People saying this video is irrelevant now that Crash 4 is out are failing to realise the entire point of this video, was covering Crash's first run of games BEFORE anything new.
In a few years, I can do a follow up or remake it to cover all the modern Crash levels! 🙂

Can't believe they got Dingodile to narrate the video!
Personally I think the only similarity between Dingodile and Square Eyed Jak's voices are the comparable accents. Other than that, they sound nothing alike in my opinion.

TH-cam algorithm works for once.
are you guys gonna be surprised every time the machine does the thing it was meant to do in a manner that satisfies you
@@lrgogo1517 Often the algorithm just pushes videos that are already on my subscriptions. Or what is """trending""". It is honestly rare that the algorithm actually shows new stuff that I might enjoy from channels I haven't watched.
Like, if I click a video from my subscriptions, the recommended videos on the side are mainly the other videos I have in my subscriptions page. Then there are like 1-2 videos from the same person and few random videos that I am not interested in the slightest. Or sometimes it even recommends me videos I have already watched and I don't feel like watching.
So yes, I am positively surprised when the algorithm actually recommends me stuff I am interested in that I might have not found any other way(Be it subscription box, the channel I am watching or videos I have already seen).
But I kinda understand that the comment I made might be quite overused and soon will be on the level of "x (amount of people who disliked the video) who watched this video are Justin Bieber fans"-tier.
Anyway, I am happy that I encountered a video I enjoy.
i can't believe i just watched the redemption arc of a whole ass wrath of cortex
When you're playing it's more of a reverse redemption arc since the bad levels were mostly towards the end of the game

The effort, time, and MILD RAGE that this must have taken is admirable. Thank you for putting out good content that you clearly care about!! I think your lists and reviews are some of the best put together on TH-cam.
Thank you very much!

This person knows what's up, cheers mate!
@@SquareEyedJak you covered Tony Hawk levels. Now you covered Crash Bandicoot levels. Next you should cover Spyro levels. I would even love to see you cover Jak And Daxter levels, Sly Cooper levels and even Ratchet & Clank levels.

Stop complimenting the other team. If your gonna make a comment about this, sprinkle a white lie and say your team played it.
Two things:
1.This must've taken an ungodly amount of time, and my god did it pay off.
2.I would KILL to see a video ranking every boss fight in the entire series.
No.
List doesn’t count a ton of levels because they have the same theme, What a pointless list.

Well, considering we got a Crash Bandicoot remaster, a Crash Team Racing remaster AND Crash Bandicoot 4, i am not that sad at all. Before 2018, i never thought Crash 4 would ever exist, so yeah, i am grateful.

Also Square Eyed Jak: “wears a shirt based off the loading screens in Crash wrath of cortex”
Joke makes no sense
Actually the joke is very clear if you took 2 seconds to actually look at the shirt
The snow levels in Crash 2 are just the jungle levels from the original frozen over?
Whoa...
Yeah, there's a lot of things on Crash 2 that are from crash 1 but weren't explained, but are neat easter eggs. Like the sewer stages basically all taking place all on cortex island and that's why parts of them have those statues, since the factories have been built on top pf tribal temples.
Ok, I just started the video. Don't really care if I agree or not, but this video explains why the internet is a magical place.
That wrath of Cortex loading shirt is so amazing

Hope you had a awesome birthday
This was very enjoyable to watch. You should rank the Spyro levels next. (Edit) WOW thanks for the likes!
They're very open world and the levels aren't really separated in a lot of those ones. Mint games but might not fit this format
@@jhakardballoch2986 The originals aren't open world, they're rather linear, get from point A to point B
@@Duck931 That's true
Yes!!!!!!
I was about to comment this about the spyro levels and then I saw your comment.
Piston it Away and Spaced Out suck on the N.Sane Trilogy. The hit boxes won't update fast enough on those electric creatures, so if you spin into them right after they lift up their arms, it still kills you.
Likewise, if you jump on them right after they put their arms down, it still kills you.
It's so frustrating!
@SpiteHook not only in time trials
Vicarious Visions: the fuck is a hitbox?
@Trainfan1055: Don't talk to me about those levels, I had never played the original PS1 version so when it came to the N Sane version [ hair tearing out frustration ]. Getting the Platinum relic on it was dire, possibly one of the last ones I got before getting the Platinum on the game, which took me 1 month and 1 week to get. Warped is still the best of the trilogy [ didn't really need that extra DLC which I still need to complete ], and the one I mostly played on the PS1 and PS2 and the PS3 [ as my PS3 can play PS1 disks after 1997 ].

You said Un-Bearable was your favorite, but not the best level, and I feel the exact opposite way. While its not my favorite level, I've always felt Un-Bearable was THE quintessential Crash level. It perfectly combines the 3 main gameplay styles of chase sections, animal riding, and classic platforming while still managing to hide 2 awesome secrets and being IMO the most memorable level of the series.
It's funny, Cold Hard Crash and Stormy Ascent are my personal favorite levels because they are hard, but I wouldn't call them the best, the same way Crash 1 is my favorite yet I would easily call Crash 2 the best in the franchise.
Love ya dedication Jak, hope we'll get to see "Every Spyro Level" soon!
"If you happen to be watching this in a single sitting, first off... why?"
Well, what else am I supposed to do on a Thursday evening?
Seriously though, I've just been really into longer videos lately, and I enjoyed the Tony Hawk Levels video so I was definitely excited to see this one pop up in my notifications.
This is the type of video where you get some snacks and mess around with the switch while listening to the amazing voice
Definitely earned a subscriber here. You've put everything of each level and its concept into the absolute best description of each. My damn childhood. To see it all in one video. Amazing job with this! Killer video and well worth watching in one sitting guaranteed.
Holy fudge Jak you're insane LOL Unfortunately I have to go to work at the time I'm seeing this upload but I'll definitely watch it when I get home but hot damn, I'm very surprised you actually went ahead and did this! Though you did a great job with the Every Tony Hawk Level Ranked video so I'm more than confident that this one will be just as good. :)

Can you do Every Titans Ranked from Crash of the Titans/ Mind over Mutant
I'd honestly like to see more 'spooky' levels in the Crash series, like Mount Grimly or the Academy of Evil. I'm a real sucker for that sort of thing in cartoony games; the breakable gravestones in Mind Over Mutant were eye candy for my younger self, and being able to play as Crash, Cortex and Nina in turn made Classroom Chaos and Rooftop Rampage some of the most replayable levels in Twinsanity for the gameplay variety and how the music was themed to each character. We rarely see anything that can be considered creepy in the Crash Bandicoot universe, so the few creepy locations that we DO see really stand out amongst the many, many more upbeat levels throughout the series, and that's why I think we need more of them. I'm not saying we need a full-on Crash Bandicoot horror game (though I'm sure that'd be interesting if done right), but a few more literal skeletons in Crash's proverbial closet could add some unique flair to the adventures of our beloved bandicoot going forward.
Nice to see Crash getting the Tony hawk treatment from you .
Good to here

Honestly, Castle Machinery was, is and will always be my all-time favorite Crash level. I vividly remember playing it 16-17 years ago and every freakin' time I tried to reach the ending with a single jump, always failing but thinking that I was making progress. I think I've never completed the OG version, but the first time I've completed Castle Machinery in the N-Sane Trilogy... I felt accomplished.
I watched from beginning to end. I can tell that you did a lot of work on this. This is a very high quality video! You've done a really incredible job.
Theres no ranking of every level on the internet huh?
This mad lad: Guees I will do it
Did you know that the location of Jaws of Darkness is where Uka Uka is trapped?
I never even knew that! :o
Makes sense! Ol evil bitch!
OMG REALLY? 😨
How does one know that?
Wait, I realized something. Both of the temples looks a lot different. Even in the original one. So no, I don't think it's the same place.
You are an absolute madman for pulling this off and I love it. While I have some disagreements personally (I would've had Air Crash at #1 personally for how unique it is with how many exits and entrances it has) and I would've had Cortex Vortex WAY lower because of the shoddy hitboxes on a lot of the obstacles, I really enjoyed seeing your thoughts on all of these levels and even taking the time to rank the very underrated GBA game levels. Fantastic video!
You've got the details and aesthetics nailed down to a tee! The fonts, the pop ups at the bottom of the screen, they're spot on and fit perfectly with the subject. As a graphic designer I notice stuff like that all the time, so I must say, very well done Jak!
Thank you very much! I take a lot of pride in my logo work but as far as everything else, I just try to keep it simple and clean. I actually dropped out of Graphic Design in Year 12 after 2 weeks because I hated it but... it's come full circle now. Cheers! 😄
I have nothing to say about the list itself, I just really appreciate that you have a segment that reminds people to take breaks, stand up and stretch and such in the middle of it.
It proves that you're thoughtful and actually care about your audience and see us as people rather than just numbers randomly assigned by the TH-cam Algorithm.
Fuck some of you people are so soft/ gay lol. Jesus christ.
I wonder... based on these level rankings, what would be "the best Crash game"? Let's find out...
Remember, lower numbers are better, and shared spots count as duplicate scores for each level in my calculations.
Also, after finding the average score, I applied a -3 bonus per level, to give quantity a little weight as well.
If I couldn't find that data, I assumed the difference was not enough even for that purpose:
At #18 we have Crash Twinsanity (Mobile), with an Average of 154 and a Final Score of 148.
That's pretty bad compared to the theoretical worst possible score of 160, but with only two levels of shoddy quality can we really be surprised?
At #17 we have Crash Twinsanity 3D, with an Average of 127 and a Final Score of... 118?
I couldn't find any real level count, so I just assumed each background had one level. I suspect I might be wrong, but not by much.
At #16 we have Crash of the Titans (GBA), with an Average of 148 and a Final Score of 103.
It says a lot that even some mobile games did better than this garbage.
At #15 we have Mind Over Mutant (DS), with an Average of 146.4 and a Final Score of... 101.4?
Here I assumed three levels per world, as the gameplay structure is similar to the nonsense of the last entry.
At #14 we have Crash of the Titans (Mobile), with an Average of... 112?, and a Final Score of... 97?
I couldn't find any level count data for this game at all, so I assumed each entry was one level. I'm probably wrong here.
At #13 we have Mutant Island, with an Average of... 102.5?, and a Final Score of... 90.5?
Again, no level count information, but the look of the gameplay made it seem like each basically was one level chopped up into pieces.
At #12 we have CTTR's Hub Areas, with an Average of 105.2 and a Final Score of 90.2.
Oh the memories I have wandering around here, discovering minigames, opening shortcuts, killing the 'coot...
At #11 we have Mind Over Mutant, with an Average of 107.6 and a Final Score of 86.6.
If this were my personal list, I'd have placed this one at just above Titans, with both only beating their lesser incarnations and the worst Mobile games.
At #10 we have Crash EXEN, with an Average of 137 and a Final Score of 77.
I'm legitimately sad I'll likely never get to try this one, horrible graphics aside it looks pretty good!
At #9 we have Crash of the Titans (DS), with an Average of 98.2 and a Final Score of 71.2.
It looks more interesting than actual Titans at least, though that's not saying much.
At #8 we have Crash of the Titans, with an Average of 88.25 and a Final Score of 28.25.
I LOATHE this game! This is what taught me to never blindly trust a franchise when buying games, even one as amazing as Crash.
At #7 we have Crash's Huge Adventure, with an Average of 86.3 and a Final Score of 23.3.
Now THIS is a great game! How it's so close to Titans I'll never understand.
At #6 we have Crash Twinsanity, with an Average of 69.125 and a Final Score of 21.125.
This feels pretty well placed next to Huge Adventure, though owning it physically means a lot more nostalgia. If only the cut content had been included, it might've placed even higher.
At #5 we have Crash Wrath of Cortex, with an Average of 96.6 and a Final Score of 6.6.
I always said that this game would've been great if it lacked the horrible load times, so seeing it here feels vindicating.
At #4 we have Crash N.Tranced, with an Average of 51.8 and a Final Score of NEGATIVE 20.2!
Wait, negative score? That's "classics" territory, right? Trust me, this game definitely deserves the honor! However, I DID have to account for the intro level, which counts AS a level but isn't properly in the video. So I assigned it the same score as Huge Adventure's Jungle Levels to be the most fair.
At #3 we have Crash 1, with an Average of 39.5 and a Final Score of NEGATIVE 44.5!
Funny thing: I originally wasn't going to get this game because N.Brio's transformation was described as "demon". Thank you Gamestop mixup, and my insistence to play up till that point to know better!
At #2 we have Crash Warped, with an Average of 40.26 and a Final Score of NEGATIVE 52.75!
This was MY first Crash, and personally my favorite of the bunch! But the absolute best part? Future Tense! These remake guys have proved they can produce more Crash of this game's level, and I can't wait!
And finally, at #1, we of course have Crash 2, with an incredible Average of 17.8 and an even more amazing Final Score of NEGATIVE 63.2!
Remember I said there was a Gamestop mixup? THIS was the game I was wanting! And it did not disappoint in the slightest!
Also, I realized this list forgot about Crash Purple: Ripto's Rampage... but how would that count? It's all CTTR-type hubs, vehicle levels, and way too many minigames. Weaker than Huge Adventure and probably Titans on this list, but no worse overall.
Well, this was fun! If there's another list like this for a series I enjoy, I might have to give them the same treatment!
EDIT: Accidentally left out an Arabian level in my initial calculations, putting that back in improved Warped's Average and Final Score a decent amount. Also forgot three levels in Crash 2 and miscalculated the average even then, that evened out to a small improvement as well. The order was unchanged though.
@Jacob Negrete agreed. I refused to play anymore crash games after that. It turned me off so badly.
@Jacob Negrete what's sad is my lil bro gave it to me years ago to try bc he said the same thing. I still have it for the PS2, but I don't have a PS2 anymore. Never played it....lol
Wrath of Cortex is not as bad as most of the games that came after that, however comparing it to the original 3? No chance.
@@endefisto123 Which is why it doesn't have a negative score like they do.
@@ShadwSonic Quite honestly i enjoyed playing that game. My personal fav though is warped since it was the 1st crash game i ever played.
**SPOILERS**
Read after watching this video.
Cold Hard Crash is my all time favorite Crash Level across all games. So glad to see it sitting at the number 1 spot.
I was so happy when you included tag team racing. its, unfortunately, my fav in the franchise because im trash
Excellent video! Filled with facts, experience, visuals, and sound statements.
You truly have outdone yourself. You are amazing!
Wow, Jak, what a great work.
Watched the entire 2 hours.
Can I ask you something tho?
How did you make those footages of the level seen like at 1:55:55 and for the other top levels? Did you use some special software like a free camera or something? Because it looks really amazing!
When I played Smokey and the bandicoot, I thought it was ok but then I compared it to the motor bike/crash racing games and realized it was pure garbage.
Imagine talking about Wizards and Lizards and not mentioning the level theme
Yeah...
weird...
To be fair to the High Road relic, I played the level so much from the first game and had to relearn it in the NST that the Relic was fairly easy for me. I got gold the first time I tried, and platinum in less than 10 tries.
Also, I agree that Cold Hard Crash is the PINNACLE of Crash levels. If you play through the level normally, there's not much to say about it. But paired with the death route, it becomes the defining Crash level: fun level design + part of the level that tests ALL of your abilities + high rewards. Crash 2 is actually THE best Crash game and it isn't even close. The best levels, no annoying vehicles, fantastically designed secrets, and all with great atmosphere. Not to mention it is probably the hardest game in the series only second to the original. Truly one of the best platforming games ever.
I have watched this in 1 sitting,it's 1:36 am now,help me plz
It's 1 year later are you still alive😳
@@bourkekarl6328 yes
@@MrVukasino oh good
Crash Bandicoot Retrospective: The Movie. Great work, you're an absolute madlad
Dear lord the amount of work you put into these videos is bonkers. I hope this one really blows up and you get all the recognition you deserve.
11:10 that Sea-Shell Shenanigans music though, god Wrath Of Cortex had some incredible music for a few levels. That one and Crash And Burn's music are up there as 2 of my favorites out of any level's music from the platforming Crash titles. Such a peaceful piece of music
You could have made this into a series and take that sweet ad revenue. Instead you put out this master piece for us to enjoy. Much respect.
40:50 I've never heard anyone say that N. Gin is annoying in Titans. He's my favorite part of the entire game!
Ikr that clip he used there is actually crack up too.
I used to hate that version of N.Gin, so much so it made me cringe. But he’s starting to grow on me....Also the fact that everyone keeps gushing about how that version of N.Gin is the best.
(Edit) I’ve changed my mind, he still disgusts me.
I remember that part when N. Gin is just quiet while N. Cortex was speaking and then, Cortex throws the hot coffee on N. Gin's face and he screams hahahaha i died laughing.
Naah they ruined one of yhe best characters of the franchise
2004flippy agreed
This is one of the best videos I have watched on TH-cam PERIOD. Absolutely loved every second of this. Although Slippery Climb is my fave ;) Subsribed!
I'm so glad I found this video, you made me really happy during this memory lane journey 😁 Personally Bee-Having is my all time favourite level. And Pack Attack's music makes me emotional every single time.
The first three games actually mean a lot to me. They remind me of my old second home and my dad. We lost our second home when I was 11, and my dad passed away when I was 12. Now 14 years later watching this list made me feel like I was visiting those old memories with a good friend. Thanks 💖
Just out of curiosity, how did you get Crash Twinsanity 3D to work? I seem to recall that you said it didn't load past the first level in the Crash Mobile Games video, and it didn't work for me when I tried the rom you provided with the mobile games pack.
1:19:16 wow that was really impressive, I remember struggling so hard to get that gem back then
It's crazy to believe how many amazing levels, and some shitty ones, were part of my childhood and how some I've only just played, man Crash Bandicoot you really are an awesome part of my Childhood thanks Square Eyed Jack for, personally, this great trip down memory lane
So when does the spyro version come out? Plus couldn’t agree more with this list great video :)
Crash Bandicoot: *does something*
People: *WHERE IS SPYRO VERSION*
Spyro: -.-
riley read I personally would love to see a “EVERY SLY COOPER LEVEL RANKED!” video once he’s reviewed Thieves in Time.
4:14 I would have said that "Force of Nature" from the same game was worse, with a whole snowboard level that looked more like a beta testing scenario for the actual snowboard section in Avalanche (which is actually quite enjoyable) rather than a real level that is supposed to be playable after collecting relics. So poorly done.
And I actually like The Wrath of Cortex overall.
This was such a great vid. Loved hearing you talk about Cold Hard Crash and actually acknowledge peoples complaints regarding it's diffuculty. The challenge was what made it so fun. And it's a death route making it optional so players aren't forced to go through it. Nice to see Sunset Vista so high on the list as well. I feel like it's pretty underrated.
I'm honestly surprised the jetpack levels were so high up on the list. People have crapped on the controls for ages although I don't personally have a problem with them.
Absolutely fantastic video! 2 hours straight of such good entertainment is hard to come by on TH-cam.
I've enjoyed playing through so many of these levels as a kid, not really giving a second thought as to why I loved them so much. Was really refreshing to hear someone speak in detail about every level, even those we all wish we could forget lol.
I disagree with some but the video is very much appreciated!
this dude got as close as humanly possible to looking like a crash bandicoot character and he's making crash bandicoot videos
neat
I absolutly agree with your #1 spot.
literly what came to my mind when I thought about the best level :)
I reckon that this video is gonna really take off in the Crash community in the coming weeks, Jak. I mean, it's already broken 12000 views overnight. This could really change the way people view the Crash series as a whole. You're set to make history among Crash fans, man. Maybe it's a little premature at this point, but congrats, Jakky. (:
Great video it took me around 3 months to finish it. Never played Crash bandicoot before but if I get a chance I'll play it now.
Awesome ranking, also these levels snippets at 2:01:40 are kinda neat, does somebody know how to replicate them ? Many thanks
"Sonic's ass gameplay" Ayyyyy I got that reference
I've got to say that I watched this entire thing in one sitting and really enjoyed hearing your perspective! I especially like that you highlighted the positive aspects of every game. Subscribed and will be looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Crash Bandicoot 4! (Maybe you could do a level ranking for it once it's out??)
I've never gotten emotional playing a "kids game" but Slippery Climb got through me. It had been ten years since i last played the game and when the remastered trilogy came out, i went to my friends house. We had fun, got drunk and started playing on his PS4. I passed every level with ease but when the time came, tried and tried and tried to beat Slippery Climb but couldn't. I remembered my childhood struggles with it and having to get my older brother to beat it for me. I got so sad 'cause i still couldn't beat it even though i was just as old as my brother was way back when he used to beat the level for young me. Drunk me felt like a failure, lmao:D
I love Crash 1 so much.
When I tried to show off the difficulty of Stormy Ascent to someone, I got a perfect run somehow, despite that I wasn't able to complete it yet due to its difficulty.
How do you manage to enjoy the atlasphere levels? I don't even see a single reason to have any fun there
Very first level: Crash wins by doing absolutely nothing
Before I start watching I was gonna say the Jet Ski Levels from OG Crash 3. I hated those levels lol
I clicked on this hoping "please let Cold Hard Crash be #1"
Things went well.
This is a great video, but i actually think that cold hard crash is the worst level in the whole series. I hate ice physics so much
This video deserves SO MUCH MORE recognition! As a Crash fan since childhood, I'm soo happy! Great job, Jak!
No.
Can we pour one out for this guy, had to play every mainline Crash game
Woah!
There, the mandatory comment has now been made. You can all move on.
How do you get these preview shots of the levels from the first three games?
I'd really love to know the answer to that too.
I don't usually be making comments like these but GODDAMN you doing this amount of work was more than we deserve and I really appreciate it my dude. Growing up in the projects of Brooklyn, to keep myself out of gangs, drugs, and trouble, I played mad crash and spyro and to this day those games and worlds kept me out of trouble and gave some nostalgic moments in my life while also saving it. Anyway the point here is fam even if it seem like your work going unnoticed, for people like me it is much more than just an upload, we look forward to it. Keep it up and I wish y'all the best out there is aus, stay safe 🙏
I like Sea Shell Shananigans music, but i hate underwater levels in every game
Just finished the entire video as of this moment and, I gotta say, this was easily one of your best videos yet! I personally can’t wait to see a “EVERY SLY COOPER LEVEL RANKED!” video once you’ve reviewed Thieves in Time!!!
Thank you very much. I think all these platformer icons are perfect for this type of video due to the large variety in both locations and gameplay styles, like here with Crash thanks to all of the vehicles. They keep things interesting and Sly would be great for that!
Square Eyed Jak oh yeah, definitely! There’s a wide variety of accomplishments to be reached with this new form of content you’ve been doing recently! I think it fits in nicely with Top 10’s and, in terms of detail, really helps me personally to understand your opinions when it comes to scoring games and what not. It’s really great but I can understand how the conditions might be as it’s important that you don’t kill yourself since this type of content seems to require allot of hard work and time consumption. And honestly, those two things I just mentioned are the key reason why you still remain as my favorite gaming channel!
Square Eyed Jak Also, I forgot to mention, congrats on 29K subscribers! You’ve come a long way since 2014 and the way I see it, you’ll be hitting 50K in no time! 😉👍
Honestly, this is a great job man, I definitely do not agree with the top 30 but I know I wouldn't have done that job better
You Sir.... are ambitious! I love this and can’t wait to digest the whole thing. Your Tony Hawk level list was insane and really well thought out.
This... This was an achievement worthy of massive appluse and a fucking Nobel price if you ask me!
Thank you someone who knows what to do when they put “Crash bandicoot levels from best to worst”
Why doesn't he have more subscribers?! He fucking deserves it!
You should do more videos like this one. Not 2 hours long each, but rankings are really, really fun to watch.
159. Smokey and the Bandicoot
Caddicarus: *Okay let me explain one thing very clearly to you, you very nasty man i don't think that could be any more untrue, in fact, I think I have some of the most philosophical and deep discussion on video games.*
ITS ABOUT TIME FOR AN UPDATE JAK
XD
Wrath of Cortex actually has many great levels, but the game just looks, moves and feels so cheap and bad, that your brain simply can't love them. I wish someone would port those levels into Crash 3 with fitting visuals.
Colossal video. As a life-long Crash fan, I'm so happy that someone put the effort to make this. I've enjoyed every minute of this video and I thank you for that. Keep on the good work mate.
Cheers!
I watched the Tony Hawk level ranking before this, and I guessed both #1 spots at the start of the video. I like the way you think, and your dedication is pretty astounding. Consider me subscribed.
I’m shocked that you put Avalanche so low. I think I put it in my top 40 when I was ranking all of the levels on Reddit.
But I’m more shocked that I put Toxic Waste at 14
I enjoyed every moment and I'm glad Cold Hard Crash finally got the credit it deserves.
Can we expect Tomb Raider levels in the future? At least for classic PS1 games?
THE MADMAN KEPT THE BEARD AND ACTUALLY MADE THE DAMN LIST
ABSOLUTE LEGEND MAN! Seriously though man, the beard looks good on you. xD
Thank you for giving praise to, the Crash of the Titans levels. It's a guilty pleasure game of mine even though I grew up with the first 3 games which are better games but I've always liked the presentation of CotT and the other Sierra created Crash games which are very underrated.
But if Racing stages were allowed on this list then I'll seriously put all the CTR stages very high on this list XD. CTR and NF are the best crash games ever I've completed this game so many times more than the naughty dog and post ND games.
The controls on CTR and NF are so (chef's kiss) perfect. I love me some Mario kart especially Wii and Gamecube but CTR NF straight up dunks the MK series.
Considering the times, I was actually expecting this to be a Tier List video. But the fact that you painstakingly ranked each level is just so admirable. Can't wait to see the whole thing. 😁
1:40:15 it's actually kinda cool if you think about it how every last level of every warp room in Wrath of Cortex is thematically cortex's secret lab in the element that'll be the local boss. Compactor reactor is Cortex' underground lab for Rok-ko, H2 Oh no is underwater for Wa-Wa, Fahrenheit Frenzy is in a volcanic cave lab with Py-Ro being the boss, Weathering heights is an aerial lab inside a plane with the boss Lo-Lo right after, and the last level Cortex Vortex is the ultimate classic space lab of Cortex.
1:30:00 "Banzai Bonsai is also [a zen level]."
*horror flashbacks of the gem path*
