Rude Awakening

Rude Awakening (めざのの ジャングル lit. Wake-up Jungle in Japanese) is the first story level of N. Sanity Island and the first main level of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

Overview
The opening starts with Cortex playing with a Crash mannequin. Doctor Nefarious Tropy calls Cortex to help them to exit their time prison. Then, Uka Uka uses all of his power to open a quantum rift and gets exhausted. Cortex checks if Uka Uka is dead but N. Tropy tells Cortex leave Uka Uka behind, saying that the evil mask has "served his purpose". In N. Sanity Island, Aku Aku wakes Crash up and tells that he is feeling a great power having awakened from N. Sanity Peak and they must go there.

Trivia

 * This level's music lifts the motif from the main theme in Crash Bandicoot.
 * The television next to the couch can be spun to show an image, sequentially showing the title screens of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and the title screen for Crash Bandicoot 4.
 * The radio can even be spun that plays that game's main theme depending on what's shown on the television.
 * A Spyro floatie can be seen on the beach.
 * The magnets on the fridge spell out Crunch
 * The sombrero near the bar can be worn if it is spun on. As the player approaches the stage's first crate, a gust of wind will always blow the sombrero off.
