Final Countdown

Final Countdown is the 20th level in Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure. It is also the final stage in the game. It is the last of the three professional science hut stages and it combines the elements from Warped's future stages and Cortex Strikes Back's science lab stages.

Getting the yellow gem

 * To be able to do this, the player must use the Double Jump and the Death Tornado abilities. Also note that this gem is one of the hardest gems to get, as it needs expert platforming skills.


 * After a checkpoint, you will see a green trampoline and a heap of nitro boxes. Instead of jumping to the right and passing it, jump to the left. You will come to a plate. Quickly jump to the metal crate on the left so you will not fall down. Then, you will see a metal arrow crate. Jump on it. While you are jumping, also make an extra jump by using your double jump ability, then go left and tornado spin. You will land on a metal platform. Jump to the metal arrow crate in the left to get the yellow gem, then land to the left.

Trivia

 * For some reason, enemies from the last two Naughty Dog platformer titles appear together as obstacles on this stage. These creatures have never previously been seen together, ending four years of speculation that the spiky enemies whose shells roll up, and the crab-like enemies who fold their arms in and out, are actually the same characters.
 * The title of the level is a reference to the 1980 movie of the same name, and the song by the band Europe.
