| - Bug Lite (まっクラいせき たんけんたい lit. Pitch-dark Archaeological Site Expedition Team in Japanese) is the twenty-fifth level and is the fifth and last level of the fifth warp room of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. In most of the level, the only light source comes from a firefly that circles around Crash. The firefly only sticks around for a limited amount of time, so Crash must move quickly to reach the next bug waiting for him before the light source takes off. The lack of light, and presence of enemies such as crocodiles, mummies, and snakes make this arguably one of the most difficult levels in this game. Bug Lite is notable for having two gems, one is for collecting all the boxes along the main route, and the other is a multicolored gem route. In order to access the colored gem route, Crash must have obtained the blue, green, purple, yellow and red gems. This alternate route starts with the blue gem platform along the main route in Bug Lite. It takes Crash to face a hallway laced with spears that shoot from the walls. The easiest way through here is to avoid the spotlights that trigger the darts by jumping over the holes in the floor, and carefully double jumping over the spears. The multicolored gem route is lit up, unlike most of the rest of the level. Like Spaced Out, each of the gem paths has a specific theme. The blue gem path focuses on using spotlight areas and coffin mummies. The green gem path focuses on using ground spikes and nitro crates at certain places. The purple gem path focuses on using scarab platforms and moving platforms to hinder Crash. The yellow gem path focuses on using spiked mummies to defeat Crash. The red gem path just lets Crash receive the gem with no obstacles, albeit there is an bottomless hole between the gem and the exit of the level.
