Fumbling in the Dark

''Darkness? It is here, secretly! Be fumbling around in it, but don't miss out on the clear gem unit!!'' - Level description

Fumbling in the Dark is one of the two secret levels in Crash Bandicoot. It can only be entered once Crash wins the key in Jaws of Darkness. Fumbling in the Dark expands on the mechanics introduced in Lights Out.

In this level, Crash sneaks his way through the darkened, eerie corridors of Cortex Castle. Because the darkness basically makes the passage he traverses pitch black and the enemies deadly as only their red eyes can be seen. The Aku Aku masks make level glow in order to help Crash see the path, are extremely vital for his survival. Collecting them is the safest way to get through the level, meaning that if Crash is hit by an enemy, he loses his only source of light also if he does not find another mask quick enough then his current mask will start to dim.

This is probably one of the hardest in the Crash Bandicoot series but most definitely the darkest level. Though it is only two minutes long, there are very hard jumps and obstacles you must surpass.
