Cortex's Lair

Cortex's Lair is the eighth and penultimate level in Crash of the Titans for the Nintendo DS.
The level is set entirely inside of a giant mansion built by Neo Cortex on a cliff above the ocean on the east side of N. Sanity Island.
The level begins in a small grassy area, similar to the setting in the N-Sanity Highlands, just outside of the mansion. After defeating the wave of mutants outside of the main entrance to the mansion, the player can access the inside of the mansion and make their way through the main corridor. Various portraits of Cortex can be seen on walls. Once the player has reached the end of the main corridor, they can access the laboratory section of the level.
The laboratory section takes up the last half of the level. It is set in what appears to be a large freezer. Large portions of the lab are covered in ice. The Polartooth titan makes its debut in this level and can be encountered while traversing through the laboratory. Red, yellow, blue, and green teleport pads can be found throughout the lab and will teleport the player to different sections of the lab.

== Trivia ==
* Cortex's design in the portraits seen in this level seems to bear a strong resemblance to his original design.
