Un-Bearable

Un-Bearable is the fifteenth level in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It's a boulder level with a twist -- instead of boulders chasing Crash there are giant Polar Bears. (Perhaps Polar's family is getting back at Crash for using Polar?) The final giant Polar Bear is much faster than the others. However, Polar appears and Crash escapes its rampage. Some believe that this bear is Bearminator from Crash Bash.

Secrets
There are two secrets in Un-Bearable.
 * 1) When the second giant polar bear falls down a large pit jump down off the three remainng wooden planks and you'll be in a 2D like jungle stage. It's filled with enemies like Hunter Lab Assistants, turtles, armadillos, and moles, as well as a few Nitro Crates. The platform at the end will return you to the part you jumped down. It is adviced that you detonate the Nitros using the Nitro Switch Crate before entering the secret area.
 * 2) Once you've outrun the last giant polar bear, go back, slide jump over the pit, and go up the path to Polar. You'll be warped to the secret warp room where you can now access Totally Bear.

Trivia

 * Many fans believe the second polar bear encountered in this stage is actually Pura's stepfather.
