Hang'em High

Hang'em High (アラビアの あついぶらさがり lit. Hot Hanging in Arabia in Japanese) is the seventh level and the second level of the second warp room in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. (An alternate entrance to the level is designated as the twenty-seventh level in the game.) It is a stage, taking place on the rooftops of an old Saudi Arabian city, reminiscent of the Arabian Nights. Its landscape is strewn with floating magic carpets, bouncy awnings, and overhead grating that Crash can climb around on. It would be a relative challenge for this early in the game even without Cortex's league of minions. Enemy units deployed to the Middle East include pot-carrying monkeys, ceiling-hanging scorpions, lab assistants on flying carpets or patrolling the rooftops and attacking aggressively with a scimitar.

After collecting a total of ten relics, Crash can access this level's alternate entrance, Level 27, via the secret sixth Warp Room. Consisting primarily of a series of tricky jumps involving magic carpets, awnings, and nitro crates, this route conceals the yellow gem. It will then drop Crash off near the end of the main level path.

Trivia

 * Hang'em High may be a reference to the 1968 Western film of the same name, starring Clint Eastwood.
 * It's possible to get a Platinum Relic on this level without the Crash Dash. Since most of the level is spent bouncing on awnings and climbing on gratings, the Crash Dash doesn't actually make that big of a difference.
 * Despite being one of the earliest levels in the game, it is the next-to-last level of the game to contain slot crates. Double Header is the only level later in the game to contain slot crates.
 * According to an unofficial guide, this level used to have 81 crates, instead of 96.
 * This level's bonus round contains the biggest amount of wumpa fruit in it.
 * Much like Snow Go from the previous game, this level has a colored gem which is visible when playing the normal level, but only obtainable via the secret entrance, and both secret paths only contain Nitro Crates.
 * However, both colored gems can be obtained in the normal level by using glitched jumps.
