Hot Coco

Hot Coco is the thirty-first level in the game Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. It is a secret level in the game, accessed by hitting an alien sign in level 14, which is called Road Crash.

This level is similar to the levels Makin' Waves, Tell No Tales, and Ski Crazed. It is at sunset and the level itself appears to be one big circle as Coco starts right at the exit, but it's surrounded by nitro crates. The only way to complete the level is to find the nitro switch crate and head back to the start. Coco can collect only a gem and relic from this stage. The trick for getting the relic is to remember where the nitro switch crate is and to head straight there after hitting the stopwatch. The player may need to repeat the level a few times (if necessary) to remember it.

Trivia

 * The level's name is a pun on the drink Hot Cocoa.
 * In Crash Nitro Kart, one of Coco's racing quotes is "Hot Coco with love!", which may be a reference to this level, and another quote is just "Hot Coco!"
 * In the NTSC version, the relic times in this level are the same as those of Road Crash, the level that warps Crash to this level. This is probably from a glitch where the game doesn't change the relic targets upon warping from Road Crash. As a result, the platinum relic in the NTSC version is extremely easy as the required time is much slower than the time required to get a sapphire relic in the PAL version.
 * Aku Aku is banned from this level.
 * Using the extra items cheat, it is possible to enter this level via the secret warp room, instead of through Road Crash. To do this, the player must acquire 31 crystals and then a button for this level will be in the secret warp room.
