History YMMV / CrashTeamRumble

* ItsShortSoItSucks: Even fans of the game criticised the lack of content within the base game, with only nine arenas, and no single player campaign or extra modes besides online competitive and a basic practice mode with bots. It is gaining ongoing content, though it'll be a gradual process to subvert the trope.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5E-JvH1q7Y Season 3's main theme]] fittingly remixes the title theme from ''VideoGame/{{Spyro the Dragon|1998}}'' and it sounds amazing when mashed up with that of ''VideoGame/{{Crash Bandicoot|1996}}''. A more relaxing variant of this theme plays when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vyJ7w8rpg4 in a lobby or in a menu]], while an ambient version plays when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5AhnL1NZN4 matchmaking]].

*** However, there are some methods to make get the badge easier (or up to three in a single match if you're lucky). In Tar Valley, the Aku Aku Relic Station will make you invincible once you get three Aku Aku masks, allowing you to easily attack opponents without taking a hit. The same strategy can also be implemented on Calamity Canyon with the Junker Ball Relic Stations, Serenity Gardens with the 'Akano Relic Stations, and Tiki Towers with the Uka Uka Relic Station. (Although in the latter three's case, powerups such as the Flytrap Spitter, Sticky TNT, Bounce Crates, Minefield and Garbage Dump can still damage you if you're not careful)

** Dr. N. Brio's Bank Behemoth challenge. All you have to do is KO two opponents with N. Brio in his brute form in order to get the badge. Sounds easy, right? Well, it would be, except you have to do it on the bank before the transformation ends[[note]]Keep in mind, Brio's transformation only lasts roughly five seconds.[[/note]] and you have to do it seven times. What makes this challenge especially frustrating is that enemy players can cancel your transformation before it even happens, and have a tendency to run away from Brio after he transforms. Even worse is a bug where Brute Brio's attack won't register any hits on enemy players.

** Also, there's Female N. Tropy's Dastardly Denier challenge. You have to deny 300 Wumpas by attacking opponents and without taking any damage. With how relentless and merciless some opponent players can get, this turns what would be something relatively doable into a LuckBasedMission. Also, like N. Brio's challenge, you have to do it seven times.
*** However, there's an easy route to do this. Go to Tar Valley, store 30 relics for the Aku Aku Relic Stations to make you invincible, attack opponents and BAM! You got a badge. The same strategy can also be implemented on Calamity Canyon with the Junker Ball relic stations, Serenity Gardens with the 'Akano relic stations, and Tiki Towers with the Uka Uka relic station.
*** Thankfully, this challenge was made significantly easier with the 1.05 patch. The new requirement for the challenge has you denying 300 Wumpa without getting knocked out. Though it still requires a bit of patience to pull off.
** N. Gin's Gem Jam challenge, which requires you to knock two enemies off gem pads with N. Gin's boombox within five seconds[[note]]Six seconds following a September 28, 2023 patch.[[/note]]. For reasons unclear, this challenge appears to be bugged, as even if you do manage to knock two enemies back with N. Gin's boombox, it won't count, as they need to be physically standing ''on'' the gem pad for it to register. And like all the other mastery challenges, it needs to be done seven times.
*** Even outside of that, N. Gin's boombox is very weak and can easily be destroyed by enemy players, forcing you to wait until the boombox's cooldown expires before you can place another one down, making this challenge an insane test of patience.

** Tawna's hookshot and uppercut combo, where she hookshots an enemy, stunning them briefly as she rockets towards them at ridiculous speeds, and follows it up with an uppercut and a downward smash. If you're unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of this move, then be prepared to kiss at least half of your health bar goodbye, ''especially'' if she keeps spamming the combo/uppercut.
