* HundredPercentCompletion: Getting Crystals and Gems and beating bosses contribute to the completion. This time, though, it can go to [[Over100PercentCompletion 105%]] if you manage to find 2 super secret levels and get the Gems and Relics from there, as well as the extra Gem from Coco after you get all the Gems including from those levels. At least 100% unlocks the true ending. Also a minor one in the Time Trials, where breaking all the time crates will subtract more seconds from your time in the end. This is often necessary for the Platinum Relics.

* BonusStage: Like in the second game, Crash can find '?' platforms which take him to bonus stages. These are quite forgiving; there are no enemies, no lives are taken if you die, and whether you fall or are blown up, the player is plonked right next to the platform to start again. A few 'Death Route' platforms exist, which are [[BrutalBonusLevel considerably harder.]] Not only do you have to get past the level up to that point without dying, but the stages themselves are tougher, can feature enemies, and generally play out like extreme versions of the regular levels. Hidden Gem stages also exist, which appear only when Crash has found the relevant Colored Gem. They vary in their difficulty, but otherwise are much like Death Routes.

** [[TheDragon Dr. N. Tropy]], despite not being the main villain, is played far more seriously than Cortex and the other {{Mad Scientist}}s. His inventions are the catalyst for the entire plot and, despite his hamminess, his battle against Crash is presented as a very high-stakes moment as he tries to conquer time itself.

* KnightOfCerebus: [[BigBad Uka Uka]], who is presented as far more powerful and intimidating than Cortex and is revealed to be [[GreaterScopeVillain the mastermind behind the previous games]]. His design, EvilLaugh, and Aku Aku's foreboding descriptions of him all signal towards him being Crash's most dire enemy yet.
-->'''Aku Aku:''' Beware of Uka Uka my children; he is a far more dangerous enemy than anyone can imagine.

* NonLethalBottomlessPit: In the motorcycle levels, falling into the pits (or that colossal abyss at the end of one track) doesn't cost a life, but they will more than likely hinder your chances of winning the race.

** Subverted for Cortex and Uka Uka; when they have seemingly failed, Cortex laughs and apologises calmly for not throwing the necessary tantrum, but, as Uka Uka points out, [[spoiler:now they can just swipe all of your Crystals from ''you'']]. Play straight in the 105% ending however, [[spoiler:when both of them are send into the Prison of Time which Ikan Ikan screams in terror]].
