History VideoGame / CrashBandicootTheHugeAdventure

* FusionDance: The final boss is [[spoiler:Mega-Mix, a monstrous amalgamation of the four antagonists that comes to life after Crash accidentally causes Cortex's shrink ray to zap them simultaneously]].

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Mega-Mix, an accidental FusionDance consisting of all 4 bosses in the game. Though it's more of a chase than a boss fight.]]

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Just like in past games, this game will supply you with a free Aku Aku mask after enough failures. Unlike the past games, this game requires you to die a ''lot'' more before it gives you one.

* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: The game has a lot of FakeDifficulty due to the cramped GBA screen, which would make the Time Trials difficult as well because of all the things coming from off screen and the leaps of faith. And yet, the times for the [[BraggingRightsAward Platinum Relics]] are pretty generous. If you play at your absolute best, You can win the Platinum by about 15-20 seconds.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The sewer levels from ''Cortex Strikes Back'' are featured in this game.

* AdvancingWallOfDoom: As with every Crash Bandicoot game until recently, the game was given cuter designs in the Japanese release.

''Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure'', known as ''Crash Bandicoot XS'' in Europe and ''Crash Bandicoot Advance'' in Japan, is the first portable installment in the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' series, developed by Creator/VicariousVisions for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance in 2002. While pared down and almost entirely a 2D platformer compared to the console series, the game was generally critically acclaimed, and is the highest rated ''original'' Crash Bandicoot game on Metacritic that wasn't developed by Naughty Dog.

* CameraScrew: The camera is zoomed in on Crash, which can lead to FakeDifficulty by preventing the player from seeing where they are supposed to go next. This also leads to problems after obtaining the Turbo Run, as Crash's increased speed means enemies spawn before the player can react to them.

* MarketBasedTitle: This game is called ''Crash Bandicoot XS'' in Europe (which stands for "'''X'''tra '''S'''mall").

* MarketBasedTitle: This game is called ''Crash Bandicoot XS'' in Europe(which stands for "Xtra Small").

* SoundtrackDissonance: Given that the game runs entirely on a RecycledSoundtrack, this is to be expected. However, the game predominantly [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this trope, using songs from ''2'' and ''Warped'' where they should be. [[DoubleSubversion ...With four exceptions.]]

* AnachronismStew: Possibly. The enemies and song from ''Warped'''s future levels make a return in the space station levels, but might no longer make any sense because this game isn't about TimeTravel. However, these could be chalked up to being inventions of Dr. Cortex.

* AnachronismStew: The enemies and song from ''Warped'''s future levels make a return in the space station levels, but no longer make any sense because this game isn't about TimeTravel.

* SpaceZone: The space station levels from ''Cortex Strikes Back'' make a return, but with enemies that came from ''Warped'''s future-themed levels.
* SprintShoes: The last obtainable power is the Turbo Run, which is acquired after beating the final boss. It lets the player sprint by holding the L button.

** [[UnderwaterBossBattle Dingodile]] uses [[TripToTheMoonPlot N. Gin]]'s boss music from ''Warped''.

** Of all things, the [[BonusStage Bonus Stages]] uses [[CoolPlane Rings of Power]]'s music from ''Warped''.

* UnderTheSea: The underwater levels from ''Warped'' make an appearance here.

* CameraScrew: The game is ''heavily'' accused of suffering from this, with the camera being way too zoomed in to see what is coming up.
* CrateExpectations: It's a Crash game, what did you expect?

* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Mega-Mix, an accidental example.]]

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Keeping in par with the Crash tradition.
* MarketBasedTitle: As mentioned, this game is called ''Crash Bandicoot XS'' in Europe(which stands for "Xtra Small").
* PowerUpMount: Polar makes a return in this game.

* ShrinkRay: What sets the plot in motion.

* SprintShoes: This becomes an obtainable power after beating the final boss. [[BagOfSpilling Again.]]
* TimeTrial: The relics return yet again for this game.

* AdvancingWallOfDoom: The snow levels have you outrunning a giant [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yeti]]; not only are you running towards the camera in this game like all the others, the camera is the farthest zoomed in it's ever been for these segments, making it quite difficult to react to things coming at you.
