Blizzard Ball

Blizzard Ball (さむざむ・ボール lit. Coldy Ball in Japanese) is the eighth level in Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage. Crash has to use a ball and knock out all of the enemies, including lab assistants and Gnorcs.

Blue enemies multiply the ball, so if Crash loses a ball, he has a second chance of winning. If Crash defeats all of the enemies in all three phases, he will be rewarded with a crystal. If Crash loses the ball, he will be zapped away from the screen.

Trivia

 * Ballistix, a minigame genre in Crash Bash, shares the same gameplay style as this level. Crash's hovership and the steel balls in this level are based on those minigames.
 * However, Crash uses the ball to defeat enemies, while in Ballistix-related levels, the player uses a ball to deplete some of the opponent's points by scoring goals.
