Sewer or Later

Sewer or Later is the twelfth level in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. In this level, taking place later than The Eel Deal, Crash Bandicoot explores a sewer. This stage introduces triple-bladed fans that spin entirely too fast for Crash to slip through unharmed; the player is supposed to take out the blades first, by spinning the Scrubbing Bubbletrons into them.thumb|400px|right

If the player has obtained the Yellow Gem from the previous level, Plant Food, they can access this stage's secret Yellow Gem Path, a sinister series of challenging, and shocking, jumps simplified only be the fact that the only necessary item on said route, a Clear Gem, is located very early on so there is literally no reason to traverse the whole thing. A split path later on in the main body of the level awkwardly requires the player to take the right path just long enough to reach the ! Crate, then backtrack to the left path to break the crates it created (and collect the Crystal), then re-backtrack to take the right path again to finish off the level.

Trivia

 * Sewer or Later is most likely derived from the phrase "Sooner or later".
