Watching this video makes me so happy i'm done with the platinum trophy. Perfect relics + platinum time relics is a nightmare. Gold relics would have been enough for the trophy in my opinion..
I 100% agree if the trophy was gold relics that would still be a challenge but one I could realistically achieve. Congrats on getting the platinum trophy. 👀 are you sure you don’t want to get all the toys for Bob time relics
@@ClassicGamerX11 I actually got the perfect relic for Toxic Tunnels on my second try, no joke, I was gobsmacked, for me No Dillo Dallying was way harder because of that goddamn boat section.
When I achieved 106% completion, my general thought of the 10 hardest levels in the game are: 10 Run it Bayou/No Dillo Dallying These levels are incredibly difficult, especially with the jet-board section at the end of each levels. They introduce the ‘rage’ factor decently quickly. About Run it Bayou: A hard, unforgiving level which has the worst start ever. With super precise box times, in order to break all of them, you need the perfect timing and precision. The bit towards the end with the boat section, is not as difficult as No Dillo Dallying since it’s lacking boxes. (272) About No Dillo Dallying: A challenging level with most gameplay with Dingodile. He is super inconsistent since his hover never aims in the right direction. When throwing TNT he obliterates something else unintended. As for Crash’s part, it’s a replica of Run it Bayou, all though contains a lot more boxes (502) 9 Rush Hour Rush Hour is a tricky one; mainly due to Tawna. Dingodile’s bit isn’t particularly difficult since his regular slow movement is required here. At Tawna’s section, however, there are these super time-consuming rail grinding sections which really waste your precious time. Also, the bit towards the end is where most of my precious time was used. The absolutely stupid “rush hour” at the end, makes it super inconsistent to jump from car to car. 8 The Crate Escape The Crate Escape has two sections; one with Crash and most of the level is with Cortex. Cortex’s sections are so time consuming, due to his general slow movement (like Dingodile) unless you dash, and his really annoying hitbox. When exploding a nitro with his “ray gun” you will most likely get hit with it; causing you to restart the whole level again. Crash’s section isn’t too difficult, all though the boxes can be decently tedious to grab at first sight. 7 Resilience Evaluation (Flashback Tape) This flashback tape was by far the most stupid one out there, with its inconsistency shown throughout the whole part of the level. Both parts of this flashback are annoying. The first section with its extremely rigged timing for the jumps. And the second section where you have to slide under nitros, it’s just pain. When I did this Flashback the first time it took me a good 45 minutes just to complete it; that also includes restarting twice for a break. So this Flashback Tape does not mess around. 6 Building Bridges Building Bridges was a bit of a weird one for me. I found Tawna’s section to flow extremely unintendedly (mostly those electrical platforms) because of how bad the timing is throughout the level. Tawna’s part wasn’t why I struggled with this one, it was mainly because of Crash’s section and the BONUS LEVEL. This bonus level actually isn’t difficult except those nitro boxes ready to explode at any times. Another reason why I don’t enjoy this level is because of how many boxes are placed in Crash’s part. I had to restart so many times because I forgot one box location or the bear completely jumped over it? This one sucks. 5 Crash Landed Personally, this one was incredibly difficult. With the blue gem path, both riding sections and the bonus. So let’s talk about all of them. The First Riding Section: Easier than the second, no question. This one was not too bad because of how short it is. The only thing I struggled with was when going down I missed one of those boxes, every once in a while. The Blue Gem Path: This one is not terrible; but still hard. With the 3 hidden boxes that literally no one could have found by themselves. And the end part with all of the “who knows what they’re called” running constantly to hunt down your life… The Bonus Level: Now this is one of the worst bonus stages in the game. It has the inconsistency issue as I showed before, and how stupid it is to jump over the arrow crates. They are the worst. Over than that, it is not too bad. Except me having to restart 20 times… The Second Riding Section: A lot more boxes and are so stupid to collect, some I would fall down a cliff for just to obtain them, some are hidden in the left of the screen, which you are most likely going to miss at first glance and yeah. The boxes are the hardest part of this section. 4 Out for Launch Most people may disagree that this level should be put on the harder end. But I have chose this because of how incredibly nerve-racking it is to run through without an “Aku-Aku”, which is only obtained towards the end of the level. Also, the bonus I found to be an exponentially difficult challenge, due to it’s length. So this one does not play around. 3 Toxic Tunnels Toxic Tunnels is difficult because, mainly, of the gem path. The “red gem path” being the hardest for me. The green gem path is a sort of “tutorial” for the red gem path, as this path introduces exponentially difficult box locations and the enemies would often take my “Aku-Aku” when I try and reach the other side to reach even more difficult box locations? The yellow gem path was fine, except for the end where you have to jump over the bouncing crate. For me, an Aku-Aku was almost required for this part since of how RNG it is. This level is so stupid that I almost ranked it number one. But there are two harder, in my opinion. 2 The Gauntlet (Flashback Tape) The reason I put The Gauntlet this high on the list is mainly to do with its start. The nitro box at the top made most of my attempts fail. You have to approach it perfectly while also doing a small curve to land perfectly on the next boxes. Another hard section about this level is the last part, with the boxes that if you dare graze it they will eliminate you almost immediately. So this Flashback Tape literally will burn you to pieces. 1 Shipping Error Now let me reiterate, this level isn’t exponentially that difficult, according to most people. But this was by far the hardest for me. Cortex’s wanky controls mess up the entire flow of this level. With UFO’s that if you dare graze it they eliminate you. With literally no help supplied (Aku-Aku) and the most difficult side scrolling sections I have ever seen in a video game. And Crash’s section with a replica of Out for Launch although 20x harder, with 3 boxes which completely break the timing of your jumps. With so many enemies which have the worst hit box I have ever seen before. And the end section, where sometimes the nitro boxes just explode me for no apparent reason. I am on a rail and it suddenly explodes me, even though I was quite clearly swinging right. This one exploded me to rotten bits. And this is also why I did this one last.
The hardest level for me was by far Cortex Castle. I died 267 times and I almost broke my controller. There's no way in hell I'm doing that level again or Cortex's version.
That's the worst part, the fact there is an alternate cortex section and it puts you back out into the hardest part of the level. I think it took me about 8 hours at least to get the flashback tape in this level. I would never do it again though.
I just finished getting the n sanely Perfect relics last week. And the idea that Crash landed ISN'T right next to Toxic Tunnels is weird. Those are the only 2 stages that took me more than a day to finish
I presume the patch if it does come will be once the switch version is out. It would be odd if they fixed it for the switch release but than not patch the previous versions. Glad you enjoyed it. I am starting to like cortex castle now that i don't die over 70 times.
I've beaten the main story and am currently replaying each level to get the gems. I'm absolutely dreading going back to 'The Crate Escape'. Specifically the Blimp section at the end. I imagine it's going to be hell getting the All Boxes gem and the 3 deaths one. I died so many times on the Blimp section.
Same, on my first attempt of the level it was just horrible. I hope you can do it. The 3 deaths gem i had to restart some levels so many times. But it was going for those gems that allowed me to learn how to get through parts easier than i was doing before.
@@ClassicGamerX11 In each level, I have been focusing on getting the 3 deaths gem first. Some levels have been quite easy to get through as I am ignoring the boxes. And I suppose it's good practice for when I eventually attempt the relics. Then I can focus on getting the All Box gems and hidden gems when replaying through them again.
there's a cool trick for the section at the end-just ignore the crates while jumping on that platforms and make it to the end platform and then break all of the crates from there, because you see those platforms that you're jumping on do come back around and you can easily break all of the crates on the last platform.
I usually attempt to get all boxes on the first playthrough at the cost of a large number of suicides due to missed boxes, without any worry about deaths, then have a second playthrough where I go for the flashback tape (it's not that hard to go the 3 death gem if you're already trying not to die in order to go for the Flashback tape). I don't do N. Verted levels until I'm gonna finish the main story, which I'll do only after having gotten all gems and aced all flashbacks.
GG on getting the platinum trophy. Toxic tunnels really made me feel pretty toxic while playing it. It is one of those games that once you have fully completed it. There is no real incentive to want to do it again. Considering how much time it takes.
Crash Landed makes me want to rip my hair out because i kept either dying, missing crates on the dino sections having to deal with awful physics sometimes, MESSING UP DINO JUMPS FOR NO REASON, AND THE LEVEL TAKES OVER 15 MINUTES AND IF YOUR GOING FOR N SANELY PERFECT RELIC AND DIE ONCE DONT WORRY YOU JUST GOTTA SUFFER THROUGH 15 MINUTES ALL OVER AGAIN
Personally, I'd swap Bears Repeating with Building Bridges. I cannot stand Tawna's section, and even though Polar has a better hitbox now, the boxes are in dumber spots, so it's still really frustrating. Also the N. Verted hidden gem which is near impossible to get without dying.
I am glad they have fixed it now, i have seen people play the level and rather than hitting 2/4 boxes or somehow 1/4 in the stacks you now do hit all of them. I haven't tried myself since it was "fixed" So i might have to see for myself if the changes are better or worse.
@@ClassicGamerX11 I cannot compare myself, since I started playing the game post-patch, but I'd say both Polar sections feel pretty forgiving now in comparison. Though controls wise he's still a little too loose for my liking.
It took me about 6-8h over about 5 days to get Nsane perfect relic on toxic tunnels. Couldnt bear with it to do it in 1 day because after 2h of dying in gem paths i was losing my ability to jump on the beginnig of the level. Man that was A CHALLANGE. But i love the feeling when i finaly got it. Also, playing this on PC but on xbox controler: i think Bear/Snorgle (whatever this animal was called) controls were PERFECTLY FINE. If anything there was a little wanky hitbox in few places, but overall i really didnt have any issues with these sections.
I mostly agree with you But this is my list: 5. Crash landed (I keep missing one box) 4. Shipping error ( I hate cortex's part ) 3. Run it bayou (the timeline level included) 2. Cortex castle 1. Toxic tunnels
To be fair i don't really enjoy any of cortex's sections, his controls are very awkward compared to any other character. So i can see how that would be in your top 5. Very solid list as well. Glad there is plenty we agree on. It was difficult to narrow it down because of how many hard levels there are. Crash landed was a nightmare when i first played it due to the same problems with polars section.
@@ClassicGamerX11 thanks and yeah I agree maybe because cortex didn't have a double jump like crash, any animal riding is a nightmare when you are going for completion, this game is mostly tough but fair except a few times things gets ridiculous.
@@Obe_omer Yeah i feel like this game is more fun just going through picking up some gems and not going for 100%. But it's nice to have all the extra's like perfect relics, flashback tapes, Time relics and inverted gems for those that want to challenge themselves. I might come back to it to try get some of the relics. I needed a break after going for all the gems.
@@ClassicGamerX11I agree the completion requirements added a nice reply value, but if they just removed the loading time after you reply the level it will be less frustrating especially if you are going for the perfect relics it would have been a lot better if you just reply the level instantly after you die, anyways good luck to you if you're trying to go after the relics.
That is insane. I think i could have gotten it if it wasn't for the trophy for all platinum time relics. All gold relics i would be able to do. But i haven't really had the motivation to do time trials. I take my hat off to you
@@ClassicGamerX11 time trials were easier for me then perfect relics But they come more In numbers There is fewer hard perfect relics but those few perfect relics are harder then any platinums relics imo Trust me after few levels U get used to it
@@generalyousif3640 Yeah i already find myself getting through levels that i used to find really hard like cortex castle. With everything it takes practice. I think once i learn to triple spin consistently it would be possible. What would you say is the hardest perfect relic? I am guessing bears repeating , toxic tunnels or Crash landed
My top 10 hardest levels 10: stay frosty 9: of balance 8: rocked blocked 7: seeing double 6: building bridges 5: snow way out 4: nitro processing 3: jetboard jetty 2: run it bayou 1: the crate escape
The music is awesome throughout the game. Not sure there is a soundtrack that doesn't fit or work. I have to admit listening to just the soundtrack for bears repeating it is very nice. A little bit of rock with some Jolly sounding music. Which makes sense because the game is hard but also polar is lovely.
Thank you for subscribing. Cortex Castle was a nightmare. Took me a good hour of rage :D Dino dash as well especially the sections with the chasing dino had some tough platforming and hard to judge where crash was going to land
Jet Board Jetty was the most difficult for me up until now along with No Dillo Dallying. But hey i got so good at it that i could n.sanely perfect relic it on both normal and n.verted first try
I am a Crash-God : I have all the couloured gems, the gems, the n-verted gems, the platinum badges in the flashback tapes, the perfect relics. And I am trying to finish the platinum relics (I am currently to Bears Repeating). And yeah, The Perfect Relic in Toxic Tunnels is a nightmare. But I did it. It drove me into madness, but I did it...
Good luck with the platinum relics. That is the one thing i didn't even attempt. Never been a fan or time relics and the levels are so long. Plus there was already so much to try collect. When i come back to the game i will have another go at some of the time relics.
@@ClassicGamerX11 The one thing that I will not attempt is the dev times relics. Too hard for me. I cannot master the slide boost with a significant speed boost and without making big splashes when I don't want to. And if some of my platinum relics were close to dev times (sometimes 3 seconds) and so doable, some others are really too far of my times (like twenty or thirty seconds too slow). So I won't do it. Moreover, it doesn't do anything. And I don't need to brag more. The simple fact to succeed platinum times is really enough to brag with my friends.:)
My top 10's are 10.Off beat 9.draggin on 8.nitro processing 7.food run 6.run it bayou 5.dino dash 4.the louis fight level 3.toxic tunnels 2.rush hour 1.cortex castle
The Crate Escape is infuriating on Time Trial as is Jetboard Jetty, Nitro Processing, Rock Blocked, Toxic Tunnel and all other four levels where you play as Doctor Cortex. He sucks period. Crate Escape embodies the worst aspects of IAT’s git gud mentality towards level design. Annoying cycles that dictates your run? Yep. Annoying Nitro/TNT placements? Yep. Annoying level geometry that can screw you over? Yep. Wonky register of button inputs at crucial moments including double jump not working at times? Yep. Sudden momentum loss? Yep. Overshooting and undershooting your target? Yep. Having the player’s hitbox and enemy’s attack radius wider than non-lethal Crates? Yep. Camera being too close to the player to see properly? Yep. Camera perspective making it difficult to accurately judge where you’ll be landing next? Yep. Forced to hurry through hazards to get the best time possible? Yep. Timeline character controls being irritating to use in Time Trials including lack of aim assist? Yep. Having hazards that only gives you a second to react with a character that’s not Crash or Coco? Yep. Time Trials adding hazards that weren’t present in regular play? Yep. The Platinum Relic being too strict for a level where you have high chances of making a mistake? Yep. Annoying challenges bordering on actual spiteful cruelty? Absolutely. The only thing it’s missing are the loathesome Fire Crates stuck right into the middle of crucial paths with an inconsistent cycle in each retry and you’d have a complete rotten buffet of IAT’s awful game design choices concentrated into one level. It’s a real spiteful level that could easily have been made into a cutscene and split up the previous level too long in length into two separate levels to replace it. A black hole of anti-fun made by devs who just don’t get Crash Bandicoot with game design that’s one part improved from NST (Less wonky physics) while two parts worse than NST (Trading the useful Sprint Shoes for a finicky Triple Spin that’s rendered redundant by the slide spin combo that’s easier to do and gives you more speed in turn) and tied to a filler dimension no less.
I honestly get that a lot haha. It's an inside joke that i am actually richard ayoade. But i really like I.T crowd and Richard Ayoade is awesome. So it's all good
'Run It Bayou' was extremely frustrating. I did the level multiple times and kept missing 4 boxes. I knew there were boxes hidden behind those steps at the start but didn't realize there were 6 boxes hidden there. I never did like the Jetboard levels in Crash 2 so no wonder I didn't find this fun at all. And as for the hidden gem, I'd say it's definitely the most stupid hiding spot in the game. 'No Dillo Dallying' has probably my least favourite Dingodile section in the game. The Crash section involving riding the roof of the boat was even more frustrating than 'Run It Bayou'.
Getting all the boxes on No Dillo dallying specifically took ages. Because i could not stop dying on the roof of the boat. As soon as i remember where some boxes are i than forget the next section. They did go a bit overboard with hidden boxes in the game. Some of them are fine and are at least not too hard to find. But i felt like i had to look up a guide for some of them just because of how much time i was spending looking in levels.
The Time Trial for Platinum Relic is tied with Crate Escape, Jetboard Jetty, Rock Blocked and Nitro Processing for most BS time requirement for what you have to do. What they all have in common is hazards, obstacles and even cycles that can ruin your run.
They are both really hard to be fair. When i first played cortex castle it was the hardest level in the game. But after practice and going for the flashback tape. I now find it quite straight forward. I just can't get through toxic tunnels without dying to get the perfect relic.
@@ClassicGamerX11 I actually really enjoyed toxic tunnels but I too haven't got the perfect relic. I'm still trying to clear the regular gems, I get perfect relics as I go tho, I know the brutal maps are more towards the end im only 61% compelte , I've been stabbing at everything lol
They’re not gonna be doing a Crash 5 now and good riddance because for all the good IAT has, the stupid Perfect Relics, the pointless creation of Alt Tawna, the whole Cortex 1996 disaster, the Platinum Relics, the mischaracterised portrayal of several characters (Barring Dingodile because they made him a more interesting character who doesn’t revolve around Cortex and maybe N. Tropy) and having the worst story in the series drags it way down. The multiverse element is so underdone in this game that I suspected it along with the design of Alt Tawna was something that got thrown in late in development because Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse and the MCU made multiverses all the craze. The levels don’t feel like alternate reality versions of familiar locations, we only have two alternate universe counterparts of existing characters with Original Tawna not even appearing outside of a passing remark from Coco (It’s such a minor remark that I think it might have been thrown in late into development because of CTR NF making Original Tawna a fan favourite again), said characters could easily be redone into new character, merged with existing characters or removed without any impact and they do the time travel towards the end of the game which makes it another Crash Bandicoot: Warped clone after WoC. A game they smugly knocked out because theirs’ have a 4 slapped on it.
I am so glad they made changes. So much pain trying to get stacks of boxes only to only get 2/4 or sometimes 1/4 despite going through the middle but not at the right angle.

Do you know what im glad they made platinums are required for 106% since gold times are a joke
That’s where the last two boxes were in Toxic Tunnels... Here we go again. Great list by the way.
No problem always happy to help.
Those 2 boxes are hidden in a very cruel spot.
When I achieved 106% completion, my general thought of the 10 hardest levels in the game are:
10

They really put so much annoyance into one level.
It was part of the reason i never went for all the perfect relics. I would have gone Insane.
@@ClassicGamerX11 got it
Somehow
Personally, I'd swap Bears Repeating with Building Bridges. I cannot stand Tawna's section, and even though Polar has a better hitbox now, the boxes are in dumber spots, so it's still really frustrating.
Also the N. Verted hidden gem which is near impossible to get without dying.
I am glad they have fixed it now, i have seen people play the level and rather than hitting 2/4 boxes or somehow 1/4 in the stacks you now do hit all of them. I haven't tried myself since it was "fixed" So i might have to see for myself if the changes are better or worse.
@@ClassicGamerX11 I cannot compare myself, since I started playing the game post-patch, but I'd say both Polar sections feel pretty forgiving now in comparison. Though controls wise he's still a little too loose for my liking.
I was going to get all boxes... And I literally missed out the last two and had no way to suicide and restart from the latest checkpoint.
It took me about 6-8h over about 5 days to get Nsane perfect relic on toxic tunnels. Couldnt bear with it to do it in 1 day because after 2h of dying in gem paths i was losing my ability to jump on the beginnig of the level. Man that was A CHALLANGE. But i love the feeling when i finaly got it.
Also, playing this on PC but on xbox controler: i think Bear/Snorgle (whatever this animal was called) controls were PERFECTLY FINE. If anything there was a little wanky hitbox in few places, but overall i really didnt have any issues with these sections.
I mostly agree with you
But this is my list:
5. Crash landed (I keep missing one box)
4. Shipping error ( I hate cortex's part )
3. Run it bayou (the timeline level included)
2. Cortex castle
1. Toxic tunnels
To be fair i don't really enjoy any of cortex's sections, his controls are very awkward compared to any other character.
So i can see how that would be in your top 5.
Very solid list as well. Glad there is plenty we agree on. It was difficult to narrow it down because of how many hard levels there are. Crash landed was a nightmare when i first played it due to the same problems with polars section.
@@ClassicGamerX11 thanks and yeah I agree maybe because cortex didn't have a double jump like crash, any animal riding is a nightmare when you are going for completion, this game is mostly tough but fair except a few times things gets ridiculous.
@@Obe_omer Yeah i feel like this game is more fun just going through picking up some gems and not going for 100%. But it's nice to have all the extra's like perfect relics, flashback tapes, Time relics and inverted gems for those that want to challenge themselves. I might come back to it to try get some of the relics. I needed a break after going for all the gems.
@@ClassicGamerX11I agree the completion requirements added a nice reply value, but if they just removed the loading time after you reply the level it will be less frustrating especially if you are going for the perfect relics it would have been a lot better if you just reply the level instantly after you die, anyways good luck to you if you're trying to go after the relics.
My proudest platinum to this day
That is insane. I think i could have gotten it if it wasn't for the trophy for all platinum time relics.
All gold relics i would be able to do. But i haven't really had the motivation to do time trials.
I take my hat off to you
@@ClassicGamerX11 time trials were easier for me then perfect relics
But they come more In numbers
There is fewer hard perfect relics but those few perfect relics are harder then any platinums relics imo
Trust me after few levels U get used to it
@@generalyousif3640 Yeah i already find myself getting through levels that i used to find really hard like cortex castle. With everything it takes practice. I think once i learn to triple spin consistently it would be possible. What would you say is the hardest perfect relic? I am guessing bears repeating , toxic tunnels or Crash landed
@@ClassicGamerX11 toxic tunnels, crash landed, was hellish for me
Honorable mention to run It bayou, no dilo ,Bears repeating, and. Building bridges
@@ClassicGamerX11 I actually got lucky with the bear section and did it in 30 minutes
My top 10 hardest levels
10: stay frosty
9: of balance
8: rocked blocked
7: seeing double
6: building bridges
5: snow way out
4: nitro processing
3: jetboard jetty
2: run it bayou
1: the crate escape
So much pain in that top 10.
Crate escape when i first played it made me rage the most.
I do love that bears repeating music 😆
The music is awesome throughout the game. Not sure there is a soundtrack that doesn't fit or work.
I have to admit listening to just the soundtrack for bears repeating it is very nice. A little bit of rock with some
Jolly sounding music. Which makes sense because the game is hard but also polar is lovely.
New subscriber and I really enjoyed it and I think the hardest level is Dino Dash and Cortex Castle
Thank you for subscribing. Cortex Castle was a nightmare. Took me a good hour of rage :D
Dino dash as well especially the sections with the chasing dino had some tough platforming and hard to judge where crash was going to land
Dino Dash????!!!!
Jet Board Jetty was the most difficult for me up until now along with No Dillo Dallying.
But hey i got so good at it that i could n.sanely perfect relic it on both normal and n.verted first try
Number 1. Cortex catle💀
my list;10;crash landed 9;final boss 8;food run 7;rush hour 6;stay frosty 5;jetboard jetty 4;toxic tunnels 3;draggin on 2;cortex castle 1;dino dash
I am a Crash-God : I have all the couloured gems, the gems, the n-verted gems, the platinum badges in the flashback tapes, the perfect relics. And I am trying to finish the platinum relics (I am currently to Bears Repeating). And yeah, The Perfect Relic in Toxic Tunnels is a nightmare. But I did it. It drove me into madness, but I did it...
Good luck with the platinum relics. That is the one thing i didn't even attempt. Never been a fan or time relics and the levels are so long. Plus there was already so much to try collect. When i come back to the game i will have another go at some of the time relics.
@@ClassicGamerX11 The one thing that I will not attempt is the dev times relics. Too hard for me. I cannot master the slide boost with a significant speed boost and without making big splashes when I don't want to. And if some of my platinum relics were close to dev times (sometimes 3 seconds) and so doable, some others are really too far of my times (like twenty or thirty seconds too slow). So I won't do it. Moreover, it doesn't do anything. And I don't need to brag more. The simple fact to succeed platinum times is really enough to brag with my friends.:)
6:23
I can’t tell if you are saying one piece or war and peace
Because one piece is legendary for its length
Ah that was meant to be war and peace as in the book but either could work :)
Cortex Castle is one of the easiest levels in the game to get the perfect relic and the platinum relic
Not for me, Although i have gotten a lot better at it and could probably get the perfect relic if i put a few hours into it.
Did that bear patch ever happen? That one took me forever to perfect.
I think it was, but it wasn't a huge difference from what other people have said.
Nice video !
Thank you
Yay, I'm a Crash god haha.

TOTALLY AGREE!!!
The Crate Escape is infuriating on Time Trial as is Jetboard Jetty, Nitro Processing, Rock Blocked, Toxic Tunnel and all other four levels where you play as Doctor Cortex. He sucks period.
Crate Escape embodies the worst aspects of IAT’s git gud mentality towards level design.
Annoying cycles that dictates your run? Yep. Annoying Nitro/TNT placements? Yep. Annoying level geometry that can screw you over? Yep. Wonky register of button inputs at crucial moments including double jump not working at times? Yep. Sudden momentum loss? Yep. Overshooting and undershooting your target? Yep. Having the player’s hitbox and enemy’s attack radius wider than non-lethal Crates? Yep.
Camera being too close to the player to see properly? Yep. Camera perspective making it difficult to accurately judge where you’ll be landing next? Yep. Forced to hurry through hazards to get the best time possible? Yep. Timeline character controls being irritating to use in Time Trials including lack of aim assist? Yep. Having hazards that only gives you a second to react with a character that’s not Crash or Coco? Yep. Time Trials adding hazards that weren’t present in regular play? Yep. The Platinum Relic being too strict for a level where you have high chances of making a mistake? Yep. Annoying challenges bordering on actual spiteful cruelty? Absolutely.
The only thing it’s missing are the loathesome Fire Crates stuck right into the middle of crucial paths with an inconsistent cycle in each retry and you’d have a complete rotten buffet of IAT’s awful game design choices concentrated into one level. It’s a real spiteful level that could easily have been made into a cutscene and split up the previous level too long in length into two separate levels to replace it. A black hole of anti-fun made by devs who just don’t get Crash Bandicoot with game design that’s one part improved from NST (Less wonky physics) while two parts worse than NST (Trading the useful Sprint Shoes for a finicky Triple Spin that’s rendered redundant by the slide spin combo that’s easier to do and gives you more speed in turn) and tied to a filler dimension no less.
4:25 this hidden gem might be the worst hidden gem in the game
No Dillo dallying inverted:
I love this game ❤❤❤
I’m reconsidering
the flashback tapes with perameles coco
Haven't ran out of swear words, I just alternate between Finnish and English xD
Double the swear words. Maybe even learn another language just to add more swear words :D
Toxic tunnels
It's such a toxic level.
Thank you for the comment.
You sound like Richard Ayoade.
I honestly get that a lot haha.
It's an inside joke that i am actually richard ayoade.
But i really like I.T crowd and Richard Ayoade is awesome. So it's all good
'Run It Bayou' was extremely frustrating. I did the level multiple times and kept missing 4 boxes. I knew there were boxes hidden behind those steps at the start but didn't realize there were 6 boxes hidden there.
I never did like the Jetboard levels in Crash 2 so no wonder I didn't find this fun at all.
And as for the hidden gem, I'd say it's definitely the most stupid hiding spot in the game.
'No Dillo Dallying' has probably my least favourite Dingodile section in the game. The Crash section involving riding the roof of the boat was even more frustrating than 'Run It Bayou'.
Getting all the boxes on No Dillo dallying specifically took ages. Because i could not stop dying on the roof of the boat. As soon as i remember where some boxes are i than forget the next section. They did go a bit overboard with hidden boxes in the game. Some of them are fine and are at least not too hard to find. But i felt like i had to look up a guide for some of them just because of how much time i was spending looking in levels.
@@ClassicGamerX11 I eventually managed to get all the boxes in 'No Dillo Dallying'. Just need to replay it for the 3 deaths gem and the hidden gem.
Toxic tunnels took me 5 hours to get the perfect relic, It is just inhuman. I can draw the entire level by memory. Horrible and unfair difficulty.
The Time Trial for Platinum Relic is tied with Crate Escape, Jetboard Jetty, Rock Blocked and Nitro Processing for most BS time requirement for what you have to do. What they all have in common is hazards, obstacles and even cycles that can ruin your run.
for me the hardest was toxic tunnels
and the easiest was cortex castle
I have this game on the switch
Nice, i hope the switch version is good.
I believe they fixed polar's controls for it.
@@ClassicGamerX11 I haven't got that fear yet is that in the snowy levels
“Spoilers for the box placements”
*has off balance on it which has some completley shit box placement
Funny the hardestlevel in the game was not that hard for me. Sure it took a while but it was a fair challenge unlike cortex castle.
They are both really hard to be fair. When i first played cortex castle it was the hardest level in the game.
But after practice and going for the flashback tape. I now find it quite straight forward. I just can't get through toxic tunnels without dying to get the perfect relic.
@@ClassicGamerX11 I actually really enjoyed toxic tunnels but I too haven't got the perfect relic. I'm still trying to clear the regular gems, I get perfect relics as I go tho, I know the brutal maps are more towards the end im only 61% compelte , I've been stabbing at everything lol
So, so many reasons to loathe this game. I hope they don’t go quite so hard for Crash 5.
They’re not gonna be doing a Crash 5 now and good riddance because for all the good IAT has, the stupid Perfect Relics, the pointless creation of Alt Tawna, the whole Cortex 1996 disaster, the Platinum Relics, the mischaracterised portrayal of several characters (Barring Dingodile because they made him a more interesting character who doesn’t revolve around Cortex and maybe N. Tropy) and having the worst story in the series drags it way down.
The multiverse element is so underdone in this game that I suspected it along with the design of Alt Tawna was something that got thrown in late in development because Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse and the MCU made multiverses all the craze. The levels don’t feel like alternate reality versions of familiar locations, we only have two alternate universe counterparts of existing characters with Original Tawna not even appearing outside of a passing remark from Coco (It’s such a minor remark that I think it might have been thrown in late into development because of CTR NF making Original Tawna a fan favourite again), said characters could easily be redone into new character, merged with existing characters or removed without any impact and they do the time travel towards the end of the game which makes it another Crash Bandicoot: Warped clone after WoC. A game they smugly knocked out because theirs’ have a 4 slapped on it.
Crate escape is the hardest
The ending to crate escape is so disorientating.
I lost so many lives the first time i played it.
AM I A CRASH GOD? coz i got the perfect relic in toxic tunnels.
I will bow down to you might nate the great.
Can you do it for me
Hey you replied! 😀
I would do it for you but my internet is not fast enough for share play. I bet you can do it being a crash fan and all.
bears repeating is100 times easier on switch
I am so glad they made changes. So much pain trying to get stacks of boxes only to only get 2/4 or sometimes 1/4 despite going through the middle but not at the right angle.
11:22
Idk why but that twana alternate time line level with the electric walls killed me. I just gave up on that one
I have all 38 perfect relics on my channel 😎
Nice, i have a friend who is currently trying to get them all.
I couldn't put myself through that pain.
@@ClassicGamerX11 I’m sure you can! Persistence my friend 😎 toxic tunnels though, that level was hell
