CRASH BANDICOOT: THE THREAD

Dragon Mines is ridiculously hard, don't worry its not you.

beat more of n tropy's times, still need to race his ghosts though which is dumb

Tell me: do I need any of the Blizzard Bluff shortcuts to beat Tropy?

Yes. You do need to jump over the lake on every lap. The other shortcuts, not so much.

Jumping over the lake isn't that hard once you get the hang of it, though. The main thing to keep in mind is that it isn't really doable unless you maintain the fire from the boost. If the fire peters out before you reach the gap, just reset. You'll save time that way.

Ohhh boy. I am by no means good at that shortcut, heh...

Activision looking at new content for Crash and Spyro and more remasters of other games coming

So, Dragon Mines time trial...

So, let's take a look at today's GP challenges, shall we?

I think somebody needs to fix their algorithms.

Does anyone else here find Fake Baby T strangely adorable? There's just something really precious about his big, buck-toothed grin and his caveman diaper.

i'm really close to unlocking baby t, i don't really care about the silver and gold prizes since they're just a skin and... something else

I honestly hope he becomes his own character in a future Crash game

Like, Fake Crash faking up time could be it's own game.

Fake Roman Gladiators, Fake Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Fake Albert Einstein...hell, there could even be a Fake Future as the final level!

Got Baby T not too long ago. He's pretty fun to play as, but I'm gonna stick to my main man Cortex. Or N. Gin.

I just hope Nina and N Brio aren't turning type when they come around.

Brio maaayyybe? Or he'll be an all-rounder like Cortex. Nina will most likely be accel like Coco.

Also Blizzard Bluff down! And I unlocked Out Of Time's Tropy ghost with the daily challenge thanks to the use of shortcuts. Next... oh no. Hot Air Skyway.

I kinda suspect Beenox knows well enough at this point not to make the more popular new characters turning types. By far the most anticipated new character of this Grand Prix was Baby T, who was conveniently made a speed type.

I'm starting to think the turning type characters get a slightly undeserved bad rep, though. They're not my favourite to use, but they have their place. Notably, maintaining the blue flame on tracks like Cortex Castle and Oxide Station is much easier with a turning type character.

Hey there, I've been a fan of Crash Bandicoot for quite some time now, I've played through the first game, Twinsanity, Wrath of Cortex, Nitro Kart, etc, etc. And I've enjoyed playing the original games on the N-Sane Trilogy. And right now I'm currently waiting for a mail order for my copy of Crash Team Racing Nitro Fuelled.

Well welcome to the forum, man!

That reminds me.

Before the N. Sane Trilogy, the only Crash game I played was The Huge Adventure back when it came out. I wonder how many people who've played Nitro Fueled are new to the series.

I'd say a fair amount. A lot of kids have been exposed to the series for the first time through this and the N. Sane Trilogy.

Dougsh is right about that. Mind you, I'm a fan of the series back when it was on Playstation 1 (I never played the first game, but I did play Crash 2 and Crash 3).

Crash 1 was my first Playstation game period. Crash Warped and CTR sere probably my most played PS games.

I'm a bit of an outlier. My grandma had one of the original Crashes for the PS1 but I never played it much. However, I played some of the more obscure ones myself, such as the GBA game and the DS port of Crash of the Titans.

I started out on Crash 2 and Warped. I don't recall if I ever played Crash 1. I also played all the racing Crash games when they came out, the horrid Crash/Spyro crossover games, some of the Titan Games, and Crash Bash.
