Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game)	comment	In an effort to create a bunch of anthropomorphic, hyper-intelligent animals to serve as an army to lead them to world domination, Dr. Neo Cortex and Dr. Nitrus Brio create the Evolv-O-Ray, a device that can mutate any animal into a super-strong, hyper-intelligent warrior, and the Cortex Vortex, a brain manipulation device that can make anyone and anything a blind follower of Cortex's orders. One of their first experiments with the Evolv-O-Ray is Crash, a bandicoot snatched from the local island wilderness and chosen to serve as the leader of Cortex's army. However, the Cortex Vortex fails on Crash, and he escapes through a window while Cortex and Brio prepare to experiment on Crash's love interest, Tawna. The next day, Crash washes up on the shores of N. Sanity Beach and vows to defeat Cortex and rescue Tawna from his fortress, with the help of a native mask spirit named Aku Aku who wants Crash to take down Cortex, so he'll stop polluting the islands.So, begins Crash Bandicoot for the Sony PlayStation, which is the very first game in the series. The goal is simple: Destroy crates and defeat enemies as you reach your goal. If you break enough crates, you'll earn a Gem in each level. Getting a certain amount of clear gems will earn you the 100% Completion ending. This game also has some Early-Installment Weirdness as there's no sliding, belly-flopping or Coco. Just traditional spinning, Goomba Stomping and Crash's girlfriend, Tawna. Aside from the main levels, there are also Bonus Stages and boss fights, some of which can be real challenging unless you got pure gamer skills.This game, along with Cortex Strikes Back and Warped, were remade on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC with updated graphics and new features, as part of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_143e6c8d	comment	Crash, while still a Heroic Mime, was a bit more vocal in this game. He lets out a shout in the main menu, he utters an "Uh-oh" in the opening cutscene, he sings "Da-da-daaah!" when he gets a gem, and shouts "Yee-haw" whenever he beats a boss. Most games since then limited his vocabulary to him saying "whoa" whenever he dies, with the Radical Entertainment titles turning him into The Unintelligible.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c	type	Violation of Common Sense
Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c	comment	Violation of Common Sense Oooooh boy is the first Crash game in love with this: Right at the end of the very first level, there's a large gap with a bridge of crates that provide the only means of crossing it. In order to get the Gem for breaking all a level's crates, most players assume you have to bounce on each individual crate, one-by-one, to get it. Turns out the more effective solution is to go back to the third Aku Aku crate to get invincibility and walk across it, as walking across a crate with invincibility will incur a 1 second delay on the crate breaking. Not that the game ever tells you this, and few players would try given that in all other situations, invincibility breaks crates instantly! Up the Creek has this on two levels. There's a ! Crate that doesn't appear to do anything at all after you hit it, as nothing changes later down the level. You're expected the backtrack through the level and find two crates on the banks on the river. What pushes it into this trope is that, unlike all other crates revealed by ! crates, there's no wireframe to let you know crates will appear there to begin with! On top of that, to get there you have to go over a line of lily-pads that sink when you step on them (which you had to do to get to the ! crate). The game never tells you that the lily-pads rise back up if you wait for a few seconds, so most players will assume they can't go back! Temple Ruins contains another good one. Mid-way through you'll see a Wumpa Fruit floating just over the edge of a platform. If you walk left to get it (rather than jumping and turning around in mid-air like a sane person), you'll reveal a line of crates that form a bridge to a large stack of crates. You're expected to make what appears to be a suicidal walk off the edge to reveal it! In both Road to Nowhere and The High Road, there are hidden Golden Planks of the bridge that, surprise surprise, are completely invisible until you step on them, with no suggestion that you should even go down that path until you make the leap of faith. In Heavy Machinery, there are a bunch of crates hidden down on a platform that you can only reach by jumping down what appears to be a pit that would kill you like every other pit in the game. Your only "tell" are a pair of drones hovering down in the pit (and these drones kill Crash on contact, so the player has no reason to go after them). Possibly the most infamous example in the franchise comes from Jaws of Darkness. Late in the level you'll cross a line of falling platforms. To get all the crates in the level, you must walk left off the first one, revealing a completely invisible falling platform. Keep going left to reveal a whole bridge of them, leading to a stack of crates you need to get for both the Gem and the Key for another level.

The levels Road to Nowhere and The High Road have Crash cross a prolonged, decayed bridge above the dense clouds in the sky. Crash has to watch for the fragile parts of the bridge to avoid falling, and use upside-down turtle shells to jump large gaps.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_38a71f91	comment	Platform-Activated Ability: As Crash progresses in the levels, he may occasionally find small, immaterial icons shaped like gems that hover in the air or next to pits, and don't appear to serve any purpose. However, once he finds a gem whose color matches that of these icons, they'll materialize and turn into bigger, solid platforms. Thanks to this effect provided by the colored gem, Crash can access parts he couldn't before. Depending on the case, the platforms are either static and Crash simply uses them as support, or will move as soon as he stands onto them to transport him to a new area. The standard colorless gems lack this attribute, except for the platforms in the penultimate level that unlock the hidden ending (even then, each platform requires one colorless gem to materialize, due to the latter's weaker power).

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: This game differs in many ways from the subsequent entries in the series: This is the first of only three Crash games with a world map; the second was N-Tranced for the GBA 7 years later, and the idea of a world map wouldn't be touched upon again until Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time 24 years later. The map system also makes the levels follow an untold but coherent story (Crash's journey from N. Sanity beach, where he confronts aborigenes on the first island, fights mutants who saccage the second island, and attacks the power plant to destroy Cortex Castle on the third island), while the two following games' levels are only excuses for various settings and wacky gameplay changes. The story-focused succession of levels will not come back before Crash Twinsanity 8 years later, and It's About Time 24 years later. Saving is rather non-standard, involving either earning gems or completing certain types of bonus rounds. Once completed, these cannot be repeated to save the game later. The game features passwords, largely overshadowing the save system. No crystals for beating a level; instead, progress is measured in plain old "levels", as in levels cleared. Conversely, there are hidden keys that unlock secret levels, whereas in later games you just find your way to secret levels or are based on the relic challenges. As for more minor differences, the following two games use a completely different character model for Crash.note except for certain death animations Crash also moves somewhat slower, and he doesn't have his slide and belly flop moves. His run cycle is also different from the more exaggerated one seen in 2 and 3. Cortex sounds completely different; in this game, he is voiced by Naughty Dog series mainstay Brendan O'Brien, whose take on him is completely different from what Clancy Brown in the next game and later on Lex Lang would do with it. With the exception of boss themes, the soundtrack sounds more ambient and atmospheric compared to the following titles. Several character staples such as Coco, N. Gin, Tiny and Dingodile are completely absent. And the only female character this game does have is Tawna, who wouldnâ€™t reappear until Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, 23 years later. Gem paths mostly consist of static platforms of gems that you have to jump your way into the side path of the level, although some are floating platforms that fly up towards the side path of the level like they exclusively do in the sequels. With one exception, gem paths also contain crates that are needed for breaking and thus getting the gem of the stage, while in later games they don't always contain crates and have a second gem.note In Crash 2's own version of this trope, it's one or the other. Additionally, this is the only game in the series to feature a clear gem path and for particular colored gems paths to appear in multiple levels. There are six colored gems instead of five. The extra colored gem (orange) is absent in all subsequent games. Crash, while still a Heroic Mime, was a bit more vocal in this game. He lets out a shout in the main menu, he utters an "Uh-oh" in the opening cutscene, he sings "Da-da-daaah!" when he gets a gem, and shouts "Yee-haw" whenever he beats a boss. Most games since then limited his vocabulary to him saying "whoa" whenever he dies, with the Radical Entertainment titles turning him into The Unintelligible. This game lacks the "standard" death animation of Crash turning into an angel when there's no animation specific to whatever just killed him. Instead, the entire screen blacks out while he spins around and then comically falls to the ground. TNT crates (which have a countdown) are the only explosive crates, with Nitro (which explode on touch) only appearing from the second game onwards. They also flash randomly and also on each second they're counting down. A programming oddity about TNT crates here is that, once activated, they don't explode nearby different TNT crates as they normally do if the camera is too far away from them. This affects breaking all crates in levels where the camera is close to Crash's perspective, like Toxic Waste, or when a player is too far from activated TNT crates while they progress through a level. Levels in the series traditionally have punny, alliterative or otherwise humorous names; not so much this one, where they have more straightforward names like "The Great Gate", "The Lost City", "The High Road" or "The Lab". Until you collect a level's gem, a scene plays at the end either telling you how many crates you've missed or rewarding you a gem. Later games add a crate counter at the end of level that contains the gem for you to pick up. Because the game was released before analog sticks were common in gaming, this was the only home console Crash game not to make any use of the analog stick found on the later PlayStation controller models such as the Dual Analog Controller and the DualShock.

He spends the battle shooting three different-colored laser shots at you: pink, green, and blue. You have to work out that you have to spin the green shots back at him. Other than the different color, there's absolutely nothing to clue you in that you're supposed to do something with those shots, and even then, because the rule throughout the rest of the game has been that laser shots will kill you, most players would never think to spin into them. Unless you've seen this boss beaten before, there's almost no way you'll ever figure out how to beat this boss aside from sheer luck or consulting a guide.

You have to wait a couple seconds before you're able to spin again. This was presumably put in so players couldn't just spin their way through everything. This feature was also present in the next two sequels.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_83edb5ab	comment	Difficulty by Region: The first boss, Papu Papu, has five hit points in the Japanese version (instead of three) and after the third hit, he starts attacking faster. Also, the password system was removed, forcing you to rely on saves (which were limited to the Tawna Bonus Rounds and after getting gems). Part of the level "The High Road" was removed in the Japanese version, "Sunset Vista" was moved later in the game (switched with "Slippery Climb"), and Aku Aku sometimes gives you hints. In the European/Australian versions, Ripper Roo jumps more slowly, but "The Lab" has only one checkpoint instead of two.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_84f4a870	comment	Puzzle Boss: Ripper Roo, who hops around the arena as conveniently appearing TNT boxes float by, and he's invincible to your attacks. Defeating him involves timing the TNT's detonations against his predictable movement patterns in order to catch him in the explosions. Cortex is an example of a Guide Dang It! puzzle boss. He spends the battle shooting three different-colored laser shots at you: pink, green, and blue. You have to work out that you have to spin the green shots back at him. Other than the different color, there's absolutely nothing to clue you in that you're supposed to do something with those shots, and even then, because the rule throughout the rest of the game has been that laser shots will kill you, most players would never think to spin into them. Unless you've seen this boss beaten before, there's almost no way you'll ever figure out how to beat this boss aside from sheer luck or consulting a guide.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_a24989ce	comment	Save Point: The game has two methods of saving, but both come with caveats: Tawna's Bonus Stages act as save points, allowing you to save your progress and, depending on the case, either consider the current level complete (even if you don't reach the end) or at least allows you to resume from the start on your next session. However, in order to access those stages, you need to collect all Tawna-related collectibles (three in total) located in the level; also, if you fail to complete the bonus stage, you'll have to repeat the whole level (including getting Tawna's items again) to have another chance. Also, the Gems and Keys collected are not saved this way, and not all levels have this type of bonus stage. Collecting a Gem in a level by breaking all crates will allow you to save the collection, but not the level's completion (also, all crates must be destroyed without losing a life, or else the procedure won't work). The same applies to collecting a Key in Neo Cortex's bonus stage, which in turn is unlocked after you get all three items with Neo's face marked in them (and make sure not to fail the round, or else you'll have to repeat the entire level to restart the process).

They also flash randomly and also on each second they're counting down. A programming oddity about TNT crates here is that, once activated, they don't explode nearby different TNT crates as they normally do if the camera is too far away from them. This affects breaking all crates in levels where the camera is close to Crash's perspective, like Toxic Waste, or when a player is too far from activated TNT crates while they progress through a level.

Tawna's bonus levels are breathers, where the player can collect extra lives, and save the game or get a password. Brio's bonus levels consist of much more challenging jumping puzzles, with bigger rewards to match. Cortex's bonus levels are the hardest, with absolutely devious platforming challenges. Sadly, only Cortex's levels are obligatory for 100% Completion, because beating them unlocks extra levels... but should you fail them, you'll have to restart the stage you came from for another chance, and one of the bonus levels happens to be located in the game's most difficult level, Sunset Vista.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_c3d60914	comment	Continuing is Painful: There's an unintentionally unique example of this: the save system doesn't remember how many lives you have. While not a problem in the early portions of the game, every level after the second boss is difficult enough to make this a problem, because if you turn the console off, loading up the save later will give you the default amount of 5 lives. To make things worse, you are taken back to the last level you saved the game in, which isn't always the last level you actually got up to. The end result, historically, is that many PS1s were left on overnight simply to preserve the collected lives.note There are only two saving graces for this. First, loading a save means all the 1up Crates in earlier levels are restored, so redoing the early levels will help. Second, once you get the Green Gem, you can use it in Castle Machinery to get 30 lives. Unfortunately, that's one of the last levels in the entire game.

"Boulders": while Indy Escape is used in later games too, this is the only time where the reference to Indiana Jones is this clear. "Boulder Dash": aside from the aforementioned Indy Escape thing, the level's name isn't just a pun on "balderdash" by itself; the fact you're running away from a boulder makes it a reference to the actual Boulder Dash game, too. Nitrus Brio (boss stage): Brio isn't just a case of Jekyll & Hyde; the "monster" persona is also green, reckless and with his crotch being the only clothed body part.

However, in order to access those stages, you need to collect all Tawna-related collectibles (three in total) located in the level; also, if you fail to complete the bonus stage, you'll have to repeat the whole level (including getting Tawna's items again) to have another chance. Also, the Gems and Keys collected are not saved this way, and not all levels have this type of bonus stage.

Due to how Crash's shadow doesn't vanish when jumping over a bottomless pit (as you would expect), there's no way to tell where the platforms are. More invisible platforms appear elsewhere (of the iron box and falling varieties) that at least have the decency to be marked by some Wumpa Fruit, and there's at least one instance where a box is stashed away behind the background, where by all means it seems you should die by trying to go there.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_e57198a4	comment	Advancing Wall of Doom: Advancing Ball of Doom, at any rate, but still, big, rolling-towards-the-screen stone balls pose potent threats in the levels Boulders and Boulder Dash.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_e6ce4b	comment	The Maze: Cortex Power is shaped like this; the camera view is from above instead of behind Crash and there are a number of branches and dead ends of the level. It also has a secret route that required a blue gem.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_ea46254a	comment	Jiggle Physics: The only reason Naughty Dog's character designers thought it was a good idea to include Papu Papu as a boss was because the animators loved to animate jiggling fat.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_ef43c232	comment	Stormy Ascent, which was not made available in the initial release and is even more intimidating in this regard. The N. Sane Trilogy officially added the level as Downloadable Content and its Sapphire time is 7 minutes. The Gold relic time is the longest by a huge margin as well, at 4:30, and the Platinum is not much shorter.

After all, it is the same temple that gets destroyed at the beginning of Warped, leading to his freedom.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_f3c2fec5	comment	Jungle Japes: Many levels in the first island are set inside a tropical jungle, often combining the setting with Ruins for Ruins' Sake. In addition to dealing with tribal mooks, wild animal enemies and pitfalls, Crash also has to keep an eye on harmful gizmos like swinging donut rocks, sinking lily pads in the river, spiked trunks, flames that periodially ignite with greater force, and in one case (later again in a level from the second island) a large boulder that forces him to perform an Indy Escape.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	comment	Sequence Breaking: You can get to the secret path of The Great Gate without getting the yellow gem, by jumping close to the edge of the finish pad without activating it, and then jumping to the other edge, then jumping over a pit to a platform to the left.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) (Video Game) / int_fbcdeede	comment	Leap of Faith: Both Temple Ruins and Jaws of Darkness feature areas where you have to walk across what appears to be a normal pit that in fact has either invisible boxes or Temporary Platforms that appear only when Crash steps on them. Road to Nowhere has a section at the end accessed with the Red Gem where there are, you guessed it, pairs of gold planks that only appear when Crash steps on them, with big gaps in-between. The High Road does it even worse: you have to do it from the start of the level going backwards. The Heavy Machinery level has a pit where the edges are flanked at the bottom by two enemies who kill Crash on contact. Jump down, and you'll find a few boxes as well as one of the N. Brio tokens.
