The CloudRunner fortress stage, an ancient temple surrounded by water, starts with a similar cutscene as the previous level. As you make your way inside the temple ruins, you are attacked by more enemies. You can battle them with your staff or simply pick them off with from far away. Like ThornTail Hollow, CouldRunner fortress sports some really cool reflection effects. If you look down from a bridge leading to the temple, you can see your own and the bridge's reflection in the waters below.
Dynamic waves distort the reflection and make for very realistic water.
Inside the temple, you ascend a spiral stairway to the very top, where you are presented with a Rare-typical puzzle. There is a box in an alcove in the wall that you can't quite reach. Shoot it, and a flying dinosaur climbs out. Nothing special, but proof that there are puzzles in the game that go beyond the simple find and collect spiel found in many past Rare titles. All of Star Fox Adventures' cutscenes are in real time and feature voice acting and facial animation.
