Tomb Time

Tomb Time is the ninth level and is the fourth level of the second warp room in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. Crash is warped back to Ancient Egypt in this level. This level introduces players to common elements in the Egyptian levels such as slippery floors and switches that open doors.

There is a secret path that is normally accessed with the purple gem. It allows the player to get all boxes in the level and contains a secret clear gem. However, the path can be accessed without the purple gem by long-jumping left from the middle of the stretch before the stairs to the end of the level, and then long-jumping across the platforms. An extra life trick can be performed here by entering time trial and breaking the crates at the start of the level. After this the player should kill Crash and then go back into Time Trial and break the crates again. Since no lives are lost in Time Trial mode this can be done unlimited times.

Trivia

 * Two extra lives can be found on each side of the Cortex/Sphinx head at the start of the level using the Bazooka.
 * A few ! crates in this level activate moving platforms.  This is the only level in this game that contains ! crates that do something other than fill in outline crates, which were also found in a few levels in Crash 1, most notably The Lab.
