Smokey and the Bandicoot

Smokey and the Bandicoot (ゴー！ゴー！ クラッシュバギー lit. Go! Go! Crash Buggy in Japanese) is the thirteenth level and is the third level of the third warp room in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. It takes place in a Western-themed desert, where Crash uses the Jeep to race Cortex's minions in a challenge for a crystal. Crash has four opponents. Dingodile is seen to be the slowest in this race, while Doctor Nefarious Tropy is the fastest.

Trivia

 * This is the only level where Crash races against Cortex's henchmen in the Jeep.
 * The level's name is a reference to the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit, starring Burt Reynolds.
 * This is the first level in the series where Crash has to win the race to get the relic.
 * Some consoles make the controls impossible to complete this level by winning and breaking all the crates.
 * Unlike the race stages in the previous game, falling into a pit in this level costs a life and the player has to restart (or only has to restart in Time Trial).
 * The overturned wagon in this stage reads "ACME" on the side, but this can only be seen by using a debug camera via Action Replay codes.
 * Early in development, Crash would've been able to explore this level on foot. This was changed because it would've made the race impossible to win.
