Bye Bye Blimps

Bye Bye Blimps is the seventeenth level in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, set in World War I. In this level Coco must shoot down seven of Cortex's blimps in her biplane. It's the first level in the Crash series using this concept.

Crates and Ballons
Shooting crates gives Wumpa Fruit or lives, depending on the crate shot. After the crate is shot, the balloon floats away. Shoot all crates to receive a gem.

If you shoot a balloon, the crate will quickly fall from the sky. White balloons with a red cross yield more health. Yellow ones do nothing but help smash crates to get the gem.

Name origin
The name of this level may be a play on the phrase "Bye Bye Birdy", a stage production composed in 1958. The "Bye Bye" part may be a reference to Coco shooting down the blimps in the level.
