This is the last normal level of the game, as it has the game's final Crystal. The level itself has a pretty unique presentation for itself. It's also the only level that has you play as Crash on foot that doesn't have a Bonus in it.

However, it does have a Green Gem Platform. I spent a few lives from that because, as it's explained at 3:05, I just barely missed the landing with the Death Tornado Spin Glide, or I died a few times during the Gem Path, itself. Either way, like usual, I get its extra Gem at the end, kill myself to get back to the main path, then go from there to get the other Gem and the last Crystal.

This Gem path has an extended path of stable Nitro Crates for you to Tip Toe over. The trick is to never jump and never stop moving during that entire course, but if you're in a hurry, you could probably just Death Tornado Spin Glide over the whole thing, too.

Near the Crystal itself, you'll encounter a stack of 3 Aku Aku crates, just like in the 25th level of Crash Bandicoot: Warped! Take advantage of that and plow through all of the enemies and Nitro crates standing in your way!

Now that Crash, Coco, and Aku Aku got all 25 Crystals for the third time, it was time for Crash to confront the Triple Trouble of Cortex, Uka Uka, and the fully-powered Crunch!
