Totally Bear

Totally Bear is the twenty-sixth level in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. The first of two original secret levels in the game, it is unlocked by finding the secret warp out of Un-Bearable. This level forces Crash to once again ride his underage bear acquaintance, Polar, a la Bear It and Bear Down, but this time, it is dark outside, so Crashie and Polar cannot see very far at all, making things difficult! Also making things difficult is the fact that this is a difficult stage.

Trivia

 * This level's name is homonymous with the phrase "totally bare", referring to someone who is wearing no clothes, or "naked". This level is likely named this because Polar is naked all the time, because he suffers from a mental disorder known as "exhibitionism", listed by the DSM-IV as a paraphilia wherein the need to expose oneself to others interferes with their ability to function normally. Clearly Polar suffers from this disorder, as he does not wear clothes at any point in this game, disgustingly enough. (It is interesting to note that he wears clothes in Crash Boom Bang!, implying that Polar was eventually finally able to overcome this crippling disorder with help from his ursichologist.)
 * Alternately, it could be a sly pun on Mattel's popular and famous Totally Hair Barbie, which sold extremely well in the years prior to this game's release. Like the doll, real men simply cannot stand Polar.
 * For some reason, this level is pitch black, and yet Crash doesn't need fireflies to see, unlike in Night Fight and Totally Fly. This could imply that, somehow, Polar himself is glowing, likely because of his one-eighth lanternfish heritage.
