Boulders

Boulders is the fourth level of the original Crash Bandicoot. Crash must survive the run before the giant boulder or it will kill him. There is also another kind of this level called Boulder Dash on the second island. = Legacy= It is also the very first "escape" level in the series altogether, introducing the player into the urge to safely escape from a dangerous hazard. This concept will be later re used in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back with giant snowballs and giant polar bears instead of enormous boulders, with a Triceratops in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. Non-Naughty Dog examples include avalanches and tsunamis in the eponymous stages seen in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, as well as a giant polar bear, bipedal this time, in Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure.
