Crash Bandicoot 3 - Dr. Neo Cortex, Final Boss & Ending

[@callahaine100]

Now that I have grown up, I realize how creative this fight was! As a child, it was a pain in the ass!

[@liamcdm3689]

callahaine100 I found it okay. Even as a 7 year old I didn't struggle too badly.

[@joshuafoote5144]

He doesn’t seem too tough for a Final Boss.

+Joshua Foote but a least this is a better boss fight than the previous two games

[@vanessawynnewidodo1618]

True

Yes. Bags of ice. Definitely bags of ice.

Tom Reynor That joke went right over my head as a child! Shame I didn’t have a woman with nice big... bags of ice for it at the time!

[@Rotoid]

@@Little_Yu-Gi Do you have such kind of woman now? )

[@GR8GODZILLAGOD]

I love how the masks fight. Especially on the third phase of the boss. It shows Uka Uka just charging at you to kill you and Aku Aku intercepts him.

[@skonafid]

i barely noticed that the game is so well made

[@ykcamseyer]

This was a really good final boss I liked to watch. The whole 'both masks duking it out while Crash has to handle Cortex' thing blew my mind as a kid

[@ruthmcnally310]

The third phase is especially good in that regard, since the animations and the fact they hit each other right where you are implies that Uka Uka is now just trying to kill Crash himself, and Aku Aku is intercepting.

[@m3gAm37aLmAnX]

"Maybe I should retire to a nice big beach, with a nice big drink, and a woman with nice big bags...of ice for my head." Sexual innuendos FTW! XD

They are back

[@Torres89013]

The final boss fight is visually so badass. I remember playing it and was so engrossed in it. You have two very powerful spirit masks duking it out while you fight an evil scientist and all the stakes are raised. If this is ever made into a movie, this would be a hell of a climax.

[@albedo5450]

I felt like they really wanted to improve the final boss battle after crash 2. Dont get me wrong, crash 2 was a good game but the final boss battle was very lackluster, so it was great seeing a cool one in number 3

[@joshuafoote5144]

Yeah...Dr. Neo Cortex isn’t that tough for a Final Boss.

[@JamesnLollify]

Wack the poor guy around till he falls into a pit and gets hurt. Easy, right?

[@tylerp3327]

With a killer soundtrack to boot. Just so wicked!

[@ThreeEyedPea]

Finally, a Cortex battle that actually lives up to the fight. It's technically a 1v3 if you think about it, since you have to deal with both Cortex's attacks but also be sure not to get caught in the crossfire of the two masks' battle (and I think I died to them more than I died to Cortex)

[@HaloJaxed]

[@Skeleton-chan]

*Pelvic Thrust Dance Intensifies*

[@tonby]

The main hero finally faces his eternal enemy, while two voodoo demigods struggle against each other over the fate of the whole world, all of this above a collapsing time machine, engulfing everything around it. This is technically the most epic final boss ever. Prove me wrong.

[@xSimsTimex18]

"and a woman with nice big...bags of ice for my head!" lmfao i love how that went right over my head until i rewatched this when i was older. x"D

[@roastofsparta]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Birthnote]

They're fighting eachother, and by the 3rd phase Uka Uka realizes Cortex is losing, so he tries to attack Crash. Aku Aku stops him by intercepting Uka Uka, and that's how the explosion starts.

[@PhantomBowser16]

I love the idea of Aku Aku and Uka Uka facing off against each other. So badass. And Cortex is just brilliant.

[@KahnuevsKrake]

"A woman with nice, big......bags of ice for my head" I lol'd at that line.

[@ShadowDurza]

I always thought that the scientists in the crash games represented the different sciences. Some of their names are actually terms used in the sciences. N Brio is chemistry N Gin is engineering, (Kind of obvious isn't it?) N Tropy is physics N Tranced is psychology N Cortex is... well I'm not entirely sure, biology maybe? Leave a comment if you think differently.

[@WaspCameraInSpringfield]

Dr. Cortex himself seems to be something of a jack of all trades, which I guess is appropriate since he's the primary villain.

[@InfiniteDeckhand]

Peter Smith If that's so, then we might need another villain who represents biology. And why not also one who represents astronomy? XD Nah, just kidding. ^^

[@MonkeyDLuffy-rx4xb]

Psychology maybe isn't that like a behavioral science and a cortex is a region of the brain

[@dazamusik2789]

ShadowDurza The neo cortex is a part of your brain

[@BrightBuld]

@@dazamusik2789 so Dr. Cortex most likely is human science

One of the most aesthetically pleasing final battles in the world, the boss battles get more aesthetic as the game progresses

I love the Cutscenes in this game. The voice acting is bloody amazing. Especially Cortex and Uka Uka's voices. This is my favourite line "And in fact, WE'RE FURIOUS! But you've seemed to overlook one small detail you little orange delivery boy. Now that you've gathered all the crystals. All we have to do.....IS TAKE THEM FROM YOU!

[@Damax44]

I love how he seems to progressively go insane, and Uka Uka was great villain too "Crash Bandicoot for the last time! Give the crystals to ME!"

[@Spartahogv2]

and that is what makes these games special where as others just hold your hand and beat the game, this one actually made you work to get the real ending all while satisfying.

[@hitmontop16]

"Crash, Crash, Crash, why must you always muck in my mud? Oh look, I have a mask helping me, too. We will find out which one is more powerful soon enough." "Why, why must you continue to be a thorn in our side?!" "Who? What? Where was I? Oh... Tiny was a good fellow. He hated everyone, and everything. But a good heart, nonetheless. Please be me more reasonable with my minions next time." "Well, you've 'Crashed' a few parties before, but I never expected you to make it this far. If you don't turn back..." "...I will inflict a thousand years of suffering on you and the entire universe!" "You insolent, insignificant morons! By defeating N. Tropy, you have placed us all in grave risk!" "Crash, Coco, you must realize that this Time-Twisting Machine is very delicate! Without Dr. N. Tropy's constant care and control, who knows what it will do?!" "It's funny how history repeats itself. Yet again, N. Gin has failed to defeat you." "Well that's why we must destroy you!" "Ohh...my aching head! I'm not feeling myself these days. So, the end is in sight. Gather another five crystals and again you will have foiled my plan...or will you?" *laughing* "I'm sorry. This is the part where I'm supposed to be angry. Full of rage. Incensed beyond belief. Once again you have outsmarted and outspun my best henchmen...I should be rather upset, shouldn't I?" "And in fact, we're FURIOUS! But it seems you have overlooked one small detail, you little orange delivery boy! Now that you have gathered all of the crystals, all we have to do is TAKE THEM FROM YOU!"

[@filipdestroyer8456]

How much time did this take u to write?

[@DeadlyAllianceLeader]

"Without N. Tropy's constant care and control, who KNOWS what it will do!" Not much it seems... Crash just kept-a-goin'. Probably both the best Crash game ever made, and the best Playstation game as well.

[@AnthanKrufix]

For a game made so long ago this had some really awesome graphics. Usually when I look up a game I used to play I'm horrified about how I missremembered it looking. But this one is exactly like I remember.

[@ultimatesol]

old Neo Cortex always will be my fav ^^

[@teensysunflower9741]

Just finished playing the N-Sane Trilogy and it was so good to be back to my childhood which was indeed mostly Crash. Playing this boss fight again gave me chills and getting the fear I had when I was playing as a child, the fear of losing everything to Uka Uka and Cortex. Although I did enjoy the fight does amyone else have that feeling that the actual fight in the trilogy was a lil lackluster because of the lack of cool sound effects the old game had? I've experienced simillar vibes with N Tropy and Dingodile. Anyone else had a simillar experience?

[@MattTheHuman9]

Yeah I agree NST had worse sound effects compared to the PS1 games most of the time

[@tsonicboomplays9694]

Bro N tropy and Dingodile had it the least bad.. My boi N.Gin! He got completely screwed up by the remastering using the same performance like he was at the current point of time, He's only slightly off the deep end in these games.. but they treat him like a full on lunatic

[@jamesporter571]

They seriously need to bring this series back, it's been 8 YEARS since the last console game! Today's kids need to know how awesome the Crash Bandicoot series is! Everyone wants him back, even Naughty Dog wants him back! Like this comment if you agree.

[@hesarocker37]

james porter im 9 I wached crash when I was 2 the 2 one I grew up with crash never saw the first one till I was 6 that's when I started playing it I almost beat crash warped when was 8 but accidentally erased the memory I now crash I

[@thedirtybandit8785]

I bet you were pissed xD I actually literally just beat this boss xd

[@jamesporter571]

unfortunately that's kind of true, a lot of kids would be skeptical to retro stuff like the original Crash Bandicoot, Beast Wars, etc. On a plus side Crash is finally getting a remaster.

Mr krabs has changed a lot since 1999

[@jam9852]

I love how cortex complains about getting a huge headache yet almost immediately shakes it off as soon as uka uka tells the player that you screwed up and need to get all the gems. Makes me wonder why we didn't get a third ending where cortex and uka win if you go back to the same boss with no progress or at least a game over screen after you defeated cortex always giving you the chance to start off in the warp room with all your progress saved of course.

[@DamnZtar]

This ending leads to wrath of cortex, while the other one leads to Its about time

[@GiratinaofFury]

Anyone else noticed that Cortex is the only boss in Warped with his health bar on the bottom left and not the top left?

[@FoXMaSteR001]

what makes this better than the N. Sane trilogy is the sound of the lasers clashing against each other... you don't get that in the new version

if cortex was scaring people by saying booooooooo like a ghost he'd be perfect to portray a ghost like on halloween

[@Harkins1721]

[@ExtremeRulez13]

All those names in the credits and the ones I have to tip my hat to the most are Mark Mothersbaugh, Josh Mancell and Mutato Muzika for composing the legendary music in Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 and 3

[@JaceyAmaris]

Many people overlook this but I love how heavily it’s implied that Cortex cannot bring himself to give a shit about this conflict. He’s still stubborn enough to try and finish off Crash while he can but even that doesn’t work out and he immediately resorts to “maybe I should just fucking retire.” And at this point it’s clear he’s being puppeteered by Uka Uka, and this is now a matter of making sure he stays in his good books, so I wouldn’t blame him for being completely depressed at this stage.

[@michaelgrant6899]

Ahh, I remember as a kid getting the shit scared out of me by Uka Uka. Especially during this screen where I thought him and Cortex were going to the warp room to kill everyone.

[@Marmike91]

Clancy Brown was the perfect choice for both Cortex and Uka Uka. I wonder if he did them both in one take or seperate..

[@TheMOVIEMANIAC13]

haha he's Mr krabs too

[@AGKaiju]

Little orange delivery boy! God, that was perfect, the way it was delivered.

I like how it's heavily implied that Uka Uka actually takes control of Cortex when he binds to his face.

[@MeatEatingVegan777]

He was the most evil in the first crash game...............so after the first crash game, he slowly eased up and was less serious, and became more pathetic.....why couldnt he have stayed the way he was in crash 1....?

[@2010marioluigi]

Cortex in crash 1 was my favorite. but i liked his voice later on. He was a serious determined villain who wanted to KILL crash, well he lost that in mind over mutant. I believe cott stood more toward actual level gameplay while mom stood for, roaming. but crash 1 2 3 4 and twinsanity are good. Oh the days when cortex had that iconic serious look on his face and wasn't a comedy tool.

[@Kyuubi451]

Honestly....this is so much better than the remake. The N. Sane Trilogy fixed crash 1 and 2, but ruined Warped.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

it's incredible how the face looks real, this isn't motionpicture this is animated by GODS :D the voice of uka uka is just so epic, french, italien, spanish are epic too, everything is perfect in this game, probably the best game ever in my opinion ;) and the last battle is one of the best of the video game history!

[@knucklesfan8]

[@ElectricKidd121]

MultiReaper32 A mental breakdown from the severe headache of having Uka Uka constantly possess him, I think

[@ShadowDurza]

I thought is was that since crash had all of the crystals, he thought that all he had to do was beat crash and the world was his.

[@JamesnLollify]

I think that every time Cortex had Uka-Uka latch onto him gave him steadily growing brain damage throughout the game.

[@asianwankster]

this fight is so epic :D specially that music

[@luislopez3726]

My cousin played this game, and he once said that I looked like Dr. Cortex, perhaps it was because of his big head. I was like 6 six years old, and I always though Dr. Cortex looked like Serj Tankian from SOAD; the beard and the eyebrows, except for the head size.

[@aBoutin16]

For a girl, I love to play video games, and Crash is my favorite! I can never beat it though because the last level on Crash 3 would always freeze up on me. :(

[@HyperTailsX]

[@Radenovic]

Yeah it is. It also plays against Cortex in CB2. You can call it Cortex's tune/jam/whatever.

In the remastered version they made the explosion caused by aku aku and uka uka smaller

[@sunblade223]

I remember my Dad hearing Uka Uka "It's not over Bandicoot!" when me and my nephew beat the game on the regular ending and my Dad was being silly and was copying Uka Uka's laugh. My nephew thought it was funny too. This is also the first game where I found out about Clancy Brown who my parents loved as Brother Justin in the short lived HBO Series Carnivale and as the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob. I also like Clancy Brown as Destro in G.I. Joe Renegades and Silas from Transformers Prime.
