Crash 4 - The Cut Content You'll NEVER see!

[@Shaze64]

I REALLY wish Ripper Roo wasn't cut. A boss with him would have been so fun

[@fernandomartin661]

Ikr? One thing I didn't like about Crash 4 is the low amount of boss fights. Ripper Roo, Tiny, Pinstripe, the Komodo Bros, and many more were left behind, which is disappointing.

[@Angelo4436]

Many people probably have access to the ripper roo model

[@mikeynevitt7552]

He's one of my favourite characters in the franchise

[@GhostlyIvy80]

On the other hand, he would've been a miniboss at the end of Run It Bayou, as if that level wasn't hard enough.

[@dimitriwarchief301]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not my ripper roo

[@tabreezsiddique]

Another thing I feel might've been cut from the game were parts of the N.Tropy boss fight. Like the start and end of the whole boss fight make it seem like Tawna, Dingodile and Cortex took part in it, but you only play as either Crash or Coco and the boss fight only has two hit points, it might just not be it but it does seem like they had more planned for the N.Tropy boss fight.

[@RPGNoZero]

Yeah, it should have played like the Evil Twins boss from Twinsanity where you got phases where you switch between all playavle characters. It's like the boss fight was just begun after two hits and suddenly got abrupt end.

[@stuffnstuff720]

@@RPGNoZero Female N.Tropy even literally said that she wanted to see what "these mongrel could do as a pack". Just seems so obvious that they normally would have done a Twinsanity again with that fight.

[@senorpato3587]

I want to belive that the plan was: -Getting to N Tropy’s base using all of the masks and deactivating the force field (while at the same time weakening the doctors) -Using Dingodile and his vaccum to destroy the core of the Rift Generator -Tawna using her grappling hook to hurt the doctors and send them flying; leading to the cutscene we end up getting Cortex wouldn’t get a playable role because he gets reserved for the main villian role afterwards.

[@Alpha-oo8]

Bizarre... the game feels complete, yet there stuff that once you know got cut, you kinda feel cheated

[@ShadwSonic]

One, I wouldn't say _cheated..._ it's a fairly lengthy game, even discounting backtracking. Two... never rule out the possibility of such things becoming DLC. Obviously not the plot-related aspects (as that would fundamentally alter part of the base game), but extra levels, skins, or even a boss? That's another story.

[@HeloisGevit]

Bruh there isn't a single game out there that didn't have something cut during development, you gotta ship a product at some point. Crash 4 has plenty of great content to justify it's asking price.

[@thunder_9017]

I agree with alpha008

[@senorpato3587]

That’s called organization, something a lot of game devs and investors should learn

[@AbdulTheArabicGuy]

Just to clarify, "Unknown Tawnaverse" and most of the other unused tracks that aren't mentioned on the list given here are actually my own names I gave them that relate to their atmosphere. Although, "Unknown Tawnaverse" in particular does make sense for the track I have uploaded of it, since we literally don't know a single thing about Tawna and FemTropy and their dimension... other than it actually existing in the story now as an unused plot hole, which could be used for a sequel as a darker tone! That would be very interesting to see. Most of the other songs that have their own artists besides Roadrunner Rag, they are actually copyrighted and are fully fledged songs of their own (likely placeholders before any composition would've probably been made for said levels like Bay Breeze or Aren't I Clever Mummy). Really really interesting to see how much more this game offers to what could potentially lead to a sequel from here! P.S.: "Dynamic Duo" is probably either an unused cinematic cutscene or a placeholder for the title screen. Both fit perfectly. It's also up there with "Unknown Tawnaverse" being a title that I gave it myself.

[@Nintendoodz]

I wish there were skins for Tawna Cortex and Dingo. Would have made them more fun to play as if you had some option of customization.

Also, has anyone else noticed that the game never addresses the egg that N. Brio laid after the boss fight? They keep it the whole game, but nothing ever happens with it, but you see it in the final cutscene next to the couch. Is that more cut content or a possible plot device for a potential sequel?

Near the boss stage of the space world there are asteroids or space rocks positioned as if they were a path. I always have the impression that they could be a path to another level, especially considering that N. Oxide has never actually been defeated, he just disappear and that has never been clarified. I think there could also have been a cut level here or an alternative path (maybe the one traveled by Tawna) where you had to challenge Oxide with the spacecraft.

I hate the N.Sanely Perfect relics with a burning passion, but if TFB stuck with multiple tiers & only made the first one (maybe the second one.) required for full completion, this game would have been a lot less of a pain to complete!

Hmm, imagine if the Death Clock meant that the N. Sanely Perfect relics were perhaps intended to be a completely separate mode, Death Trials, much like the Time Trials.

[@toonman5099]

I was thinking on it in my own Crash 4 rework/Possible Crash 5 mechanic notes and I think I might know what the N Sanely perfect Relics might have actually been. Take the name in, Relics. Like the Time Trial Relics, the look at the fact there are 3 tiers. And the cut skull clock. Why in the world would there be a clock activation item if it was just "make it through the level hitting all the boxes without dying"? It would be kinda weird for there to be tiers there. Which then made me realize 2 possible things: 1. The mechanic of 3 extra similarly designed items aside from the "All Crates Gem" makes me think they were slightly turned into both the Wumpa/Bumpa Gem and the Death Limit Gem. 2. Considering there is a purple skull clock and 3 types of 3D model Skull Relics, what if it was similar to the Time Trials where the Skull would be seen at the end of the level instead of the see-through-crate-then-becoming-Gem-on-approach (which by extension could explain how the regular Time Trial Relics probably SHOULD have worked where instead of the crate visual, it would have been the Time/Skull Relic itself floating there, would explain how they had 3D models for the Relic items in Team Rumble, wouldn't surprise me if those models were in the files for this game), but the way to stop the clock would be to defeat enemies, rather than numbered yellow crates.

Hey Crash Bandicoot fans out there, you guys should make a fan-made Crash Bandicoot CGI-animated spin-off series call: Tawna And Cocos that takes place after the events of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and the quality of Tawna And Cocos needs to be straight-up incredible to behold than your average low-budgeted fan-made projects these days, it'll genuinely make you feel like you're actually watching a official Crash Bandicoot CGI-animated spin-off series. Also at the start of Tawna And Cocos, both Tawna And Coco befriend the older Coco from another dimension and later on in the spin-off, both Tawna and the older Coco start to have feelings for each other and after thinking about it for a little while, both Tawna and the older Coco decide to have a bandicoot lesbian relationship with each other.

That thumbnail almost got me because Coco Cowgirl looks like Pasadena O'Possum and I thought she was originally going to be in Crash IV It's About Time because it would make since for Pasadena to be a Cowgirl in a platforming/adventure Crash Bandicoot game

Would be awesome if they came out with a dlc with some of these missing levels and worlds.

[@AlmostInsaneGames]

Hopefully some will be used for future dlc. Ripper Roo is the best!!! Bring him back!!!

[@GenGamesUniverse]

my theory on the death clock is that it makes things even HARDER, so say for those who want to get 100% completion via trophies/achievements, they could try to get through a level where it's extremely harder like say the cut level from Crash 1 which was brought into N Sane Trilogy as DLC - Stormy Ascent and the 2nd DLC for Warped where you had to use all your powers. So it would make a lot of sense for there to be a death clock so that you could challenge yourself.

Man, if your speculation on what that Perfect Relic mode would have been was correct, that would have been so damn handy. Its so annoying to die (while having to watch your unskipable death animation), wait until you respawn, then pause the game, restart level, sit through a loading screen only to try again. I think perfect relic runs test your patience as much as skill lol

I wish we got the skins for the side characters it would have been cool, and that we got that level with Cortex and Crash in a mine cart and the Tawna running with crash and coco from the dinosaur (I always forget it's name 😂) cause it made more sense and then it would have been cool too have a end plot twist where they think everything is good and then reality breaks and starts merging causing all of them to work together again to fix it, and maybe this reality would cause Crunch to show up and then they take down the N.Trophy in this version of the story.

No i need ripper roo im sad he got cut

[@GenGamesUniverse]

Like CGE said, he didn't get cut per-say, he's in the level shown in his video, but the boss version of him was cut.

[@sk8erm870]

Another thing that is probably just speculation but I feel like originally the N Tropys boss fight was meant to have you also playing as Tawna, Dingodile and possibly even Cortex fighting against the Tropys especially since female Tropy says something along the lines of “Let’s see how well you fare against a group” which seems to suggest that possibility, but yeah that was misleading dialogue and even though the setting to the boss fight and the beginning of it playing with all the masks was interesting the actual boss fight was pretty disappointing especially with the low hp for the Tropys
