Crash Bandicoot is easily one of the most requested characters on this channel, so it was a real fun process researching the character and putting this video together! I hope you enjoy it!

idk about you but that design in the intro looked pretty sleek
Agreed they nailed that design.
Easily takes the cake 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just a small correction, Sony never sold the rights to Universal. Universal Studios always had the rights to the characters, Sony only had the distribution rights for the first handful of Crash & Spyro games. After that, Universal interactive would split & merge with Vivendi. Finally, Vivendi would eventually be acquired by Sierra, which itself would acquired by Activision.
Theres always a bigger fish
Yeah if Sony had owned Crash they would've never sold him especially at his peak.
@Indoido I read interviews from people who worked a Naughty Dog, Sony, Insomniac Games & Universal Interactive, as well as articles about said companies. I also asked Crash Bandicoot producer David Siller about it years ago.
There's always a bigger Fish
Josh I, no, Sierra was bought by Universal, not the other way around. Look it up on crashmania.net
*_Legend has it, Crash is still saying "WOAH" from all around the world to this day._*
I find crash a mascot who is timeless and eye catching.
for sure!. crash will always be one of the greatest animal mascots in video game history without a doubt
Definitely! I just got into the series with the N. Sane Trilogy and I love it and the character, he’s as timeless as Sonic and Mario in my opinion. Sure the design can be tweaked but the same goes for Sonic and Mario, God knows it goes for Sonic.
He’s funni
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Cruz Krew instablaster ;)
I can understand how crash’s Japanese design would appeal to that audience, however have never really been fond of it. I think crash losses his loveable goofiness in it.
Yeah I heard in Japan, cute is more marketable whereas in the west tough or crazy designs are more marketable instead
he looks soulless
Litten Fire not just the west, all across the world (except japan)!!
He just looks worse
@@littenfire3563 like the sailor moon opening in America vs japan lol
Personally, I’m still a bit nostalgic for the Twinsanity design. It’s perfectly sleek, cartoony and expressive, and I think it still holds up today. The only thing I’d improve is the weird design of the shorts.
Twinsanity is personally my favorite design. It has enough detail but not too much, perfectly in between angular and cartoony.
His model in Twinsanity was always my favorite of the ps2 area. I drew the most artwork of it.
"Guess who's next on the list"
Master Chief
Halo: Ripto's Rage
🤣
The look of him in Crash Twinsanity is personally one of my favourite designs of Crash Bandicoot
And one of my favourite Crash games.
Skylanders Crash is actually pretty good in my opinion. It's not an " HD version" of the original like N. Sane Trilogy's, but I think that it's a more smooth evolution of the character than Twinsanity's, for example.
His head is too big imo
You are joking right? It looks like shit
@@RayThompson132
Are you triggered? That's his opinion
@@HyperVanilo How am I triggered? I'm just stating my opinion
I cant help myself, I'm such a sucker for the Japanese redesign. Especially seeing it in the Japanese designed DS game with heavy anime influences, I am so charmed. Although I do completely agree, the team behind the NSane Trilogy did a perfect job bringing the original design to modern consoles. As always Mark, great vid and I hope you didnt hurt yourself too bad on those boxes.
I'm pretty nostalgic for Crash's first original model. I think there's a certain charm to his lower poly model with it's minimal details and overall simplicity. I would say it's similar to the same joy you feel when seeing Mario's Super Mario 64 model.
Agreed!
Every time I think about the PS2 days I think about how much fun I had on Twin Insanity. Definitely one of my top 3 games next to KH2 and Sly Cooper.
The Twinsanity iteration of the crazy marsupial is the definitive version of him for me
Unpopular opinion: Skylanders Crash is my favorite, mostly because it was stated to be inspired by tho old Willy the Wombat designs. I also think its the most delightfully cartoony, I perfer Crash with jeans, the mouth being the same color as the chest fur streamlines the design, and I like the larger mouth and hair. The only thing I don't like is the metal knuckles because they seem like the kind of thing a teenagers DeviantArt redesign of Crash would include and feel a little tryhardish and thats only because Crash being in a beat-'em-up would need to be punching things alot more.
Agree
Already the best video I'll see today because of the intro alone
I never got into Crash, but I always found his Twinsanity-era design the most appealing. He just looks better with the matching mouth and chest fur color.
Oh my god, I watched this the moment I woke up and that intro will be remembered all day.
I've always been interested in new looks for characters.
Yeah common people detest the Titans and Mutant look but Crash is the furson-ification of the EXTREME 90s, so his reboot has always felt appropriate also this was the 00s when being EDGY AF was part of the trend. At least Crash and crew wasn't packing heat, swearing.
But we can all agree that Tiny Tiger's.... tiger design is a absolute sin.
I do have a soft spot for the japanese cute design, I wouldn't mind this as a skin in CTR NF some day.
When it comes to best design: I'd say that his Tag Team Racing/Crash Twinsanity model is the best also his animations are more cheeky.
TBH, The Skylanders model for Crash looks amazing, and is my most favourite, just look at the detail, along with the fact it is based off Charles Zembillas’ concept art of the character.
I love the N.Sane Trilogy, but Crash 2-3’s model will always be my favorite, he looks perfect there
The more I look at it, I can appreciate the “Mutant era” Crash design, but it just doesn’t work imo.
The classic design is my favorite.
Dw imagine a crash of the titans skin for crash in ctrnf
Crash 2 model and animations are peek crash. He's goofy while still being terrified of everything but he gets through it which is what makes him endearing. Post Naughty Dog made him too much of a goofy idiot in his animations
Ray2Dasher The Dragon stop
@@tgnoat910 stop what
Ray2Dasher The Dragon bringing the curse to the de-cursed game!!
I think the Titans/MOM Crash would be really good if he just kept the fingerless gloves. I like the silhouette of it. (But that's coming from someone who didn't play Crash as a kid)
Xzeralt Myeah, I agree the gloves could be included.
I was always most fond of Crash’s Twinsanity design.
Same
Same.
Same.
Twinsanity has the best design! I also like how his markings on the back of his ears and back kinda make a satisfying symmetrical look which you always see since your behind him while controlling him
Agreed.
That opening is cinematic storytelling at its finest.
Thank you. I'm awaiting my Oscar nomination.
Back at it again. Lmao that intro was 10/10
Grew up with the original trilogy but I always loved that twinsanity-tag team racing era of design
Imo, nothing can beat the Skylanders design, the face is humongous which shows how *n tense* Crash's expressions are! Amazing video, I am shocked that you talked about almost every design, I expected you to just talk about 2 designs per generation, I had fun, thanks, and good luck on Spyro!
Nah
IMO
Crash Titans design is actually my favorite crash design, Twinsanity is second.
And this is coming from someone who played original Crash trilogy first.
That opening was everything is hoped for and more. Great choice too, Crash 2 has always been my favourite. Crash 1 was the first game I owned on ps1 and somehow I missed the release of 2 and moved straight onto 3. I went to a friend's house to play crash 2 and I was blown away with the style and sleekness of the character design, as well as the world design. Also small note, really love how much you go into not just the design but the history and growth of the games themselves. Great work marky mark.
I knew you would love the intro 🤣
The PS1 or the Twinsanity one. The remake is getting close but still lacks some of the funniest expressions.
Bomberman best design video when?
There’s something about the old model (crash 2/3) that I just prefer to the new one. Like, somethings missing on the new model that I can’t put my finger on. Don’t get me wrong, the new model is fantastic, but there’s just something about the original.
Maybe it's his constant maniacal grin
Gabriel Merriman maybe, also I think there’s something about the eyes. Maybe it’s just his whole face
His face was a lot larger making his expressiveness a lot more prominent
Compare his animation when you finish a level with all the crates in the PS1 and the remake (TA-TA-DA-TAHH). The PS1 is full meme face. The remake one looks soulless. Others animations in the remake do look good (the intro), but that one looks ugly.
Same here. I think it's mostly the eyes and mouth. Someone made this and I think it highlights exactly what's missing www.crashmania.net/images/articles/n-sane-trilogy-february-roundup/crash-nsane-edit.jpg
Great video man! I think you did choose the best model. However, if Crash does make it into Smash Bros. I wouldn't be shocked if it becomes my favorite model. I often find Smash's models to be my favorite versions of characters. (Except maybe Mega Man and Sonic)
Yeah smash models are usually awesome. Usually they are like some crazy hybrid of multiple good designs lol.
@@ArtistMarkFlynn Yeah they pull some kind of magic over there haha. I'm curious if Crash would get both American and Japanese models. Kind of like how R.O.B. has his "Robot" design as default when you are playing the Japanese one? If they only went with one style I imagine it would be American since he's a Western character. But who knows, maybe we'll see in the next pack.
The Skylanders design was honestly perfect and it's a shame that they didn't use it for NST/CTRNF
the what now
@@sydrox4001 N-Sane Trilogy/ Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled
I know right, but the good news is that the actual Skylanders model is still present hidden in the files of the N. Sane Trilogy and can be easily modded into the game. It’s a missed opportunity that didn’t pull off the Spider-Man PS4 skin modes, where you can either use the Tom Holland suits or the Tobey Maguire suits at anytime during the game, it also includes the cutscenes. I honestly think the Skylanders model would’ve fit perfectly with the cutscenes a lot more.
Curious to see what you think of the new design for "Crash 4 It's About Time!"
I actually really love Crash's designs for Crash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant. There was something about the tribal tattoos that not only looked cool to me but give Crash a sense of some spirituality, mostly crazy and wild like he was.
But yeah Mind Over Mutant's box art of Crash was awful, no arguments there.
Fair play. I just find tribal tats a bit cringe in general lol
my fav is of course the tatooed one and the one with Australian accent, I wish they mixed both of them
Love so much this video, well done :) my favorite design it's from CB 1 to Wrath, but for some reason I have a nostalgic love for the renders Universal made on Wrath and the GBA games, I think they were so great and representative of Crash, the box art of XS became the mainstream picture of Crash Bandicoot for many years, and I love the models of those renders, Crash falling, the rocket one, spinning, Coco on his scooter and Crunch, they are gorgeous to look at
I just want to let you know that I watched every ad all the way through because I wanted you to get the full potential earnings possible. Good video.
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
@@ArtistMarkFlynn All I can say is don't stop. Just browsing your content and Its worth the minutes. I can see some good looking growth coming your way.
Twinsanity Crash will probably always be the best look for Crash, but N. Sane Trilogy could be my favorite if they change his color a little like make his muzzle and stomach beige like how it was in Nitro Kart, and Twinsanity etc.
"best crash design" twinsanity-TagTeamRacing, those are the only anwsers that i can think xP
Well there’s another episode in the bag! What did you think? Did you agree with me or did you prefer another design?
Just for transparency, I’ve met the guys from Numskull a few times and I pitched the giveaway to them as soon as I saw Tubbz. I thought it’d be a fun extra thing to do given the focus on specific characters in each video! Best of luck if you do choose to enter and thanks again to them for providing the figurine.

Me being tired of school and ready to go bed again again again again and again. 0:06
@DYLAN Plays is a joke bro
Oh boy!I can wait for Rayman redesign!Good luck by the way!
I kinda like the titans design
@@b1uesi1ver66 me too
I loved his Twinsanity look back in 2004! OMG nostalgica hit me hard with a truck!
I do actualy really love the Crash of Titans design. As much as i like the original design, i think Crash of Titans design was just more up of my alley
Cocos design in Mind Over Mutant is my fav too.
I actually really like the Skylanders crash design, it's pretty stylish, but my super favourite design is the crash bandicoot 4 one.
Personally I really liked wrath of Cortex’s and twinsanity’s designs. Obviously the games themselves aren’t as well liked and understandably why, but Crash’s design was in my opinion one of the best
Acc the twinsanity game was received kinda well. The only problems that people had with the game was how rushed it was and you can see with the amount of bugs and cut levels in the code
Twinsanity was well received by fans tho.
BBK113 that’s true, and I personally love the game. It formed my whole childhood growing up. It’s still one of my favorites. But the problems are apparent.
@@josephedwards6406 There is probably a remake in the works rn after they finished nitro fueled. I've heard that twinsanity developers sent a letter congratulating the studio that N sane trilogy and that if one day they decided to remake twinsanity they'd love to help them.
Ryugeki here’s hoping 🤞🏻
Unpopular opinion: I actually like titans Crash Bandicoot design, the only thing is that I think it doesn't go well with the type of game that it is.
I’m not a big fan of it, but I’d LOVE to have it as a skin in ctr
I like Mutant games, people hate it because it's not your typical platformer game
@@HyperVanilo actually it!s cus the combat requires no skill and it’s overall mindless and boring
The original PS1 Crash has the best design. Especially the one used in Crash 2 and 3 (if we're talking in-game models).
Chrimasus I know right
Big fan of Crash Bandicoot and some of the games especially Crash 3.
my favorite design is twinsanitys ingame model. it could just be because its the first crash game i saw, but i really like how it looks, it doesnt have realistic ish fur and it doesnt look too flat.
The crash twinsanity model will always be my favorite. It's just something about the knee pads on the jeans and the gray converses that I really like. At the same time not looking too different from his classic look.
I own every Crash & Spyro game. Love these two Sony mascots
The 2-3 model is so great, especially for the hardware at the time. It's crazy that no one could actually make it better for 20 years! Plus the best version is just a new coat of paint because of more powerful hardware. In the same way that Mario's simple look is never ending, the same goes with those original Crash designs.
Agreed! Those designs from 2 and 3 are simply iconic. Won't be forgetting those ones ever.
OK at this point I just have a list
-King Dedede and Banjo-Kazooie,I have already recommended
-I might've requested Klonoa and if not,that's another one
-Rayman?
-Lastly,I think it would be cool to do Yoshi,since he's had a unique evolution
Forgive me if you've already done videos on any of these guys. I just woke up as of this comment lmao
I really like how they brought back Crash for the Trilogy and gave Coco more playable levels. I love the redesign of Crash looking more detailed. I feel it expanded on what I saw from Twinsanity's Crash.
I really loved the tag team racing design, it was a mix of twin insanity and mind over mutant,
I'm a huge fan of not just Crash's look in Twinsanity, but him being totally silent is a huge plus. He almost gabbers and gibberishes too much in CTR:NF; making him totally silent is a really cool way of forcing the animators to give him character through do don't speak, and it's very reminiscent of how characters like Classic Sonic express themselves. It totally works well as a foil to jabberjaw Cortex.
I personally like the mutant era deisgn for the design alone, but since i grew up with that design it might be a little byas.
I'm probably alone here but I really want a crash bandicoot racing game on modern mobile phones 😅, with that out of the way I would've loved a fuzzy lip crash (same color on chest and mouth) for the remaster 😂, you gotta admit the pink lips look a little funny
You kiddin'? COTT Crash looked great! Sure the gloves are gone, but he still kept the overall impression. In all honesty, it's one of the better designs to come out of the game.
I actually like the tribal tattoos on crash, it just seems kinda fitting and I like the look I hope we see that version cameo in a future game
Hope you also do Coco one day Mark. Can't wait for Spyro.
The Twinsanity design of Crash is my favourite, I have the most nostalgia for it, it seems to be the most iconic look and I really wish that it would return.
I think I figured out why famous well known game characters like Crash and Spyro have gotten their designs changed a lot is because of the change in different game developers. Different developers have their own idea how the character should look and give it their own spin. Crash is not had it as bad in my opinion then Spyro. I like N.sane and CTRNF designs the best for Crash. For Spyro its his Reignited design and Spyro was such a big huge part of my childhood that once I saw how he looked in Skylanders I thought it was a joke and was saddened by how they changed his looks. I feel Reignited is his best design and its the cutest design.
I feel the remake crash’s chin isn’t prominent enough and he just looks less crazed
When I was 4 years old, the first Crash Bandicoot game I've played was Mind Over Mutant, so its design for me is nice. I guess if I played the first game before, i would have another thought about its design.
I liked the Crash of the Titans and Mind over Mutants design!
Those "crash" games where trash
@@gaso3035 I mean I’m 15 so I look at it and I like it it’s for my demographic anyway!
@@jaistar4695 that didn't make any sense
You forgot _Tag Team Racing_
(And it ALSO has Japanese Crash as the default model in that version)
The skylander and of the titans designs are my favorites. Maybe are diferent than the original, but looks great(in fact I have the crash skylander pack)
Honestly, Crash looks and acts pretty much exactly how one would expect the lovechild of Sonic and Mario to look and act.
I love the Mind Over Mutant (In-game) style, I don't know what it is, maybe it's because I have most memories from that game, but that's my favorite style next to the now CTR: NF Crash.
I'd say that Crash's original 2d cartoon design was the most solid design, followed by the Crash 2 and 3 designs.
5:50 TIL crash is inverse Kirby. Where everyone knows Kirby as a cute little puffball and is made to be a little more hardcore in the west, Crash is known for being a crazy boi, and is made to be cuter in Japan.
Thinking about it, I would love to see a potential Neo Cortex vid like this. His design has always been my favorite of the series, especially his more squat designs like in Twinsanity. I know that's probably a super niche vid idea, but I love when you take a gander at the villains. :)
To be honest I like Mind over mutants design over titans because it somewhat similar look to the classic design.
I actually like the skylanders picture you focused on for a while. Very faithful but fresh at the same time
As a kid, my favorite design for Crash was Crash of the Titans.
I'm in near 100% agreement, I do slightly like the more spiky brows in the 1st game, but otherwise the 2nd game had the best model. I think a lot of it comes down to how the triangles are a natural balancing shape in the environment. Rounding them out too much ends up taking away from the end image.
I wish the PS2 model aimed just a bit more for being the 2nd games boxart. It's not terrible though just slightly off. And like someone mentioned, he's missing a bit of the grin. I personally think he could be a little less rubbery in the animations as well.
He's best with a little bit of jerkiness/snappiness to his expression and movement and with a few more harsh edges. He's like the embodiment of a "CRASH!" effect on a comicbook with the spiky highlight around the letters.
Honestly, I like the PS1 design of him
I'm going for Crash's modern day design for the 'N Sane reboots. As if the original render was taken and transformed into a Pixar character with lots of realism crossing with cartoon elements.
My favorite design is the Skylanders design. That mixed everything i love from crash. But the original Will always be the best
Clearly the Twinsanity design takes the cake, like have you SEEN the amount of zips my man has
Be my waifu and I'll make a twinsanity remake happen
crash of the titans and mind over mutant were 2 of my favorite crash games, besides crash tag team racing and N sain trilogy, the games weren't that bad but the design was okay i guess, at the time that i played it i didn't really mind it was a fun game not gonna lie
I can’t say I hated any of the designs. The one with the tattoo hands wasn’t bad at all. It added to the badass character.
I like the design from Crash of the Titans and Crash Mind over Mutant
I love crab Brandicot.
Crash 2 and Warped was my favourite character design.
I love titans crash look
I love Crash of the Titans design the most, 2007-2008, aww, I miss that late ps2 & early x360 era
Sonic2006 🥰 Sonic Unleashed, Burnout: Revenge, Tomb Raider: Legend & Anniversary, such a bangers
Tbh, after seeing Crash's 2007 design, al' previous ones are looking 👀 scary for me 😅
Except for the newest ones (N.Sane Trilogy + late games)
bloody hell 12k, well done mate
Favorite design would have to be Titans or landed Crash. They gave more expression to crash’s face. The only thing I would add to the titans design is gloves
I think the twinsanity design was the best one
..looking back at his mutant/titans design, his tattoos remind me of abe from oddworld....
Yes crash 2 is best design and absolutely crash needs to be made cool again while I love the new design and the wackyness that crash has he’s missing his coolness too him that’s all I want back and he would be perfect
That intro was literally perfect !
I know that PAC-MAN has only had like 2 really good platformer games and he's kinda in his own genre being a maze based game but I would still say he's either the Grandad of Mario Sonic and Crash or he is a part of the Mario & Sonic Trio.
Definitely agree. Warped was my favorite of the original trilogy and that was in no small part thanks to Crash's design.
I like the twinsanity, titans, and the skylanders ones most
