Crash Bandicoot 2 - 100% speedrun in

- This is my latest speedrun of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back! I have since obsoleted this time, but there's no video on TH-cam of the new run yet. But this run is still pretty good!
Not a commentary fan? Right this way. • Crash Bandicoot 2 - 10...
If you ever want to watch me do some speedrun attempts live, this is the place to go: / mrbean35000vr
So! How does one take an already good run and cut another 8 minutes from it? Well, a change in hardware, some new tricks, and less deaths. This run was played on a real PAL PS2 slim with Fast Disc Speed enabled, which saves huuuuuge time on level loading. However, even without FDS, this run is faster than my old 1:29:39. Strictly speaking, this new run is actually 1:20:50.95, but I don't care enough to nitpick over it. Round it up and be done :P
Like my old run, this video is commentated by me (MrBean35000vr) and Chadderz, my younger brother. The left side banner was made by me, and the clock belongs to Chadderz. Hope you appreciate both of them as they sure took a while to make!
A brief breakdown of this run, then. There were 5 accidental deaths this time around, of which only one was particularly terrible. The other 4 were due to my sheer incompetence at life but wasted less than 10 seconds apiece. All in all, I got very lucky with where I died. In particular, Warp Room 4 did not troll nearly as hard as usual, much to my pleasure.
So, for those new to Crash 2 speedruns, allow me to share with you some information about movement techniques.
The primary method of movement is Neutral Slide Spin, or NSS. To perform it, do a slide, then release the d-pad button or analog stick, and press spin before the slide ends. If you don't release the direction, your spin will be slow, but it's fast if you don't! A very fun and challenging way to play.
Glitched high jumps can be performed by spinning as you leap off the ground in a slide or crouch jump. These insanely high jumps can be used to jump to ledges or clear holes that are supposed to be impossible to clear.
The game allows you to keep crystals and gems in death, so deathwarping is viable in this game. It is used whenever dying is a faster method of going somewhere than walking there.
There are many other tricks, but YT descriptions aren't allowed to be too long. Watch the video for more!
This run was a long, long time coming, so I hope it is enjoyable to watch. Thanks to everyone who's been supportive while I sat there and reset and reset and reset and reset :P
Special thanks go to a few people; trihex and pirohiko for being my original inspiration. Sword0fSeals for being a boss and inventing strats and sitting there through tons of my runs while doing his own. Chadderz, because commentary among other things. CaneOfPacci for keeping those Crash leaderboards running (see docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...) and the other members of the Crash speedrunning community for various reasons, primarily for picking such a good set of games to speedrun :P
With that said, please enjoy, and thanks for watching/reading! - เกม

I still come back to this speedrun, absolute masterpiece
same since 2015
same
Same
Same
I come back to this every few years thanks to the commentary.
...Hell, I thought I'd have a tiny little glance, a blast from the past, then I blink and it's eighty minutes later. Brilliant speedrun, fascinating commentary and, at the end of the day, a real pleasure to watch. Damn good show.
+TamiyaGuy Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely great commentary. Made watching this speedrun extremely entertaining
mandatory watch every 6 months or so
This is the most relaxing and best commentated speedrun that there is ♥
We brits do a good job of being laid back in these things. lmao.
@@abathurx9500
Yank: OOOH this part of the run, it's actually fucking INSAAAANE BROOOOO
Anglo: Ah, yes, I believe this particular trick requires 4 frame-perfect inputs in rapid succession. I must say, it's quite the pickle tickler!
It's nice hearing commentary on a speedrun for once.
It is relaxing to see an entire game in just an hour or so but it's nice to hear the ins and outs of how they done it.
sonic meerkat the crash n sane looking better eh? I'm excited.
i'm not, personally don't like the texture work.
especially crashes model, it has fur textures but no actual fur.
it looks like he's covered in hair gel for me and i just don't like it.
sonic meerkat ugh...
Oh come on!! Really?!
sadly so, i am glad they're adding extra modes and moves in though.
even if it's just the crash 3 moveset in all the games which would be easier to code than 3 individual ones, and the time trials just tend to change boxes and fruit around.
now the original trilogy being easy to access for new audiences is always great, more crash fans to support the series if crash doesn't get relegated to skylander only like spyro did.
hell the skylanders are the big reason i'm not excited, i know that if i support it it won't make a new crash game like megaman legacy collection (or whatever the PS4 one is called) didn't make a new megaman game, it's just marketing to make more money and with a slue of crash reviews coming out youtubers child audiences will see that crash is also in skylanders and buy it, by the next game he'll be on the sidelines of the series.
+sonic meerkat You're such a nitpicker.
This is so satisfying
Java its so satisfying even though its a 4 year video and CRAHS BANDICOOT WAS REMASTERED FOR PS4
Goomba ____ yeah but you can't do any of that in that remaster lmao
Extremely entertaining commentary. I know you've improved this time on your Twitch channel, but I always find myself coming back to watch this one.
People laugh at me when I tell them I still love to play PS1 games, but you know, the graphics may suck but I love it, and games like these are classics.
Shutter Speed Maybe those people didn't get a PS1 or were late to the party.
I still play PS1 games. Crash games aged well, the gameplay is smooth.
*****
Water effects and especially the waterfalls in Crash Bandicoot 2 look beautiful, considering the hardware limitations present.
Terri Coverly
you should laugh at them for what they're missing out on. ps1 is the greatest console ever
They are stupid, actually the graphics are very good
+shikar najmadeen I use an emulator ;) all tho it's illegal xD
I wish more speedrunners did this after-run commentary because it's fascinating and hilarious. This might be my favourite video on TH-cam.
Really well done. This was the first speed run video which I've watched I've watched others and they don't compare to this. I like how you both bring in facts or glitches a player may have not known. Keep up the good work and keep the commentary team the same. Forget what the haters say. Good stuff!
Waqaas Ali Thanks!
+MrBean35000vr Excellent job, Merry Christmas by the way. :)
+MrBean35000vr *tries to play normally* ugh *does slide spin, glitch high jump, and wiggle* wait this ain't a speedrun, but maybe I should do a speedrun.
@@MrBean35000vr where have you guys gone ?
This is one of the greatest commentaries I've heard of a speedrun. I like that it's recorded after it's played, so that they're not stressed out. Often times, it'd be nice to watch the gameplay without some obnoxious commentary, but this is brilliant.
I think I have watched this run about 3-4 times and I am always satisfied. The commentary along with the amazing gameplay makes this easily in the top 5 runs in my opinion.
This run is really entertaining! Unfortunately many speedruners are very quiet and concentrated and don't talk much. And I really like commentary on speedrunnnig techniques and yout Video is exacly that :)
I don't know who you watch, but most I watch seem to talk a fair amount. They don't start to get quiet/focus unless it's a possible urn which only happens maybe 1-2 times max in a streaming session.
Speech was recorded after the actual try
Legendary run and commentary, can't believe this was almost 11 years ago now.
Wow. I thought I knew my all time favourite game. This not only made me feel like a newbie with playing the game, but it also taught me new tricks I didn't even know existed (like the running at the top of Piston it Away and the "wiggle" jump, I knew I wasn't insane with thinking that wiggling the controller helped and yet i felt silly!).
Also, that Brio ending with him getting trapped in a cyclone had me laughing super hard. Great video and great commentary.
Two brothers just chilling and talking about Crash Bandicoot 2 in general and its speedrunning techniques makes for such a lovely time watching this video, I love it!! I'm halfway through it and it feels like time's flying
thank you. it was enjoyable to listen to you guys explaining stuff, and besides, you sound like good friends. rarely do I hear such positive speedrun
I think I have watched you two do this at least 10 times
I love that it's two brothers together
Reminds me of me and my brother where we were younger
The commentary is brilliant!
Thank you guys
I always come back to this speedrun because you guys are so awesome! I love watching this.
10 years later, still showed up on my recommendations and good that it did! Great run and a super entertaining commentary. Felt a bit proud when you said "there is no way a kid would figure all this out" after unlocking the first secret exit. This was the first console game I ever played, back in 1997, 7 years old. Had no internet but managed to somehow get 100%. Probably took forever 😅
This is the best commentary I have EVER heard on a speedrun. THANK YOU!
I actually watched both of your Crash 2 runs this week, because they are an absolute pleasure to watch. Nostalgia and speed-running talent aside, your commentaries are always really interesting and incredibly down to earth. Your enthusiasm and humour is a real breath of fresh air when it comes to gaming commentaries, especially speed run commentaries.
it's really satisfying watching you speedruning this game with a really entertaining comentary
I was just looking through crash bandicoot videos on YT, and happened to stumble across this beauty, this is so nice. It's hard to find speedrunners that do good commentaries on their runs too, so thank you for that.
This was the most enjoyable commentary I've heard, great video!
Cold Hard Crash blew my mind. Getting all the boxes on that level haunted me as a child... Well done!
This is an amazing speedrun of an amazing game! :D Great job
Stupid
meandre allen why is he stupid?
@@thebackro0ms Shut up
The commentary made this even more entertaining to watch! thanks for doing this guys.
This is great. You cover a lot of helpful strategies and you do a great job speed running, and the commentary just makes it that much better :)
This video inspired me to buy Crash 2 and a PS2 and learn 100%. I loved the commentary so much that I wanted to be able to do it too. Crazy how shaving off another 8 minutes took 2 years
This is so awesome! I grew up with Crash 2 and I love how you guys actually talk through the tricks that you're using as you're playing, as well as where the hidden paths are! A lot of runs I've seen tend to use gamer terms for the tricks used and I never understand what they mean, nor what you need to do in order to perform them.
So entertaining to watch, thats literally the only speedrun that Ive watched in one sitting. Awesome commentary really really helpful for me attempting my own speedrun, thanks for the awesome video
Rip I just watched it again
Not only he speedruns amazingly fast but he also speaks extreamly fast
This was awesome, thanks guys. This was my favourite game when I was young. Still can't believe you ended with 60+ lives without even doing the bear trick in warp 2.
To de date, this is still one of my favorite speedruns, really entertaining!
Can't believe this video is 5 years old already :o
Even though I've been a gamer for over 22 years, this is the first speedrun I'm witnessing today. HOLY HELL YOU ARE BLOWING MY MIND - literally (with your masterful skill), because you're making me rethink the countless hours I 100% this game with a friend back when I was 9 when this game first came out.
Thanks for posting the vid, and I look forward to exploring more speedruns of my favorite childhood games!
These dudes are like sports commentators. I have never been so into a speed run before this one, good commentary!
That was amazing. You guys sound like very professional walkthrough'ers and really great to listen to and watch.
Good shit man! I really enjoyed watching all the little tricks you can do that I never knew about back then. It was amazing to see how fast you completed this. Thank you for being godlike!
The truly ridiculous thing though is that nowadays this run has been beaten by over 10 minutes, which positively blows my mind :P
You lads are so well spoken, could listen to you talk for hours
I find myself coming back to this speedrun again and again as there isn't one quite like it. Always so enjoyable to watch.
I'm hoping that you guys make a speedrun for the remastered game. I'd love to see that.
This has got to be my favorite CB2 speedrun. Great commentary and gameplay guys!
This is really fun to watch, and the commentary just puts it over the top. Keep up the good (no, great) work!
I've watched this video several times now, and I really enjoyed it every damn time! Excellent run and entertaining, informative commentary! Thanks!
Something about the fact that you're brothers and both knowledgeable about crash speedrunning is really funny to me. Wish my siblings and I had that kind of dynamic. The tidbits of mechanics along with the natural chemistry of the banter made this a really fun watch.
Still, it took an awful long time for that dynamic to emerge. When we were younger, he and I were constantly at war with each other. It took growing up and mellowing out for us to finally go, "Yeah, this dude's actually pretty cool" and thus a proper friendship started to emerge. It does help we have relatively similar hobbies, though, heheh. Maybe the same will happen with you and your siblings, you never know what the future will bring. Anyways, glad you enjoyed!
I love every second of this video, I love the commentary, the run and the Crash HUD on the left :D
Still one of my fave bit of Crash 2 content. Insightful and bloody entertaining
Excellent speed run, loved every minute of it. Throughout the run I was like yeah that's right, yeah that's it! Nobody else I know seems to understand all the tiny bits and pieces, so glad to have found this!
one of the best speedruns and the commentary makes it entertaining
I saw this video 6 years ago and youtube decided to recommend it for me again, I forgot how fun it was to watch your stream, now I am wondering what are you guys up to these days
Nowdays, I'm mostly streaming Mario Kart Wii. It's been a while since I last played Crash 2, although me and Chadderz did do a live commentary of the recent 100% TAS of the game, for a bit of fun and as a nostalgia trip. That's over on my Twitch if you're curious, in the highlights section.
How many heart attacks did you guys have watching this?
I had 52.
ha... ha...
I would ask if it was one for each gem but there are 42 gems...
474736374748279977183 !!!
It was OVER NINE THOUSAAAAANDD!!!! Lol jk
Really great run and really entertaining commentary over it, made it really enjoyable and interesting to watch this
This will remain a pleasure to watch. The commentary, equally, is brilliant! :)
Amazing commentary, very pleasant. Incredible skills! Awesome video!
So refreshing to have a well commented speed run, longer ones are boring without them. Top quality
I didn't realize how entertaining speed runs were
Somehow I always come back here because this is, my personal opinion, the best speedrun ever: really fast, completely satisfying and great and funny commentary
Heheh, glad you enjoy it!
I think I speak for a lot when I say I'm extremely grateful for you toning down the game volume this time. It really gave us a great appreciation the commentary just like last time. Only this time, it was much easier to hear you guys, which was especially helpful considering at times, you guys talk faster than an auctioneer on coffee.
Amazing run, bean. Looks like sub 1:20 is a solid new goal. Hope to see more from you.
This series of crash would of made a good cartoon. Nice speed run btw
Man, I had no idea watching a speedrun could be so intriguing! Great commentary, guys.
I’m only a minute in and the commentary is beautiful. Excellent work.
I was at the stream when you set this time, and I watched through the whole video. Great commentary Bean and Chadderz. These new strats in Road to Ruin and Hangin' Out were crazy. The best part is that there's still time to be saved too.
The amount of precision is immense. The requirement for perfection is high and maintaining a constant run at that quality .. is great.
The greatest compliments you will receive is the admiration from gamers who are in envy of your skill :)
I don't care about the gameplay that much, I keep rewatching this because you 2 have a "charm" in your commentary. well done folks
This is absolutely amazing. Good work, friend!
This is mad! I used to play Crash Bandicoot back on the PS2 and i never knew there was all this easter eggs and secrets! I didn't even know people could do it this fast aha! Mad video.
Encontré este video hace años, y hasta el día de hoy lo disfruto al máximo cada vez que lo veo. Excelente Speedrun, excelente comentario.
I came for the speed run but the commentary has made me watch this video 4x. Great work.
Watched the whole thing, very enjoyable and congratulations on the new record!
This is very awesome! Please do more speedruns with commentary. I actually spent the last few days playing through this game again, and I always thought I was pretty good, but you make me look soo awful. I'm just glad we share the same view on those ruin levels.
This game is a classic, no doubt about it! I grew up on this game and had to play it now that I'm an adult and want to feel like a little kid again!
I've made only main storyline and never 100%. You made 100% under one and half hour.
Sir. I salute you
I'm going to come back and comment on this video every time I watch it until we get another glorious dual commentary crash 2 run. NST be damned, OG is the best.

25OCT23, still watching.
22JAN24
Memories. As a kid I used to 100% it. I looked through every nook and cranny to discover some secrets as I didn't have a guide and there wasn't no internet yet.
Wow, so fun and interesting to watch. Also, it's a very good idea to add your comments in live
Thanks
Seeing this live was pretty damn awesome. Well done dude! :)
The anxiety when crash starts to melt away and I know that I didn't finish everything, this is brilliant!
Dude, you're amazing. This is my favorite childhood game.
An impressive run indeed. Great job dude!
Having played this game as a child, not being able to do have of those damn gems and seeing how you actually get them AS WELL AS watching it being done so smoothly? Oh my :D You sir are awesome!
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE XD
Really enjoyed the constant commentary. Would not have fully watched the video without it
that was amazing! thanks for the vídeo, this was real nostalgic and you guys rock! greetings from Brazil!
crash then daxter and busters think speed ball meets nights then joe and the volcano bonus greetings from honolulu.
That was seriously fast- I couldn't keep up on Snow Go! Anyways thanks for inspiring me to do speedruns! :D (even though my times seem slow to yours)
One of the few times I enjoyed a commentary!
Awesome man, i found these secrets when i was little, but seeing it you do it, makes me feel nostalgic and proud that i even found 3 of them :D. I watched the whole speedrun and you are very good, i did the technique as a child with the dashspin move :). Awesome vid and nice commentary, i really enjoyed it ^^!+
Congrats on both the run and teh amazing commentary bean:)
You should do more of these, Bean! Really entertaining to watch :)
Thougroughly enjoyed this! Amazing job!
this is the greatest speedrun of all time
i've watched it at least 50 times now
Awesome run. I love speedruns with commentary.
Absolutely amazing speed run.
I love watching this run. I'm going to watch this run again and again because now I want to run this game because of you.
Weirdly yet, I've only played through CB2 once. Oh well :V
Good job man this takes a lot of skill and I’m very impressed hope you’re having a good day :)
How did you get the pause menu overlay to show up in real time?
Zeb89 don't toucha my spaghet.
Zeb89 cosa ci fai qua ahaha
With editing.
It's a thing called ram watch.
I'm impressed that through all of this, the Triangle button is still in tact from the amount that HUD is checked!
only speed run i can watch again and again.. great commentary
This is the best video I could've stumbled upon while trying to deal with my N.Sane Trilogy hype. Crash Bandicoot 2 is so god damn good.
Crash 2 is the best, always, heheh :P
MrBean35000vr Can't wait to suffer the ruin levels again but in glorious HD this time.
It was incredible to be there as you made the run. I'm glad you managed to hold your composure :P
Great job on the run, hopefully you go after the 1:20 sub!
i beat this game when i was 5 years old and had no idea how in depth the gameplay was. this was amazing seeing how there are secret areas that need near perfection to get to. i salute to some true gamers
