As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • The death animations, esp. with Polar in view. In one of them, Crash gets blown up and after a beat, his heart-printed boxers fall and drape over Polar's head.
  • Speaking of Polar, the humorous Aside Glance Crash gives right before he pounces on Polar and goes for a ride.
  • In a moment of Black Comedy, jumping on Polar's head multiple times in the second warp room will give you ten lives. And perhaps that's why Polar is in the group of enemies in the "birthday party" scene of Twinsanity.
  • In the opening cutscene, Cortex falls screaming from his battle with Crash. He discovers a cavern full of crystals, and maniacally laughs... only for his match to go out, leaving him in the dark. He really just can't win.
    Cortex: (lights a match stick fire) Muwahahahaa! Crystals... of course! (match begins to die out) D'OH! (light goes out)
    • He also appears to be hanging by his pants from a rather large stalagmite.
  • Speaking of Cortex, if you begin a new game, you can repeatedly leave a level without obtaining its Crystal, and it will get on his nerves. The first time, he simply chews you out and tells you to go back in. The second time, he's noticeably more frustrated and has to resort to showing you the Master Crystal again. Do it a third time, and he'll be so enraged that he cannot even yell at you anymore, and decides to leave you on your own until you finally get a Crystal.
  • The first boss revealing that the comedic epilogues from the 100% ending of the first game can be taken as canon, since we do in fact find that Ripper Roo has converted the space around his waterfall into a library and is much more lucid now (abrupt TNT detonations not withstanding).
  • The final Cortex dialogue, after Coco reveals his Evil Plan. His situation is so embarrassing N. Gin cut the transmission before he even finished.
    Cortex: (head turned on his right, angrily) N. Gin, you FOOL!!! SHE'S TELLING HIM EVERYTHING! (turns back to Crash, nervously) Ah yes. We're... we're, we're back now. Pardon the... interruption. (severe tone) Crash, bring me CRYSTA-
  • The Japanese version has a secret bonus video that plays when holding Left + Circle + L1 + R1 at the Playstation logo: An extremely weird yet hilarious live-action music video set to the Japanese theme song. It has to be seen to be believed.
