Snow Biz

Snow Biz is the sixth level and is the first level of the second warp room in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It is the second snow/ice level in the game. Getting this stage's clear gem will require the red gem from the first snow/ice level, Snow Go, as nearly half of the crates here are found on the red gem route. The final section of this level introduces rolling stone wheel obstacles for Crash to avoid, just like in Jungle Rollers and Rolling Stones from the first Crash game.

Stage parameters

 * Aku Aku Crates: 2
 * TNT Crates: 13 (8 in red gem route, 2 in bonus)
 * Nitro Crates: 10 (10 in red gem route)
 * Other Crates: 109 (16 in bonus, 43 in red gem route)

Trivia

 * This level's name is a blatantly obvious pun on the term "show biz", which is short for "show business", which is related to celebrity-themed events or terms, or anything pertaining to the "entertainment industry".
 * Whereas Snow Go featured endless streams of seals sliding down slopes single-file, Snow Biz features penguins in the same role.
 * This is one of five levels in this game where, after completing the bonus round, it is possible to die before the game is finished adding the bonus round crates to the crate total.  This causes a glitch where it is possible to get credited with breaking more crates than there are in the level. The other levels in this game where this is possible are Diggin' It, Cold Hard Crash, Bee-Having, and Night Fight. In Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, this is possible in Sphynxinator and Flaming Passion.
