Hog Ride

Hog Ride is the eighth level in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. The first of four motorcycle stages in the game, it sees Crash racing against Cortex's Lab Assistant minions on a 1950s-era highway somewhere in the glamorous American Southwest. The fabulous trophy for finishing in first place ahead of Crash's six hot-rodding foes is a pretty Crystal, though to succeed the player will have to stay on the road and successfully navigate around parked cop cars (proudly serving Sheriff Cortex!), construction barricades, and bottomless pits that have been placed right in the middle of a beloved American highway for some reason. It is vital, especially in attempts for the finer in-game Relics offered in this stage, to utilize the few turbo pads sprinkled along the route - and to maintain the resultant turbo-charged wheelie for as long as possible.

Trivia

 * The name is also similar to the levels Hog Wild and Whole Hog from the first game. This has led to a lot of confusion amond fans, who were expecting the warthog to return for this stage.
 * After fully completing the game, Fake Crash can be spotted on the left side of the road, doing his mediocre version of Crash's own dance - but only in the European PAL version of the game.
 * All four motorbike levels take place at a different time of the day - midday for this stage, sunset for Orange Asphalt, midnight for Road Crash, and super dark midnight for Area 51?.
