Piston It Away

Piston it Away is the twenty-first level in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It was a futuristic level with mechanical pistons and electric cables.

It is regarded as one of the hardest levels to get the all boxes Gem on as it requires a serious amount of back tracking through obstacles and the conservation of one enemy to use as a jump platform to reach the Skull/Death Route entrance where the rest of the boxes are.

Trivia
The level's name is an extremely obvious pun of a slightly inappropriate phrase "pissing it all away," which could mean that someone is wasting something for no good reason. Many fans speculate that Naughty Dog put this level in over many better levels, thus Pissin' Away.
