You can play as Coco at anytime while playing Crash 3, here, but she can't go through ALL of Crash's levels, such as ones involving scuba diving or riding a motorcycle. Likewise, Crash is still barred from going into any of his sister's exclusive levels, like what this video is covering.
Coco can run as good as she can in The Wrath of Cortex, but I intentionally still make her walk up to Pura just like the good ol' days. Ironically, making Coco walk here is slower than her full walk in the original Crash 3. I do this again at the end of the level towards the portal.
Pura's charge is actually EVEN MORE POWERFUL in N-Sane Trilogy. It feels like he goes even faster than he does in the original version. That should make it even easier to get this level's Platinum Relic.
Sadly, it feels much harder to knock down those hanging baskets that give you Wumpa Fruit.
Last but not least, for Coco's death animation for falling off of Pura, she originally got dizzy and passed out, hitting her head flat on the concrete. Instead, she still gets a bit dizzy, but that quickly gets cured when Pura falls on her lap and licks her face like a cute little kitty. D'AAAAWWWWW!
