* In a meta example, Sony created a trio of playlists to promote the game, showing off theoretical mixtapes for Crash, Coco and Cortex. Crash's is mostly motivational songs and energetic rock, Coco's is songs heavily centered around girl power anthems. And Cortex? His underlying theme is [[RealMenWearPink "comforting ballads to cry to after Crash foils his plans."]]

** Sadly, this only applies to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 version; the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, UsefulNotes/XboxOne and PC versions had to do away with the references [[ScrewedByTheLawyers since Sony wouldn't allow them on competing systems]]. Understandable, but sad all the same.

*** While the explosion doesn't damage Coco, it can trigger a nearby TNT or nitro crate, that ''can'' damage you.

* N. Brio's first cutscene is much more animated, having him frequently interrupt himself with psychotic giggling that makes his holographic head move around erratically. Just before his transmission ends, he looks at Crash with an out-of-nowhere bemused expression as if he was acting calm and collected the entire time.

* The basis for the Cortex N. Furiated trophy, in which Cortex is increasingly infuriated with Crash when the latter fails to get a crystal before leaving the level, and can be done up to three times before he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decides to leave Crash on his own]] until he collects a crystal. What really sells it is the look he gets when he has to explain the second time what a crystal looks like.

* Coco as a whole has [[WhatTheHellPlayer far less patience for player incompetence]] than Crash, as a lot of failures will have her doing an accusing DeathGlare at you. Fail to get the coloured gem in one life in ''Crash 1'' and she'll outright [[YouBastard throw a temper tantrum at you]].

* Meta example: with the "Future Tense" DLC, it is entirely possible to use Future Tense's two gems and relic to skip over one of the original levels entirely and get the 105% for official "completion" and the final round against Cortex; whatever level is left gives you 108% no matter what level that is.

* With Coco PromotedToPlayable, TheManyDeathsOfYou are still inherited [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender from Crash to her.]]

* How does Crash reveal a box gem this time? Apparently, he coughs it up - literally. Alternatively, he'll [[HollowSoundingHead knock it out of his ear]] or [[TrouserSpace pull it out of his pants]]. The latter was even {{Bowdlerise}}d from the original previews, where Crash would reach his hand down the ''front'' of his pants, while the released version has him reaching down the ''back'', giving the impression of a literal AssPull.

* The Colored Gem challenges require a NoDeathRun like it was in the original. If you do die and end the stage the following message will appear with an extremely annoyed Crash tapping his toe. The same with Coco, who shakes in anger before huffing and turning around and sitting down away from you, whilst occasionally glaring at you, effectively having a '''tantrum'''.

--> '''Nearly Perfect'''
--> '''...But you died'''

--> '''Nearly Perfect\\

* During the Tawna bonus levels, Tawna goes from being a quiz-show type hostess to being kidnapped by Cortex. As in, when Crash reaches the end, Cortex swoops in on his hoverboard and snags Tawna.

* The [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar line]] from Cortex during the first ending ("...and a woman with nice, big... [[LastSecondWordSwap bags of ice for my head]]") is made even funnier this time around thanks to his [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything exaggerated hand gestures]] and the fact that a musical {{beat}} is added for emphasis.

** Coco's version of this after being knocked out has her sitting up and shooting a [[DeathGlare disapproving glare]] at the [[WhatTheHellPlayer player for dropping all those crates on her head]], [[YouBastard then rolling her eyes in disgust as she gets back up to humiliate the player]].

* Coco as a whole has [[WhatTheHellPlayer far less patience for player incompetence]] than Crash, as a lot of failures will earn you an accusing DeathGlare. Fail to get the coloured gem in one life in ''Crash 1'' and she'll outright throw a temper tantrum at you.

* During the Tawna bonus levels, Tawna goes from being a quiz-show type hostess to being kidnapped by Cortex.

* The more intricate graphics and facial expressions mean some of the bosses' cartoony defeats are amped up humorously. Tiny's eyes pop out Wile E Coyote style when he's about to plummet in his first boss, while Dingodile's delayed OhCrap reaction to his flamethrower readying to detonate is priceless.

** When the knights cut Crash in a half in the medieval levels, the legs don't run away this time, but the torso falls down.

* The 100% ending. While Crash and Tawna fly away from Cortex's lair, [[spoiler:Tawna leans in to kiss Crash just as he slips and proceeds to dangle upside down on the bird's neck, with Crash surprised, then enjoying himself. What sells it is Tawna's BlinkAndYouMissIt expression before the scene ends.]]

* The normal ending adds a bit of hilarity: as Coco mentions the Cortex Vortex is "still up there", [[spoiler:a crab passes by the sleeping Crash and drags him offscreen, with neither sibling the wiser]].

* In a meta example, Sony created a trio of playlists to promote the game, showing off theoretical mixtapes for Crash, Coco and Cortex. Crash's is mostly motivational songs and energetic rock, Coco's is songs heavily centered around girl power anthems. And Cortex?

** Coco's version of this after being knocked out has her sit up and just shoots a [[DeathGlare glare]] at the [[WhatTheHellPlayer player for dropping all those crates on her head.]]

** The same can happen if you manage to smash all the boxes in a level, but then [[EpicFail deliberately don't pick up the gem on the way out]]. The reaction's arguably [[WhatTheHellPlayer even more appropriate]] in this situation.

* Hog Wild/Whole Hog's music now has stock sound effects dispersed within an already manic song, highlights include a typical bonk, a bike horn and a coo-coo clock.

* If you're able to collect all the boxes in a Colored Gem level, but die at all, Crash crosses his arms and glares at [[BreakingTheFourthWall the player]].
