Will never forget the PlayStation magazine review said this game "had the same plinky plonky music as the first crash." Are you kidding haha this soundtrack is unbelievably brilliant!!
Unfortunately, even skilled musicians are known to reject the works of other skilled musicians. From a purely objective stand point, this level of composition is above what most people can grasp.
I always loved how the music progressively gets faster. It sort of reflects when a player is learning for the first time how to use the jetpack and once the player gets used to it they progress through the level faster. I see what you did there Naughty Dog, good job ;)
How people can say games aren't art amuses me. Infact, it's like a mash of 3 very important sections of art (Storytelling,Visual, and Musical) While integrating it's own 4'th element, player interactivity. This song so wonderfully describes the level itself without you even needing to take a look at it. Slow and gradual buildup... and you Crash readies himself for a leap.... unsure, but excited... the jetpack is secure, he takes a running start, and blasts forward! Ahem... In any case, a brilliant piece from a brilliant game. Josh Mancell, you are a genius, and your music is forever intertwined with my childhood T-T
LuigiMan1800 Raven Kurōdo I swear guys, you just never know what comments are gonna get activity. I actually thought most people would disagree with me xD
Some video games can be art. Earthbound, Mother 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Portal, etc. But it has to tell a good story. Crash 2, though? No. This is a silly game about a trouser-wearing marsupial fighting a mad scientist and riding polar bear babies like they're razorbacks. This is not a good game to use as an example for your argument.
It's amazing how complex this music is... from how it speeds up at the beginning to having all the different bits of it.... Epic. The levels were awesome too!
It only took a year or less to create each sequel for the Crash trilogy. Games today would blow up with such a short development time. Game devolvement these days may be bigger in scale but they also have larger teams, bigger budget, more development time, established game engines with tons of documentation, and access to the internet and yet they still turn out to be broken, buggy messes most of the time. I really have to admire game design from years ago that had to create there own engine and work with huge constrictions.
So true. Also let's not forget they got the entire Crash trilogy out with like 200MB of RAM and that's best-case scenario. And they all had to come out perfect on first release. No second, third and millionth chance to do "patch updated and bugfixes" like todays devs do it. It either came out playable or it went down the drain.
Naughty Dog back then: Made three unique Crash Bandicoot games that released one after the other in two years Naughty Dog now: Spent a decade making and REMAKING TWO Last of Us games
Me gusta cuando las mejores partes del juego están cerca del final, es la recompensa para los que juntamos todas las gemas y cristales de niveles pasados antes de presenciar la genialidad de los niveles del quinto mundo xD
Esta música le fue muy de acuerdo al nivel tan épico que se jugaba, creo fue el primer nivel de crash que realmente no me esperaba, ese salto de controlar a crash de esa manera era de las cosas que le daban sentido a mi vida cuando niño xD
The controls were what made these missions challenging because they were inverted, i loved it! and this track is one of the most epic Crash Bandicoot tracks out of the original trilogy
De acuerdo. Es buenísima pero hay muchas! Mi nivel favorito es Bee Havin' y la canción.....super genial. Talvez sea mi favorita. Ésta entra allí en mi top diez. ^•^
absolutely fantastic. so stylish and yet so fitting with the whole visual theme of crash bandicoot. the entire trilogy really is a masterpiece, visually, musically, and gameplay-wise. god damn, I love crash so much. nothing like this comes out of mainstream media nowadays.
Me too. I also hope they have an option to switch between the original and remastered like in audio, voice acting, (but without the proper lip sync.) and other things.
The composer of the old Crash games was Mark Mothersbaugh of the band Devo. He also did the soundtracks for Rugrats, Rocket Power and Peewee's Playhouse!
This song I had on repeat one night and then a cat I was close to passed away. I had to move on of course, but she did not deserve to get sick and it was somewhat traumatic still when I heard this, 3 years later.
It felt so good to finally get to this level in the game. This was like the ultimate thing in CB2, hell they even showed it in the opening. It's kind of like in CB3 with the wampa-fruit bazooka.
Its 1998. A five years old, bored, decides to turn on his PlayStation and to play a game called Crash Bandicoot 2. Little does he know, since that moment, he would spend hundreds of hours over it, trying to complete it and get all the gems. Its 2000, in a hot summer night a 7 years old and his father are playing Crash Bandicoot 3. They are stuck in the motorcycle level and they are trying to figure out a way to beat it. That 7 years old though, still doesn't know he would be able to beat the game getting all the gems only decades later. Its 2001, and a 8 years old is playing a really nice and fun game called Crash Bash. Its pretty different from the main Crash Saga but still really funny. That same year, he would play an amazing game called Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex on his brand new PS2. Its 2022, and that kid is no longer a kid, but still he comes to listen to Crash Bandicoot soundtracks from time to time and still he gets the same feelings everytme, shivers, happiness and nostalgia, nostalgia of a time that its gone but that will forever remain inside his heart, the same place in which that kid rests, a kid who after all never ceased to exist.
1.- Since the moment I saw the boxart and the introduction of the game I was hyped for this level... And I loved it. 2.- This level brings me so many nostalgic moments. 3.- SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! (sorry, I never did that meme)
My favourite soundtrack from all the Crash Bandicoot series is this song, with the sewer songs from same game, those 2 are the greatest soundtrack ever to me!
This is my favourite theme in all of the Crash Bandicoot franchise. It evolves so much, so catchy and space-y.... plus it brings back fond memories of spinning the hell out of those floating electric dudes
I loved Twinsanity and Tag Team Racing. It offered a 3-D roaming adventure game for the first time in Crash history, and I found both games to be hilarious and entertaining :)
This actually was the first videogame i played in my life! I started watching my dad play this when i was 4, then i was so in to it that i played every evening...
How the Jetpack controls work: Move the analog stick up to fly downwards Move the analog stick down to fly upwards Press X to move forwards Press O to move backwards How I would have prefered it: Press X to move upwards Don't press X to move downwards Move the analog stick in WHATEVER FREAKING DIRECTION YOU WANT TO FLY TO ...seriously, who thought those controls would be a good idea?
You can reverse the controls to Up = Up and Down = Down from the pause menu. I've gotten used to the inverted so that's easier for me, but just saying :D
Will never forget the PlayStation magazine review said this game "had the same plinky plonky music as the first crash." Are you kidding haha this soundtrack is unbelievably brilliant!!
"Crash Bandicoot 2 Soundtrack: 5/10. *USUAL PLINKY PLONKY MUSIC*"

*ARE YOU MENTAL, MAGAZINE?!*
I'm taking "plinky plonky music" as a good thing then haha
This is by far one of the best songs in the game.
It's not a song, there are no songs in the game.
@@hugoclarke3284 Let us refer it to a song or a soundtrack, whatever we want. lmaooo
I can't choose between this and Hang Eight, they're both absolute beasts.
The best music in the entire franchise
in Crash 2, i'd say this is a close second to the chase theme
Lol, Crash took a selfie in space before it was cool.
Tollie Emmett You son of a Bitch
Toilet Emmett.
But, is it a selfie when he wasn't the one using the camera?
@@k-leb4671 There's no gravity up there, so why does he have to hold it?
At least it was not a Duck face
I love how it speeds up after that slower build up. As if the beginning was the take-off, and the faster section is the rocket continuing its journey.
+MasterJakeStudios I think that's the whole point.
Me: How in the world do i control this?!!
After epic loop: Alright!! Let's go!!
as a kid thats always how i imagined it would sound if i ever went to space. this song would be playing in the background
This whole game just oozes creativity and personality. It's beautiful.
I always loved how the music progressively gets faster. It sort of reflects when a player is learning for the first time how to use the jetpack and once the player gets used to it they progress through the level faster. I see what you did there Naughty Dog, good job ;)

This song so wonderfully describes the level itself without you even needing to take a look at it.
Slow and gradual buildup... and you Crash readies himself for a leap.... unsure, but excited... the jetpack is secure, he takes a running start, and blasts forward!

Best fucking track in the game
Yeah, this track is so cool
It is up there but I think Eel Deal's Special route was better
+Toxic-Vermin it starts ok, then gets better and better!
Not only the game the best crash series track
Sorry Sewers level beat that for me!...
2019.. and still loyal and sincere to this franchise..
I love you Crash..

It's amazing how complex this music is... from how it speeds up at the beginning to having all the different bits of it.... Epic. The levels were awesome too!

To add to this, I think Crash Bandicoot 2 actually had a different engine from the first one.
Naughty Dog back then: Made three unique Crash Bandicoot games that released one after the other in two years

Crash Bandicoot had such good music. Always cheers me up and fills me with a kind of childlike optimism when listening to it.
Josh Mancell is a genius, this is easily one of the best tracks in the game and my favorite one :D
❤ Josh
Imagine this remastered with live instruments. *Drools at the thought*

Cloud0009 Your comment was literally stupid.
Es tan lindo escuchar un soundtrack majestuoso Justo casi al final del juego
si
Y también da inspiración a seguir adelante
They must be deaf cause the songs seem way slower paced, funkier and even go on longer than the songs in the first game.
Cierto y fantástico!
Me gusta cuando las mejores partes del juego están cerca del final, es la recompensa para los que juntamos todas las gemas y cristales de niveles pasados antes de presenciar la genialidad de los niveles del quinto mundo xD
This music really makes you feel. Like your in space in a PlayStation 1 era game
Not knowing anything about a game and coming across such a banger is one of the best feelings that can ever be taken away from me.
Es increíble que esta obra de arte haya llegado a los 1 Millón de Visitas 😢❤
El mejor soundtrack de Crash Bandicoot 2
De la saga*
Incluso supera su misma versión del remake
@@huevomayor2 eso es verdad
Que nostalgia, mi pinche infancia, TE AMO CRASH BANDICOOT
cada cancion de cada juego de crash de la play1 es una obra de arte
exacto
Rubén Díaz Fernández son muy buenas pero me gusta mas las del twinsanity
Rubén Díaz Fernández las del lucha de titanes y el cocomaniaco son no tan queridas
@@paolomoaralesmoralesquispe9337 Ami del coco maníaco no me gustan las canciones pero el juego está chido

that moment when it´s about to kick in is precious
the moment as kid was unforgettable
My hands still sweat whenever you have to thread the needle between the Nitro Boxes…
I always loved how the stars outside the windows rotated and made it look like the whole level was slowly spinning.
Si algún día llego a viajar al espacio exterior, voy a poner esta canción durante todo el viaje
Exacto que mas bueno que este temazo para viajar por el espacio

Murió en el espacio
Loved the music, hated the controls, adored the level's general idea and design.
Yeah, everything's good about this level except for the controls. And those annoying guys that shock you.
+Emmannuel Alexandre Actually, you can change inverted controls if you pause the game to go to options.
I never had any problem with the controls, making this my most anticipated vehicle stage in any Crash game :)
The jetpack controls are the true final boss.
They're not that bad.
Fantastic groove bass line, smashing percussion, effervescent melody, and infectious hooks and overall superb vibe. Such 80s/90s creativity
Esta música le fue muy de acuerdo al nivel tan épico que se jugaba, creo fue el primer nivel de crash que realmente no me esperaba, ese salto de controlar a crash de esa manera era de las cosas que le daban sentido a mi vida cuando niño xD
Buenos momentos xd.
La mejor parte de nuestras vidas
Una obra maestra ese nivel y él soundtrack le da un ambiente tenebroso excelente nivel.
Sip
La verdad que sí está genial el nivel pero creo que lo único que no me gustó fue los controles eran horribles
I remember knocking Cortex's henchmen into those burning walls.
+Xehanort10 you make my day xD
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You sinister fucker, I love you.
Ñyyaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!
You can definitely hear the DEVO influence considering one of the composers of this game is literally the co-founder of the band.
Watching people cover this on piano makes me appreciate the composition even more!
El mejor Crash de la historia
El mejor soundtrack que escuche del Gran Crash Bandicoot!! que buena infancia para todos los que lo vivimos ;)
IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song remastered. Can't wait.
Man, I haven't got a PS4, but probably this year I'm gonna spend all my saves For buying it
I hope Activision doesn't make it a mess :S
I really hope they don't fuck it up.
What are you serious?! Where when did you see it?!?!?
Esta canción es simple y bellamente épico aun me acuerdo que descubrí el juego por un disco que te incluía una gran cantidad de demos
this! this is the enbodyment of the crash genre of music
Lowkey think Crash 2 has the best music in the franchise. Another BANGER here
This feels like a medley of some of the most iconic songs of the trilogy, really makes you feel like this is the peak moment of the game
I always floated idly (in a safe place) just to hear this awesome track omgggg
I would use the room where you port in as a briefing room and I would give Crash his mission. XD
thats what a real man does. Respect
The controls were what made these missions challenging because they were inverted, i loved it! and this track is one of the most epic Crash Bandicoot tracks out of the original trilogy
Best Crash Bandicoot Music EVER
Among the bests yes clearly
Now the best is the music of Off beat from Crash 4
no my fav is the eel deal

This was the first video game I ever played in my life. I remember it came with my Playstation 1 package. So many good memories :')
Same here, this was my first video game, I first played it when I was 5, and what a damn good first game.
Still give goosebumps after all this years

Temazo insuperable del crash bandicoot 2
Los años que pasan solo la hace mas cool
The best crash game ost of them all even 4
I liked this song the first time when i heard it.
That eerie intro in the beginning, already knew shit was about to go down
probably the best track from all the games

This is definitely my all time favorite theme in Crash Bandicoot 2 with the Road to Ruin theme! Both are so awesome!!!
Epic! Great memories begins to flood my mind..the music itself is already amazing beyond words!
what a great soundtrack . such a classic awesomeness Crash you are my nostalgia overload..superbb
+Muhammad Zaidi This song Chills and epic
It felt so good to finally get to this level in the game. This was like the ultimate thing in CB2, hell they even showed it in the opening. It's kind of like in CB3 with the wampa-fruit bazooka.
I will defend the Jetpack Levels until i die, these were amazing. Once you learn the controls, they're really fun.
Love the cello. God I'm a sucker for orchestral strings.
I remember playing that level as a kid and speeding tf up so I could grab the jet back so it took off as the music built up
Él mejor soundtrack de todos los ptos juegos de crash !!

La mejor musica de crash bandicoot 2 en mi opinion
I loved Twinsanity and Tag Team Racing. It offered a 3-D roaming adventure game for the first time in Crash history, and I found both games to be hilarious and entertaining :)
You know that the game gets epic when you have made it this far.
I think this might always be my favourite video game track... it's been so many years and it still hasn't changed.
lets face it
crash 2's ost is its own genre of music
This sounds like the opening to a sci fi movie for kids. I love it
2:32
My favorite part
This actually was the first videogame i played in my life! I started watching my dad play this when i was 4, then i was so in to it that i played every evening...
I loved this level when I was a little kid
This song aged like a fine wine.
Esta cancion envejece como un buen vino.
How the Jetpack controls work:
Move the analog stick up to fly downwards
Move the analog stick down to fly upwards
Press X to move forwards
Press O to move backwards
How I would have prefered it:
Press X to move upwards
Don't press X to move downwards
Move the analog stick in WHATEVER FREAKING DIRECTION YOU WANT TO FLY TO
...seriously, who thought those controls would be a good idea?
me
Crash bandicoot is a nervous and confusing series they will do anything just to make it hard to pass these levels
***** ... Actually, you're right, I haven't even thought about that. But still, the controls could have been better.
You can reverse the controls to Up = Up and Down = Down from the pause menu. I've gotten used to the inverted so that's easier for me, but just saying :D
I liked the challenge of the controls but still you're right they don't make sense.
This will always be a masterpiece. Josh Mancell made my childhood amazing.
Ésta es LA canción de Crash, indiscutiblemente 💜👏
These levels from Crash 2 are the first ever memory’s gaming and I just remember playing on a pull out chair in my garage
