Easter Eggs[]
This level contains several Easter eggs, perhaps the most of any level in the game. The first is a secret boss in one of the level's exit portals. This portal is located towards the upper left corner of the level. The boss is a digitized man that walks around at a slow pace. When hit, the man will proceed to puke. Upon killing him, the man will fall to the ground, bleed out, and fade away into liquid rez. The player can then exit the area through a portal on the right.
This Easter egg was first documented by IceChaos Dragoon during a Twitch livestream. They were creating a complete map image of the level, and stumbled upon the portal by accident. They would upload a clip of their discovery to YouTube on July 30th, 2014.[1] A higher quality video of this secret boss would later be uploaded by Ozband Iresh on November 28th, 2015.[2] It is unclear who this man is supposed to be. But it is most likely one of the developers that digitized their image as an Easter egg.
The second Easter egg is exclusive to the 3DO version of the game. In the bottom left of the map, there is a portal that takes the player to a bonus space shooter level. It was originally one of the developer's senior college projects for Stanford University, but was repurposed as an Easter egg for the game. Gex also makes some unique quotes in this level. Currently, there isn't a lot of documentation on this Easter egg and it's unknown why it was not included in other versions of the game. The first known documentation of its existence are two videos dating back from 26th October 2007 by youtuber user, inquisitorgame which were separated into two parts. The one video show the route to get to the minigame[3] and other video demonstrating the minigame itself.[4] The most recent documentation of the easter egg comes from a 1st June 2022 video by youtuber Dylus.https://youtu.be/QIh5eNRH6h4?t=570

Trivia[]
- The secret boss is perhaps one of the most bizarre and morbid Easter eggs in the entire series. Also, the Sun Snake and this boss are the only ones in the game that do not levitate or fly.
- This level and Newton's 4th Law are the only ones that feature the cloudy sky background art.
