If you didn’t get the world record for every relic then are you really a crash fan Lewis?
True.
Indeed. And also, if you haven't played all 4 Crash Bandicoot McDonald's Happy Meal games, are you even worthy of discussing anything even remotely bandicoot-related? I think not (╬▔皿▔)╯
@@kev1nno So true, bestie.
And when you haven't even played through all of Spyro Orange, the best Crash game to ever exist? Can you even call yourself a Crash fan anymore, Lewis?
I am glad you have a lot of crash bandicoot memories with your dad. Playing video games with your parents hits different
I agree! Some of my favorite childhood memories are of playing video games with my parents. Specifically if we're talking Crash, CTR and Crash Bash were family favorites. My parents getting competitive and a little angry playing just against each other was also super funny to watch as a kid.
I got into crash a lot later than I would have liked to. I think the way I got into it was by hearing my friends talking about it, so I just bit the bullet and gave it a go, and I’m so glad I did.
It’s fuckin hilarious how some people get offended because they know something you dont 💀
Fr, what a bunch of clowns 🤡 💀

Also a bit odd how personally lewis has taken that comment
Bro literally made a whole ass video about some comment he didn't even show tho
@@steelbear2063 and then said he doesn't care about the comment lol
I grew up with OG Crash Bandicoot. I’m about your age, born 2002. My parents had the PS1 as well but it never got sold. My mom loved Crash, and one of my earliest memories of all time is picking up the controller at like 4 years old, not knowing what I was doing, and using up most of her lives on The Lab. When I was older I remember finishing Crash 2 somewhere along the line. Then went I through 1 and Warped. And one day with birthday money I bought Titans. Loved it. Found Nitro Kart at a friends house. Was gifted Twinsanity I think. Bought Wrath of Cortex at miscellaneous side section under a firework tent. I don’t even remember where I got Tag Team racing but I played it too at some point in the middle of all those.
If you still enjoyed this franchise enough to make a channel dedicated to you playing through various games from it and suffering through their tough challenges for our entertainment to deliver iconic lines like "Flames Gone" then you're a Crash fan in my eyes despite having much less knowledge about it than me or other hardcore fans. Just simply enjoying and playing games from this franchise is enough to be a fan despite also having differing opinions about them.
Flame's gone has become a global Meme. Is anyone even a real Crash fan if they don't use that line whenever they screw up in any game?
Back on my 5th birthday in 1999, my parents got me a PS1 and in that console came a demo disc with 2 games in it that caught my eye, Crash Bandicoot 3 warped with under pressure as the demo level and Spyro the dragon. When I told you my little mind was blown away, I mean it phenomenal ass games. One of the main reasons I've become a fan of the series and I got the rest of the games as I grew up and here we are, 4 days before I turn 30
All im gonna say is this : Thank you for re-igniting my love for crash. I enjoyed every single minute of all ur CTR videos (since im way too bad with that game to even beat the basic time trials) and ofc the other crash videos but CTR hit differently cause it was my childhood game along with Crash Bash and i never had friends to play with. So thank you for that
I'm old. The first Crash game for PS1 was one of my first games, then played them all in order as they came out (Except Mind over mutant because I really didn't like Titans). I have loved reliving experiencing some of the secrets of the trilogy for the first time through your videos! Thanks. Hoping for a bright future for Crash.
You literally have a channel dedicated to Crash Bandicoot!
That’s what I was thinking 😂
As it turns out I have never played a Crash game
@@WumpaLewishmm 😂 if you say so friend lol
@@WumpaLewis
Yeah you thought you could fool us with those stolen gameplay videos with you narrating over them? Think again, Wumpa Lewis, if that's your real name
He forgot about crash 4 lol
I’m an 02 baby and I’ve basically played every game you mentioned other than Wrath of Cortex and I basically feel the same for every game. I remember getting twinsanity/nitro kart/ tag team racing in a bundle for Christmas. I was probably like 5-6 and didn’t have a memory card for my ps2 for a while so I never beat them as a kid. I remember replaying twinsanity over and over again and trying to beat COTT in a weekend with my cousin when he’d stay over
I remember the pain of not having a memory card. Eventually got one, but beating a game in 1 sitting was tough!
You've got every platinum relic in the original trilogy, if youre not a real fan then wtf am I lol
you are a minecrafter
Ah, but you see, a true fan knows that in the original trilogy only the 3rd game has relics
Not only a minecrafter but minecrafter in 2024 💀. I was playing that in 2015 bro like damn... I returned here just to say this
@@steelbear2063 obviously I meant the n sane trilogy
@@rbblakk
I know, I was making a joke, please don't bully
As you say at the end.
I played the PS1 games, all of them (3 and CTR the most, probably 1 the least), when I was a kid, but we never bought another console, so I never played the later games. Then the NST came out I've been playing again since.
My introduction to the series though was via a TV show called Maxihra (Maxigame) in which people could call in and play levels from Crash 2 and 3 for prizes. The gameplay was controlled with the phone's buttons. (That was also where I learned as a little kid which was left and right since I already knew numbers.)
The only games I never owned as a kid/teen were the original CTR and Crash 1. I ended up getting all of the others including Bash.
But instead of Xbox it was on the PS2. For some reason though I picked Mind Over Mutant for the PSP but I barely touched it and it's the only Crash game I have not finished yet. My favorite was actually Twinsanity even more so than the trilogy. The first time I experienced Crash 1 and CTR was already on an emulator.
I didn't find out about the series, my dad just ended up buying Crash 2 and 3 for our PS1 a bit after getting the console and those games were actually what got me into gaming along with Toy Story 2 because the rest of my library was awful.
man, I remember watching Maxihra religiously as a kid, my sister even managed to play one of the bike levels from Crash 3 like this.
I grew up with the original crash bandicoot trilogy on ps1 and Tekken 3.
you can't possibly write a better childhood.
I'm pretty sure lots of people grew up with these 2 games paired together.
Yeah, Crash1 and Tekken3.. 😎 (until our mother took away the latter, cause we started reenacting the fights in real life)
It is interesting to have a crash fan not well versed in the original trilogy, as it would be for a Spyro fan where those trilogies are by far the biggest games in the franchise.
Probably also an age thing where I’m always surprised when a big Pokémon CZcamsr or site runner or competitive player didn’t start with gen 1. People who grew up with the originals are getting old
The craziest thing is lewis I’m a bit older than you im 23 about to be 24 but i share this exact same thoughts literally, first game was woc liked it but never finished loved twinsanity, loved tag team racing loved titans, I remember i beat crash of the titans in 1 day, so much fun what a blast. And i have went back and played the originals as an adult just as you have. Crash is great
I remember trying to play the original Crash Warped when I was five or six at my cousins house and being so bad at it. I got The Wrath of Cortex and Crash Tag Team Racing a few years later, and while I enjoyed those games I still struggled to beat them. Ever since then I wanted to play more Crash games and I’m glad I did. The series means a lot to me and my family.
I'm a year younger. Same exact way you came into it. Original trilogy when I was little. Ctr was my favorite game but it got lost. Christmas before covid I bought the insane trilogy then saw the advertisement for ctr and bought it on the spot and it's by far the best kart racing game I've ever played.
the first game i ever played was crash bandicoot wrath of cortex and it just holds this special place in my heart because of it
Hog Wild on Crash 1 was the first time I ever played a video game with my cousins when I was young. Crash 2 was one of the first games I ever got on my birthday
If there's one thing I've always hated in fandoms, it's, "if you like/don't like this you're not a real fan." They're always the worst part of fandoms
The first crash bandicoot game I've ever played was crash wraped and ever since then I've seen fan. The ones i played was the original trilogy CTR crash bash wrath of cortex twinsainty CNK N trance and titans
I grew up with the wrath of cortex on the OG XBOX and Halo of course, they were the 2 games I kept switching between as a kid, something about cortex just drew me in, the playfulness of the levels, the sounds, the WOAH. I have vivid memories of playing Twinsanity in the mall and also loving it, always wanting to see more of it but too young to understand what game it was and asking my mom to get it. Then I got the PSP and played A TON of Mind over mutants, that game was my absolute favorite game on the PSP next to Daxter, after that on the VITA it was the first time I ever played the original classics
Crash Bandicoot 2 was one of the first games I ever played, and I still love the games (mostly) to this day. But even now, I'm not very good at the time trails, so I settle for Gold for the most part, and if I get a Platinum, then I'm happy about it.
So I played Crash since I was around 4,5 years old. Started with Crash 1, then 3, then CTR, then 2, and every subsequent playstation release since then. I still remember feeling that Crash was on his deathbed with the release of Titans. Played it and thought it wasn’t a terrible game, but not a Crash game. Nowadays Crash still is the franchise I love the most, even got 106% on Crash 4.
Woah I'm a month older than Lewis, June 99 baby here. Similar experience with the PS1 growing up, I have very vague memories of playing a decent few games on it, but I was so young, I could barely beat the first couple of levels on any of them. I had a PS1 demo disc I'd play all the time, and I couldn't beat most of the demos on it so that should give an idea of my skill level when my family had a PS1.
I was born in 1994, and we had the og PS1. I vaguely remember playing Crash Bandicoot in Kindergarten, but played the life out of Crash Team Racing. In 10th grade, I got back into the series and got a PS3. I played the tar out of the games. I got sidetracked by GTA the same year. I returned once again in 2017, but now all I do is work.
Love how you grew up with some of the ones after me. I started with the original games on PS1 and worked through to Twinsanity. Never played Crash of the Titans or Mind over Mutant nor did I play Tag Team Racing but I did play Crash Purple on Nintendo with the Spyro crossover. Amazing game, go and give it a go
I never would've thought I was older than you even by only a few months lol. My intro to Crash is so similar to yours though. I think I was like three or four at the latest and saw my step dad playing crash 2 and it then became the first video game I ever played
Personally, the only Crash games I actually grew up with were Bash, CTR, and CNK. I think I spent a small amount of time in Tag Team, and truthfully CTR and CNK were the only of those games I even liked at all, but I *loved* them. Crash honestly wasn't even a platforming franchise in my mind until I dove into the old games maybe a decade-ish ago, and that laid the groundwork for the Bandicoot-obsessed creature I am today. And tbh a real WumpaLewis fan would already know everything in this video smh.
I grew up with Crash Bandicoot XS (the EU version) for the GBA. It was the first Crash game I ever played. Unfortunately, I've lost the cartridge and haven't found it since. I do *occasionally* play the Japanese version (Crash Bandicoot Advance) on my laptop via emulation, and it has quite a few differences to the international (US/EU) versions:
-The "Credits" option on the title screen/main menu isn't present in the JP version.
-The TNT crates don't have the word "TNT" written on them, but have a bomb icon instead, just like in the JP versions of other Crash games.
-The copyright info that appears upon booting up the game no longer shows Vicarious Visions, but instead shows Konami. The Konami logo also appears on the very next screen.
-The JP version has 6 options on the Data Options screen instead of 5. The fifth one is exclusive to the JP version, and upon selecting it, you're taken to a prompt with the options "Yes" and "No". Selecting "Yes" returns you to the main menu.
-When Crash spins in mid-air, he loses some of his falling momentum when the spin ends.
-When he jumps during a grounded spin, he starts descending instantly when the spin ends, and with max falling momentum from the very moment the descent starts.
-The OoB (Out of Bounds) in Drip, Drip, Drip (Level 19) isn't possible in this version, because the game doesn't let you go above the camera like the US/EU versions do. This loses quite a lot of time, which is especially noticeable in Time Trial.
-Speaking of Time Trial, when you're in the Warp Room, both the relic time and your best time in a level show 6 digits in the international versions (e.g. 01:42:20), but only 4 digits are shown in the Japanese version (1:42.2). The last digit for the milliseconds (the 6th digit on the timer) always shows 0, which is why it was removed in the Warp Room, and the 1st is only shown when you get 10 minutes or more in a Time Trial and that happens to be your best time (which pretty much never happens). Interestingly, though, the 1st & 6th digits are still present when inside a level.
Apologies for this comment being unnecessarily long, I'll end it here.
Crash, Spyro and TombRaider were my first games on the PS1 and I have very fond memories playing through them all. Such simpler times that I will miss very much but I am glad these games are still around for newer generations to enjoy.
I have the absolute best memories with Crash of the Titans omg that game was my entire childhood i loved it so much!
When it comes to childhood classics, I mainly grew up with Crash Bandicoot on the PS2 (yes I never played the PS1 games growing up). I remember playing Crash TWoC, Nitro Kart, Twinsanity and Tag Team Racing. I loved all of them but I especially admired TWoC and CTTR (especially CTTR that was and still is my favourite Crash Game to this day). Outside of Crash Bandicoot I grew up with Spongebob. I mainly grew up with the Spongebob Squarepants Movie game and Nicktoons Battle for Volcano Island (I can't remember which i preferred but I think it was volcano island). I also had Pac-Man World 3 which I didn't mess around with that much until last year. I'm glad you enjoyed Tag Team Racing WumpaLewis :D
i literally got into crash bandicoot because of you. watching you play the ctr remake
The video games I grew up with were the original Spyro trilogy. Sure, I have plenty of games on my PS2, but Spyro will always hold a special place in my heart.
Finally someone who actually respects spyro and not giving crash all the attention
I grew up with Crash from the very beginning. I have childhood memories of watching my dad play the first PS1 Crash Bandicoot + that’s how I became a fan. I feel so old! Haha.
It's exactly as you say at the end. I grew up loving/playing the original trilogy,CTR and Crash Bash. I never ever played the Ps2 ones because, to me, they felt like a downgrade. I did however play the N Sane trilogy and CTR NF.
Crash Bandicoot was the first game I ever owned and played. I grew up with the original trilogy and CTR. I stopped playing Crash after The Wrath of Cortex and Nitro Kart. I was so disappointed with them both, and even then as a kid I knew Crash was gone.
2:28 that's not skill issue, that's the game having horrible physics
the game does have horrible physics but here he clearly jumped too early
Dude I was born in the same month and year and I can relate to pretty much everything you said
I'm a year younger than you and I vaguely remember playing the handheld Crash games on my cousin's GBA when I was like 8.
I didn't really get back into the series until 2020 when I saw your Wrath of Cortex review, so I decided to play that and Twinsanity. I also enjoyed all the Crash games that the Switch has.
I also grew up playing the same game bundle with CTTR, CTRNK, and Twinsanity along with some of the games on my Gameboy.
NGL Crash of the Titans as a kid felt extremely badass. Controlling all those mutant monsters and literally playing as the enemy was something very few games allowed, and it just felt awesome.
1:30 your life started in July 1999 that’s so cool. Mine started in December 1999 so yeah I’m younger than you by almost 5 months.
I'm in a very similar boat to you. I grew up on the PS2 and never played the originals until the remakes, and I love pretty much all the PS2 crash games! It sucks that because of certain big youtubers' reviews, people hate on Titans and CTTR even tho they haven't played them. I'm not saying the games were perfect, but they're decent games if you just play them, without comparing them to the original formula.
Haha, in every video someone mentions something about Mind Over Mutant, it is always that it is bad or they dislike it. I still don't get why though, I had fun playing that game as a kid like three or four times, and I loved it more every time. Now I own it on every console, and I play it once every couple of years to relive a part of my childhood.
being a kid from 92, the originals were my childhood... and the ps2/xbox era was despair, and me switching to nintendo games.
I grew up playing the original games, and Wrath of Cortex was my last game until the N Sane Trilogy. Who cares if you grew up with different games?! I think it's cool to learn about the games I missed out on, and see you play the games you missed out on.
I was born in 1989 and I remember playing original Crash Bandicoot trilogy with friends. I think it was 2000, when I got my first Crash Bandicoot game, which was Crash Team Racing. I also remember game called Crash Bash, which I played with my friends. Cool Crash Bandicoot video.
When I was 8, I got a PlayStation, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon for Christmas. My little sis would watch me play those games for hours after school (I played more Spyro than Crash because the OG Crash was "The Dark Souls of Platforming" compared to Spyro, no joke. And the Crash 4 N.Sanely Perfect Relics are the same beast. I didn't 100% Spyro 1 at the time because of one area in Haunted Tower, very upsetting, but beat the main game). I used cheats to see the other levels in Crash 1, because I'm sure it was Slippery Climb I couldn't get past at the time. Couple years later, got Crash 2 (beat main game) and Spyro 2 (beat 100%), went back to Spyro 1 and 100%ed it (after getting more Supercharge experience), and back to Crash 1 and got Clear Gem on Slippery Climb (without dying, hell yeah). About a year later, got Crash 3 and Spyro 3 for Christmas (beat both 100%). Then about another year later, I got CTR (PS1) and Spyro: Season of Ice (GBA) for Xmas. My sis and I had fun with CTR in VS. mode. Sad thing is, I beat ALL of Oxide's Time Trials but was hoping to unlock his character as a reward. NOPE. Very disappointed. 😞 Over the years, I tried to collect (and play) every Crash and Spyro game I could find (except for Skylanders, I refuse). The same goes for Tomb Raider, trying to collect them all (this is starting to sound like Pokemon, another thing I and my sis were into). I'd say the only Crash games I don't have are Nitro Kart for PS2 (I have the GBA version 😐), Team Rumble, and Skylanders (for both Crash and Spyro, but again, I refuse).
Funny short story about Crash 1: As a kid, I got so frustrated with Slippery Climb (among other levels), I traded Crash 1 for Frogger (PS1) with a friend. This exchange was like if you traded a chicken for an egg. Crash 1 is like the chicken: you learned what the chicken likes and what it hates, so you get along as best as you can with an occasional peck to the face (you eventually learn the levels at a decent pace, with difficulty spikes sometimes). But Frogger is like the egg: you have no idea what lurks inside. And nothing is more fearful than the unknown. 😱 But with hopes and prayers, the egg could turn out as well as the chicken, right?? Nah. This little f*** would peck your eyes out as soon as it hatched (you eventually learn the levels, but only after you've died a million times, they're WAY more fast-paced, and you'd need Turbo Fingers for general movement). Man, I wished I hadn't made that trade. Frogger's 10x tougher than Crash 1. I had, and still have, a better chance at beating the OG Stormy Ascent than beating Frogger. Luckily, the Gamer Gods heard my cries of agony, and bestowed the gift of Crash 1 in still-sealed packaging a few years later on a Wal-Mart shelf. That was around Xmas time, I think. And now, I'll stop typing a novel for my comment. 😅
I grew up in the same era. I didn't really start playing games till around 2001 - 2002. So I was also late to the original trilogy.
I had a similar experience to you growing up with Crash. I played a tiny bit of Warped at a friend's house, and I remember even borrowing their playstation for a few days to try to get through the game (didnt even make it to dingodile though). Some time later I got a PS2 and one of the first games I got for it was - Crash Nitro Kart, actually. somehow I got that one first, and I saw Wrath of Cortex in a game store later and wondered if it was a platformer similar to Warped lol.
But yea, I basically grew up with Nitro Kart and Wrath of Cortex. I didn't really get to play any PS2/Xbox Crash game beyond that unfortunately, but when I got a PS3 I did try the original trilogy through the official downloads on the PSN store thing. And I did the same thing for CTR. I definitely enjoyed my time with those games, but I definitely jumped on both of those games' remakes asap and I haven't go back to the original four games since.
I played spyro as a kid but i never played crash till 2019 when i played n.sane and ctr loved the series since
I grew up with crash twinsanity and tag team racing and that was for the longest time my idea of how platforming should be like in crash games that when i got crash 4 recently it was very disorienting not having the camera centered on my character lol
NGL, I feel the same way. I only grew up on the PS2 Crash games only and loved them to bits, even though I never got close to finishing any of them
I'm such huge crash fan when twinsanity made me want love even more games and tag team racing which are the two games that made me like the franchise. Wrath of cortex introduced to me to trilogy platforming before i realize there is crash trilogy and team racing. When i got crash of titans when i brought this game to play with a friend everytime he dies he asks me if he wants to keep playing and i said yes i knew this game ruin the franchise and years later they returned with remasters and crash 4 before quarantine
I grew up with the original trilogy
Really fun video! Would love to see more content of this style
I grew up with the ps2 games too i didnt even know the original trilogy existed until the remakes lol
Always nice to see polar upload
My uncle actually introduced me to Crash. Wrath of Cortex was the first Crash game, and I'm pretty sure the first video game, I ever played. I grew up on all the PS2 games, but Mind Over Mutant was my favorite back then. I have really good memories of playing those games with my brother, so I consider Crash to be one of the most influential things in my life.
But.
What about the UKA UKA Mug 🥹?
Despite how every PS2 era Crash game turned out, I think all of us have to admit that each game at least has a passionate flair to it... a different atmosphere that all of us can rightfully explore and get into, whether we were into it or not. Each of them have a setting for everyone, whether traditional gameplay or straight up combat. It was and still is an awesome era to have lived through just to see such (slightly to amazingly) unfinished games turn out so cool and filled with actual love and passion for the series in order to make each iteration grow on its own. Being a Crash fan doesn't need to necessarily start with the original games. You could play Boom Bang and I'm pretty sure you could develop some kind of love for the other games once you start visiting them, generally speaking. People getting offended because of the way you play or whatever knowledge you possess despite being a Crash channel need to also know that they were in those same shoes at one point like all of us. As a middle schooler, I had no idea of Eggipus Rex's existence, yet I discovered it through online forums and early youtube videos and managed to finish the game on emulator.
-93 boomer here. We didn't have a ps1 at home, but most of my friends had. I was 6 or 7 years old when the original CTR was released. I used to go at my friends house before and after school to play it. CTR stayed as one of our favorite games during our elementary school years and we played it so (maybe too) much that all "know-how" of the game has been permanently imprinted in my nervous system.
Man I had the original Trilogy aswell as WoC, MoM and CTTR. I loved them all to bits and even now have a big nostalogia towards them. Even.have some memories like not.knowing on how to change Warprooms in Crash 2 or beign afraid of those lions in Tinys fight in Crash 3. Always played with my brother and took turns when we died. Crash 2 was also my first game I ever completed on myself (Of course with a guide cuz of those secret exists and coloured gens). I was really bad at the time. The final level i had to do was totally bear and were really close to a game over. Even now I remembwr how excited I was after collecting the final gem and returing back to the warproom with a big smile on my face.
I was born in 94 and owned a PS1, so I grew up with the original trilogy. I remember really liking Crash 2 as a kid, but once I replayed it in the N. Sane trilogy I actually liked it the least out of the three. Weird how memories get warped. I also played Wrath of Cortex and saw a friend play Twinsanity in the PS2 era. Never really cared for the racing games even though we owned CTR on the PS1 as well. I also have some memories of playing Crash Bash at a friends house.
I was already quite old when I played Crash of the Titans. It was much after its original release, maybe in 2010 or something. I thought the game was fine, but I really wanted to play a classic crash game. That dream was eventually granted by the N. Sane trilogy and the released of Crash 4.
I'm a month older than you, but I didn't get a PS1 until I was 8. The only games I played for years were Crash Warped, Spyro 2, and CTR.
I played crash bandicoot twin sanity on my ps2 only for my ps2 to be thrown away by my stepdad about a year or 2 later 😭
I grew up similar to you. My grandfather had Wrath of Cortex on the GameCube and I vividly remember scenes of Cortex wearing a wig. (It was until I saw your review that it was a different game... That I believed for a long time was on the GameCube). However, the game that I played the most of was Crash Tag Team Racing on the PS2, love that game. It was until the N.Sane Trilogy that I got back in the groove with the bandicoot.
My experience was kinda the opposite of yours! I never owned Crash 1 but I did play Crash 2, 3, CTR and Bash. I never owned a PS2 until I was about 16 in 2011 and that was when I got to play Twinsanity for the first time (I always remember being sad about not being able to play it as a kid). MOM was okay. But getting around to the N. Sane Trilogy, with not having played the first game in the series and not completing Crash 2 as a kid, I definitely feel the whole "not being experienced enough with the game to know everything about them" thing. But watching your series made me want to go get all the platinum relics so now I'm much more experienced with it and can appreciate these games a lot more :D
Grew up on 2, warped, ctr, woc and nitro kart. Loved all of those. I could never get into the first one until the n sane trilogy came out. Never really played the later ones as none of them interested me
I grow up on PS2 era. I love every Crash game on PS2. I tried Crash PS1 games when I heard about emulators... And.. I love it. I think I am still Crash Fan even when I do not know every lore, every trick in the games.... I remmeber how one said " you are not Crash fan.. you have not any merch from Crash.. " I was like " You can not take this seriously, right ?" Oh man, even I played Crash games on PSP because I have not enough, my PS2 was broken... I do not like Mind Over Mutant... I prefer Titans too.
I became a fan in 2018 when Crash Bandicoot N sane Trilogy came out for the Xbox one, since my parents were big fans of the original games when they are around my age of 20 lol, so when they got the game they started playing it and I wasn’t into gaming until my cousins came round to our house and my dad was struggling with the level Native Fortress so my cousins and my dad took turns and i tried it and just instantly loved it and we were struggling for ages kept getting game overs and then I managed to beat it on my attempt and we were hyped and I eventually played the rest of the trilogy and loved it. Same story with CTR since they owned the original CTR and were hyped to get the remaster and I instantly loved it and still play it with my dad to this game probably one of my favourite games love Nitro Fuelled. Eventually managed to start loving crash more and I remembering getting crash 4 in 2020 I was hyped and then 2021 I got a ps2 for cheap and overtime got most of the crash games you mentioned and played them.
For me, how I got into the Crash Bandicoot series? When I was little, I watching cartoons on TV and it when into commercials, there was an ad about Crash Bandicoot on PS1. When I went to my cousin’s house, he had a PS1 and Crash Bandicoot. Eventually, I got a PS1 with Crash Bandicoot and other games like Ridge Racer. I grew up playing the original games and the original CTR and Crash Bash. Later on, I got the Crash games for GBA. The first Crash Bandicoot GBA was Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto’s Rage which featured Spyro The Dragon. I’ve never the other Crash games until later one in my life. I’ve never owned a PS2, GameCube, or the Xbox OG before. One of my friends I knew has Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex and Crash Nitro Kart. I only played a little bit of it. Those two Crash games I’ve mentioned, I brought them at a retro store that I’ve been to. Nowadays, I really wanted to play the other versions of the previous Crash Bandicoot games. I’ve have the PSP version of Crash Tag Team Racing. I’ve never owned the console version. For what I’ve heard, if you connect that PSP version of Crash Tag Team Racing with the PS2 version, you unlock exclusive content. I’m glad that your a Crash fan and you played different Crash Bandicoot games.
I love how you can stay humble about your experience with Crash Bandicoot despite having played a good chunk of the games in the series and having just wrapped up the platinum relics series
😂😂 Great video! I actually find it interesting you never really played the OG PS1 titles much.. I grew up with the OG Crash games on PS1 and then played some of the PS2 games and liked them (not all though)… 😀
the first crash gameplay i saw bash crash bash and the first crash game i played was titans for some reason, then 1, wrath of cortex, cnk and muta ts
grew up with crash of the titans, still my favorite crash game, so many memories were made on that game, as a 5 yr old high jacking monsters was the coolest thing ever and tbh it kinda still is 😂
Mind over mutant is the only crash game I haven't played
He took that comment personally lol
I'm not a real Crash fan, either. I called wumpa fruit "apples" until like a few years ago. I didn't know Crunch was Crash and Coco's enemy at first and NOT their older brother. I still can't tell you who Yaya Panda is. But YOU, sir, are the ultimate Crash fan. Because you dedicated hours of your time to perfecting your runs for plat relics when I settled for sapphire, and only 4 of them, in 2001. God bless you, Wumpa Lewis. You are a king.
I just realised I have much more experience at Crash games than I thought, I played the crap out of the original trilogy, Crash Bash and CTR when I was a kid. When I got a PS2 I was on my teenage years and played a lot of Crash Twinsanity, Tag Team Rancing and Titans. Just like you, I did not like Mind Over Mutant, there was something about it that made me drop it, and I completely missed out on Wrath of Cortex and Nitro Kart. In the current era I played alot of N. Sane Trilogy and Crash 4, didn't get Nitro Fueled because frankly I'm not a fan of racing games and it didn't come out on PC, which is a crime for the online multiplayer scene.
I got into crash 3 when I was just like 3 years old. I was born in 2002 but I have an older sister and our family had a ps1 and played on it until like 2008/2009 when we got the ps2.
at some point we also got CTR, Crash Bash and the Crash 1 & 2. And then the ps2 crash games as well so in a way I grew up with all of them (except Nitro Kart bc that's the one we didn't have)
I was born in 1997, the year Crash 2 came out. My parents had a ps1 with all 3 Crash games. When I was at the age I could play the ps1, those games were my introduction, and the Spyro demo from Crash 3's menu code. Don't remember when, but at some point I got CTR and Bash as well. When I eventually got a ps2, it came with Twinsanity and got Tag Team Racing the year it came out. I didn't really like Wrath of Cortex and Nitro Kart growing up. And Titans series I skipped entirely.
My first game was Crash Nitro Kart on ps2. I have mostly played the racing games only because the other games wheren't really my thing. I guess that also makes me not a real Crash fan
3:24 this was when I subscribed lol
As an OG fan, I've seen a lot of discourse on the later Crash games throughout the years, and I can in a way understand the sentiment put forth here by some of these comments. Stupid as they may be.
You see, the thing with the games that came out after the trilogy are, for lack of better terms, very polarizing. Initially Naughty Dog was pretty much done after Crash 3. And then Crash Bash came out, and you could feel it even more there. After that, the games just got weirder and weirder and the ratings seemed to reflect that. The franchise started to lose traction as other games started taking over the spotlight. Ratched & Clank/Jak & Daxter and so on.
Therefore, to the OG fans, the only games that matter will be the original trilogy and CTR and to them it's mind boggling how one could not know seemingly basic things about the ''best'' games. The difference here is that you simply grew up with different games and developed different experiences. So don't let it get to you, it's more of a generation gap than anything. Heck, you could even reverse this statement. I bet you could tell me things about Wrath of Cortex that I didn't know.
So it's all good! It's just the nature of internet anonymity that leads people to be as obnoxious as possible sometimes.
The series didn't really get weird until the devs stop following ND's style starting with games like Twinsanity where the focus was entirely on comedy losing the series cool factor and charm.
I had a ps2 and the first game, wrath of cortex, twinsanity and tag team racing
I used to hate twinsanity and never got past the cavern, have fond memories of the first warp room in wrath of cortex and exploring the hub
I played crash 1 and tag team racing the most but I didn't have a memory card so the cd would spin until it stopped working
I bought mind over mutant at the age of 10 and loved playing it in coop but never got past the nbrio fight due to how difficult it was but I have fond memories of playing it a lot and drawing scenes from it but I lost the cd
Twinsanity had time to be fully developed. It has to do more to management and organization that the development went wrong.
It's funny, for me, I only ever had The Huge Adventure on GBA growing up, but I loved it so much as a kid and beat it many times. Later down the line (probably in 2020ish?) I got the N Sane Trilogy and then in 2023 I got Crash 4, both on Switch. Lately I've been playing Wrath of Cortex and N Tranced on my laptop (very legally) and been enjoying them so far, even if I hate the water levels in WoC haha. I also plan to try Twinsanity sometime down the line, maybe Crash of the Titans and Mind over Mutant too
I was born in 1996. I remember how my father bought a PS1 and the first 3 games that I actually played in my life at the age of 4-5 were the original Crash trilogy. A little bit later than the original trilogy i received a CTR disc for my ps1. What can I say...I think this is still the game in which i spent the most time in my life! As a result, these 4 games are connected with my childhood and I loved them so much that back in the days i even downloaded them on PSP. What can I say, I still have a PSP with these games and sometimes plays for nostalgic))
Unfortunately, I've never owned an xbox or any ps other than the first one. That's why I didn't play anything that was
exclusive to future versions of the consols. I tried all the other Crash's games that came out on psp (both parts of mutants and probably smth else) but at that school age it didn’t work for me anymore(
However, I consider myself a fan of the character and games in general. Even though i haven’t played all of them, the ones i’ve played through dozens of times are forever in my heart💚
I even replayed all the new Trilogy games and got all platinum trophies after your videos! Of course i admit it also hurt me when i watched some of your platinum relic videos and realized that it could be done much faster😅. But regardless, I love your Crash content! Carry on man! Your faithful subscriber💚
I think you're being harsh on yourself. I'm someone who plays Crash games for fun, has quite a bit of problems with some Crash games, and I don't plan on playing the other Crash games outside of 1-4, and yet I consider myself a very hardcore and serious Crash fan. I'll always remember Crash as an absolute classic and you will too. You're one of us, don't listen to those clowns telling you that you aren't a real fan. Wish you luck with future goals!
"hE's NoT a ReAl CrAsH fAn!"
I first played crash warped at my dad’s friends house and I fell in love. Then we bought wrath of cortex for the Xbox and the rest is history. So basically, I grew up playing them the same as you 😂
I got into Crash on the original Xbox games Woc, CNK Twinsanity, and CTTR those are the only ones I have at the time and when the N Sane Trilogy came out on Switch I started Collect PS1 games as well as GBA Games and also the Titans games and since then I was a Crash fan.
i'm also from the 1999 and i grew up with the same games. everybody told me that the wrath of cortex is a bad game, but i loved it as a child and even as an adult i love it! even when the people are mad of me because of my opinion xD i also love spyro enter the dragonfly because that was my first spyro. so i feel your point .
My Area was Ps2 and 3 in the past. But i got the Feeling that the most Ps2 and 3 Games that i've played, that nobody else played every time when i talked with someone about childhood games I: and sorry for my english skills when something is wrong, because i'm from germany '-'
It's ok I'm not a real crash fan either, I only played the Crash 3 and CTR demos as a kid and then got into the series with the Nsane trilogy. We can rejoice in the non real crash fans fanclub ú_ù
I grew up the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy the original CTR and the PS2 games didn't really play Crash of the Titans and Crash Mind over Mutant.
Reminds me of a video you made a few years ago on your main channel where people were getting angry at your minecraft videos for the same reason 😂
