Sunset Vista

Sunset Vista is the sixteenth level (including boss fights) in Crash Bandicoot and final non-boss level on the second island. This level shares a theme similar to The Lost City and is the last level with that same kind of design, but this time, it is accompanied with more obstacles and tricky jumps. This level features a rare Cortex bonus round where the player can collect a key to unlock a secret level, Whole Hog.

Level Design
Sunset Vista takes place at the site of ancient ruins. Sunset Vista is filled with many traps and obstacles that often require Crash to time his jumps. Some of the obstacles include flaming platforms and blocks that try and push Crash off the path. In addition, the level is also filled with bats and lizards that are often a part of a puzzle in different areas of the level. Crash must traverse up three levels of this level before reaching his portal. On the upper floor of this level, Crash can collect three Cortex tokens to unlock a rare Cortex bonus round.

Trivia

 * This is considered to be the longest level in the game.
 * In the Japanese version, this level was switched with Slippery Climb in the level order.
 * In the prototype, Sunset Vista is longer and even harder, because of the addition of rotating flames and more complex jumps.
