    Loved the video! As someone who’s obsessed with 100% completion in the games I play especially platformers, The crash series is definitely no exception. Probably my favorite platformers of all time(tho I do eventually wanna check out the 2000s games) Even tho I’ve 100% the trilogy twice, I can’t deny, I’ll probably never get myself to go at it with crazy 4 unless I lose my sanity 💀. Like Jesus Christ they really went overboard l.

    I started a new save file a month ago on Crash 4… I have 3 levels left to get all gems and the perfect relic.. then I gotta get the platinum relics and I’ve platinum the game. The first game I’ll have ever platinum… it’s been a month. A month of solid 4-6 hours of gameplay a day. This is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played.

    Fun fact: The cart race in wrath of cortex is way harder to beat doing nothing than it is playing the level. It all depends on what route Crunch goes, and he very rarely does everything perfect enough to be behind you the whole time.

    I wouldn't make a top with the originals and remakes because they're technically the same games, except CTR NF because of the newer mechanics. In terms of difficulty, here's how I would rank them: 1. Crash 4 It's About Time 2. Crash Bash 3. Crash 1 4. Crash Nitro Kart 5. Crash Team Racing / Nitro Fueled 6. Crash 2 7. Crash The Wrath Of Cortex 8. Crash Tag Team Racing 9. Crash 3 Warped 10. Crash Of The Titans 11. Crash Mind Over Mutant 12. Crash Twinsanity The GBA games and Boom Bang are the ones I never played. Starting from 6 I don't find them to be that difficult so it was hard to rank them. I just don't do platinums/dev time trials in the games that have them because I want to keep my sanity, though I got plenty on Warped by just trying, that's why I ranked it so low. Twinsanity is also the easiest for me because outside of 2 or 3 annoying gems, once you nail the platforming it's super easy. As for Bash... the less said about it, the better.

  • @AllStarSpecial_
    @AllStarSpecial_6 күн бұрын

    Yea, I’ve played a bit of Crash Bash, but trying to complete that game sounds like a nightmare. The main reason for including Nsane versions in this list is because time trials make the biggest difference for completion. Stormy Ascent time trial is way harder than anything in the original Crash 1

  • @ThundagaT2
    @ThundagaT26 күн бұрын

    Crash Bandicoot is far from the hardest platformer ever. Almost every platformer on NES is harder if we're just talking about beating the game. Completion wise i get it, but just beating the game i cannot agree with crash being that hard, not even for Crash 1.

  • @AllStarSpecial_
    @AllStarSpecial_6 күн бұрын

    Yea there’s plenty of harder platformers out there even including completion. But I find Crash 1 harder than any of the US Mario Games from that era. And honestly the biggest challenge with games like the lost levels or Metroid is how much progress is lost when you die/game over.

  • @ThundagaT2
    @ThundagaT26 күн бұрын

    @@AllStarSpecial_ Personally the things that make platformers from that era hard for me is not the lives or game overs (although that was definitely a big part of it), its the physics and enemy/hazard placement. Enemy placements tended to be a lot more dickish back then compared to Crash 1 era, and especially nowadays. And jump physics tended to be a lot more rigid compared to later games, so if your jump wasnt good to begin with, you're very likely going to die. But i definitely understand it from the losing progress perspective.

    @@m-biskit4060 How long did it take? I love to keep track of this stuff. I thought I was good at gaming until this came along. Of course, Crash 4 and completionist is innately biased to good gamers. I struggle to just rush the game. I got to credits screen after about 10 hours. Of course, I was new to difficult platformers and had not played much Crash before. Maybe I'll be better in the future. I tried to move towards completion and got to about 15 hours total play with very few extras obtained. I struggled with many elements of this game, though I truly loved the experience and think at least 35% of the game is remarkable. One of the best games of the last 10 years, to my mind. It's the 60% that's iffy, or I simply hate and wish didn't exist, strictly from a game design standpoint. However, the fact you have to get Plat Trials is a step too far. N. Verted was needless. Although Perfect Relics is very difficult, I agree with their existence. I have mixed feelings on other elements, but most are not really relevant to completionist. I really dislike the Masks and struggle with their abilities. I have a feeling that 106% will require 200 or even 500 hours, if I struggled to even move an inch beyond end credits in 15 hours (not even aiming too much for Gems or all Boxes). I struggled with Time Trials even on the first Levels. I completed early Flashback Tapes but struggled to obtain later ones (I could obtain most, for sure, but then completing them is even harder). The final Levels will kill my chances, as I know I can perfect the first levels and/or get lucky with enough tries. The last 5 or 10 Levels of the game will crush me, and that's excluding N. Verted mode. I played on Retro Mode and struggled quite a bit until the N. Trophy Level, then I went to Modern Mode, and it was a nightmare until the end of the game, other than a few Levels that were okay. The final Levels had about 4 difficult sections that required like 200 deaths in total (80 + 70 + 30 + 20). I've seen people die more than that, but to be good at the game means you can do all that stuff in about 20 deaths or something! I know going for every Box will kill me closer to 1,000 times for these difficult sections. That's dozens of hours just for that! By that stage, I'm either good enough to do the whole thing without dying, or I'm never getting 106%. Not going for 106% yet, though. Going to do it on PS4 slowly, slowly... P.S. It was a bit harder for me. I was on Switch with 30 fps and fairly bad controls and imperfect visuals. I assume PS4/PS5/PC is a bit easier with 60 fps, controls, and graphics. Most people that get 106% do it on a better system than Switch, though there are a few players that got 106% on Switch in under 100 hours, so yeah.
