In today's episode of the "Crash 4" playthrough, we complete the longest level in the game which has us play as both Tawna and Dingodile, as well as a Cortex level that ends with one of the hardest platforming sections in the game.

Remember in the description of the last episode when I mentioned that all of the levels on this restaurant planet each had their own set of challenges that made them some of the toughest in the game? Well, here's what I have to say about them:
Regarding the second level, what makes it challenging isn't its difficulty (I personally find the first and third to be much harder), but rather that its so long. With how long the Dingodile and Tawna sections are, I personally feel it would have been better if they were split up into two levels, one for each character. Sure, that would have made it where this hub has four levels instead of the typical three that are present in most of the other hubs, but if N. Sanity Island can get away with having only two, then I feel that this one could have four.
As for the third level, while it's not as long as the one before it, it compensates for its short length by throwing one of the hardest platforming sections in the game your way. Essentially, as Crash, you're in the air trying to reach Cortex's airship by using the cargo falling out of it as platforms. However, since the game wants to simulate a high-speed chase, the narrow platforms are moving back so quickly that you can only really move by jumping. And to make matters worse, if you're platforming too slowly in an effort not to jump to your doom, then you run the risk of running out of platforms and being unable to reach the end.
