Hang'em High

Hang'em High is the seventh level in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. (An alternate entrance to the level is alternately designated as the twenty-seventh level in-game.) It is a stage taking place on the rooftops of an old-timey Saudi Arabian city, reminiscent of the Arabian Nights. Its landscape is strewn with floating magic carpets, bouncy awnings, and overhead grating that Crash can climb around on as if this were some sort of sewer. It would be a relative challenge for this early in the game even without Cortex's league of minions. Enemy units deployed to the Middle East include pot-carrying monkeys, ceiling-hanging scorpions, Lab Assistants on flying carpets or patrolling the rooftops and attacking aggressively with a scimitar.

After collecting a total of ten relics, Crash can access this level's alternate entrance, Level 27, via the secret sixth Warp Room. Consisting primarily of a series of tricky jumps involving magic carpets, awnings, and nitro crates, this route conceals the yellow gem. It will then drop Crash off near the end of the main level path.

Trivia

 * Hang'em High may be a reference to the 1968 Western film of the same name, starring Clint Eastwood.
 * It's possible to get a Platinum Relic on this level without the Crash Dash. (Since most of this level is spent bouncing on awnings and climbing on gratings, the Crash Dash doesn't actually make that big of a difference.)
