Erol race is actually kind of easy when you learn that if you miss a ring you can still reverse to get it, since it makes you fail the mission only if you get the next one; and that Erol slows down a lot when doing turns so you can quickly catch up to him in the slaloms.

When the team was making Crash Bandicoot Andy said he or someone else on the team wanted the Wumpa Fruit when picked up, and I think breaking the crates along with a few other things, to sound like you're playing an exciting pinball machine. The same company made the first four Jak games so it's likely they wanted to make the sounds as exciting as they were in the Crash Bandicoot series.

I just finished my first playthrough and by extension this level and yeah my jaw hit the floor when I saw the checkpoint placement or lack thereof here, even by Jak 2's standards which are so low the bar is in the underworld, it still manages to be exceptionally bad. None of the specific platformer challenges or whatnot are that demanding all things considered but they're all over instant death pits/Dark Eco and with practically nonexistant checkpoints which makes an otherwise middle of the road action platformer downright excruciating. I've played way harder games but Jak 2 is the only one so far where the difficulty felt like padding rather than intended fun, even quarter munchers don't waste and disrespect the player's time that blatantly.
