Toxic Waste is the twenty-first level (including boss fights) and is the fourth level of the third island in the original Crash Bandicoot game and the N. Sane Trilogy remake of the first game. As the name suggests, it is full of toxic waste. Pinstripe's minions throw barrels of toxic waste to stop Crash from progressing. Some barrels just roll while others bounce. The blue gem is obtained here for breaking every crate without dying once.

Translation of Aku Aku Hints in the Japanese Version[]

Japanese Hint Translation
さて、ゲームの こらいから ながく
たのしまれておる、ドラムかん
ジャンプじゃ。むずかしい?
フィーリングで すすむのじゃ。
ハネるやつが にがてな ばあいは
よこに さけるのも ためずがよい。
Now it's time for oil drum jumping,
something that has been enjoyed for
many years in video games. Too difficult?
Just go by feeling. If you're having
trouble with the bouncing ones, you can
avoid them by moving sideways instead.
ここをぬけると、ピンストライプの
へやに はいるぞよ。
やつが じゅうを うってるときは
むてきだから、ひたすら かくれて
がまんじゃ。たまの いれかえの
タイミングも チャンスじゃぞ。
Once you've passed through here,
you'll enter Pinstripe's room.
He's invincible while firing his gun,
so focus on hiding and biding
your time. When he reloads, that's
your chance to attack.

Trivia[]

  • It is possible that this level is a parody of the video game Donkey Kong since it involves Crash jumping over barrels.
    • The first Aku Aku hint in the Japanese version could be referring to this.
  • The barrels thrown in the level make an appearance on the Crash Team Racing track called "N. Gin Labs".
  • Similar barrels also appear in the sewer levels of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.
  • Spinning away Pinstripe's minions and then backtracking to break the crates makes obtaining the blue gem much easier.
  • In the N. Sane Trilogy. There are damaged sections on the pathway indicating where the bouncing barrels bounce
