Can You Beat Crash Bandicoot XS Without Spinning?

[@DrRank]

Update: Turns out the Gold Relic from Drip, Drip, Drip is possible after all. You can take out the Lab Assistants by just bouncing off their knees. That bumps the spinless Relic count up to 16, and the percentage up to 81(.94)%

[@faereman]

You can get another one in Star to Finish, doing a belly flop next to a nitro stack will blow them up, so you don't need to damage boost through any of them.

[@DrRank]

@@faereman I remember trying that in the run, but I always triggered the fan. Tested it out just now, and apparently you are right; I was just trying from too far to the left

[@trianabailey7737]

Actually it's called both:"Crash Bandicoot XS: The Huge Adventure" Don't reveal my account's name if you give me credit!

[@stevesamuals2651]

Not gonna lie, halfway through The opening i was like "is the whole video going to be him telling us how we can't play?" Glad i was wrong

[@FirEmblem428]

The colorblind and drunk programmer are two sides of the same jank coin.

Another fantastic crash bandicoot no spin challenge. Thank you for making these great videos

[@JUMPYCOOL]

The real question is, is the colorblind programmer and the drunk programmer at Vicarious Visions the same person?

[@DrRank]

Canonically, no

[@NGPlusVideos]

That was a fun one, I wish you'd used save state to preserve your sanity though ha ha

[@fierytheknight4150]

Interesting video, not that far through yet but I'm definitely watching to the end! I've never heard of the Analogue Pocket before, now I wanna get one for myself to take it out for a spi- *extremely loud incorrect buzzer: the sequel*

[@IllyasArt]

I got an Analogue Pocket a few weeks ago. Been having so much fun playing a bunch of old games that I never got the chance to play :D

[@crashtwinsanity5166]

WHOA Love your videos man

[@itsnoteasybeinggreen7076]

Awesome video as always, bro. Now dust around your TV!

[@DrRank]

I'm actually in the process of moving house right now, and that TV was one of the first things to be moved.

[@itsnoteasybeinggreen7076]

@@DrRank It's all good, man. Just looking out for a homie's lungs. Hope your move goes well!

[@rudysarmiento8700]

Fun story idea for the drunken programmer and the colorblind one beacuse why not. So the devs hired a programmer that is very drunk and this goes against their rules so they kick him out and leaved an open space for any dev, a colorblind programmer who's hobby is to assist with challenges steps up and becomes your hidden support agent, later on the drunken programmer found out about this after the making of crash 4 version 1 and reports about him immediately and this gets him kick and the devs try their best to block it out and this drunken one use a time travel device to sabotage the colorblind programmer and make this game spin full, however the colorblind programmer followed him and took him back from even more sabotage and proceeds to kill both of them with a grenade and spinner, taking the glory from the drunken wretch and fulfill his purpose

[@stevesamuals2651]

Im excited and waiting for that finale to the challenge of mario plus rabbids. So much so i did it on the second and third dlc lol

[@DropsofJupiterReal]

The green gem is cursed to having annoying levels I've found out lol.

[@graduator14]

Good challenge! Shame it isn't possible...

[@laurababyyy1]

It looks like they didn’t have any molotovs though.Maybe that’s why Joel massacred them all.

[@DrRank]

@@laurababyyy1 This video is about Crash Bandicoot, not The Last of Us

[@larajanesen8795]

Youre amazing

[@ShamanJeeves]

Twelve whole spins? Seems a bit XS-ive to me! C'mon, it's a better pun than The Huge Adventure. Jokes aside, I enjoyed the video. Looking forward to whatever comes next.

[@cooper249]

I never got to own a game boy a Nintendo DS and a Nintendo 3DS

[@Why-is-65-in-the-oven]

N Tranced has no swimming levels. I'm not sure there'd be any challenge in playing it spinless.

[@DrRank]

There are still monkey bars though, and bosses that use the Copter Pack

[@Why-is-65-in-the-oven]

Oh, right.

[@jaygooese4242]

😉😍 I loved this game as a kid

[@ninstars]

I don't get why you mentioned these things in the beginning just to end up using an Analogue Pocket, which contradicts your own point about using official hardware for the challenge, is it because you are concerned about the accuracy of unnofical emulators or because you want to use the cartridge you already have? If it is the latter then honestly it was just a huge waste of time and resources for something that would make no pratical difference in the content of the video.

[@jordy872]

After No spinning, How about you Beat the Games without Sliding? Besides Crash 1.

[@DrRank]

Not nearly as interesting. I do know it's possible in Crash 3 though.

[@jossan0417]

Tduy ?

[@TotallyReliableDino]

Love it

[@Mokujin__]

Damn you drunk programmer

Look it's crash bandicoot xylophone saxophone

[@xpdev0]

The Huge Adventure > XS

[@DrRank]

- Played on a smaller screen - Has a storyline about the planet being shrunk - 20% less content than the PS1 games At least XS is honest

[@Billcipher-y3r]

Crash bandicoot Xylophone Saxaphone

[@Dreamcasttime]

It feels like Sonic challenge

[@CallumAnthony-r9o]

3 minutes and 45 seconds of you saying you can't use emulation/unnofficial hardware...only for you to then use unnofficial hardware that uses emulation... Bit weird.

[@DrRank]

It's still using the original cartridge though. It's no more an "emulator" than running a PS1 disc on a PS3. And I never said I couldn't; I just prefer not to.

[@CallumAnthony-r9o]

@@DrRank Which would be emulation.

[@DrRank]

@@CallumAnthony-r9o OK but it's emulation that I paid for, and that makes it legitimate, I decided.

[@CallumAnthony-r9o]

@@DrRank You broke your own rule dude. You took almost 4 minutes explaining it. At least own that.

[@fierytheknight4150]

@@CallumAnthony-r9o okay chill out, he found a method of playing the game that allowed him to record it that wasn't blatantly pirating the game, just accept that and move the hell on

[@sonicfanbelike]

first

[@jaomang]

So computer emulators are out, but a bootleg emulation handheld is in?
