Off Beat

Off Beat is the first story level of Mosquito Marsh and the fourteenth main level of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

Overview
The level is set during a festival being celebrated by ghosts and skeletons, who can be seen around the level playing musical instruments and having a good time, either in the background or as the hindrance to Crash and Coco's journey. Cannon Men can be found across the level which shoot Crash or Coco towards the next segment.

Trivia

 * There are many cameos in this level, including a wanted poster featuring Pinstripe Potoroo, parade floats depicting Spyro, Pura, Eruptor (from Skylanders) and Fake Crash can be seen, and Ripper Roo bouncing around the city rooftops.
 * At the third checkpoint, you can spin into the dumpster to get the "Here Kitty Kitty" trophy.
 * With the adjacent swamp/bayou, parade floats, jazz background music and French-style architecture, the level seems to take place in New Orleans, Louisiana during Mardi Gras.
