Technically, Crash 3 would take place almost instantaneously after Crash 2. In the 100% ending of Crash 2, we can see that the Cortex Vortex space station gets blown up and falls towards the Earth. In Crash 3, Uka Uka’s underground prison gets blown up and opened by the very same Cortex Vortex space station. (Basically confirming that the 100% ending of Crash 2 is cannon). In the last seconds of the cutscene we can see bits of the space station falling to Earth immediately, (even more so in the N.Sane trilogy), that means that Crash 3 would take place straight after Crash 2.

Further proof of this, is when we see Uka Uka leave the temple (straight after the prison is opened), Uka Uka flies over Crash, Coco, and Aku Aku, who which then go inside Crash’s house and Aku Aku gives them a “lecture” about Uka Uka. We can then also see Uka Uka talking to Cortex in the Time Twister machine straight after Crash, Coco and Aku Aku go inside the house.

After that, Aku Aku teleports them to the Time Twister and the game starts from there. But “How can Aku Aku And Uka Uka teleport themselves and others to different places?”, I hear you ask. In Crash Twinsanity it is revealed that Uka Uka And Aku Aku can teleport between dimensions, as they travel to the tenth dimension to try and take down the Evil Twins, but to no avail. In Crash of The Titans, Aku Aku has the ability to teleport to himself and Crash to as far as they can get to the Doominator. Meaning that the Aku Uka brothers can, infact, teleport.

So, in conclusion, we can in fact know that the opening of Crash 3 takes place immediately after the 100% ending of Crash 2, the only thing we don’t know however, is how long it has taken Aku Aku to find the location of the Time Twister. Meaning that we do know how long after Crash 2 Crash 3 begins, but not how long after the opening the gameplay officiate begins which, I imagine, wouldn’t be that long after the cutscene.

I rest my case. *Mic Drop*
