Trivia

 * Debuting in this stage are floating hologram probes.
 * This is the first level in the series to feature robots.
 * The Brio bonus round in this level is arguably the hardest bonus round in the series to complete.
 * In the prototype, Heavy Machinery is the second level of the third island instead of Cortex Power. Also, the hologram probes had not yet been finished and appear as floating orbs. They will still harm Crash if he touches them. The probes also appear like this in Generator Room.
 * In the prototype, the gap that Crash can fall into to break open some crates acts as a shortcut through the level. The shortcut takes Crash up to the point where he aquires the third Tawna token.
