Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (Renewed)

So far, my experiences with refurbished/renewed PS1 games have been a mixed bag, but this one is by far the worst one. Upon start-up, the game performs fine... up until I got to the second world, and VERY SPECIFICALLY, level 6 "Gee Wiz" crashes the game. And this isn't, like, "oh the sixth level no matter what it is," no, all the other levels in this zone perform fine. It's (like I said) very specifically level 6 "Gee Wiz" that crashes my game. I tried playing other levels, doing speed runs for other gems and hopefully the glitch will fix itself, but nothing helps. I even tried a completely different playthrough (it's less than an hour of gameplay, I didn't waste too much time), and that didn't help. Once again, the game ran smoothly up to that point, but I can't progress the game without playing this level, and the level crashes the game entirely. The disk is in fine shape, no major scratches or dirt to explain it, so... not recommended.

Didn't come with the case or manual

Disk won't load or play. Stuck on opening screen. Tried restarting about a dozen times.

I wish I had read the reviews. I get this is a refurbished game but I expected it to at least start up. I really wanted this game.
