Academy of Evil

From Bandipedia, the Crash Bandicoot wiki

The school for evil children, run by Madame Amberly. Dr. Neo Cortex attended this school as a child, under the ever-watchful eye of the large Madame. Nina, Cortex's niece, learned her evil ways in this school, just like her uncle did many years ago.

A dark mist surrounds the academy at all times. It is located on a small island (somewhat akin to an island prison), not too far from Crash's archipelago. The academy is patrolled by furious hounds, robotic and monstrous janitors, walking dummies and mutated animals (the last two kinds being experiments from the local students). Below ground level is the Boiler Room, a big green area filled with acid, accessed through a secret passage in the central fountain. According to a picture, Drs N. Gin and N. Brio went there as children as well.
