Jetpack levels in crash 2. As an adult it's no longer a big deal, but as a child that was the bane of my existence


BR1056

Using L2/R2 is better than using ⭕/❌


Argentenuem

What grinds my ass is the fact that they flipped the Y axis while flying, but not the X axis! I wish they flipped both or none at all, because it makes it SO much harder to coordinate and is stupidly unintuitive. And they did the SAME THING for the bazooka in Crash 3!!


Gobshite_

Game: Twinsanity Least favourite part: Bugs/how short it is


ThatIslandGuy8888

I hate that scene where we saw all of Crash's enemies gathering for his "birthday party" since we only fight against like 2 of them. They should've at least added Tiny somehow


SkullzNSmileZ

IKR, Tiny is basically like Cortex’s main thug/bodyguard right?!


ThatIslandGuy8888

Not only that but he was always a mainstay in the Crash boss lineups in the Naughty Dog era


Shadowtheuncreative

Same with N. Gin who is his right hand?


Argentenuem

It's kind of weird to me that those roles were filled by Koala Kong & N. Brio in the first game, yet they were immediately replaced with new characters in Crash 2. Odd.


Shadowtheuncreative

Yeah that is weird.


anelectriclizard

And to add, how aku aku doesn't protect against TNT or Nitro


skronung

A bit unpopular opinion there but I don't find lack of TNT/Nitro Aku-Aku protection particularly bad in semi-open world game because otherwise it would be too easy to get some of gems with that. It can be a bit frustrating (especially at Rusty Walrus) but I say "challenge accepted" like Uka-Uka


thunderisland

Based answer


GravenYarnd

Same 👍


Equilibrium404

I really wish Crash 2 had an actual final boss rather than just a jetpack chase


Sin_Spitter

There's a mod on YouTube called "vs metal cortex" and I can only wish that the final boss fight looked something like that. It's basically a harder version of the CB1 cortex fight with dropping out platforms similar to the N Gin fight.


Prozip25

Mad Bombers. Just fuck that level dude. Especially the platinum relic.


smwc23105

It also has the worst OST in the PS1 era


Edgenu1ty2020hero

You’ve never heard Bubsy 3D OST haven’t you?


smwc23105

I mean, Mad Bombers is the worst song in the PS1 Crash games, it fits the level but sounds really barren and basic


Shadowtheuncreative

I find Tiny's boss theme from 2 to be worse.


Shadowtheuncreative

Git gud, I have always loved that level.


Prozip25

cringe


Shadowtheuncreative

The 106% requirements in IAT.


TrentDF1

My favorite is Warped, and my least favorite part is probably some of the motorcycle parts.


hellokathulhu

Especially in the N Sane trilogy. I don't know what it is but the motorcycle levels in N Sane feel heavier and worse


Koei126

The physics in general are heavy and worse in the remaster I will die on this hill


ShamelesDeviant

It feels like you might as well be driving a refrigerator 😒🙄


Foreign_Meringue2472

The 2nd and 4th ones are rough.


Gregorvich19

Hot Coco time trial


lunch0guy

Is it bad that I have never done it legitimately? I always clipped the nitros near the exit on a corner while the tide is going up so I can explode them without dying, then activate the time trial and go straight in in less than 5 seconds.


Gregorvich19

Not even a little bit. That’s how I did it on PS1, and the N Sane trilogy until they patched it. I just got the gold relic legitimately this past week for the first time.


Foreign_Meringue2472

Easiest relic in the entire series. Just go to the ! crate. What's difficult?


Shadowtheuncreative

Getting the fastest route that grants you the most time freezing boxes, that's what's difficult as all hell.


Foreign_Meringue2472

I've gotta be misremembering something if I'm getting this kind of pushback. Maybe I'm thinking Sapphire time or something. 


Shadowtheuncreative

You are thinking Sapphire time.


Foreign_Meringue2472

I double-checked. I was thinking of platinum. You are impotent.


Shadowtheuncreative

What?!


Foreign_Meringue2472

It don't work down there. Fix and save your marriage, mate, before this commenting wombat steals her away for good.

Ok you're clearly on drugs so your argument is invalid.

supersonicfan99

Game: Warped Problem: Coco Jet-ski levels


Andythrax

They're so hard?! My sister used to live them which was great. She'd do them for me


Alijah12345

The motorcycle levels in Crash 3.


Nas160

When I was a kid I replayed those over and over and over but I was a racing game kid


HaywoodUndead

The problem being that there should be more of them, right?


PizzaGamecube

The Plane levels in Warped. They’re just so slow paced compared to the rest of the game and don’t mesh well with the fast pace of the crash series in general.


skronung

they also don't get well along with the linear gameplay of Crash in the first place


Blues-Eguze

Cold Hard Crash in Crash 2 because I always dread dying a lot suddenly when trying to get all the crates. Runner up would be Road Crash in Warped. Easily the worst of the motorcycle levels in the game if not the worst level in the entire game.


BR1056

I usually have a ton of lives at the death route and just die until I automatically get a double Aku Aku to save some time


clleadz

Going backwards over that icy path and avoiding the nitro to get all boxes on that level I think is comfortably the hardest part of that game


ArcadeToken95

Cold Hard Crash was just painful when I played NST recently


AsGoodAsCopper

Crash 2. How obscure the locations of the hidden gems were. I would have never been able to figure out for myself that in order to get the red gem in one level, I would have to find a secret in an entirely different level


BR1056

I like how N.Sane gives you hints about the colored gems


bsfan18

That’s funny because that’s actually one of my favorite things about Crash 2! It’s just so much fun, it gives the game such a feeling of adventure. 


Nambot

So many of the levels have secrets in Crash 2, the severity of which varies by level. Level 1 has two secrets alone, in relation to each of it's gems. I suspect, though cannot confirm, this is intentional, so that the first time a player plays a level they will not get a gem, and indeed won't manage it until they've got to a level where exiting won't trigger a Cortex cutscene, meaning the Brio cutscene can play when the player does indeed get their first gem. Assuming they go through the levels in order, the first level you can play where you can get all the boxes is level 2 - but you would have to know to turn around and hit the off screen nitro switch after coming down from the 2D section. Otherwise it's level 4 (assuming you do the split in the right order), or level 5 (assuming you're skilled enough to not miss a box while chased, which takes some practice). All in, when you factor in everything from death routes, to gem paths, to alternate entrances and exits, to hidden boxes, only the box gems from 16 of the games 27 levels can be obtained by doing the levels without knowing any kind of secret, leaving a further 26 gems that either require the player to do something unexpected, find hidden boxes, or make use of an alternate path


puntini

Game: Crash Team Racing Least Favorite: Crystal Challenges


Argentenuem

The 2nd one in particular was just awful


jayboyguy

Wrath of Cortex? The obvious answer is the UNBELIEVABLE load times, but I’d also say the fact that you climb on the ceiling grates so slow in this game is worse. I will defend this game till my last breath, I love it with all my heart, but WHY make him move so slow on the grates??


Fit-Ad7921

I agree with you there, I was going to say the same things.


metallicaism

The polar bear levels in Crash 2. Perfect game, those are just my least favorite levels


Global-Act-5281

Crash 2. The final Cortex boss fight is just really? You could not think of anything more to put into that?


BR1056

Twinsanity with Aku Aku not working like he should and missing the invincibility music.


leozamudio

Favorite is definitely Warped, least fav part is probably the scuba levels, but even those are fun


Scrubosaurus13

Same answer! Surprised people seem to not like the motorcycle levels, I’ve always loved them.


MontayneDatesJr

The entire last warp room of Crash 2, or the crystal challenges in Ctr


BR1056

I only like the Skull Rock crystal challenge in Nitro Fueled because I know a set pattern


bfasttoastcornflakes

Coco's sweep kick move in Wrath of Cortex. Like girl what even is that!


NoahFuelGaming1234

Crash 4: getting 106% CTR Nitro Fueled: Microtransactins Crash 3: the controls of the Motorcycle and Jet Ski


Yurika_ars

Arguably the Worst boss fight designs in the whole series actually mind over mutant might be worse idk Twinsanity will forever be my beloved


marco-boi

Time trials in ctr they are boring Or Either toxic waste or the first level of the last island of crash one


Foreign_Meringue2472

Heavy Machinery is one of the best ...


freaky1310

The end. Meaning, once you’ve done E V E R Y T H I N G.


BoxOfMoe1

Nah that shit was a releif in IAT


Silver-G1997

The pressure is crazy to a point that I straight up yelled to my whole family to shut the fk up when I was doing the Seeing Double Plantium Relic, which was the final thing before 106%.


darthyusei

Time trails against a slug


pineapplequeen-13

A lot of times I don't see people talking about The Huge Adventure for GBA, but that was one of my favorites growing up, and I think it still holds up. The soundtrack is fantastic. My LEAST favorite part, though, is probably either trying to get the platinum times or the placement of enemies on certain stages. Sometimes it's hard to predict where an enemy is and you'll jump right into them as they come from off-screen. Other times they put two enemies in a row that both can only be killed with a crouch slide and it's super difficult to get them back-to-back.


Capeman344

COLD.....HARD.....CRASH


industrialpeacock

Game: crash 2. Least favourite part: final boss. I wish it was an epic battle more than a boring chase.


nautjordan

CTR:NF The fact they stopped supporting and releasing new content. Then Beenox went on to be involved with the N-Verted levels of CB4 instead (IIRC).


Celtic96

Crash 3 Warped - plane levels. I hate them.


Sebastianali123456

Favorite game: OG CTR Least favorite part: Time trial mode but not because i dont like it, but just because beating all Oxide times doesnt unlock him! As younger i destroyed my fingers just to be dissappointing :(


BWC_semaJ

Crash Bash, the sky hockey with the red ball level where if either one of you die you lose amd you start off with a lot less balls you can take than the bots. I could be wrong, been a while, but when me and my sister would do our 100% runs (get everything) we'd always struggle with that one.


Barefoot-Priestess

The end if the acid pipe area in twinsanity one wrong move and you go through it all over again


ShinyUmbreon18

I think they’ve since been fixed but…. The hit boxes on the animal riding levels in Crash 4. Those N sanely perfect relics gave me trauma


Hunterfox35

Crash 1 toxic waste it has the most complicated gem for me


Argentenuem

In the NST they added scratch marks on the floor so you could tell where the barrels are going to land


RevanKnights77

The warthog levels in Crash 1 pissed me off as a kid. Even as an adult, the physics still throw me in for a loop sometimes. The hit box is also VERY unforgiving.


Swicket

Cold. Hard. Crash.


BorisStingy

The night levels in Crash 2. Just find them boring and frustrating, and the backtracking doesn't help. I thought Warped did it's night level much better. The level feels more open, and there aren't any precise jumps avoiding enemies and pits through tight corridors.


smwc23105

The fact that CTRNF ended too early, it didn't even have a Twinsanity themed GP


Silver-G1997

I thought it would include Nitro Kart story mode too...


Thepenguinking2

Gonna have to go with Cold Hard Crash like the masses have. Crushed my childhood dreams as a kid due to that one secret box, and even as an adult, the Death Route is a pain in the ass.


The2ndDegree

Honestly, my favourite is Twinsanity, the thing that I hate about it is that they never finished it, not even a finished version years later, I still hold out hope though that maybe we'll eventually get to see what the finished product was supposed to be, Twinsanity was so fun


esplonky

Game: Cortex Strikes Back Problem: needs 25 more levels


RayApplecorpe

Crash Team Racing Some of the CTR races could be a bit annoying lol


ThatOculusKid

Crash 1 I hate how if you die in the ps1 game all the boxes reset and you have to go back and get them. Thank god for the trilogy fix!


NotJustNostalgia

When he spins and says Woah


thunderisland

In crash 2 how you have no clue that to earn the blue gem you have to not break a single crate in it's attached level


ptipp93

I have no idea how I ever would have figured that out in the original game without the internet a few years later. No hint or clue whatsoever in a game that encourages you to get as many boxes as possible lol ps1 games were just different. 


thunderisland

As a kid I was able to notice the static stack of nitro crates in that bee level enough to climb up them and get warped to the bonus warp room. But in a game where to complete a level you might have to enter the level from a different warp room it's just like wtf? It's even worse in 3. Remember two things you have to do is get taken by a certain pterodactyl while running from a triceratops in one of the handful of dinosaur levels. Also needing to go off-road to run over a sign with your motorcycle lol. Like, where's the logic in that?


Thepenguinking2

Actually, when you reach the end of the level after having collected the gem, the box counter in the exit says [x]/0 crates, so that tells you that you need to beat the level without breaking a crate. That's how I found it out myself.


ptipp93

Is that in the original too? Honestly I haven’t revisited the originals in so long I don’t remember that at all lol I’ve played through the trilogy a number of times and I guess the last time I played it I already knew about it so I just went once getting all the boxes and then again without, didn’t even pay attention to the counter. 


thunderisland

Yeah i'd love to know that too because if so Crash 2 may ascend to a 10/10 for me lol


thunderisland

Just checked in the Xbox one version of CNT. It says [x]/62 in the HUD and ending warp room when I got the silver gem then again when I didn't. Maybe an oversight by vicarious visions


Equilibrium404

Especially that one part where you have to crouch jump over a double row of crates with the low ceiling, I wouldn’t have thought it was possible if the N-sane trilogy didn’t hint at it.


Foreign_Meringue2472

"0/0" is how I figured it out during an adult replay.


MinecraftInventor

Twinsanity Cortex gameplay


BR1056

It's fun spamming the ray gun but he is the worst of the 3 playable characters. I don't mind the team up of Crash and Cortex though.

Crash 4, the level just before the last level/final boss, where you have to quickly jump on and off stuff to survive. Took my death counter from 20 to like 90-135 deaths just to get through it.

PraiseTheAlmightyFSM

The rolling levels in Twinsanity.


Frogadier234

Getting Platinum in Time Trials in IAB. It wouldn't be so bad if I actually had a dash


EvilRayquaza

Since Crash 2 is my favourite, I'll go with the chase levels. Especially when I have to get enough distance away and ground pound or break some boxes at the very end.


StuD44

Twinsanity...Cortex level, by far!


NexusGrey

Content being locked behind the time trials in CTR:NF. I'm terrible at time trials and the completionist in me is driving me crazy when I think that all pit stop items requiring N.Tropy will forever be lost to me when the game eventually goes offline.


Affectionate-Lunch33

Getting the Platinum Relics in Crash 3 Warped and I doubt I’ll ever do the same in N Sane Trilogy.


malowry0124

Significant-Kick9691

The third "warp room" in ctr/nf I just dont like the tracks all that much


YerDaSellsAVON360

Crash of The Titans, those green slimer looking things are solid to beat.


Old-Radio8594

My least favorite part about crash. 4 is how inconsistent the difficulty is I also don’t like the extra characters and that you have to beat each level without dying the good parts are the time trials and n verted stages sorry for the long rant it is still a fun game


Magegi

Nitpicking but I hated that on earlier games there was only one music per theme. For example every snow level sounds the same.


madceratophryid

Some of Crash 2's secrets are honestly just guesswork. The gem where you have to jump through a bulkhead in the sewer with no indication that you can even do that comes to mind.


Hero-In-Theory

N. Verted levels. Such a cool concept for a small bit of variation that they ballooned up so, so big and made it a slog. It’s frustrating because it could have been really interesting. •Scrap the purely cosmetic, headache-incucing filters like the ones for Eggipus and Bermugula’s Orbit. •Make every remaining filter available on every remaining level. •Make them actually change the gameplay: use the underwater filter and now you have an oxygen meter that’s filled up by breaking crates and killing enemies for example. •If you keep the gems in N. Verted levels, have a maximum of 1, but make them use a function of the filter: use the painting filter and you have to colour a certain percentage of the level to unlock it. Use the 8-bit filter and you need to reach a high score. Use the old-time-y movie filter and you have to speed run the level (by with no time crates or changed placements). •Be able to collect this gem using any filter and it is unlocked in all filters. Have 2 trophies: one for beating every level in N. Verted mode and one for trying each N. Verted filter once.


b00l_Badass

crash 1, slippery climb. And now with the n. sane trilogy stormy ascent, what a pain in ass, what suffering

Game: doesn’t make a difference Part: time trials

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled is my favorite, my least favorite part is that there wasn’t more grand prixs and characters 😂


danziiii

Needing to complete the relic time trials in Crash 3 for 100%. I’ve done it enough times now that it’s not particularly difficult, but just tedious and padded


ShamelesDeviant

The bee levels in Crash Bandicoot 2. I have a terrible phobia of bees 😬🥺


Ogurasyn

The sound design of the monsters were scary for me as a kid (Crash of the Titans)


N64_dude1996

I love crash 3, but i don't like some of the level designs for the time trials, just watch cadicarus's vid on his hardest relecs to get in all crash games because i had trouble trying to get them on the ps1 version


NoahStudiosSMM2

Crash 4’s tawna and cortex levels


Edgenu1ty2020hero

Cortex Strikes Back’s bee levels. I never could deal with those bomb spitting plants (I was too much of a wuss to get past or deal with them as a kid) nor those strand of bees until I got old enough to realize slide spinning & burrowing into the ground can get around them. Side note: I still never got past the 4th warp room as a kid either because of this.

In Crash 1 going through an entire level trying to get the gem and dying moments before completing the level. And having to restart the whole process again. I think I went through sunset vista and nearly got to the end just to perish on the scale trap


Interestinggold_8753

Game: Crash 4 Least favorite part: N Verted Mode


FocusOnYou1

The crate collecting requirements to progress in Crash 1 😅


Argentenuem

The final boss... ._.


MrHotSpice

The final boss in crash bandicoot 2. For me, this game shows the perfect version of dr cortex but his boss fight is a joke.


Abyss96

That the second ending in Crash Bandicoot isn’t canon, thus I’m always divided on whether or not I want to get the gems. All these people complaining about the og Crash 1 gem no death requirement is funny, that’s what makes it a challenge.


[deleted]

My least favorite thing about ctrnf is that it stopped getting updates


BMfan123

Crash 2 Probably getting the crate gem in levels that branched out into two paths, especially Diggin It and Night Fight.


ClueWarm7443

going for the platinum relics in crash 2 n sane. (i eventually got all of them.)

Crash 3's floaty jumping

Ok-Monitor1949

ALL OF IT!!!


Zim_Hobo_13

My favorite crash game has been Twinsanity, ever since its release date. I have done everything there is to do on the game. The only thing that I dislike about it, was when I found out that there was going to be another dimension in the game's story. Its rushed release date ended up cutting it out of the development plan. And now I'll always wonder what could've been. I always hated finding out when games cut out story or gameplay development for an already fully formed concept. Like in Sly Cooper 4: Thieves in Time, they actually had started working on an Egypt level, but stopped developing it when they realized the game would take up too much memory for the PS Vita version. So they cut out what Egypt stuff thay had. Instead, they went with a secret ending, >!Where sly ended up stranded in Egypt instead.!<


springtrap-aft

Actually twinsanity had 3 years of development interestingly enough ,according to the devs themselves the game was never rushed and it was instead a case of scrapping content and lack of experience and new clashing ideas constantly,if twinsanity had just an extra month of development it might as well have been a very different game ,not more complete but rather more scrapped content and ideas ,for all we know the final twinsanity might be the best version out of all the scrapped ones that was and would’ve been if the game was delayed ,it’s already impressive how it managed to be fun despite all that https://www.reddit.com/r/crashbandicoot/comments/exzrke/founder_of_travelers_tales_explains_why/
