- I've done three spinless runs on one game, so I think it's time for something different.

So THIS is what you were up to, everything makes sense now! I do have one thing that should be mentioned:
6:20 - This box and the two boxes in the bonus can't be hit with a slide jump on PAL, since for some reason PAL lowers your jump height VERY slightly. However, you can hit it with a full jump bodyslam, meaning even on PAL you can still break them without double jump.
Other than that, this is quite the eye opener. I'm glad someone finally managed to explain what crystal duplication is in a nice and easy to understand way. I've been meaning to do that for a while, so thanks for adding that info in. :)
It's always strange to look back at this game and think "yeah, this game has the modern va for crash, the war face meme guy, biff, and mark Hamill in it."
I always knew R. Lee Ermy as the Green Army Sergeant from Toy Story.
Duuude, don't disrespect Sergeant Hartman like that.
I tried playing the game with your rule of not using the belly flop until you get the super belly flop, and omg, I've never felt more glad to get the super belly flop in my life. It felt like an actual reward instead of something I just pick up for 106%
@@Nobody_Shroom See? This one gets it!
My headcanon, the reason coco doesn't have her phone grenade is because she forgot to charge it beforehand making the explosives unable to go off.
Either that or she got a phone that won't detonate.
For your sake, I'll assume she forgot to charge it.
She got a Samsung phone???
I see what you did there with the Bermugulan Slagvord reference, love me some crash content, good work fellow Aussie!
Even as an adult I've never made it past water crunch so this was both fascinating (as I've binged the others) and "ooh so that's what the rest of the game looks like" lol
I remember I used to be stuck on that part and when I finally beat it I was so glad
Love this game so much, a lot of nostalgia, don't care about the hate it gets its was the last legit Crash game.
The It’s About Time in the room:
I'd like to think of Wraith of Cortex as Crash 5 on the timeline
Pressing SELECT to warp to the end of level 4 also works in the EUROPEAN PS2 BLACK LABEL version. Just so peoples know.
It does? Cool.
Doesn't apply to me since I have the Platinum release, but good to know.
A friend of mine has the Platinum release, and so did I, until recently, as I managed to get the Black Label one (Nordic treatment with packaging) with acceptable price and I had to give it a shot while wanting to see what the "horrid load times" -stuff was all about. And yee, it did work, that skip.
These versions are internally v1.03 and v2.01 in Europe, for peoples who like this kind of fancy trivia stuff.
While it has its flaws, I liked this game when it came out, and still have fond memories of playing it. Thanks for including it in your challenge series.
I used wombat code so my family can play every level without invading my save
0:53 was Crash's origins as Willy the Wombat known to the public at the time
I believe so.
@@DrRank neat
Technically if you fight immortality with immortality no one would win because there both immortal
4:02, Crash said: Sonic who’s that?, Rolling around at the speed of sound got places to go gotta stop Neo cortex!, Can’t stick around gotta keep woahing on!, guess what lies ahead only one way to find outtttt 😂
I love this video! I used to always play TWOC, it’s so nostalgic to me
Black hole glitch cloning was really introduced in crash wrath of cortex
nice video and thanks for the shoutout :)
Well, that's an interesting challenge! I'll do it myself too! :D
There’s videos are really funny and we’ll edited,good job!
The leggo empire claimed this video
Glad I could be there for your streams! I be there when you do another! I aslo have a question, will you do Streams of spryo 3 charneless
I probably won't stream that one. In fact, Seashell Shore has me debating whether to even attempt it.
luv your videos keep it up
The real Crash Bandicoot 4
Based
In Japan, it's actually called Crash Bandicoot 4: Burst! Devil Spirit Power.
And to answer your next question, It's About Time is called Crash Bandicoot 4: Unexpected Multiverse.
@@DrRank w.h.a.t. the names are actually pretty creative for me
@@DrRank why didn't they give us those names?
Are they biased?
@@elainejones9400 To be fair, the English names came first
6:26 "that can only be reached with a double jump"
Mmmno, a crouch jump belly flop barely gets you enough height. It's stupid precise, but still another way.
Useless for your personal rule though.
See, that's the thing. Apparently the jump is only impossible in PAL, because Crash jumps slightly lower. NTSC players can get this Gem first try.
Also, I didn't think any game besides It's About Time let you Belly Flop out of a Crouch Jump without spinning.
@@DrRank Ahhh, I see, mb. What a weird thing to change. Crash's jump heights honestly on occasion weren't quite enough for comfortable traversal of certain levels (at least when I was a kid, the target audience) so it being shrunk baffles me.
Thanks for the knowledge nonetheless!
12:13 what is that animation from?
Crash Tag Team Racing. Specifically Die-O-Rama #33: Defenestrated
@@DrRank thx
Dont know why but Cortex at 16:38 is funni
I always thought his design was weird in this game
@@DrRank Yeah, it is. Just Wrath of Cortex as a whole looks like that.
It gives me nightmares, Wrath of Cortex is more scary than any horror game I have ever played.
I'm not quite understanding your rules.
You said you have a personal rule to not use the regular body slam until you have the super version, but....why? It's not a spin so I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed.
It's just something I do in casual runs to make the Super Belly Flop actually feel valuable.
And frankly, something they probably could have actually implemented.
A downward kick ability for the copter-pack (idk what that spelling is for it, haven’t read the manual in ages) would of been ideal
But which button would it use?
@@DrRank not sure if it would matter much, but square or circle (I play it on ps2) would be my best guess
Is there a color blind traveler’s tale’s employee.
That would be funny.
Awesome vid. Any chance you are going to do crash 4 any time?
Soon as the Jak and Daxter video is done, I'll start on it.
I always found it dumb that you couldn't access the secret levels without beating the game, unlike Warped where you could access it as soon as you got five Relics.
I remember this game. For some reasons, it looks weird, and the animations are so slow, I'm almost afraid in some levels ^^'
But I remember the 4th boss level, one of the best I've ever played
Can you do this challenge but with Crash Bandicoot 99X for the Tiger Electronics?
That would require me to own it.
And also to record it.
Oh well, I've completed this game 106% too. Who needs the Wombat cheat code when you can do it legit without even spinning?
Niccceeee
1:39 - but why, what's the logic here?
@@steelbear2063 As it stands, the Super Belly Flop is the most useless Superpower in the game, being potentially the last thing you do for 106% completion.
By locking the standard Belly Flop behind it, the SBF becomes a much more significant upgrade, and there is a greater incentive to go for it earlier in the playthrough.
@@DrRank
Wait, I don't understand. You're saying that you don't get regular belly flop until you get an upgraded version of belly flop?
Am I reading this right?
@@steelbear2063 That's how I play it.
@@DrRank
Ah, okay, that's how you play it, for a second I thought that was how the game works.
Still leaves the question of why.
It's not like boxes can't be broken with regular belly flop, what's so special about the upgraded one that you are willing to add extra playthtoughs of some levels?
@@steelbear2063 I already explained it in the first reply. It's about improving the game design.
You do know you can actually destroy the iron crates with the regular belly flop right? You basically made this challenge harder for yourself than it needed to be
I'm aware. I just wasn't allowed to use the regular Belly Flop. That's how I like to play TWoC, because it gives the Super Belly Flop a proper reason to exist.
Im waiting for you to slide in my dms as soon as you get to OTT and MOM
Not gonna do spinless for them, but I've got something much more interesting in mind...
How dare you pronounce words like you do! I'm litterally shaking and crying rn
Cool, i thought this wouldn't be possible since i remember TDYU did a similar challenge and failed it but i think he missed a glitch or two you used it. The super belly flop rule was weird but it worked out in the end and i was surprised you got such a high percentage completion. cheers!
I think the Black Hole in Crashteroids hadn't yet been found at the time of that video.
11:32 so that's where it came from
9:33p.m. 7/20/2023
Enjoyed the video, but question many people have been asking: Will you do twinsanity, Since Ik you're not gonna do COTT and MOM, since those have the spin, but you won't use it, since throwing hands is better, and 2: They're not good.
I will definitely be doing Twinsanity. Expect it in June.
As for the Titans games, I've got a different challenge in mind for them...
Im pretty sure you can destroy those metal crates from the start....
I know.
yo!! I need your help broooo! How do I do the casual walk *not running and using power up
Just tilt the joystick slightly.
@@DrRankI will try setting the sentivity. Later will tell if it works.
@@DrRank OH MY GOSH THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH IVE TRYING TO KNOW HOW TO DO THE SLOW WALK IN PLAYSTATION BECAUSE I ALMOST NEVER OWNED A CONSOLE EVER
@@DrRank thank you so much bro, you saved my life
Why is there a lvl named h2 oh no
Because "H2O Oh No" was too hard to pronounce.
True story.
