I like the relics in crash 1 more than in 2 and 3 specifically because there’s only one speed crash can move at. In the hog levels you’ll likely get platinum just by hitting every time crate and getting to the end, in crash 2 polar levels you have to work out where to charge and not charge for the entire level. Same with the chase levels - in crash 1 a good run will be enough, in Crash 2 you have to dash so fast you can barely react to obstacles. If you CAN move faster, then you HAVE to move faster - and it just makes the relics more annoying to get

I can really get behind what you said about Generator room, and The Lab. On Th Lab I actually found myself a fairly consistent cycle and got it in like 20-30 minutes after that, with very little inconsistencies. I also had some fun on Generator room, but I had no good beginning cycle on it, sadly. BUt funnily enough, I also had fun rushing Stormy Ascent, yet it still took an overall 2-3 hours and was by far the hardest, so I guess enjoying it doesn't mean much...

My personal top 5 of hardest platinum relics in crash 1?! Hmm... #5 - The Lab (Its only 5th given i took few hours on it trying to figure it out myself, but ended up looking it up only to win in few tries.) #4 - Generator Room (Took a little while to get the cycle. Even longer than the lab after looking it up.) #3 - Heavy Machinery (I recall getting a gold first for very sloppy performance.) #2 - Native Fortress (Jankiness kills this level.) #1 - Stormy Ascent (I dont need to explain that one.) As for Crash 2... little foreshadowing I guess. #5 - Crash Dash/Crash Crush/Un-Bearable (All boulder levels. You must hit time crates, while Speed Shoes and Slide Jumping. You have even less time to react to obstacles.) #4 - Totally Bear (Darkness + Bear Dashing = trial and error. Lots of forced restarts) #3 - Sewer Or Later/Hangin' Out (Very tight times and the first one requires triple aku. Got gold first time and couple more times.) #2 - Piston It Away (Very annoying level design on top of jank. Got gold the first time again.) #1 - Cold Hard Crash (Long ice level. Inconsistent level cycles.) Hope that small bit of foreshadowing may guide you a bit Lewis. I've seen that most did not struggled with Cold Hard Crash. I guess long levels are a pet peeve.

For the native fortress type of levels, there's one thing you could've done to make it even faster. Those wooden platforms you have to attack in the vertical sections... you can actually turn them around AND jump onto the next platform with only 1 jump, there's no need to do 2 jumps. However it's pretty dang precise to do, but it does save a few seconds. That said, I hate the trials in these levels...

crash 1 is odd. i SMASHED dev times on my first attempts on some levels, yet only just scraped the plats in others. As you said, no clue why some of these times were as they were. Crash 1 isn't about speed or skill.. its about hitting the cycles. dont hit them? plats become impossible. hit them, and you almost just hold 1 button and jump a few times. For this reason i dont think crash 1 is the hardest of the 3 for plat relics because theres little "skill" compared to slide jumping and tornado skipping gaps.

Jaws of Darkness (pretty easy level, but hard time) 4. Stormy Ascent (I hated it, but not as bad as I thought it would be) 3. The High Road (insanely frustrating if you're not good at rope jumps) 2. The Lab (ridiculously unfair time and I HATE that first electric fence) 1. Generator Room (insanely hard time and certain cycles just seemed inconsistent, like The Lab)

It's hard for me to make a top 5 here because, as much as I enjoyed this version of Crash 1 in particular, I'm not really a fan of how time trials are handled here for most of the game, at least compared to the other mainline adventures in the series. I guess not having a faster movement option to unlock can be a plus because it means you can try out those time trials as soon as they are available, but the rest of it... I have mixed feelings about time trials in Crash 1.

For me, The Lab just was a complete pain to me. Crash 1 is a bit strange, though. I feel like (at least in the North American release), the level difficulty from one level to another can be all over the place. I mean, generally the levels get more difficult as you progress, but there are still odd cases where some levels just seem oddly placed as they are either too hard or too easy for their placement in the game.

i think this is the second hardest game to platinum out of the trilogy (crash 2 being definitely the hardest), a lot of the levels i was dreading were rather easy, but the first level and the lab almost made me wanna pull my hair out, shaving off every millisecond in hopes of making it, the lab especially because you have to jump through the electricity bolts in the very beginning and the very end (i think my low end pc was guilty of misplacing the last electricity cycle but i still did it). though stormy ascent was hard, it's due to the level being hard, not the time trial aspect, after a while it worked purely off of muscle memory. besides that not much bothered me aside from the spinning ladder at the end of lost city and the robot cycles from castle machinery, some bullshit here and there.

Well done! I think the hardest one is done now (unless Crash 4 is even worse idk but at least it should have better performance and controls) so I'm excited to see 2 and 3. Last summer I played the trilogy and I was very close to the Crash 3 platinum (easy one except for the bike controls F THAT, I had only 3 or 4 time trials left) and then the game decided to say F YOU! because since this remastered is poorly done technically (controls, hitboxes and physics as well) my save file got randomly corrupted and I lost ALL of my progress on ALL 3 games. Seriously they should have patched the trouble with auto saving that can lead to this happening!!!! So now I'll wait a few years to let the steam cool down before attempting again to complete these games.

You know what, I'd swap Stormy Ascent with the Lab. Because I had more fun getting platinum on Stormy Ascent than The Lab. Jaws of Darkness wasn't that bad for me mainly because it's a game of choosing what hazard you'd sacrifice the Akus. So I think with my Top 5 worst level to platinum would be (1) The Lab; (2) Fumbling in the Dark; (3) Sunset Vista; (4) Stormy Ascent; (5) Native Fortress. Levels like Slippery Climb, The High Road, or Generator Room that were hyped to be a very hard Platinum turns out to be either very fun to play or I managed to snatch it on my very first run (like Slippery Climb). Also P.S. if you were attempting Platinum on Crash 2, if you're just using the running power up to play the time trials, you'd have a really bad time getting platinums because the times can get very, very tight. Doing some slide-jumping are slightly faster than only running, so doing slide-jumping on places you think are confident to execute while running can be really helpful. Also slide-jumpspin to get extra height than usual slide-jumping would actually help in some cases.
@kev1nno7 ай бұрын
9:23 Tbf, during the "going down section" near the middle of the level, you can save plenty of time, and it's honestly easier than going the actual route too - you did make it a bit harder for yourself than it needed to be by going the full route. You can also save yourself quite a bit of pain by training the different sections of the level with checkpoints (although I never really thought to do that either, so oh well). But either way, Stormy Ascent is definitely not an easy level to clear with no deaths, let alone doing it with reasonable speed too, so it's still a fair choice I think For me the worst level by far was The Lab, but I will admit that your strat for the level looks many times better than the strat I used. If I'd known that cycle, it probably wouldn't be my number one either (although that BS RNG beginning alone would definitely still land it in my top 5, and probably top 3 too)

The problem with Sunset Vista is that it's too long, and replaying it is a slog, but the time is forgiving, and the platforming is not as strict as something like Stormy Ascent.
