How to access the new DLC levels?

Question

Two new levels, Future Tense (brand new) and Stormy Ascent (reworked cut content from the original Crash Bandicoot) have been added to Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. I don't necessarily want to play the remaster to completion because of the less accurate character hitbox and shorter jump duration can turn already quite difficult games to downright punishing.

Can the new levels be entered instantly?

Answer 1

To access Story Accent in Crash Bandicoot: You stand on the purple dot and press "select" to start the level, as with any other level. You can do this at any point in the game.

To access Future Tense in Crash Bandicoot 3: move to the lit platform between the bridges
