"Aha, Ha! Ho! *HA!*" Brendan O'Brien's OG voice is pretty memorable to me for that line, and his work as Brio and N. Gin. Clancy Brown was a way better Cortex tho, imo.
Yeah, as you beat his minions, Cortex's operations start just going straight to hell. Then after beat Pinstripe, something kind of important got shot up and, well...the lair is now on fire.
@@boxtank5288 i think its because Brio experiment go out of control when he drink his potion, become gigantic green mutant and start wrecking his lab, the result his lab starting to crumble and the impact make the rest of cortex castle got destroyed
yes, crash 1's darker nature had great potential to be explored. how the mutants struggle with their identities, how the whole world will react with the existence of cortex's mutants, how they have to do bad things just to survive what the world will throw at them, how the n. circles of geniuses will manipulate them all, how aku uka voodoo alien dimensions make things more complicated... twinsanity's story is the step in the right direction (if it doesn't focus too much on silliness..) but now, crash will always become a childish cartoony series. with how n.sane trilogy reskin crash's world to be more family friendly in all aspects despite them featuring almost every crash chars in ctrnitro. ah well, we can always read fan stories about crash or make our own stories. also, i notice your profile pic is megaman volnut... really miss the nostalgic feeling of megamen legends 1 & 2 & most importantly, the misadventures of tron bonne.
+TheSuperDuperLuiz, he means,in the 1st and 2nd parts Cortex was a real villian, independent, without uka-uka. He wanted world domination only for himself, but in 3rd part he just uka-uka's marionette,nothing more. He was a boss, only he was a number one.
This takes me back to the good ole days when you could just purchase a game, put it in your console and play it all the way through. None of this DLC/Micro transactions or patching. Just a one time payment for a lifelong supply of fun.
i agree with everything you said there bar patching back in the day if a game game out broke it was gonna stay like that, with every step forward the industry shoots itself 6 times
@@gaffman2283 I understand patches need to exist because of just how massive these games are and how much goes into them in this era. Elden Ring, which may arguably have a chance of becoming game of the year and personally one of my favorites for the ninth generation consoles still needed a patch, and it is damn near flawless. But your right, games like Cyberpunk 2077, the GTA remastered trilogy, and (definitely) Battlefield 2042 are just inexcusably broken and should have NEVER been released. I understand that FromSoftware games have a very niche audience and they’re not for everyone, but I guarantee you they will always release a good quality product and a game that is at least functional at launch.
Sixth gen with the PS2 and xbox was probably my favourite era, but that's when dlc was introduced. I think project Gotham racing 2 was the first game to do it
Crash Bandicoot 1 forever. This theme is just saying the word serious because this is the most severe game of the saga. Here Cortex was truly evil and sinister as his theme in this game and that's why I love it so much. Can you feel that atmosphere too ? Sigh, it's fucking great.
Crash 2 he was even more evil...he manipulated crash into helping him... While Crash 3 you can see he is turned more into a wimp, but oh my was Uka Uka frightening...even I can see a baddy like Cortex cower in fear...
This Theme is underestimated. Dr.Neo Cortex is clearly scary and dark here, he is not silly and comical like in recent games, here he is dark and scary, the atmosphere of this theme is scary and serious, the castle of neo cortex burning, cortex angry with crash, the epic battle happening *the fate of humanity was in the hands of Neo Cortex and Crash.*
Honestly, this has the best and most nightmare soundtrack out of the entire Crash Bandicoot series. It makes me wish if the rest of the series was as dark as the first one while maintaining that looney toon vibe.
In many ways I wished the continuation of the series kept some of the serious tone of the Originals, I understand the creators of Crash wanted it to be like a Looney toons cartoon but man it was so Iconic fighting Cortex on that blimp, I will remember it for the rest of my life. Such a classic franchise
Honestly, I never liked the fact that Cortex turned out to be Uka Uka's slave, It took away the impact of Cortex being this crazy, insane and outright THREATENING character who would do the most insane of things to get what he wants and I loved that. For me, Uka-Uka ruined Cortex for me and I liked him when he was diabolical and actually "SMART" instead of taking credit for other scientists inventions, sure it was funny, but I don't really think that fits Cortex and this song reminds me of the character that I think Cortex SHOULD be. (No offense to the people who like the new Cortex, he was hilarious in Twinsanity by being blessed with clever writing and Lex Lang's voice.)
I agree about Uka Uka just popping outta nowhere and suddenly revealing that Cortex is his puppet was a stupid idea. But the thing about Cortex stealing all the credit of others inventions has been a thing since the first game. He actually took all the credit for the evolvo-ray when it was actually N.Brio who made it
robonaught If I remember right, Cortex taking credit for the Evolve-vo Ray (How do you spell that? Anyway...) was confirmed as far back as in the manual for Crash 2, and was Brio's motivation for sending troops to stop Cortex, and by association, Crash. Makes me appreciate Mind over Mutant a little more. Not much, just a little...
Neo G I like that Cortex finally bites back at Uka Uka and takes over again in Mind Over Mutant. But I don't like that Cortex abandoned N.Gin and left the poor guy to defend for himself.
I really do prefer the crunchy PS1 audio of this music over the N. Sane Trilogy version. The PS1 version sounds more dark than the N-Sane version I guess.
I like to imagine crash one as it’s own story. The rest aren’t a continuation, but an au. I like crash one because cortex feels like a threatening character, you feel for Tawna being held prisoner and the potential for lord is massive. This theme alone is a dull and depressing theme, while also demonstrating cortex’s current overwhelming power. But the dash of hope being the more upbeat parts showing crash will prevail Honestly, I just fuckin love this theme.
I'll never forget the first time I beat Cortex. I felt so achieved after going through the utter hell of a challenging platformer with this game and even 100%ting the game.
This has always been a favorite of mine, the first final boss I ever faced, and with the remaster coming up soon, I can't wait to hear what the remix will sound like!
Little did we know, Ocarina of Time borrowed that boss fight mechanic. ReallyFreakinClever even made a joke about it in his 64 Things Wrong With Crash Bandicoot video.
I find it sad that, no matter where I go. That I can't find a single Crash video without complaining. Well I suppose it is unavoidable. And it is nice to see that everyone still has a big place in their hearts for the Bandicoot.
The pinnacle of my gaming adventures, first one played and this song and even the picture of the video reminds me how blessed I was to be able to enjoy this gem, always appreciate what You get to enjoy and always look back on those times!
Still have this game on emulator and still play it regularly. I'm glad to say I still die sometimes even after 15-16 years...you can never master this legend 100%. You will still die at least once in that level you hate, no matter how many hundreds of times you finished the game.
considering how Uka Uka is the "big boss" in Crash 3, I always saw the theme in that game as Uka Uka's theme, but featuring Cortex (seeing as the only blatantly recognizable part from the previous themes was the guitar riffs)
blinkyth3fish This game has such a unique vibe! I prefer it over any Crash game if we are dealing with color choices, series truth, to see where it all started and art design and music. I love dis game.
I love how the second Cortex music was a frantic remix of this, the third one felt like a final showdown, but this... the first one... was very basic in its instrumentation, to complement the background of Cortex Castle burning. At this point in time, Cortex had lost everything. This fight wasn't even for the world at this point - the collapse was most likely caused by the N. Brio fight and its aftermath, as is implied in the N. Sane Trilogy. This fight was about Neo Cortex, struggling to keep what he had left: his dignity and, by extension, his pride. Why else would he chase Crash at the top of his blimp?
ngl I think Cortex's and Pinstripe's themes are my favourite. Cortex's had that evil, creepy vibe to it. Pinstripe's went in time with his hops and it was uppity sorta like a gangster's.
Fun fact about myself: I've played EVERY Crash game from Crash 2 to Mind over Mutant. However, I've NEVER played the FIRST Crash Bandicoot game! This was regrettable.... And then, when I played N. Sane Trilogy, I first began with to test it's atmosphere...and, AWESOME! The music was probably the most suitable thing I've ever heard! Thank you, Vicarious Visions!
You missed out, dude. I'm genuinely sorry. For me the first Crash was and still the BEST Crash game ever! and of course you'd think the remake is "awesome" since you've never played the one and only Crash game. VV didn't do a good job recreating the first (which in my opinion doesn't need a remake in the first place). Also this music is from the original, not the remastered version, which is the one you should really play.
Oh yeah, overtime....I've finally played Crash Bandicoot when I was 9 years old! And yeah, comparing the soundtrack, the original SLIGHTLY takes the cake.
How? The original game is so flawed imo. Horrible save system, awkward jumping controls, extremely frustrating, unmemorable music, terrible boss battles. N. Sane Trilogy version did lots of things better. You have no reason to go back to the PS1 version, unless you feel nostalgic.
I would really like to know what happened to Brendan O'Brien, if he is still alive or not, all I have ever found out about him is just a picture of his face
even though i wasn't born when it came out, i still remember this theme. I loved cortex when i was a baby and this was the first game i ever played. i feel tears coming and goosebumps. I still remember my big bro playing this and i loved hearing it when cortex kept saying 'Ha ha ha, Ha! Ha! Ha!' and i just loved it! Why did crash bandicoot change?
"But Doctor Cortex! We have not determined the cause of past failures!" "You fucking MORON!! This Bandicoot WILL be my general and he WILL lead my Cortex Commandos to world domination! This time I WILL be triumphant!!"
can't stop commenting! I just remember this theme! i forgot it for a while thinking that it was only the first part repeated, and now i hear it back in my baby days. Memories of the dark neo C.

Right. Even though I secretly wish for an animated film with Crash by Aerosmith playing during the boulder chase and end credits.
Anyone else miss the hint of seriousness in the older games?
Completely
Absolutely
yes, crash 1's darker nature had great potential to be explored.
how the mutants struggle with their identities,
how the whole world will react with the existence of cortex's mutants,
how they have to do bad things just to survive what the world will throw at them,
how the n. circles of geniuses will manipulate them all,
how aku uka voodoo alien dimensions make things more complicated...

All 3 crash games have an amazing cortex theme i dunno which one is my fav ^^
For me it's the 2nd.
I like the second one the most, although I have to admit this one is more menacing.

I would really like to know what happened to Brendan O'Brien, if he is still alive or not, all I have ever found out about him is just a picture of his face
This is the reason I'll NEVER throw away my copies of the old crash bandicoot games - they're practically relics of the past
This sounds so mighty. Like you are really up against something, that is going to be hard to beat.
This game is so hard and funny
So unique
I love how slow and ominous this song is, fitting for the kinda slow but difficult final fight
@tyrone102 lol
This was the first videogame i ever played.
Crash Bandicoot was around since I was born. It was my favorite game...
Neo Cortex: Happy Birthday Subject! I hope you like Wumpa Cake! I with-held N Brio’s bathroom privileges until he gets the recipe right.
even though i wasn't born when it came out, i still remember this theme. I loved cortex when i was a baby and this was the first game i ever played. i feel tears coming and goosebumps. I still remember my big bro playing this and i loved hearing it when cortex kept saying 'Ha ha ha, Ha! Ha! Ha!' and i just loved it! Why did crash bandicoot change?
0:22 favorite part
This is my favorite track, and they remade it so nicely.
"But Doctor Cortex! We have not determined the cause of past failures!"
"You fucking MORON!! This Bandicoot WILL be my general and he WILL lead my Cortex Commandos to world domination! This time I WILL be triumphant!!"
“We are closer then ever before quickly into the vortex”
“Darn you, Crash Bandicoot!”
The greatest villain theme ever
Long live to Bowser and Eggman ok but...
EVEN MORE LONG LIVE TO CORTEX!
This bandicoot will be my general and he will lead my cortex commandos to world domination….this time I will reign triumphant!
I love this theme, it seems taken from the doom
Aguante crash y aguante los redondossss
THAT BASS! IT'S SO CREEPY AND AWSOME!
This is terrifying!
Today, Crash Bandicoot completes its 25th anniversary
Cortex broke the Gravity...
(Seeing him flying like that, i would think he will fall of by his own soon)
can't stop commenting! I just remember this theme! i forgot it for a while thinking that it was only the first part repeated, and now i hear it back in my baby days.
Memories of the dark neo C.
When you do your final exam of maths:
0:07 If Cortex, like Crash, entered Smash Bros this would be his victory theme.
Who remembers being so exited to beat this boss as a kid lol 🤣
So many good memories with this games. So many in fact that its hard to count them with two hands xD
Thank you Naughty Dog, you made my childhood happy. ❤️
Too bad they don’t make platformers like Crash anymore. No other studio could do it as good as them.
ahh cortex was a rlly good boss and hard one to this song brings back good old memories thx for posting it
Sounds evil and I love it.
crash bandicoot: man I've been asleep for 22 years and now, I'm finally coming back on ps4 spinning and body slamming and ready to defeat cortex once again
