| 1 | * Could be AccidentalNightmareFuel, but the ''opening'' to the game is unnaturally dark. So many {{beat}}s between transitions, [[VoiceOfTheLegion a vocoded, robotic voice narrating each screen]], and a [[HellIsThatNoise droning, ambient didgeridoo-based track in the background]]. To quote WebVideo/SomecallmeJohnny, "Are we playing ''Crash Bash'', or ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1''?" |
| 2 | * The Evil Ending is quite possibly the grimmest moment in the entire series, with [[TheBadGuyWins Uka Uka actually succeeding in capturing the crystals]] and Aku Aku, on the brink of a HeroicBSOD, begs Crash and Coco to flee for their lives. No gags, mood breakers or even any goofy music, just Uka Uka laughing demonically as lightning erupts in the background, with [[ItsAWonderfulFailure the Earth having only damnation to look forward to]]. |
| 3 | ** Really, Aku Aku's final line just cements it. He laments that good failed in the face of evil and [[TheMenFirst sends Crash and Coco into hiding]], even though it's clear that his brother will hunt them down regardless. |
| 4 | -->'''Aku Aku:''' (''mortified'') [[ThisCannotBe How can this be?]] Was I so naïve to believe that Goodness on its own could triumph over Evil...? Now Uka Uka has the Crystals, the Earth is surely doomed. [[RunOrDie Run, Crash, hide! My friends...]] ''[[RunOrDie save yourselves!]]'' |
| 5 | -->'''Uka Uka:''' There is ''nowhere'' to hide... '''FROM THE WRATH OF THE MIGHTY ''UKA UKA!''''' (''[[EvilLaugh laughs maniacally]]'') |
| 6 | * Even before then, Uka Uka is [[KnightOfCerebus portrayed in a far more menacing light]]. If you thought that Creator/ClancyBrown made him creepy in ''Warped'', this is even worse. He's far more aggressive, his voice is much lower, almost like a demonic entity, and he's just barely stopped from [[YouHaveFailedMe outright killing Cortex and N. Brio where they stand for failing him]] in the Good Ending. Considering the stakes, it becomes very evident ''why''. |
| 7 | -->'''Uka Uka:''' (''[[UnstoppableRage furiously]]'') YOU HAVE FAILED ME FOR THE ''LAST TIME!'' '''YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR ''INCOMPETENCE!''''' |
| 8 | ** Even worse there's a cut away to Aku Aku ''just'' as Uka Uka prepares to zap them and we hear both characters' hurt grunts. Given the other ending is CanonDiscontinuity, who's to say he didn't? |
