Level Design
The level is completely side-scrolling, and takes Crash across several raised wooden platforms as he scales a giant wooden gate. Crash will be required to travel up several stories of the gate in order to reach the finishing point. Reaching higher areas in the level will require him to use a combination of Iron Arrow Crates and special wooden platforms that requires him to spin them in order to make them accessible. The gate is also filled with a wide array of traps and enemies. Some of these included spiked pillars that will pierce any unsuspecting foe that is careless and special platforms that spout out flames. There are also numerous enemies guarding the paths, most notably the Shield Natives. Also, Crash will come across a strange terrain that is made of a green slippery surface, which will cause him to slip off the platform if he sits there too long.

Once Crash has acquired the yellow gem from The Lab, he will be able to unlock a new path that allows him to break additional crates that will allow him to acquire the clear gem in the level. The yellow gem path will create a platform over the final warp portal in the level, allowing him to access a whole new part of the gate. At one point in the new area, Crash will come across a breakable Arrow Crate that will carry him to a secret alcove behind the gate, which will allow him to break additional crates before completing the level.
