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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

I love the N.Sane Trilogy, but Crash 2-3’s model will always be my favorite, he looks perfect there

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.

Oh my god, I watched this the moment I woke up and that intro will be remembered all day.

Curious to see what you think of the new design for "Crash 4 It's About Time!"

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.

The PS1 or the Twinsanity one. The remake is getting close but still lacks some of the funniest expressions. Bomberman best design video when?

Grew up with the original trilogy but I always loved that twinsanity-tag team racing era of design

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.

Back at it again. Lmao that intro was 10/10

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.

But who knows, maybe we'll see in the next pack.

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 own every Crash & Spyro game. Love these two Sony mascots

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.

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.

Honestly, Crash looks and acts pretty much exactly how one would expect the lovechild of Sonic and Mario to look and act.

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.
