Description
The level has Crash going through three parts: Doc Amok, the River, and the village, and afterwards a chase from the Tribesmen. This level is one of the two to feature Doc Amok. In Doc Amok, Crash has to rid Cortex's path of hazards and protect him from enemies. The level also features unique gameplay of hiding behind reeds in order to avoid being spotted by watchmen. Also, to get one of the gems in the level, Crash must skip rocks across the sea to blow up a stack of Nitro Crates with a ! Crate on top.

Fake Crash and Crunch's Island
Some fans have speculated the small island in Totem Hokum, only visible in a few areas, was originally the island as seen in concept art where Fake Crash and Crunch are stranded on an island. It is possible to reach it still without any cheats or hacking.

The Fourth Secret Beach
Totem Hokum is home to the fourth discovered secret beach, it can be accessed by rolling a barrel out to sea with Crash on it. It is right in front of the cliffs which contain the village. But the beach is all solid. It was clearly cut for being incomplete.

Trivia

 * This is the first Doc Amok level.
 * This is the only level in Crash Twinsanity to have an Easter Egg.
 * This is the first "hiding" segment of the game.
 * In the hiding segment, Crash doesn't need to crouch behind the reeds, he can crouch in any area without being spotted.
 * An easy way to win the worm chase is to first take out all the enemies, then get the crates. Finally, chase the worm without the fear of getting hit and missing the worm.
