Orient Express

Orient Express is the third level of the first warp room in Crash Bandicoot: Warped and the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remake of the third game.

This is the first level in the series where Coco is playable and sees her riding along the, which is still under construction at this point in time, with her new tiger friend, Pura. This level is named after the Orient Express, a famous historical long-distance passenger train which used to pass through China when it was in service.

Overview
This level is almost identical to the warthog levels from Crash Bandicoot and the Polar levels from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, except Pura can charge indefinitely.

Obstacles along the path include multiple Chinese dragons, rolling barrels (which can be charged through), barrel-filled wagons, and lab assistants in disguise as brick-laying peasants. Complicating the quest for the clear gem are several vertically split paths, where Coco can either simply stay on the ground, or briefly launch herself up to a higher level using ramps with lab assistants hiding under them.

Being specifically designed for Coco, Crash cannot visit this level in the N. Sane Trilogy.
