Arctic Antics

Arctic Antics is the first level in the game Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. It takes place in an icy village in the South Pole, filled with penguins and skiers. There are also mammoths that are located near the end of the level which, if hit, give the player an extra life. The Blue Gem can be obtained in the Death Route. However, if Crash loses a life, he cannot go into the Death Route to get it.

Trivia

 * Once the player has the Fruit Bazooka, they can shoot the mammoths at the sides and get extra lives. However, it is also possible to jump on certain mammoths, though it is risky as they are standing in icy water, which will cost the player a life if they fall in.
 * This level, along with Turtle Woods (from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back), is the first level of a game to have a colored gem, and that colored gem being the blue gem.
 * This is one of the most detailed levels in the game.
 * This is the first level in the game to have a death route.
