User:Thaswordster/Diggin' It

Diggin' It is the seventeenth level and the second level in the fourth warp room in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. Crash finds himself in a snowy environment similar to the snowball chase levels, but it's not snowballs that are in the level - it's snow-dwelling bees. Bees will go down to a simple spin or slide attack, but they come in packs like in Bee-Having, so they can be a bit dangerous. Crash should be far more careful of the unbeatable sentient statues, mallet-wielding lumberjack lab assistants, and red spitter plants, which spit grenade-like seeds and will only fall to a belly flop while covered or a spin from underground. Crash can dig into the patches of magenta soil throughout the latter half of the level.

Most of the puzzles include lanes and walls of Nitro crates, spitting plants blocking the path, and locked crates near more spitting plants.

Death Route characteristics
(NOTE: The death route is not fully completed, this may change.)

The death route is far more dangerous than the normal path, as it includes constant swarms of bees, and many spitting plants that aren't afraid of Crash (meaning they can only be killed by using explosions, sacrificing a mask or by using a mine). The gem is located at the end, right before 2 spitting plants guarding a path (with TNT and Nitro crates near them).
