Castle Machinery

''Watch out! Dr. N. Brio isn't far and an evil crate bridge tries to stop your quest for the gem! Be fast and escape the Castle Machinery!'' - Level description

Castle Machinery is the twenty-seventh level and is the tenth level of the third island in Crash Bandicoot. It is right before the boss fight against Doctor Nitrus Brio. If the player has obtained the green gem, a secret platform appears right next to where the level begins, taking Crash up to a secret area that has 27 extra lives, preparing him for the forthcoming challenges. There is then another platform there that takes Crash to the end of the level. Oddly, this is the only level in the game with a secret gem route with crates only in the main route. In fact, taking the full gem route will cause the player to miss all the crates in this level.
