    There's also a Flashback level called Bandicoot vs Wombat, which I believe is a reference to Naughty Dog's first mockup design for Crash, which was called Willy the Wombat.

    The Wrath of Cortex masks, the Elementals can be seen carved throughout the Blast to the Past level. The small radio in N. Sanity Peak at the beach plays the original Crash Bandicoot theme. The flashback tapes use music from the original trilogy. In Crash Landed, the first set of boxes are arranged in the same pattern as the crates in Snow Go from Crash 2. The level's name is its self a reference to the canceled Crash Bandicoot game of the same name. In Cortex Castle there are portraits on the walls. On a couple of these portraits, Tiny Tiger can be found. The planet Bermugula was first mentioned by Nitros Oxide in CTR and is now a playable environment. Nitros Oxide also has a wife. The minecarts in Toxic Tunnels have Koala Kong's head on them. Willie the Wombat, the original Crash design is an unlockable skin for Crash, with Wanda the Wombat as an alternate skin for Coco. The stones in the water are the original rolling stones used in Crash 1. There is a poster of Megamix in one of the junkyard levels.
    Just thought I'd point out the ones you missed.

    In the snow level, when you enter the cave, if you listen closely, you hear a nod to crash 2 snow go ost.
    It skipped my mind until the last measure played and I pressed the capture button on the switch to get the past 30 sec. Of gameplay.
    And luckily enough, that was enough time to get the entire theme. It's pretty cool! No pun intended.
    I'm glad they threw that in there as a reference ^^

      If it's the only one in the series you've played then it course it's your favourite

    4:28 i believe it’s a reference to a classic Tom and Jerry episode; Rock ‘n’ Rodent. In it, jerry wakes up Tom by going to a club to play music with his jazz band at night, you can imagine that they would need mouse sized instruments hence banging on the can.

    You missed mega mix in the first level in world 2

    You missed the carvings of two of the elemental masks from Wrath of Cortex. In the first prehistoric level you can see Py-Ro (by the lava section) and Lo-Lo (in the bonus on a tree).

      Wa-Wa is also in that level on the right before the waterfall. I’m willing to bet Rok-ko is around somewhere given the other three are.

    I haven't played iat in a while, but while watching this, I saw a carved head that correct me if I'm wrong) is the head of Spyro's friend in the game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure? At 1:56 in the background directly above the couch.

    I could never get into the Crash games, they were always too difficult for me.
