Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: 15 Most Brutally Hard Levels

13. The Lab (Crash Bandicoot)

The Lab is the last proper level in Crash Bandicoot before the final showdown with Dr. Neo Cortex, and though it's actually relatively short, it sure as Hell won't feel like that while you're playing it.

The entire level is an exercise in trolling the player, requiring them to hit "!" boxes in order to trigger infuriatingly-timed doors and walkways, all while avoiding electric fences, leaping green blobs and Cortex's creepy lab assistants.

There are a few especially harsh trolls in this level, such as a TNT box being hidden in a seemingly harmless batch of regular crates, and an awkward TNT crate right in front of the exit platform at the end of the level.

At least you can pat yourself on the back when it's done, because there's only the relatively easy final Cortex fight left after this.
