Bug Lite

Bug Lite is the twenty-fifth level and is the fifth and last level of the fifth warp room of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. In most of this level, the only light source comes from a firefly that circles around Crash. The firefly only sticks around a limited amount of time, so Crash must move quickly to reach the next bug waiting for him before the light source takes off. The lack of light, and presence of enemies such as crocodiles, mummies, and snakes make this arguably one of the most difficult levels in this game.

Bug Lite is notable for having two gems, one is for collecting all the boxes along the main route and the other is a multicolored gem route. In order to access the colored gem route, Crash must have obtained the blue, green, purple, yellow and red gems. This alternate route starts with the blue gem platform along the main route in Bug Lite. It takes Crash to face a hallway laced with spears that shoot from the walls. The easiest way through here is to avoid the spotlights that trigger the spears by jumping over the holes in the floor, and carefully double jumping over the spears. The multicolored gem route is lit up, unlike most of the rest of the level.

Like Spaced Out, each of the gem paths has a specific theme. The blue gem path focuses on using spotlight areas and coffin mummies. The green gem path focuses on using ground spikes and using nitro crates in specific places. The purple gem path focuses on using scarab platforms and moving platforms to hinder Crash. The yellow gem path focuses on using spiked mummies to defeat Crash. The red gem path just lets Crash receive the gem with no obstacles.

Trivia

 * Like Spaced Out from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Bug Lite is the last level of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped to contain a crystal and also has two gems (one earned by clearing all boxes and the other by using the multicolored gem route).
 * This level is known for being one of the only last mandatory levels in the Crash Bandicoot games to not have a technology-related theme.
 * This is the third Crash level to have a firefly lighting the way following Night Fight and Totally Fly from the previous game.
 * Originally, this level was going to have an iron checkpoint crate in the yellow gem path (see gallery above).  It's possible that it was removed because any player who hit that crate but didn't have the red gem would be trapped inside the yellow gem path and would have to exit the level.  In the final version, any player who enters the multicolored gem path without all the gems can simply die and return to the last checkpoint hit on the main path of the level.

Name Origin
It is possible that the name of this level is a reference to "Bud Light", a special alcoholic beverage served at many events and sporting outlets. The "Bug" part refers to the fireflies that aid Crash throughout the level, while "Lite" is an alternate spelling for the light that the fireflies carry with them.
