1.5 SHOP #1
Purchase 1x Robo, 4x Blue Gummi = 210 Crystals total
Crystal Balance = 0

1.6 Mines
Items needed = 1x Blue Gummi
Crystals Gained = at least 50 (the treasure chests give you 10 crystals each)

1.7 Rescue Gobbo from a Cage
Items needed = 1x Blue Gummi

--> Cut back through the village using the river

1.8 Thief
Items needed = 2x Blue Gummi, 1x Robo (note - you can use a Blue Gummi on the Green Gummi pad in this level, it does the job)

1.9 Soveena the Squid (miniboss)
Crystals Gained = 50

1.10 Cannon Boat Keith (boss)

1.11 Sailor Jigsaw Piece

Minimum Crystal Balance at end of Sailor Village = 220 (I haven't counted this exactly, but from levels 1.6 to 1.11 I find collecting crystals along the normal path easily meets this target without the need for breaking crates or going too far out of your way).



2. Cossack Village

2.1 SHOP #2
Purchase 2x Robo, 1x Blue Gummi, 1x Purple Gummi = 220 crystals (if you have any left over, you can buy extra Robos as a safety net - only a one or two second loss for a big insurance policy!)

2.2 Ice Block / Ice Cliffs
Items needed = 1x Robo, 1x Purple Gummi

2.3 Roger Red Ant
Items needed = 1x Robo

2.4 Train
Items needed = 1x Blue Gummi

2.5 Flavio (miniboss)
Crystals Gained = 100

2.6 Snowball
Items needed = none

2.7 Hangglider
Items needed = none
Crystals Gained = 100

2.8 Lava Lamp Larry's (boss)
Crystals Gained = 100

2.9 Cossack Jigsaw Piece

Minimum Crystal Balance = 430 at end of level 2.9 (meaning you'll need to pick up 130 crystals between levels 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.9. Another option is picking up extra crystals in Sailor Village. All of 1.6-1.11 (except for Soveena) give easy crystals).



3. Caveman Village

3.1 SHOP #3
Purchase 5x Robo, 3x Blue Gummi, 1x Green Gummi = 430 crystals

3.2 Wheels #1 (the outside one)
Items needed = 1x Blue Gummi

3.3 Wheels #2 (the one in the mine)
Items needed = 1x Robo, 1x Green Gummi

3.4 Car Race

3.5 Firefighter
Items needed = 1x Robo, 1x Blue Gummi

3.6 Mammoth
Items needed = 1x Robo

3.7 Caveman Jigsaw Piece

3.8 Venus Fly Trap (miniboss)

3.9 Dino (boss)



4. Inca Village

4.1 Save the Babies
