Wasteland

The Wasteland is a desert land inhabited by Rhinorollers and Spikes, Crash came to this area to find a Rhinoroller to get into Nina Cortex's school. A Rhinoroller village is also located in the Wasteland and it's inhabitants are a trio of non-mutated Rhinorollers. (One of them seem to take a liking to Crash) during Crash's journey there, he were told by one of the non-mutated mutants that a large number of Spikes was terrorizing the village. Crash then took it upon himself to defeat these Spikes and save the mutants living in the village. Afterwards they thanked Crash and Aku Aku and welcomed them to their village and Crash continued his adventure. Crash had to return to the Wasteland to get to Junkyard. The Scorporillas found it first and lived there for a while until the Rhinorollers came and wiped out the Scorporillas although the Mighty Scorporilla, he, Magmadons and the Temple Coliseum are still there. The Scorporillas were far more powerful than the Rhinorollers but the Rhinorollers were sneaky. ( For instance when you first see the desert there's a Rhinoroller and a Scorporilla arguing until the Rhinoroller quickly knocked the Scorporilla out. If the Scorporilla knew that was going to happen you would see a pretty bashed up Rhinoroller.)
