I never had a PlayStation 1 but even I know that opening is iconic.

It is insane how a TAS speedrun of a party game with 28 minigames is 5 hours long!

[@glukon69]

what a banger TAS, cant wait to watch this full thing!

[@Fenyx_Birb]

*oh my god it actually does take that long-*

[@ThePageofRage]

Uh oh, it's time for a Caddicarus BOUNS ROUND!

[@chunzprocessor]

Omg. I never even thought somebody makes a TAS for this game. Just wow!

Leave poor Caddicarus alone man! 😭

[@Spikechive]

I mean it is a 2021 TAS that got revived from the grave to get accepted and published in 2024.

[@soulsolis3096]

@@Spikechive Oh, Okay, but this was published today, so I wanted to say it now 😅

[@DontmindtheTASguy]

⁠@@SpikechiveWhy wasn’t it accepted in 2021?

[@InsertNameHRM]

@@DontmindtheTASguy There was a dispute over the lenght of the game, as well as how the feedback the TASVideos forums went over there (calling it not entertaining enough to be considered a run worth of being published normally). It only managed to get it in nowadays because the whole vault system was lifted, as well as one of the moderators being closely affiliated with the Crash community allowed this run to be published despite the previous backlash.

[@tuxedothemagnificent6738]

​​@@InsertNameHRM Ironic for a Speedrun community that was used soley to push the game to it's limits started to deny games over length or entertainment. Ah yes, we all sure loved 1 second Monopoly and Clue runs...

[@Cozyrazu]

Didnt expect to be that extremely repetitive and looong jeez and the balance, i have no words.

[@wilbo_baggins]

Yea. This game is tedious to complete and incredibly unfair and brutal.

[@sterilepancake]

It's sort of funny to see how many people are surprised at how long and tedious this game is in full. Parts of this game are RNG heavy, game is extremely repetitive (you literally play the same level like 50 times, and most of these levels are reskins of a particular minigame), and some of the challenges for 200% are just outright stupid. Also, if you fail one of the challenges that require 3 consecutive wins, you have to start the challenge over. Great TAS. Love seeing this game pop up again. It's a very entertaining game to watch speedruns of.

[@tuxedothemagnificent6738]

You forgot the requirements for 201%. For those that don't know, Single Player's max % is 200, but Co-op has one final pvp battle at the end for that extra %. So in short, if you don't have anyone to play this long game with, then you won't get that last number without cheating.

[@craigelbagel0012]

Thanks!

[@Trimint123]

Here's a protip: Do not pick Tiny Tiger and Koala Kong in Adventure Mode if you wanna play this game. I guarantee you, you will not have an issue in Tank Wars minigames, especially Swamp Fox.

[@warmpianist]

Also important pro tip: don't pick Brio and Cortex. It is borderline impossible in polar bear stages (I'm talking to you Melt Panic), especially your opponent is Crash Coco Dingodile and that bleeping monkey that ruined me more than 100 times.

[@clairecaldwell1611]

protip do not play crash bash

[@craigelbagel0012]

Do not pick or Do pick? Because Tiny and Kong have a stronger projectile than the other characters. Worst in Tanks are the bandicoots as their projectile lasts forever and is slow, so if you miss your shot, you won’t be able to shoot for a while.

[@Trimint123]

​@@craigelbagel0012 I promise you, Swamp Fox will ruin your day if you pick Tiny and Koala.

[@itzelitemn]

@@Trimint123this is a completely wrong statement 😂 Kong is the best option for 200% in general due to the set ai you get in both normal levels and relics while tiny has it harder with cortex as an ai in swamp fox. Kong and tiny will always be the best. the stats / data mining say it all. But really be my guest if you want to try and beat this game 200% with a bandicoot or a hybrid 😈

[@RTheStoryteller7]

i was wondering if they gonna do all blocks Pogo-a-Gogo Crystal, and holy shit they actually did it

[@craigelbagel0012]

Quite lucky and very precise. In previous TAS attempts I haven’t gotten it. Was stoked when I did it.

[@comatek5101]

Congrats and thanks to Craigelbagel001 for optimise 5h TAS 😮

[@CarlosPlata]

Why is PERFECT play still five hours long?

[@simiramisjesus8970]

200%?!?! HOW IS 2025?!??!?!!??!??!?!??!?

[@simiramisjesus8970]

it isnt 2025, it is 2024. although, i wish it was 2021

[@OveliaCassiel]

Sorry, what does it mean by no memory manipupation?

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

Basically, there is a glitch called memory manipulation where you can go out of bounds on the name screen in the save menu. This allows you to manipulate the game’s memory (or in other words, rewrite the game’s code within the game) which can lead to all sorts of insane results. Some practical uses for the glitch would be giving yourself all the collectables or warping yourself to the end credits. This run does not perform memory manipulation so it actually has to play through the whole game.

Lol. Lmao, even.

time to bring out the top whatever number reasons this TAS makes no sense whatsoever

Watch the game end glitch TAS of Bash if you want less sense in less time.

[@craigelbagel0012]

@@tuxedothemagnificent6738 I studied maths and love numbers, so I take mild enjoyment in reaching numbers that are recognisable and some people find funny. It's also another way to make TASing this game more bearable.
