That polar level was legitimately insane. I expected you just to move them slightly and call it a day. The fact that you went as far as you did deserve applause.
the guy is rich, makes videos for a living and can let the game running on its own. considering the little effort needed and his guaranteed income, I would be surprised if he just gave up
When I was really little, like 4 years or so, I played crash twinsanity. Sadly, I could never get past the walrus part, but I still fantasized about the ending. So much so, that one night I dreamt about the ending, and I distinctly remember to this day feeling absolutely mortified as I came up to a giant wall of nitro crates. Ever since, I've thought about various ways you could get past that sort of situation, and this video was really cathartic because of it
crash launches himself into polar instead of simply getting on gently. polar rolls forward from the sheer force, face-planting into the snow, leaving him unable to see or turn away from the nitro crates. ARD blames polar. …
I ABSOLUTELY love this. I know as a franchise Crash doesn't have as much content as others, but people like you keep it going. And these kinds of mods give me a whole new appreciation for the level design. The fact the last warp room was comparitively easier highlights how well designed the difficulty curve is in the game. Also watching the behaviors of Nitro crates when you let them go completely unhinged is hilarious. And that detour to get the perfect roll out on the polar level? I applaud your dedication. Thank you for clearing up EVERY possible question a viewer could have.
How can I praise this enough? The editing in this video is superb and you should be proud. I appreciate that you took your time to explain everything the audience could possibly want to know without rushing through things OR being repetitive. Your writing and narration is incredibly easy to listen to and your visuals and examples made this extremely watchable entertainment even for a casual Crash fan. It's also incredibly impressive that you put so much effort into getting past Bear Down. Congrats on earning a new fan today!
"someone who is actually good at this game can give it a go-" *Makes the most accurate and precise jumps of all time and beats every level with perfect calculations of every possible solution*
I mean he went at it like 5000 monkeys with typewriters trying to write shakespeare, it took a heck of a lot of attempts to achieve that kind of precision, and none of the monkeys actually managed to write all of shakespear in one go.
31:09 Yeah, that's a thing in every Crash game as far as I'm aware. It just happens, and for a brief moment, there's something akin to happiness. And then you choke and cry.
Don't know if you noticed but he responded to your comment in the Crash 1 video saying that those in particular are designed in a way to jump predictably and a very high.
@@arkan_k4c582 Yup, he did. In fact, I think that bit in Crash 4 is possibly the only one when you can slide below Nitro crates because of how they are timed to jump
Dude, this video and the Crash 3 follow up are fantastic The effort put into these is mad. So entertaining and so interesting seeing you break down the full detail of each thing! Really looking forward to any other challenge follow ups you do! Especially if there are any more from this era! I really don't know why these aren't at a over a million yet!
I love the dedication and Research/knowledge you have, I hate when people Do challanges and give up or Skip parts they can't Do without thinking or being creative to really go into it. Respect.
My takeaway: If I ever need to beat Crash 2 with all crates as Nitro whenever there's a stack of Nitros in my way I'll just wait up to 2 weeks for them to discharge themselves and if they are still there I try jumping onto them on hope they don't explode anyway.
Love it! After seeing - but seldomly watching - basically any "Can you beat if ..." challenge for basically any Mario game here on RUclips, I love to see Crash get some much deserved love as well. Keep up the great work!
Well, GameChamp3K did do a CTR challenge run if you're curious (and, far as I'm concerned, she's the one who's made it popular): ruclips.net/video/upEL4ySmVnI/видео.html
I don't know how long it took you to make this video, but just the cheer enthusiasm of doing this challenge to proof if it could be done... I love it! Great video!
I'm glad you have some integrity as a challenge runner, it would've been so easily to just move them or take a cheap victory but you actually tried. A self imposed challenge doesn't mean anything unless you try, when dealing with semantics if you exploit them it can ruin a run. Thanks for that, even if you tried and failed you tried. Trying is everything with these. 10/10 video.
Your dedication is admirable. You running that Bear Down simulation for hours just to prove something possible and actually proving it, I wish more "challenge youtubers" would be this hyper focused on actually beating the challenge rather than making a million exceptions. Great video man!
One of the best Crash Bandicoot videos I've ever watched! I love content like this, The quality level is high off the charts, thank you so much for this!!! You are amazing!!!
Just wanna say, first time watching this you kept me enthralled through the whole video and I've come back several times to this video for background noise and to help me sleep. Such a good video and your passion for Crash is contagious because this got me to try the N Sane trilogy again and I've loved it.
Opening with Rock It's soundtrack, you can't expect me to not like it XD But seriously, love the idea, love the writing (the "no." and the nitro driving into the nitro almost killed me lol) and this demonstrates again how much research you've put into the N. Sane Trilogy!
Hey. I just just stumbled upon this in the feed and I just want to tell you how much I fucking appreciate the fact that you immediately disqualified abusing respawn masks. Too often I find videos of people doing challenge runs only to abuse some mechanic that's only allowed because they decided to word the challenge in just such a way that it was allowed. it always feel cheap af. If you are gonna leave in a cheese for your own challenge run on a technicality, make that the challenge run instead.
btw, I'm perfectly okay with how you handled that polar level. hell, I'd have been fine if you just showed that, yes, they can technically jump that high, cheated them out and continued. I'm sure my previous comment might make this appear like a contradiction but no, I just hate false advertisement.
Dude. I mean.. You have my undoubted respect and the tenacity out of this world. This is one of the best vids I’ve seen in a loooong time. *standing applause*
One thing I noticed after watching possibly too many Crash speed runs, there are instances where you can jump and spin on top of nitro crates to make them explode without taking damage. I don’t think that they would help with the instances that you used your masks on, but thought I’d bring it up. Love this video, can’t wait to get some hands on the editor when it’s complete!
I'm honestly surprised that the remake developers missed that with the second polar level. One of their playtesters was a worldwide top ten speedrunner of the PS1 trilogy. Any strats that they messed up, he was tasked with catching and they were to fix. To the point of intentionally recreating glitches that existed in the original. Anything and everything you could do in the original was supposed to be possible here.
I'm glad this came with it's own challenges and solutions compared to doing a minimum boxes/wumpa run I gave it a shot a while ago and found you can beat the original CB2 with ~50 boxes and 0 wumpa collected (ignoring the item glitch where you can beat the game with 0 of each). Aside from Snow Go and Hangin Out, it's just the boulder and polar levels that have unavoidable boxes, although they have their own ways you can try to lower the amount as much as possible (you can spin while landing on the top box of Snow Go and crawl over the bottom one at the cost of collecting the only wumpa in the game, you can NSS fast enough to de-load most boxes in the boulder levels and rely on the RNG boulder bouncing to get over some others, you can mask abuse Hangin Out to get around the boxes on the grate before getting blocked by that TNT wall, you can skate around the nitro section at the end of the Cold Hard Crash death route to avoid both boxes and wumpa, etc.)
Mighty impressive video. I honestly didn't think it'd be possible, but seeing how many masks were available and your management of them was an eye opener for sure.
This is one of those amazing pieces of content that feels so satisfying to watch. You without a doubt did way more experimentation than I thought you could 😂
Your videos are so good! This is one of the most high quality informative gaming video I've seen in a long time. Few things I'd like to give as suggestions, I would in the future maybe change the audio recording setup, perhaps a better mic, AT 2020 for example. The voice seems a bit phasey, also the plosives come off a bit aggressive. The content is absolutely golden, keep at it!
I mean that polar bear level with those 4 crates, I'm ok with it. Considering you technically beat it legitimately from the crates blowing themselves up on a 1%, cheap but not modded, AND you showed that without that 1% glitch there is a possibility to sneak under the crates, I'd pass it. Can't really argue when you go above and beyond to that extent. That being said, congratz on such an achievement!
You keep outperforming yourself with these videos lad, amazing content, love your indept knowledge and abilities in these games and youre a joy to listen to. Keep at it!
To spend so much time labbing Bear Down to confirm your theories rather than just continuing with justified confidence that they'd work after enough attempts is some serious and highly commendable dedication. Good video.

Impressive. I imagine that you’ll never want to play Bear Down again after this lol.
c'mon ARD don't blame Polar for running into the Nitro , Crash being a goober and constantly trying to wrestle animals he sees is the culprit here.
The dedication and editing and explanation is too damn good. Well done cant say much more than that. 10/10
I'm glad you have some integrity as a challenge runner, it would've been so easily to just move them or take a cheap victory but you actually tried.
