Bonus Levels, or Bonus Bonanzas, are levels that involve some sort of special activity.
History[]
In the first game, they appeared as bonus rounds that are accessed through portals. In the bonus round, Gex has a short amount of time to complete a task. If he does it perfectly, Gex will get a piece of the Planet X remote. Once Gex completes all the bonus levels he can go to Planet X.
In Gex: Enter The Gecko, Gex had to collect a certain amount of items (which were often unique to the theming of the level itself) in time in the bonus levels. Gex gets a Gold Remote when he beats a bonus level, again if he can collect it before time runs out. The bonus levels in this game were unlocked through collecting Silver Remotes, each unlocked at three a piece.
In Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, the bonus levels had Gex doing things such as ringing bells or destroying Rez tanks in a limited amount of time. In this version, stopwatches can be collected to restore some time. When a bonus level was completed Gex would get a secret code to use in the Gex Vault. The bonus levels here could be unlocked by collecting Bonus Coins.
