Road to Nowhere is the twelfth level in Crash Bandicoot. It involves Crash running along several very old collapsing bridges, with several planks that fall when he walks on them casting him into the spike filled abyss below.crash will slide on silver planks sometimes causing him to fall off. Enemies include hogs and turtles. The Red Gem is needed to fully clear this level. Road to Nowhere and other levels like it (The High Road) are known for their extreme difficulty.

Trivia

 * Three popular and famous songs with the name "Road to Nowhere" have been released. One was performed by British singer Ozzy Osbourne, the second by Canadian singer Lucie Idlout, and the other by Welsh band Bullet For My Valentine. This level's title is most likely a reference to the Ozzy Osbourne song, seeing as this game was released in 1996, and time travel was not introduced in the series until 1998's Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
 * Near the beginning of this stage is a sign reading "Danger", presumably to warn of the dangerous state of the bridge ahead. It is never explained in-game, however, why the ancient civilization who inhabited the now-abandoned second island would speak, or at least write, English, as opposed to some sort of tribal language. However, since Crash Bandicoot himself is illiterate and probably can't read the sign anyway, most fans overlook this extremely rare plot hole.
 * Curiously, Crash is attacked by the hog in this stage, despite the fact that the two are allies in the levels Hog Wild and Whole Hog. It is possible, however, that more than one hog exists in Crash's universe. Proving further evidence for this theory is the fact that the hog in this stage is able to magically run over gaps without falling, something that the hog in the hog riding stages is sadly unable to do.
