Warp Room

A Warp Room is an area in most early Crash games (Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back to Crash Nitro Kart) from which a player can choose what level to play. The Warp Room's in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped and Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex were very similar. Each Warp Room had sections that usually contained six levels (the sixth level was usually the boss). Each world in each warp room have different themes. For example, in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, the first section of the Warp Room had a castle and fairytale theme) In Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex the worlds were split into types of weather in different countries:
