Hang'em High

Hang'em High is the seventh level in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. (An alternate entrance to the level is alternately designated as the twenty-seventh level in-game.) A stage taking place on the rooftops of an old-timey Saudi Arabian city, reminiscent of the Arabian Nights, but during the day, it will require many an impressive athletic feat from our marsupial acquaintance. Its landscape strewn with personality-free floating magic carpets, pleasantly bouncy awnings, and overhead grating that Crash can climb around on as if this were some sort of sewer, 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-loving monkeys, the Doctor's lowly scor-peons, Lab Assistants dressed as boring non-manic genies on magic carpets, and dual-wielding scimitarded Lab Assistants.

After collecting a total of ten Relics, Crash can access this level's alternate entrance, Level 27, via the sixth Warp Room Button Cluster Dome. Consisting primarily of a series of tricky jumps involving magic carpets, awnings, and Nitro Crates, this route conceals the ultra-valuable Yellow Gem! It will then drop Crash off near the end of the main level path.

Trivia

 * This stage's name might be a reference to the 1968 American western film of the same name. Starring Clint Eastwood as an innocent man who survives a lynching, it is a completely appropriate name for a level set in the Saudi Arabia, where innocent men survive explosions all the time.
 * Contrary to the absurd scenes depicted in-game, crates in Saudi Arabia are made out of sand and oil shale, and not wood. Additionally, Saudi Arabian crates would not be allowed to lie around exposing this much surface area, due to that country's top-notch sex and nudity morals. This level shares these glaring errors with High Time and Flaming Passion.
 * It is never explained in-game why whoever was in possession of the Yellow Gem just left it on his roof, as opposed to keeping it inside his sand house or something. Most players agree that if they were Saudi Arabians, they would be far more protective with their infinite jewel-based riches. This level shares these glaring errors with High Time and Flaming Passion, which contained the Purple and Green Gems, respectively.
