Cortex Power is the nineteenth level (including boss fights) in Crash Bandicoot and the N. Sane Trilogy remake of the first game and is the second level on Cortex Island. This is Cortex's power plant, run by Pinstripe Potoroo and his minions. It is filled of toxic waste and dangerous machines. Including the blue gem path, this level has three routes to the end, all of which must be traversed to obtain the gem. Falling into the toxic waste in this level causes instant death.

Translation of Aku Aku Hints in the Japanese Version[]
| Japanese Hint | Translation |
|---|---|
| どうじゃな、この してんは。 かがくようえきの みぞの はばが みやすいように しておいたぞよ。 トゲの ロボットは おまえよりも たかいところに うかんでおる。 したを くぐりぬけられるのじゃ。 |
How do you like this point of view? I've made it easier for you to see the width of the chemical solution trenches. The spiky robots are floating higher above you, so you can walk past underneath them. |
| スイッチを みつけて おさないと さいごの はこの はしは かんせい しないぞよ。 とちゅうで やられて しまったら、 また もどって スイッチを おすの じゃ。２ばい たのしいのう。 |
Unless you can find and press the switch, you'll never complete the last crate bridge. If you're defeated en route, you'll have to go back and press it again. Double the fun! |
- Note that in the Japanese version, even if you die after hitting a checkpoint, you can still possibly get the gem if you backtrack, without having to exit the level and enter again.

Trivia[]
- The N. Sane Trilogy version of this level has an extra crate next to the life crate found on the path with many electric shockers on the floor.
- The N. Sane Trilogy's box count is therefore 42, whereas it was 41 in the original.
- In the N. Sane Trilogy, the developer time is particularly strict. It has only ever been beaten without glitches on PC, and as a result, this level and Hog Ride's developer times are rumored to be typos, or otherwise illegitimate.
