Sphynxinator

Sphynxinator is the 16th level of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. It is set in Ancient Egypt.

Surroundings
The place looks like the level of Tomb Time,set inside the Pyramid. It has "spikes"which come out suddenly which can send you up,cowering there and they come out of holes on the ground.In the beginning of the level, if you go back, you will eventually see four crates. And also at the beginning of the level, you will see a big gap, through which you can go by sliding,then double-jumping while sliding(Double slide-jump)followed by tornado-spin. By crossing this area, you will get four lives.

Getting Gems
The first one you can get very easily by breaking all crates along with the Nitro Crate to get it. Another one needs the Blue Gem from Tomb Wader and the platform it absolutely contains no crates but the slippery area.

This level has 105 boxes and 2 clear gems

Bonus
The Bonus sub-level contains no Nitro Crate but there are two crates that are trapped by the TNT Crate which cannot be broken easily so the wumpa fruits count will vary. Total Crates:28 Basic Crate:17 Nitro Crate:0 TNT Crate:10 Locked Crate:1thumb|300px|right

Relic Times

Gold Relic Time: 1:22:63

Trivia

 * When the level is first entered, the camera zooms out after a close-up of a sad sphynx miniature. This, united with the fork splitting the stage in half as well as the long gap seen on the left side, may suggest this is an underground section or a lower floor of Tomb Time.
 * It is possible, but not confirmed in-game, that this stage's name is a reference to the Terminator franchise of movies, and the fact that there is a sphynx scene in the level.
