[WORLD RECORD] Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex 106% Speedrun in

[@GhostBusters-wb4un]

I genuinely love this game.

[@bloomallcaps]

Even the most 7/10 game ever will have loyal fans its beautiful to see, good run!

[@firstmaple]

actually insane run 👀

[@Papermaker.]

Yesterday I get all the platinum relics in this, but how you mastered the game is really incredible. Congratulations for your achievement. 👍 Greetings🇩🇪

[@Joshua_Quinzel_Isley]

Incredible, just incredible! At this point, 2:10/sub 2:11 might actually be somewhat possible, might. For now the deed is done, as I have been blessed with quite a few wonderful current world record full completion runs of Crash Bandicoot this holiday season. Also, a 106% run on GameCube TWOC sounds like a pretty interesting sub goal.

[@_McHooper]

If only you were there to see it 👀

[@christaylor86]

My god I've only just watched the first level hut you're insanely skilled. Brilliant job!

[@GlitchanBlack]

Any% with Glitches is all that remains... Inevitable Wrath of Cortex leaderboard sweep aside, Merry Christmas and congrats on the WR! I decided to comment once I found out the news, and I might watch it later - kinda busy working on my own big project at the moment that may or may not involve a similarly commonly-believed-to-be-underrated game. ;) Can't wait to find out about the sub-2 hours & ten!

[@_McHooper]

Thank you! It may be hard to believe but I don’t intend on taking any% any time soon. The category is extremely volatile with one dupe in particular proving to just kill any enjoyment for me, but if I tried, I could easily get a 46. Maybe one day, but that’s only if I truly feel motivated.

[@mackenroll6914]

Beautifully executed

[@scottnomates-]

Watching you do this effortlessly is awesome

[@_McHooper]

Ironically, the amount of effort I put into not messing up certain things was a lot.

[@Kuganurio1994]

Great run. Attempted to play this game a few years ago already, but dropped it somehwere in Warp 2 or 3 because it was so aggravatingly sluggish and floaty compared to the OG Crash Trilogy. Gave it another shot recently though and managed to get to 106%. Still probably not gonna play it again :'D I laughed my ass off at 23:19 - 23:23. That was such a visceral and honest realization. Seriously, just surviving in these flying levels is the most difficult part. Friggin suicidal enemies.

[@_McHooper]

It’s amazing how many people would just say something like “lmao this game isn’t as good as Crash 2 or 3,” so seeing a nice comment despite your take on the game is very appreciated, thanks.

[@CrazyOne2521]

Wow, I can definitely relate to your frustration during some levels

[@knju1monsterhunt656]

41:54 Your reaction was hilarious! What exactly caused you to freak out like that?

[@_McHooper]

If you notice, the pistons were a few frames from hitting me, and I had no masks, which means the run could’ve just ended there.

[@knju1monsterhunt656]

@@_McHooper Okay. At first glance, it looked like you were freaking out over the trippy change in lighting.

[@letsplay2win891]

How did you get properly looping music on the PS2 Version?

[@_McHooper]

It was a long and complicated process of modifying the music files to remove the 0.5 seconds of silence (sometimes more, such as Compactor (1s) and Banzai (0.7s)) on each individual music track, then zipping it all back up in the game files. I did this for Greatest Hits as well as the Japanese and Korean versions.

[@AFROKAH]

I was pretty young when I 106% the game. I do know that I never picked it back up. That scarred me lol

[@Tebt_W]

it's hoopin' time

[@soggyslays1170]

Yes there was a sonic.exe sequel I forgot what it was called tho.

[@co0kienho539]

As I put the game in Japanese, I already tried to find a download in JP but I didn't find any

recuerdo que en el nivel 11 te acercas a la cámara , explotas con los nitros y llegas al final en 2 segundos

[@_McHooper]

Uh, do you have any footage of this?

[@itssmoothk9113]

The high blood pressure thing maybe true I suffer with some of those things n i was diagnosed with it not long ago

[@_McHooper]

Sorry to hear that :( For me I just get hot very easily, that’s really the only way I can tell. I was never diagnosed so you have my full sympathy.

Holy moly, that loading time on the Gamecube.

[@_McHooper]

GameCube’s loads suck in comparison to this.

[@Lum2022]

Excuse me for my ignorance, but is this on XBox?

[@_McHooper]

PS2. Check the description for details.

Right, I should’ve checked that before commenting, my bad 😊

All good 👌

2:12:52 where's the special solar brawler time relic strat?

[@_McHooper]

I lost a lot of momentum while going for it so I had to do the safe strat.

[@erdood3235]

@@_McHooper thanks for explaining why you didn't do it here. But i meant something else. You said that if you won't to it here, you'll post in the description a video of that strat

[@_McHooper]

Oh, that’s right. I can update the description at some point later today with the strat in action. It’s extremely hard and only worth going for in runs that are either about to die or tipping on the edge.

[@erdood3235]

@@_McHooper thanks man

[@leoalex50]

Btw what’s with the not getting all the checkpoint boxes ?

[@_McHooper]

Check the description.

[@Willllow]

How many relics would need to be skipped for a 100% run?

[@_McHooper]

If you mean just getting all the gems, then 5, but if you literally mean 100% then you'd skip 6. Getting the true ending without at least 25 relics would be pretty difficult, though.

[@Seiftechie]

how to slide cancel or whatever that is? using a ps controller do I just spam o?

[@_McHooper]

You just slide constantly, so yeah, you spam O.

[@Blotling360]

Is this on Xbox? This game looks better than I remember

[@_McHooper]

It’s on PS2, as the speedrun is most optimal there.

[@Blotling360]

@@_McHooper I remember GameCube having awful slow down so that makes sense

[@_McHooper]

GameCube indeed has bad framerate that hinders the overall speed of the game (text boxes take about twice as long to skip because of that, and the warp room teleporter moves about half the speed). I have a video on my channel that’s just me doing a 106% speedrun on the GameCube version, and it is indeed quite painful.

[@ringtail99]

why is it the Japanese version any real reason?
