Winter theme

Snow Biz, an example of a winter-themed stage, from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.

The winter theme is a stage theme that appears in the Crash Bandicoot franchise.

Elements common among winter stages take place in icy or snowy environments, possibly mountainous or underground. Surfaces are often slippery, and the stages may include ice which characters must run, slide or use Polar. Many stages with this theme may contain underground sections.

Obstacles, enemies, and bosses may either take advantage of the slippery terrain or be equipped with weapons that can freeze the player.
