"I'm going to look at Crash Purple and Spyro Orange together in one video." Oh no, Johnny, don't do that to yourself.

[@saxor96]

I found Crash Purple at least entertaining with a chunk of good minigames overall. Having classic gameplay (even if it's just for hub and challenge purposes) and boxes in the minigames made it decent. Spyro Orange on the other hand... the hub worlds don't work with spyro's gameplay, the music is way worse and doesn't fit the levels and minigames at all, and you are required to do hard modes in order to go for the true ending.

The Huge Adventure is a great game imo. A lot of people seem to praise N Tranced but...nah. It's not as good. It's like handheld version of WoC. Lots of gimmicks, barely any actual Crash platforming.

[@TheNawaf258]

Thelonelygoomba ladies and gentlemen he’s here

[@MSCLeap75]

Most people regard N Tranced as the best of the two. And barely any actual Crash platforming? That's far from true. If people actually count the amount of platforming stages compared to gimmicks, there's always a lot more time spent on platforming than on gimmicks in Warped, WOC, & especially Ntranced. Crash isn't always about just platforming, he's about the hybrid action of platforming and daredevil riding things to the end of linear stages. That was always is thing since Crash 2.

[@staticshock4239]

I actually have quite the history with crash bandicoot the huge adventure. That was my first crash game I've ever played and I truly enjoyed it It's a pretty beefy game that's both challenging and fun My favorite part of the game is that the music is really nice for the gba. This game though loves to reuse assets and stages basically these 6 Jungle, sewer, blimp, space, and ice cave. I also remember getting scared trying to save the game because I'd always delete it by mistake.

[@robraze]

1:58 Alright Johnny, I’ll be more patient for that Spyro Marathon.

[@Elfman126]

My favourite Crash Bandicoot game is actually Crash Bandicoot 2 N-Tranced. I just love the levels,music,bosses and character choices they did to like N Tropy as the main bad guy along with N Trance and Uka Uka instead of Cortex this time round. Also it was my first time experiencing a Crash game back in 2005 when I started gaming so I was immediately hooked into the franchise and it's great characters. Especially Fake Crash, my favourite of the Crash series along with Isabella,Coco and Crash himself plus others. 👍

14:06 I like to imagine Uka Uka made a deal with Emperor Velo XXVII ("a real adversary") to team up and take over Earth as equal demigods, but Velo backstabbed him by threatening to destroy Earth completely, and the events of "Crash Nitro Kart" ensued. Yeah, it's really stupid, but it's better than nothing.

[@deoxysandmew2162]

Fake Crash technically IS NOT evil. He was always neutral to start with, he was just brainwashed like the rest of the marsupials. We only associate Fake Crash with being evil, because of in Crash Team Racing, he had Uka Uka mask. Which a fun fact: Crash Bash Japanese Version HAS an unlockable Fake Crash, which appears BELOW both Good Team and Evil Team characters in his own "grey zone" proving, that he is Neutral in a lot of his appearances.

[@dededeletethis9940]

Yeah, fake crash is pretty much just minding his business. Where does he come from? Doesn't matter, he's fake crash. Why does he look so similar to crash? Doesn't matter, he's fake crash. What is his actual name? Doesn't matter, he's fake crash. People only see him as evil because they associate twins with evil, as the evil twin is a pretty popular trope in media.

[@deoxysandmew2162]

@@dededeletethis9940 Design origins are obviously taken from that badly made crash plushie. As for in-game origin, in N.tranced. he's been pulled from an alternate dimension. Not sure which however... But its the same shtick like with evil crash. He is part of 10th dimension, and just like Crash 4: its about time, we will see things in other dimensions like 11th one. Its hella coincidence that when crash was meant to be warped along with Coco and Crunch, they pulled ANOTHER crash from different dimesion. The chances are insanely slim lol

[@dededeletethis9940]

@@deoxysandmew2162 i know about his out-of-game origins, but i think you got something wrong with his in-game origin. He's not from an alternate universe, never was. He's always appeared in the main dimension, like in crash 3 and ctr.

[@deoxysandmew2162]

@@dededeletethis9940 Actually no. Listen, when N.Tropy failed to grab Crash through his time and space vortex, where else he could have grabbed Fake crash from?! The only explanation is that he was warped from a different dimension through that TIME AND SPACE vortex. At first, i thought Fake Crash was an incomplete warp anomaly created by this time&space vortex, which is why Fake crash copied everything Crash did. As in, being your literal failed clone. But no, apparently not, he was just simply dragged from an alternate dimension, when real crash was pulled back to safety thanks to Aku Aku.

[@dededeletethis9940]

@@deoxysandmew2162 he could've simply grabbed fake crash from a different place in the main dimension. Also, him being from another dimension contradicts all these other games that don't involve any sort of dimensional travel and yet feature fake crash.
