    Proceed to a pool of water with an eel; jump onto the platform, then slide and jump through the metal door into a tunnel.
  3. 3
    Break the two boxes, then be ready to jump over or kill the fast-approaching sweeper enemies.
  4. 4
    Pass the first barrel rolling up the tunnel when safe, then the second, and then two more positioned side-by-side.
  5. 5
    Past the barrels, you'll find a room with a hole; break all eight boxes before dropping down.

    Jump over the Nitro boxes before the tunnel entrance, then inside, kill the two spiked enemies.

  32. 32
    Jump on the spiked enemy behind the boxes to kill it, then hit the Green ! Box.
  33. 33
    Enter the next tunnel, pass the barrel when safe, and kill the two spiked enemies.

    Jump onto the floating platform in the pool of water with an eel, and when it moves close to the door on the other side, slide and jump to reach it.

Bonus Stage:

  • Jump across platforms to the right until you reach one with a large stack of boxes.
  • Spin into the normal boxes and body slam the reinforced ones.
  • Once all boxes are broken, jump onto the metal arrow box to be bounced over the Nitro box on the platform above.
  • Jump down to the right onto the metal arrow boxes and bounce to the right onto the metal boxes.
  • Walk across the TNT boxes to the right and jump up to break the two boxes above.
  • Quickly jump to the bounce boxes on the right, bounce between them, and as you break the last one, bounce onto the ? platform to the right to return to the level.

Secret Area:

  • Jump onto the blue grating and go forward.
  • Press O to make Crash bring his feet up when enemies are below the grating to avoid them.
  • Collect all extra lives, then go through the metal door.
  • Drop down onto the platforms below and walk forward to reach the secret warp room, opening level 27.
Tips
  • The eels in the water are a hazard; use platforms to navigate around them.
  • Sweeper enemies are fast; jumping over them is often safer than trying to kill them.
  • Be cautious of barrels rolling up tunnels; pass them only when safe.
  • TNT boxes will explode; break normal boxes first and move away from TNT.
  • Enemies moving up and down in pits can be avoided by jumping when they are in the pit.
  • In the secret area, enemies are below the blue grating; use Crash's jump to avoid them.
