The game has a counter for each time you bounce on an object however the game doesn't give you items for bouncing on a crate. After about 200 bounces the game is set to give you a crystal. when you land on the ground the game is supposed to reset the counter to zero, however if you perform certain moves you can trick the game into thinking you are still in the air as a result he can just kill 25 seals and receive 25 crystals making the game think he has completed all 25 levels. hope this helps.

Any idea why the game is set to do that? The only purpose I can think of for such a thing would be to give a really bad player a way to progress at least a little.

Christian Nicholas basically the whole game is represented by digital numbers: life count, X-Y-Z coordinates for crash, box type, the geometry of crystals and everything else. So they checked where in memory is the number that represents red crystals count and figured out a way to increase it without picking up the crystals themselves.

The game gives you rewards if you jump on multiple enemies in a row. The initial bouncing on the crate is to get the memory address of the reward to overflow to the location that is for getting crystals. Now, for some reason, the bounce counter doesn't reset if you do spin>crouch after you land on enemies, so he does that so he can keep jumping on enemies in order to get the 25 crystals needed to "beat" the game.

Crash has pockets the size of a country.

When you trying to smuggle crystals oversea

There are 2 endings depending on if you got all of the gems or not. In the "true ending" the Cortex Vortex is destroyed by a large energy beam fired by N. Brio's laser powered up by the gems. A bit more satisfying then the main ending in my book.

Congratulation, you reinvented Boss Rush !

This has to be one of the most infamous "Any% is dead" glitches out there ^^

Man, how do people find out stuff like this? Just crazy impressive.

I can't believe how fast Rixer slides in this run, now I really wanna see him run the whole game, any% style.

I like to think this was found out by leaving the game on (to eat lunch or something) and spamming a move all the way to the end XD just a random though (and love his victory dance on the krocks XD)

There's still -1 crystals to obtain

Nah its different. TAS is about perfection in theory, live play is about perfection in playing (which has allways errors). Most live players will use a TAS as a guideline of the "optimal" route, the best you can do, and try to use parts of the TAS they might somehow emulate themself to get a better time. A nice TAS is great to watch and shows perfection of every detail in a game for the best possible time.

Wow. The memories of this game when I was young PS1 . One of the greatest classics . Great speed run . Very entertaining

WOW MINDBLOWN this is one of my favourite games i can't believe glitches like exist, just shows if you're willing to try... EVERYTHING... you get rewarded

This is my favourite game ever!!!

I think someone looked at the game's coding and found that bouncing on things goes something along the lines of 1 wumpa 2 wumpa continuing until it gets to 100 wumpa where it gives out lives and then at 100 lives it gives you a power crystal, or something like that, and since he has bounced so many times the game has trouble figuring out weather the bouncing done was on a crate or on an npc which gives out wumpa each time, then killing 20 seals will give you 20 crystals. hard to explain in 500ch

Gotcha. Makes sense now. Thanks.

The most soul crushing intense gameplay in 1:16 - 4:22

There is a limit to the number of crystals, however, once the number exceeds 300, you get gems. At 518, you get the color gems.

Forgot to mention that there is a specific number of bounces required to trigger it.

This has something to do with the rewards you get by jumping on enemies multiple times. You start getting more and more fruits per jump. The game does not have a cap programmed into it to stop the reward counter from getting higher, so jumping for 10 minutes straight and then landing after hitting an enemy forces the pointer to roll over to different adresses and gives you gems and crystals intead.

Well, I think it may be intentional for the normal boxes that break when you jump on them, but then they just used the same function for the metal boxes. Just a guess, but I suppose it's not entirely intentional.

Night fright was originally going to be like stormy asent

Thats insane!

1) you get increasing bonuses for doing more jumps in a row 2) 1-up has a certain value, say 7 if you need 7 jumps 3) the value for picking up a crystal is let's say 200, and they assumed that no one would ever jump 200 times in a row and actually mix up the two values

Should really have that guy in the next Live stream marathon. Crash was one of the first games I had on PS1.

For some reason in that particular area, the times you bounce in the metal box somehow are related to the percentage of the game so when he lands he immediately crouches to keep the counter in the number of bounces because at some point the counter converts the value of an enemy kill to a crystal.. thats why he bounces of the seals the number of crystals in the game (25) that cliking sound is the indication of the enemy kill value converted to a crystal aquire value.

Maybe it was linked to the jump animation done when jumping on an enemy maybe?

yo nada más me pregunto... como descubrió esto el usuario??? dejo a crash saltando mientras se comía sus tacos? jajaja ?xD

LEVIATHAN McIntyre Usan un metodo que se llama datamine que traducido es "minar a través de los datos" del juego y encuentran errores que se provocan al realizar ciertas acciones en cierto orden y repetidas veces.

I got a PS1 recently and I gotta say, the trick isn't too hard to do. But what's really hard is doing it consistently and not throwing yourself into a pit at the same time.

i miss my ps one..... i miss this game

Basically the 'memory' of the game can only go so high so that many bonces actually corrupts it and that is why he ends up with all the crystals. (this is a basic explanation i'm not sure of the correct technical terms)

Skip to 5:30

IIRC, it has something to do with memory corruption

glitching the game for the crystals. he bounces on the box 200 times to get his multiplier extremely high, then bounces on the seals to get a crazy chain kill multiplyer which gives him all the crystals at the end

I'll start doing it continuously when I get better internet hopefully soon and can start streaming it.

I don't know the exact science but the infinitely spawning enemies and the action of bouncing corrupts the game's data registry to the point where it just gives him all of the games' crystals instead of 1.

awesome run

Sort of this. He bounced so much he changed the values of the enemies to Crystals. Each one killed counted as a crystal and that's how he skipped so much stuff.

If you want to skip the jumping from 01:19, it stops at 5:20

I'm curious, would Gears of War 3 be a game someone could speed run? Iv'e been working on it today and I think I may get a good time eventually. Right now I beat it in 4:45:37 not fully knowing where to go or what to do.

Yw

spin slide spin slide jump spin slide

surely to glich the game, how or where I can't say

If it was a TAS then it was probably something that normally a person couldn't perform consistently.

awesome skip he discovered.

so every time he hits a seal he is getting a crystal?

You probably don't know why but as a programmer I don't understand why the programmers would up the enemy hit counter by jumping on a box. Do you know of a certain reasoning behind this? Is it just something the programmer's didn't check for and is a glitch just for that reason? Or is there a specific reason?

I tricks the game into thinking every jump is getting him a gem, which memory corrupts it to unlock every level

Thanks

Does this work in n sane trilogy?

90% sure it doesn't. Haven't tried though.

Like a boss.

Is that a crystal in your pants or are you happy to see me?

I bet he's just fucking with us: "I can waste time on nothing and STILL get the WR"

Get 1 crystal, break it into 26 pieces. You now have 26 crystals. Easy

actually, as you can see when he exits the level, it triggers a glitch that makes him get a shitload of gems, presumably to advance through the story faster

FrankerZ!

to speedrun the fastest, one must remain still

It's a glitch that for some reason, after you jump 200 times on that box, gives you a crystal for each seal you jump on. The *click* you hear after each kill is a crystal being unlocked. Don't ask me how the fuck somebody managed to figure that out though.

WHAT?!

my guess is there is a buffer overload on the jump counter, what happens when it hits a buffer overflow (ie 8 bit? ps1???) it will continue on to the next bits, which most likely contain the crystals.... someone spent a LONG time looking at the assembly code for this game to find it

oscarleorico he keeps gaining points, which gives him crystals. Its a really weird thing. The game will give you loads of stuff for points, like lives, crystals, and gems. its possible to get every crystal and gem in the game this way. I am shocked it took this long for a speedrun to come up abusing it.

+Ethan S it's not the game giving you crystals for jumping, the runner is basically internally rewriting the code of the game by doing a sequence of moves that alters the payload at the end of the level.

/watch?v=qc7XIHitGb0 Here's explanation of this bug, enjoy :3

Huh. Son of a Glitch led me to believe you'd only see the crystal animation once if you paused the game after the first one.

after he was jumping for ages when he jumped on the seals they acted as pink crystals needed to finish the game.

can someone explain what is going on at 01:19? How does all this bouncing help the speedrun?

Thanks to alexdeathswordwiz3 i now understand the mechanics of the trick! What is still a mystery to me is how did they figured that out? when there is a famous (or infamous) glitch/trick in a game, most of the time it looks so cryptic! I don't think it's random

might as well call it a boss rush mode

I think it somehow glitches the game so you get more that one crystal

Seems like so. Glitches are errors by making something that the programmers didn't expect you to do. Nobody would have though someone would actually bounce 200 times in a jump crate.

Can someone confirm what happened ?

Increible

Crash bandicoot %any speedrun but only bosses

Glitching the game, he has to hit the box i think 200 times (?) and then kill like 20 seals and then the game thinks he has every single crystal ingame, which allows him to fight only the bosses

This made me look like a noob :'(

haha, yeah...I guess it would! xD

It allows boss fightin to be skipped!

so pro

1:26 WTF, why you stay here ???

Uhm yes ... Da fuq is dis? 1:19 -? What shall that be?

Is this some kind of glitch in the game?
