Native Fortress

You've arrived at the last level of the island, but to go to the second, you must climb the Native Fortress '' -Level description

Native Fortress is the final level of the first out of three islands in the original Crash Bandicoot, as well as the second and last stage set in Papu Papu's village.

This acts as the way out of Papu Papu's stronghold and is considerably harder than the previous "native" level.

Secret area
Accessed only after the achievement of the red gem in Slippery Climb, the secret area of this level contains the missing crates required in order to get the white gem of this stage. Said area is notable for its structure, as it's only made of a few, thin clouds, as well as for being the best way to see this environment's beautiful background: a view of the other two islands, seen at sunset.
