- You may be looking for the level named after this level from Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!.
Upstream is the fifth level of the first island in Crash Bandicoot and the N. Sane Trilogy remake of the first game. It is the first river type of level in the series. As the name implies, Crash must travel up along a stream, without falling into it.
Level design[]
The level is extremely linear, and is bounded on both sides by the banks of the stream which are covered in dense jungle foliage and occasional small sections of temple ruins. Crash must navigate his way up the stream by means of logs, leaves, stone platforms, and sinking lily pads. He must also jump across several red plants with green stems (somewhat similar to the venus fly traps) which will snap shut shortly after he jumps on them. There is also an alternate blue-stemmed variation of this plant, which snaps shut at regular intervals, requiring timing to get past it.
Gem[]
Before Crash can obtain the clear gem in this level, he'll first need to get the orange gem from Generator Room, a level that appears much later in the game. Once the orange gem has been obtained, Crash can access and break all fourteen crates.

Translation of Aku Aku Hints in the Japanese Version[]
| Japanese Hint | Translation |
|---|---|
| きのうえは すべりやすいから、 さらなる ちゅういが ひつよう じゃ。おちついて いけば かならず すすめるぞよ。 そうそう、さかなは スピンに よわいことを しってるおるかの。 |
The tops of the trees are slippery, so you must be even more careful than usual. As long as you stay calm, you can overcome anything. Oh, and did you know that fish are weak to your spin? |
| おまえに もうひとつ、だいじな ことを おしえてやろう。はこを ぜんぶ こわして ゴールしてみよ。 うつくしい ダイヤが てにはいる ぞよ。チェックポイント から スタートした ときは だめじゃぞ。 |
Let me give you another important piece of advice. Try to destroy all the crates before completing the level. If you do, you'll obtain a beautiful gem! But it won't count if you start from a checkpoint. |
