Ice Station Bandicoot

Ice Station Bandicoot (くぐれ！ スカイリング lit. Pass Through! Sky Ring in Japanese) is the twenty-eighth level and is the third level of the sixth warp room in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. Fifteen relics are needed to unlock it. In this level, Crash uses his copter pack to race a giant polar bear on a rug and fly through 40 rings.

Trivia

 * This level is similar to Rings of Power from Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, except there are 40 rings to fly through instead of 30.
 * Its name is a reference to the novel Ice Station Zebra.
 * In a prototype, this level used to be an on-foot level with the polar bear roaming it, supposedly as an enemy. Its structure is noticeably different from the game's conventional levels, being wide open with multiple routes. The original pathway remains in the final level as a background below, and is still playable via hacking, though the area is empty.
 * The polar bear rides a flying carpet, like the ones in the famous Disney film Aladdin.
