Temple Ruins

''Hope you aren't afraid by dark temples! The whole level is a giant death trap, don't fall and go to Road to Nowhere''. -Level descriptionthumb|500px|right

Temple Ruins is a level in the first Crash Bandicoot. This place is dark, with many tricky death traps, as well as snakes, spiders and bats trying to stop Crash Bandicoot in this level. Surprisingly, this is one of the levels that does not have Tawna's bonus round.

Trivia

 * In addition to referring to the fact that this level takes place in the ruins of a temple, this level's title is a sly reference to the odd puzzle featured in this level - a hidden crate bridge, necessary for the Gem, that Crash can only discover by blindly walking off the main pathway - which has, no doubt, inflicted endless pain on many fans' anatomical temples, perhaps even ruining them, because it gives everyone migraines. Some fans have theorized that this is also the reason that whatever society lived here in the distant past has died off completely, leaving this place in ruins.
