Top Ten Crossy Road Characters - A Retrospective Before The Launch Of Crossy Road+ On Apple Arcade

Just as I unlocked all 294 characters in Crossy Road on Apple TV, Hipster Whale decided to launch Crossy Road+ (Plus) on Apple Arcade. It's set to launch on October 8, 2021.
I had been planning to launch a list of the Top Ten Crossy Road characters, so now seems like the perfect time to launch this video.

The Dragon, Ultra Fighter, Specimen, Lucky Cat, and Epoch are some of my favorite characters

[@PhoticsTV]

The Lucky Cat has a leg missing. I didn't even notice that at first. Apparently, that's the favorite characters of one of the developers (Matt Hall).

[@Kyle-he1vq]

Daruma doll reminds me of mighty beanz and the way it moves is pretty satisfying, gonna have to be my number 1

[@PhoticsTV]

With the recent update, now your favorites matter. You can have up to 12 favorites. I have a team of nine, but not sure what the last three should be.🤔

[@RetroLiminal99444]

My Top 10 10. Choc Mallard (Mallard is just one of my faves) 9. Moon Cheese (comedy strikes when it dies) 8. Robot Dog 7. Maneki Neko (looks cute) 6. Pro Gamer 5. Fries Chicken (it’s just sooo random) 4. Kiwi (my favorite animal) 3. Rubber Chicken (lol) 2. Jelly Bear (I like characters in this game that have a dupe mechanic and it’s your job to keep them alive and it’s funny one of them dies because it’s like, Now you are on your own. But jelly bear takes number 2 because gummies are my favorite snack.) And for Number 1. Piñata (I just love how when it dies it explodes into candy and kids can be heard saying CANDY. Plus it’s hilarious and my uncle owns a piñata shop but he recently died due to covid. It’s a personal favorite.

[@PhoticsTV]

Very nice post! 🙂 I think I'll take another look at the Piñata. I don't have such fond memories of Piñatas. I was at a party once and they didn't know they had to fill this one with candy. So after hitting the Piñata for a longer than usual time, nothing happened. I still remember the cry, "No candy?!" Although, I do remember another party with a Piñata. Two kids were hitting it well past what was necessary. 😆

[@RetroLiminal99444]

@@PhoticsTV lol yea. Hitting piñatas are fun. It’s been awhile tho.

[@jamesclinton6257]

I got my bets score with the puppy

[@shaunw9270]

Alice , Sad Plant and Specimen 115 are my favourites 😊

[@PhoticsTV]

I can see Alice, even Specimen 115, they're cute - but why the Sad Plant?! 😄 I do like the Sad Plant though. 🙂

[@shaunw9270]

@@PhoticsTV I'm not sure but , it's easy on the eyes and I got my highest score with Sad Plant ! 😊 Specimen 115 is quick and I like the way Alice goes big & small like she should 😅

[@kimdavid3084]

I am pretty sure every characters have same hitbox, so playing bigger characters can help you since you will be more cautious. 8:15

[@PhoticsTV]

Well, here's an experiment. Play as the T-Rex and then play as the Tooth Brush, do you feel a difference. The toothbrush feels way more nimble to me. Although, the Tooth Brush doesn't shake the screen periodically, so that helps too. 😄

[@PhoticsTV]

I revisited this issue. I played back some Crossy Road hits in slow motion / frame-by-frame… and it did look like the character hit box is just a tiny square in the middle… similar to the size of the Toothbrush… but enemies like the Roomba seem to have hit boxes to match their size. It's nice to know exactly where that hit box is though. With characters like the T-Rex, it's hard to know where's the center. With the Toothbrush, the danger zone is known.

[@fiene.goudswaard]

This is my top 10! 10. Crab: I love crabs!! Glad it came in the game! 9. Kiwi: it’s so cute! 🥰 8. Piffle: such a unique environment, I love it! 7. Chicken: the ultimate classic! 6. Dinosaur chicken: I LOVE the dinosaur area, and the chicken has to be my fav. I mean come on! it looks so cute in its lil costume🥺 5. Moon rock: same reasons as you explained in the vid 4. Gifty: it looks so funny xD 3. The prince of all cosmos: it helped me get so many secret characters that I began loving him 2. Katamari chicken: It looks so cute and I LOVE the music 💕 1. Polar bear: it’s RIDICULOUSLY OP, NOTHING ELSE TO SAY

[@PhoticsTV]

Wow, that's a very different list. 😄 How's the Polar Bear over powered? 🤔 There's a massive coin boost for completing the cleanup quests. But after that, isn't it just a normal character? I think over time, the Cheerleader would get more coins.

[@fiene.goudswaard]

@@PhoticsTV oh I don’t have the cheerleader character. I always thought the polar bear earned you the most coins..? Oh and yes I only mean overpowered by coins, not anything else. But yeah, I just love coin boosts way too much that it’s my favorite lmao

[@sadiebug344]

How do you get all the secret characters for the prince of all cosmos? I’ve got the king of all cosmos, but what else and how do you get them?

[@landermortier2245]

Can you make a vid about how yo get al secret characters because alot of the secret ones are not in any vids thanks

[@PhoticsTV]

If you didn't see the reply in the other conversation, here's a link to a very good website about Crossy Road… crossyroad.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Rider …that explains how to unlock the Dragon Rider. Other character information can be found on that site too.

[@theholygamer969]

My personal favorite is a two-way tie between the Tree Frog and Swamp Frog. I always loved Frogger ever since I played Swampy's Revenge, and this is already a Frogger successor, which, incidentally, used the Swamp Frog as a test model during the early development builds. Embrace the F r o g g e .

[@johnbrown-jd7od]

what's that character between tourist and michael boom and how do I unlock? thanks!

[@johnbrown-jd7od]

I just found out it's called dragon rider

[@PhoticsTV]

@@johnbrown-jd7od That's right, she's the “Dragon Rider” and the other related one is the “Snow King”. They're spoofs of characters from Game of Thrones.

[@landermortier2245]

Thanks i've been looking gor ages to get this one but there is no vid about it anywhere

[@landermortier2245]

How do you get it

[@PhoticsTV]

@@landermortier2245 If you're trying to unlock the Dragon Rider, you need the Snow King first. He's tough to unlock because you need tokens to unlock him. I kept playing the Daily Challenge (Pecking Order) until the Snow King was unlocked. This took many days, as I didn't watch any ads to get more tokens. You need to be in the top 10 to get tokens. 1st - 50 Tokens 2nd - 45 Tokens 3rd - 40 Tokens 4th - 35 Tokens 5th - 30 Tokens 6th - 25 Tokens 7th - 20 Tokens 8th - 15 Tokens 9th - 10 Tokens 10th - 5 Tokens But since it seems to unlock the characters randomly, you could win first place and get only 5 tokens, because the character randomly chosen to be unlocked has 95 out of 100 tokens already. In other words, it's tough! If you're still having trouble unlocking the Dragon Rider, here's a link to a very good website about Crossy Road… crossyroad.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Rider

[@ABHISHEKYADAV-el7pt]

Well pro gamer is my favourite 😂😂 when I was small my brother just used to play with the pro gamer the commentary used to kill by laughing 😂 😂😂

[@PhoticsTV]

Pro Gamer made the Top Ten. I don't play the character all the time, as it gets repetitive, but that's a funny character. 😄

[@itsmax2899]

Chicken for sure

[@PhoticsTV]

The Chicken is basically the star of the game. It's even on the app icon. The problem with the Chicken is that there are so many different versions. So, then which one is the best? Space Chicken? Hipster Chicken? Pac-Chicken? But if you mean “Chicken” as in all versions, where it's still just the basic chicken in different costumes, that is tough to beat. 😄

[@디데85]

As a Korean person, I can understand rest of voice lines which announcer says in pro gamer character. ex)If you go straight forward too fast and the game is over, the announcer will say 'Yup- He crossed the road too fast. That's too bad!'.

[@PhoticsTV]

I tried Korean-to-English again with Apple's translate app. It didn't seem to work right. 😄

@photics TV i am quite sad that you didn’t put EPOCH in there 😢

[@PhoticsTV]

EPOCH is good, but I like the Mad Wizard more. 🤷🏻‍♂ Although, it's the same story with all those shooting characters. It would be a lot more fun if they could actually destroy the obstacles.

[@iilm2004]

I would have put the penguin and the beaver in higher lists for varying the playability.

[@PhoticsTV]

Wow, I forgot about Bashy Beaver. I don't like those two gaming modes though. It feels too detached from the main game. Perhaps Slippy Penguin and Bashy Beaver should be part of the Pecking Order. I might enjoy those two gaming modes more if they showed up randomly in the competition.

[@iilm2004]

@@PhoticsTV I like they vary the gameplay so it isn't too repetitive.

[@Beachybird33344]

My fav is flat eric,Tyrannosaurus rex,yeti,hipster whale,dragon,all the chickens,slippy penguin,android robot,piggy bank, and pacman (I have more favorites than that)

[@PhoticsTV]

I was thinking the Android Robot could be a good April Fools Day character on Apple devices. 😄 I don't have the Android Robot because I mainly play on Apple TV.

[@Beachybird33344]

The map of the toothbrush is easier

[@PhoticsTV]

That's where I got my best score. No rivers means no logs or lily pads. With the update, the Toothbrush is now one of my top 12 favorites.

[@jerry17391]

Daddy character is can grind coin more more Top ten is daddy character

[@PhoticsTV]

That's a fun Crossy Road character… or characters. 😄 …but “Daddy” is an average coin collector. I tested the character out using the logic mentioned in this video… kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWOwYZl-lsh6d7M …and I got scores of… 13, 14, 13, 17, 14. That's pretty normal, to kinda below average. The Cheerleader is much better at farming coins.

@@PhoticsTV ok

In my opinion psy is better at highscore but since you dont have it makes sense

Psy is a different mode though, no? I have a higher score with Ad Fighter than the Tooth Brush, but that score is in a different category.

I think the clown is the best

There are two other characters relating to the Flea and Toothbrush, Onigiri and Candy Corn.

Those are tiny characters.

@@PhoticsTV is flea the smallest in the game?

[@jamesclinton6257]

on terms of overall size and not mass

@@jamesclinton6257 I think by volume, the Flea is smaller than the toothbrush. But on ground coverage, the toothbrush takes up less space. There's a comparison in the video.

Top 5 Worst Crossy Road Characters

[@PhoticsTV]

There are lots of characters that I simply don't play. I especially don't like these three… • Too Much Candy • Gingerbread Man • Merlady I thought about making a video about that, but it seemed too negative. HA HA! 😄

[@paulsh2071]

@@PhoticsTV why don't you like those I like all of them a lot I can see it's your opinion but might explaining why you don't like them?

[@PhoticsTV]

@@paulsh2071 I don't like the “Too Much Candy” character because his random body movements are distracting. He's in pain. Those noises are annoying. Even if he was foolish enough to overeat, his parents should seek medical attention, not let him run in traffic. It's even worse with the Gingerbread Man, who sounds quite sinister. I don't relate to a mischievous cookie. Even in general, I don't like anthropomorphized gingerbread cookies. I like Kit Kats, Toffifee, or even Mallomars. Cookies are meant to be eaten, not disrupt the flow of traffic. As for the Merlady, I don't like her sounds either, but it's even worse than that with her. She's being rude to potential suiters, turning them into frogs - why? She should settle down with a nice Merman and make lots of Merpeople. 😄
