Whole Hog

thumb|500px|left Whole Hog is a level in the original Crash Bandicoot, serving as the second and last hog riding level. This is a secret level, only being unlocked after obtaining a key from the Cortex bonus round in Sunset Vista. Whole Hog is very similar to Hog Wild, the only major differences being that jumps are longer then before and spike pillars cause more of a problem.

Trivia

 * This level's title is a sly reference to the fact that the hog Crash Bandicoot is riding has not been hacked into pieces, as one might often do with a delicious pig, nor have any of the hogs the savage jungle natives were roasting on spits. It can be assumed that this was to keep the game's K-A rating.


 * Alternately, it could be a clever reference to the fact that this stage contains many holes, that the hog can fall into if it doesn't jump over them.


 * Interestingly, this level can only be unlocked by obtaining a key from Cortex, thus implying that, at some point, the village's mayor rewarded him with the Key to the City. Many fans wish Naughty Dog had elaborated on this backstory, as it provides a fascinating contrast to the villainous light in which Cortex is usually portrayed.
