The Lost City

Good, you've beaten the mad Ripper Roo, but can you beat The Lost City? -Level descriptionthumb|500px|right

The Lost City is a level in Crash Bandicoot. It includes enemies such as bats and lizards that jump around, as well as moving walls that push you into the water. Like most levels featuring an N. Brio bonus stage, it is a fairly difficult level, serving as a prelude to the later stage, Sunset Vista. Clearing this level will reward you with the Green Gem.

Trivia

 * Several real world locations are referred to as "lost cities" as well, perhaps most notably the famous Lost City of Atlantis, said to have sunk into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune". Due to this undersea association, contemporary fantasy portrayals of Atlantis sometimes involve mermaids or "reverse mermaids", also tying into Cortex's well-known animal-crossing schemes surprisingly well.
