Hang Eight

Hang Eight is the third level in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It reprises the "stream" level archetype from the first game, but this time, Crash has a shiny new jet-board to take out for a test drive! If Crash reaches the first checkpoint quickly, a timer will be activated - reaching the end of the level, without dying, before time runs out will reward Crash with a Clear Gem, a precursor of sorts to the Relic challenges introduced in this game's sequel. In order to obtain the other Clear Gem, the typical crate Gem, the player will first need to obtain the Blue Gem from Turtle Woods, as more than half the crates in this level are found on the secret Blue Gem Route.
