What was the point of his character?

Giga chad putting the virgin in place

Basically.

Hes a big bandicoot

Someone to ship Coco with.

Chunky Bandicoot

for you

to suck my dick

My headcanon is that Crunch was actually fat once, and is always seen being extremely diet-conscious because he actually had to work for his physique

"That diet's a joke!"
"You can't keep it off"

What was the point of the elementals
It should have just focused on crunch, developing him more, with him just wearing uka uka

But that's his Wrath of Cortex design.

The fuck's a bandicoot?

I will fuck your friend in the ass non-sexually

& Knuckles

I was very disappointed with it as a kid

Leg day meme

Wrath of Cortex wasn't a good game but it was my first crash game and i loved it

>I'm you but stronger

It's like a really fucking bad Crash 3.

Crash 4, despite being rushed, ended up with 2 KOOL 2 KALYPSO music

They prefer the term "dark creatures" or "shadow demons"

It's shit

But the levels in Asia were fucking kino for some reason

kek, I remember most of his CTTR lines were so bad they were funny

I unironically thought it was good, even beat it several times as a kid. Especially the endgame with the bonus levels is brutal difficulty wise.

To give Crash a gay option.

well at least its lazy, slower crash 3 clone without all the bugs, problems, weird and inconsistent art styles and cut content all other games after that had

Notice how the early 2000's introduced shitty character to beloved series that ruined them?

> Crunch
> Krystal
> Tingle
> Shadow the Hedgehog
> Hat Goomba

>Crunch
Not the problem with the post Naughty Dog games. That was the lack of inspiration, rushed development, flanderization and shoddy game design. You're falling into the Sonic trap--as modern Sonic games exhibit, having fewer characters with the spotlight on them isn't th issue.
>Shadow
See above
>Bandanna Dee
First appeared in Kirby Super Star in 1996.

so you also think krystal was a mistake?

I never cared about Star Fox so I can't say.

The music was kino.

To be the Knuckles of the franchise. Serious red tough guy that wants to beat the living shit out of the main hero at first, but then becomes the hero's trusted ally in the end of the character's first appearance. After that he becomes the comedy relief character

Crunch was one of the WoC devs' fursona, I'm fucking sure of it

like a birthday party, exact the EXACT opposite!

None of these characters ruined the series and one of them had their series ruined by the merging games.

The planet's dyin', Cloud!

>Have an entire roster of unique villains for Crash to fight
>Just have him fight the same faggot wearing different masks 6 times
What the fuck were they thinking?

It should've been something like
>Earth Mask Tiny
>Water Mask N. Tropy
>Fire Mask Dingodile
>Air Mask N. Gin
Or something along those lines. Crunch was a mistake

>Forgetting Ripper Roo
Faggot

been well over 10 years since i played it. have to check it out.

oh god. i remember this level since you got to play as coco. and she was worse version of crash in very way.

Theres only 4 mask and they were at the meeting. Let Ripper Roo run for governor in peace

It was lame how those guys got reduced to stage hazards in the hamster wheel levels

He was basically supposed to be "evil" crash

>that one stage were all the past villains tries to kill you.

the down side was the stage was gimmick stage where you were stuck inside a ball.

Catchy, but uninspired, they just ripped off from other sources or put some simple tunes on repeat. Can't hold a candle neither for the earlier, ND-era games, nor to Twinsanity.

God, this game's graphics were so ugly. Despite the much higher polygon count, the graphics actually look WORSE than the PS1 Crash games. It's like they didn't know how to work on the hardware or something, the following game, Crash Nitro Kart, was light years ahead in graphics, to the point it's hard to believe both games share the same platforms.

Why they didn't use Fake Crash I will never know. He was like Wario Bandicoot and was popular too

Don't forget Ashley from WarioWare

True enough. It reminds me of Toy Story 2 game music. youtube.com/watch?v=COvIPGQiFb4
youtube.com/watch?v=ODVAnn_yb8c
I think Twinsanity has my favorite Crash OST overall. Iceberg Lab is my shit.

>I think Twinsanity has my favorite Crash OST overall
It's certainly one of the most original game OSTs ever. There's nothing even remotely similar to it out there.

To be what Crash was supposed to be.

Tag Team Racing had spiralmouth do some music too, right?

If you're curious about this game, play either the Greatest Hits PS2 version, or the Xbox version. The original PS2 version has infamously long loading times (to the point they became a joke), and the GC version has especially ugly graphics (even worse than they already are, normally)

What was the point of his character?

From CTTR I only remember the lalalalala song from the fairy tale themed tracks.

I think they only sampled spiralmouth tracks

N.Gin gets hungry

To chase crash. Like the triceratops in 3 or the polar bear in 2.

Yes. But it's not as good imo and they mix actual instruments in. I like this song though.
youtube.com/watch?v=gY_kT7n1F-E

i wouldn't say the game is bad per se, just a lazier adaptation of crash 3
i guess making a worse clone of a better game is more offensive than making a bad original game to some people
i always enjoyed the medieval levels myself (mainly because of the music) and the coco tsunami level was really fun too

>Crash 1
>let's have crash run away from a giant boulder
>Crash 2
>let's have crash run away from a giant bear
>Crash 3
>let's have crash run away from a giant triceratops
>wrath of cortex
>let's have crash run away from a giant dragon
>twinsanity
>let's have crash run away from a giant walrus chef that wants to cook him for dinner
>also no save points

i haven't played that game in over a decade and you still managed to give me a ptsd flashback from just saying lalalalala

like most crash twinsanity characters, he was rushed in with no time to develop a proper backstory for him

his music was sweet though

youtube.com/watch?v=tYb_2SWe2LQ

I do wonder what's next for Crash after Nitro-Fueled. I'd love to see a whole new game by Vicarious Visions. Maybe with the more open structure of levels like Twinsanity.

I like the game and you can't stop me

I feel like Krystal had harder to fall than most of those other characters.

Shadow and Crunch were just dumb characters made up on the fly in their series. Krystal was actually intended to be something, one of the two protagonists of an original IP Rare was making. Then Dinosaur Planet became Star Fox Adventures and all of her character development and importance was gutted because the game was rushed to hell and back and they had to make way for Fox's inclusion, which resulted in Krystal becoming the bland furbait damsel we know today.

It's pretty tragic when you look at it that way.

vicarious visions should capitalize on crash's current resurgence in popularity
i feel like they would play it safe though and follow a crash 2/3 path of collecting power crystals

Unironically one of the most underrated and memorable characters from the Crash series, his voice alone gives him a ton of personality

youtube.com/watch?v=5g9NoMFzL4U

I hope he returns to the series again sometime in the future

I feel like the formula of Crash 2/3 could get old if they don't add something new to it. I just hope they don't pull a Wrath of Cortex and grab the wrong things from Crash's popularity

He was going to be in Twinsanity 2 before that got screwed over

Attached: n_sanity_by_knockabiller_dbg2hux.png (1440x3212, 1.04M)

That's EXACTLY what Wrath of Cortex tried to do back in the day, and it backfired completely. Today the game that made an attempt to change things and renew the series (Twinsanity), is remembered much more fondly than the game that remained tied down to old conventions (WoC). Both shared the same developers, mind you, so that's not a factor.

That's why I feel like they wouldn't do it. Remakes are a good way to revive the series, they they have to do something new next to move forward.

WOC was going to be it's own thing at first

youtube.com/watch?v=Y8HjtNhZj7o

I liked the dynamic between Cortex and Crash in Twinsanity. Cortex and Crash playing tug o war with a crystal was a great idea. It’s unfortunate the game never got finished

Isn't that level in the final game or nah

I kind of wish we got the AU where Twinsanity was a full game and had a sequel and Cortex spin-off game like planned.

> Cortex spin-off game
That was going to be a thing?

You almost forgot the most important one
>Uka-Uka Crunch
Crunch shouldn't have been revealed until the very end anyway and mind control being broken by battering Uka-Uka off of him would make more sense than him just being unconscious for a few seconds.

I just hate the graphics, like who though it was a good idea to go from the most technically impressive PS1 games to this?

Better than Jak and Daxter

They redeemed themselves in CNK.

CTTR is seriously underrated, that game was fun as shit.

same here

Nitro-Fueled is gonna fucking suck and will never be as good as the original, prove me wrong.

youtube.com/watch?v=FgbyC-7j9lc
hell yeah son

What s the point of Fake Crash? Did Cortex create him or did he just pop up for no reason?

I know we was created because of some shitty bootleg toys, but what was his purpose in-universe?

Attached: N_Sane_Fake_Crash.jpg (1280x720, 71K)

Well they are listening to fans now and doing tweaks to the movement which they never did for N-Sane, the game it's one of those things we can't really completely judge until release.

Its got Zem and Zam in it

Never got the 'fake', he's just Crash's british cousin

>In Crash Purple he's chained up somewhere next to his card
it appears that he just wants to hang out or be closer to crash they're so similar maybe he believes they're brothers or something
Also its just safe to assume every anthropomorphic animal is just Cortex's and N.Brio's failed experiments

Like this guy?

Attached: download.jpg (160x314, 8K)

He was also a boss in N. Tranced I think

N.Tranced canonized fake crash as being a byproduct of N.Tropy trying to abduct Crash through a wormhole but Aku-Aku pulled Crash free.
The validity of this depends on how much credence you give to a GBA game not by NaughtyDog

Miyamoto and the Microsoft merge ruined Starfox, not a tutorial level

Shadow is based though.

It would make sense somewhat if fake crash was fucking around in time
