** Additionally, the earliest version of Rilla Roo was actually a female kangaroo called Kanga-Soo. Developers got as far as making a full gameplay model for her, though Mark Cerny was unsure how audiences would respond to a female character getting beat up, so she was retooled into what became Rilla Roo.

* The earliest storyboards played the plot more comically:
** The masks' lair would instead inexplicably be a futuristic space station with "good" and "evil" ray cannons used to convert characters to different allegiances.
** Rather than Aku nixing a battle due to the ancients' rules, he and Uka would have a SissyFight before deciding to settle their conflict a different way.
** Originally Koala Kong would be switched to Aku's side instead of Dingodile.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: There was a claim that circulated around various web sites that stated you could unlock Tawna by inputting a cheat code on the character select screen. This code was completely fake, but for some reason the rumor persisted for quite some time. As it turns out, a similar code ''does'' exist in the Japanese version, though to unlock Fake Crash.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du183UPGnVI During a fan interview with producer Jon Williams]], several development ideas were mentioned:
** At the earliest points of development, Eurocom considered making a platformer which branched the Naughty Dog gameplay into open world, though Universal pushed for another genre (incidentally ''Wrath of Cortex'' would suffer similar ExecutiveMeddling, with the former premise only approved for ''Twinsanity'').

** Rilla Roo was going to be called Kanga Rilla originally, though the name was altered due to current trademark fears.

** One early minigame idea involved characters kicking chickens into a net (likely a nod to the attackable chickens in ''Warped''), however the idea was ditched after developers decided it didn't play well, as well as Universal finding the premise too mean-spirited (incidentally the later ''Crash Tag Team Racing'' would make abusing chickens a RunningGag).

** It's worth noting, however, that ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'' ''is'' on the US store. It retains the ''Crash Bash'' demo, including the code to unlock nearly everything. This is as close as the game got to reaching the US store.

That would fall under Hilarious In Hindsight.

* ManualMisprint: The manual for the game seems to imply that, in Polar Push, your charge meter is meant to be a limited resource and that once it runs out, you can't attack anymore. This is fairly different from how it actually works in game -- your charge meter depletes a specific amount depending on who you're playing after attacking, yes, but then it slowly recharges afterwards. It's not a finite resource and can never run out.

Rumor is wrong. The voices have inflection and emotion which is an impressive feat for computerized voices today, let alone almost 20 years ago.

** [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Rumor has it]] the two masks actually had computer-generated voices. If you've ever heard those two talk in this game, it actually doesn't sound too far off.
