Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled - The Origins of Hasty (Who Is He?)

[@JoshawattGaming]

A rumor that became an actual character inspired by the urban legend. Reminds me of Ermac in the Mortal Kombat franchise.

[@adrianBtabares]

Hasty and Fake Crash Two characters born by accident xD

[@banjofan4204]

Adrián B. Tabares Fake Crash was based on a Bootleg Japanese Crash Bandicoot Plush

[@adrianBtabares]

@@banjofan4204 I mean that those characters never were planned, but ended up entering on the Crash universe by, as i said, accident xD

[@michaelmoss9198]

The first time I saw Fake Crash was from the N Sane Trilogy

[@joshcoy6748]

Is that bad, it is actually hilarious in my opinion.

[@Mucrush]

Hasty's creation story has got to be the most exciting. And the fact he's just officially a new character, all because of a silly mistake and rumor...

[@deoxysandmew2162]

Whoever made the rumor... gotta thank them with the pat on the back and a cookie. Without that person spreading it and all... this would not have exist otherwise. :3

[@georgemccartney8906]

Really interesting to hear a more in-depth origin story of this character's conception. If I were to comment a suggestion for any future videos, perhaps more origin stories for other obscure characters like Yaya Panda or something. All I gathered about her from the wiki is that Cortex deforested her bamboo forest habitat and that she *might* be good friends with Coco

[@Ghst-kr2uk]

She is from nitro kart 2

[@nebuchadnezzar8683]

Hope to still see Hasty more outside of racing spin-offs cause eh truyl looks like an awesome allie!

[@dillongeorge5866]

Joey Margolian maybe he can be a Pilot that takes Crash to different places in a plane or something

[@BassiKun99]

Same for The Nitro Squad and Yaya! Rilla Roo and Koala Kong making more comebacks would also be pretty rad.

[@wrestlingwombat3821]

Joey Margolian maybe if there’s some pilot or flying levels in a new crash game, they could use hasty

[@nifinland]

If Hasty appears in future Crash games, he feels like he should be the series' version of Funky Kong who can take Crash to different locations with a plane.

[@BassiKun99]

@@nifinland Heh, funnly enough, he gave me a Funky Kong vibe the moment I saw him for some reason.

[@TammyTwilightRose]

Hasty, The man, The myth, The LEGEND! I still remember Trippos concept art all those years ago.

[@IanRB26]

You mean The MOOSE, The Myth, The Legend! 😂

[@petereckmann3896]

I think Hasty should have a legendary skin based on his original design

[@knightpinshine9285]

Well done sir, now everyone is properly educated about the unique history leading to Hasty's creation. I like how the Activision patches are like Diddy Kong's Nintendo label cap, in a sense.

[@Rizonyoutube]

He have a great smile😁

[@KingGargantuas]

Makes ya' wander what other brand new characters this game will introduce, because let me tell ya', I'm excited to see what Beenox cooks up!

[@jennifergriel861]

King Gargantuas I want to see them cook up something as a reference/homage/parody/“Take That, Scrappy!” to the Titan era.

[@tresheppard8942]

I like Hasty. Because he's a brand new character of Crash Bandicoot series. 🙂

[@LaughOLott]

Wow.. I love that Beenox did this even more now! They seem to be really having fun with the crash Universe! It’s as if this game is being made by the fandom itself!

[@joshcoy6748]

True, they turned an inanimate object from a joking reddit post into a reality!

[@LordTchernobog]

You expected Fasty... But it was me, HASTY!

[@jacobduhthrowbak3226]

Ah those old Activision games are where those funky retro stickers came from too, that makes so much sense! Very interesting video my friend, CTR is one of my favorite games ever so I love catching up on it's lore. Keep it up!

[@bubby-fi9mc]

The fact that Beenox went the extra level to include a character from an urban legend from the 90s that only a small portion of the CTR fandom had heard of just shows just how dedicated they are to representing the entire Crash Bandicoot franchise. It's so awesome.

[@jackiexkh]

TBH I’m glad they renamed him Hasty. I think “Fasty” just sounds dumb.

[@DBZWarrior1]

Agreed

[@joeldean2485]

Jackie-XKH I still think Trippo sounds cooler 😂

[@jackiexkh]

Walter Clements I mean, Trippo IS a cool name, but that name clearly wouldn’t work for Hasty because 1. Hasty is now a Moose, not a hippo. 2. Much like the original character design itself, the name Trippo is not owned by Activision.

[@Fox8639Primed]

So basically, we have a new character based off of a myth or misunderstanding of a character that was never intended for CTR in the first place.🤔 That character is now one of my favorites in the game. Hasty is very fun to play as plus being a Canadian moose earns him points in my eyes.🙂👏👌

[@BrennySpain]

There were Easter eggs on hasty’s jacket! Whoa! Just i’m blown away! Honestly...

[@ShoryukenFighter77]

It's because of stuff like this, that makes me love the Crash series as a whole. (The Characters, the Lore, the Games, etc.) ^_^

[@MrZongalito]

Sadly, now some people are forcing a fake rumor that a new trophy girl was discovered named cindy and that she was the trophy girl for nitro oxide and n tropy

[@CanadianGuyEh]

Yea I've seen this going around

[@ThatGirl2147]

Perhaps my favorite nod to the old legend of Fasty is how, in the Winter Festival CTRTV Announcement, when he first shows his face, Hasty says "Were you waiting for me?"

[@DoubleDuck_]

They should definitely make a skin for hasty with fasty's clothes

[@jeremyriley1238]

They could, but it could spark a lawsuit if they did.

[@kidsIIIII009]

It will become Lumpy from Happy Tree Friends without antlers if there is

[@NoMadKid]

That's why i love Crash and Mortal Kombat (i know polar opposite) they acknowledge glitch/unreleased characters. For example with Scarlet being a code/glitch but now she has a full role and personality.

[@OrbitalDropper]

I have a new grand prix idea! Restaurant grand prix! Characters are Willie wumpa cheeks and Rusty walrus. Karts:I dont know but wheels are tomato and cucumber wheels.Skins:Chef crash? But i know avain a new August grand prix. Back to School! Skins:Teacher N.Gin?

[@bobafett4265]

Madame Amberly as a character for a school grand prix, also a restaurant grand prix staring Rusty Walrus and Willie Wumpa Cheeks would be cool, I could see the intro with Rusty trying to chase down Willie in an attempt to make a meal out of him. XD

[@OrbitalDropper]

Thanks!

[@andrearaucci7008]

Mister Action I have Grand Prix idea avallar Grand Prix with elora Bianca ripto and the sorcerers and twinsanity Grand Prix rusty walrus madame amberly farmer ernest and evil twins

[@OrbitalDropper]

Good idea.

[@vithepiltoverenforcer8778]

Here’s me, still wondering why Elora never made it into CTR: Nitro Fueled.

[@danieldishon688]

Could you explore King Chicken some? Hes new, has a really hard means of unlocking him compared to most characters, and the game is littered with similar chickens in the background. However when hes introduced both Chic and Stew who are chickens themselves barely acknowledge him in the grand prix intro, and just quietly put a crown on his head for seemingly no reason. Is there any unspoken lore out their to dig for when it comes to this brand new character that just seems like a regular chicken with a crown on his head?

[@TheMoonRover]

Chickens are something of a running joke in the later Crash games, for instance in Crash Twinsanity certain puzzles require you to scare chickens towards Nitro crates in order to detonate them, and playing co-op mode in Mind Over Mutant allows you to control Aku Aku and throw chickens as a weapon. Crash Tag Team Racing features them most prominently though. It has a number of short joke cutscenes, many of which involve Crash dying in weird ways, and a significant number of which feature chickens. There are also chicken challenges, which require you to run around the platforming areas collecting chickens as fast as possible. Some idle animations involve chickens, and of course they're used as a powerup equivalent to the bowling bomb. CTR Nitro-Fueled also has chickens hidden in the scenery of most (if not all) tracks. I imagine it's simply a reference to all that.

[@JoakoQuesada]

@@TheMoonRover just a little note: in the co-op mode from Mind over mutant you don't control Aku Aku, you control a mask called Crash mask

[@baileybunaugh]

I think (and hope) Hasty will probably be in future Crash games. These “the history of” videos are great, I’ve learned a lot about Crash’s legacy, even as a diehard fan. It makes me want to dig for other characters - is there any info on Zem and Zam from CNK, or are they just Oxide’s cronies just because?

[@LordTchernobog]

I assume they filler racers to fill all racers due to adventure mode.

[@jackspan4926]

Ok, thats the real life story behind his creation, but whats his origin ingame? We know nothing about his actual story...

[@clownymoosebean]

Maybe he's a professional stunt pilot? Or maybe he's like Launchpad McQuack, but in moose form. Whatever the case, he's clearly an aviator with experience piloting a myriad of flying machines, if his patches are accurate indicators. Having Aku Aku as his guardian mask would suggest he's a good guy. Hopefully the next crash game will fill in some gaps, not just for him, but the other characters as well.

[@SeanWheeler100]

We'll have to wait for him to show up in another Crash game.

[@jackspan4926]

@@SeanWheeler100 they could do another comic focused on him, or at least post his background somewhere...

[@Ghst-kr2uk]

Does that really matter? We don’t know anything about Rilla Roo either.

[@jackspan4926]

@@Ghst-kr2uk yeah, we do. We know he was created by nitrus brio alongside dingodile, but was considered a failed experiment, thats why brio didnt used him to try stop crash and Cortex on Cortex Strikes Back. Thats in the comics.

[@LittleLexi24]

One of the next Grand Prix could be set in the 10th Dimension an feature Evil Crash & the Evil Twins as racers

[@kovencartoons]

Thank you! I was trying find a video on Hasty a few weeks back with no luck.

He’s better than Hyper Sonic and that’s all the reasons I need to play him

Hyper Sonic: am I a joke to you?

[@nifinland]

Funny thing is that at first I thought Roger Craig Smith voices Hasty but then Robbie Daymond himself confirmed that he voices this guy.

[@Manectrix2000]

Another reference to Fasty was that in the Winter event, the Relic Gold Pain Job provides a Nitro Boost!

[@TheGuru6447]

To this day I still find hasty absolutely adorable

[@vgamissos5983]

I am pretty sure king Chicken is actually the chicken from cttr in the hub world

[@potamus9973]

I really would have preferred if Hasty stayed as a Hippo, but it doesn’t matter because either way we got an awesome and hilarious character who fits perfectly into the Crash universe. *still waiting for a Hippo character in Nitro Fueled though...*

[@SergeyDzakhoev]

I kinda have a theory that Beenox just decided to introduce all of these characters because most of them are gonna appear in a new Crash Bandicoot game (and it would be awesome!!) That could be a pretty big game and an incredible comeback (not as a remaster but as a completely new game! And Hasty might be a playable character for some avia levels (cause why not haha)

[@timothybimoseto]

Cool story about Haisty😊 and I like your KZbin channel and videos. 😃👍

[@red5robb1]

i never heard of him until you started talking about him on this channel. and ive been playing CTR since it released in the late 90s

[@furn_evergreen7351]

imagine if he was actually a new Spyro character for the upcoming game

[@colleenglanville8293]

"Move Over Reindeer, There's A High-Flying Moose On The Scene." Santa's reindeer are shook! 😂😂😂

[@ShadwSonic]

Me, I'm just trying to figure out the in-universe origins... Remember, the entire reason these human/animal hybrids came into being was Cortex experimenting in an Australia-like environment. Every such animal, therefore, has fit into that environment, from Koalas to Dingos, Potoroos to Opossums, and of course Bandicoots. A hippo _might_ have fit, but a moose? Now, if no explanation is given, I COULD just say he's from Sonic's or Sly's world (crossed those and many others with Crash for a long time), but I'd rather have something more... official?

[@clownymoosebean]

Maybe he was created by someone else? Brio is credited as being the one who created the evolvo-ray, maybe he had some side projects? Maybe N.Gin has had a little bit of fun in his spare time behind Cortex's back as well. Or maybe Crash exists in a world filled with evil scientists and mutated critters running amok, not unlike the Sonic world. It's all very fascinating to think about.

[@SeanWheeler100]

He could be a Von Clutch creation like Pasadena, Willie, Chick and Stew.

[@JoakoQuesada]

@@SeanWheeler100 Von clutch is not a scientist

[@SeanWheeler100]

@@JoakoQuesada But he's a Nazi cyborg fanboy. He could have gotten his own Evolvo-Ray. If he didn't then where did Pasadena, Willie, Chick and Stew come from? Cortex met them for the first time in Crash Tag Team Racing so we know they are not Cortex's creations. If Brio created them, who else has Brio created that Cortex didn't know about? Okay, I guess there are other characters with unknown creators like Viscount. But Von Clutch ticks off enough German stereotypes to be a scientist, even if he doesn't go by Doctor. He probably has an Evolvo-Ray stashed away somewhere in an underground lab beneath the park.

[@ShadwSonic]

Von Clutch doing this sort of thing makes a lot of sense actually. Pasadena does seem to have a level of loyalty to him that's possibly of familial bonds, and the guy is a massive Crash fanboy (not only does he have all his games, but knows Cortex's middle name was Periwinkle. WE didn't know that fact before CTTR!). Between that and his inherent intellect from building his Motorworld, I could buy him reverse-engineering the Evolvo-Ray out of sheer fan appreciation. However... while that explains the CTTR crowd, I don't think those that came after can be explained similarly. We'd have heard if he was still expanding his theme park, right? And without such expansions, specifically importing a panda or moose doesn't make sense.

[@treythesupremeijij5]

I wonder what Fasty looked like.

[@wootmasterzorsx]

It's really interesting to have a good, in depth look at the context behind Hasty's creation, as I've heard all of this story before, but never to this extent. And I also gotta wonder if Hasty's ever gonna show up in the franchise outside of CTR Nitro Fueled. Hasty has a fun personality and design, and it'd be a shame if he was created and just left to sit on the sidelines after the racing's done and Crash goes back to platforming.

[@andreblueboy6019]

Hasty to me is a really cool character! For being new to the series I love this guy! ^^

[@Little_Tree_Dude]

It's amazing the level of attention to Crash's history the devs have. Is honestly insane.

[@sebastiankulche]

Someone can do a remake of the original design to look like Nitro Fueled graphics and compare to the original Hasty? ;)

[@alanadamoondemon4ever]

[@gamerhero9559]

I recently got him in the game, he's an cool character in the game. I wonder when we have new-but-not-really-new characters in CTRNF?

[@Opre010]

Could you make a video like this, talking about the origins of king chicken? About who he really is and his background?

Dont know if that is a joke or not. He has no backstory. It is just a regular Chicken, Stew Put a little crown on xD

[@tekkaikenmega509]

Possible characters you haven't mentioned yet The elementals Titan the elder dragon Possibly Jak and daxter DLC considering naughty dog also introduced those characters but sony owns jak and daxter and Activision owns crash and spyro so it would most likely have to be DLC but since naughty dog was responsible for crash and Jak it could happen

I haven't played a Crash game in years and just got CTR over Christmas and am really enjoying it. Could you do a video explaining any notable skin/color variation for the roster that are references to stuff? I assume more of the skins/color variations are just for fun with no reference but from someone with almost no background knowledge on Spyro or crash, it would be nice to know any easter eggs.

[@pixelpawzgaming]

Woot hats 🎩 off to Bob Rafei as had no idea he did the Ctr concept alongside Charles Zembillas.

[@SetsunaTheFandom]

The first time I saw the original Hasty (or Fasty, or Trippo) the bomber jacket he wore reminds me of Terry Bogard's Garou: Mark of the Wolves jacket a little bit. 👀

[@colleenglanville8293]

"Who Is Hasty?" To make things short...A moose! 😀

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

So let me guess this straight Hasty is inspired by a character named Fasty who is originally going to be the mascot for trippo and Fasty is a legend which inspires Hasty

[@BrennySpain]

I remember Charles zembillas. I think vtnvivi did a video talking about him ages ago. But that he didn’t get credit for Spyro at all! Really sad I think.

I laughed more than I should have lol, but I get where he's coming from, because Hasty was made way before this game came out, but dew to some problems he wasn't existent until now in Crash Team Racing! 😄😁👍

[@GreenMask-XRGM-27]

Hasty is really a pilot in command and his line "absolute ceiling" when jumping means the maximum density altitude an aircraft can reach under a set of conditions, as determined by its flight envelope according to google search. Hasty can really be a best pilot to the Crash Bandicoot family!

[@VixYW]

...... River Raid Remake with Hasty as the MC? No? That would be cool tho.

[@Chun-believable]

I didn't care about him when he was first revealed. I just remember going "who the hell?", because I was all about Yaya Panda. However after using him once, I adore him now too. He's so cool.

[@ashleycovell9416]

What's not to say that Hasty wasn't designed for the next Crash/Spyro game, and they were testing how people would react to him in CTR

[@grayfox4819]

A bit like Morpho Knight from Kirby Star Allies of which his design is based on the Meta Knight's beta design. Although Hasty's origins are more complicated.
