Crash and Burn

Crash and Burn is the 21st level in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. Like some levels like Jungle Rumble and That Sinking Feeling, its a Tropical Island world, surrounded by an erupted volcano which makes the island catch on fire during a rainy day. Birds like Toucans, chimpanzees and monkeys habitated the island. The level will begin at a seperate Island, since Crash can't swim, he must ride atop of a Platform strapped to a swimming Turtle, where he now arives at the village, where he encounters Local Monkeys armed with the power of a Large Banana which possesses a Super Body Slam shockwave. When he goes further down he will encounter a Lava River four Stone platforms, when he goes further he will again encounter a Lava Stream, where several platforms are constantly going down the Lava River. After it is crossed, Crash will get chased by a stream of lava. He will encounter a ! Crate activated Nitro pack, which the player then must cross. Then he will go over a larger stone platform which will immediatly sinks into the Lava river. Then upon going further there is another Lava River-Crossing platforms going across the Lava, but in the opposite directon. When Crash goes over this he will encounter an area completely stuffed with High-Tech Computers and Technology, after passing this place Crash encounters another series of moving Stone Platforms, when crossing it, Crash encounters another pack of Nitro Crates, then Crash, once again encounters a segment of Lava, with three platforms, oddly enough, floating above the lava. When this area is crossed a set of three huts is there, with one leading underground. Crash will go through a boardwalk and encounter a series of several Boulders dropping from a hole in the ceiling. Once passing this, there is an exit out, where after going through some Rivers of Lava and such, the end of the level is reached.
