Snow Biz

Snow Biz is the sixth level in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It is the second snow/ice level in the game; getting this stage's Clear Gem will require the Red Gem from the first snow/ice level, Snow Go, as nearly half of the crates here are found on the Red Gem Route. The final section of this level introduces rolling stone wheel obstacles for Crash to avoid, a la Jungle Rollers and Rolling Stones from the first Crash game.

Trivia

 * This level's name is a blatantly obvious pun on the term "show biz", which is short for "show business", which is related to celebrity-themed events or terms, or anything pertaining to the "entertainment industry". According to one fan named Irving, there snow business like show business, hence the name.


 * Alternately, this level's name is a blatantly obvious pun on "Snow Business", a popular 1953 Looney Tunes cartoon starring Sylvester, the famous cat, and Tweety, the famous duck. They have comical battles with each other during the animated cartoon, not at all dissimilar to Crash, the famous bandicoot, and his comical battles with Doctor Neo Cortex, the famous professional scientist.


 * Whereas Snow Go featured endless streams of seals sliding down slopes single-file, Snow Biz features penguins in the same role. It is possible that the evil Doctor Nitrus Brio does this, in his attempts to stop the evil Crystal-collecting Crash, because he wasn't able to afford enough expensive seals, due to credit card debt.
