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

Level design
Native Fortress is the ninth level and 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 the Native village. This acts as the way out of Papu Papu's stronghold and is considered by most players to be much harder than the previous "native" level.

Gem
This level features a secret area, required to get all the crates in this level. 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. Crash will need the red gem from Slippery Climb.

Trivia

 * At the red gem part of the level, when on the clouds, the player can see the other two islands; Wumpa Island and Cortex Island.
 * In the prototype, there is no red gem. The path that requires the red gem is not there.
