Man, nostalgia aside I really dislike Crash 1+2, there's so much BS in those games that it's not even fun half the time (I finished both of them fyi). 3 might have a lot more gimmicky levels but they're so much more fun to play through without constant focus

Having already played the N.Sane Trilogy last year on the PS4, I went into the Switch version (playing entirely in handheld mode while I'm at work) and played the first Crash so well I barely died and had nearly 99 lives before the end of the game without that gem path with all the lives. After having played them all (nearly finished Warped on X1X) I enjoy Crash 1 more since I feel a sense of accomplishment finishing levels with Crash's limited move set in the first game. Plus the revamped saving feature for part 1 and the ability to retry Bonus stages without starting the level over made going through Crash 1 refreshing especially since my time on the PS4 version was so recent.

WTF. I have the yellow gem yet in the lights out stage it is not giving me the gem options for the extra boxes. Any solutions I don't understand. Is there something else I need to do?

Can someone please give me the maximum percentage of each game in the trilogy?
I finished Crash 1 & 2 so far (Switch version), these are my numbers:

According to reddit posts, those who cleared Stormy Ascent AFTER finishing the final boss are missing 1%, thus I made sure to clear the level & obtain the gem before facing the final boss & ending the game.
Am I missing anything in Crash 1 & 2 aside from the relics?
Are people facing percentage troubles in Crash 3 finishing Future Tense after the final boss as well?
What's the maximum percentage in Crash 3? since I'm planning to get everything in it including the relics.

Sorry if this was asked before.

Thanks : )

That's my biggest issue. They just aren't fun to me compared to like a donkey Kong. Those are very challenging but fun. To me these are just frustrating for no reason.

105/102/108%
You're good with Crash 1, you should get another % for 26/26 relics and another % for Stormy Ascent relic

What about Crash 2? I got 100%, how to get the remaining 2%? 1% for collecting all relics, but the other % ?
Also, is there a detailed breakdown for the 108% of Crash 3?

Thank you

You need get 1% for the sapphire relics in Crash 2 and then another percent for the gold relics.

To get 108% in Crash 3 you need gold relics on all the stages in the base game (you get the final gem for getting all the gold relics), as well as both gems and the gold relic on Future Tense. Also don;t worry about doing it before the final boss. I did it after getting everything in the base game and still got 108%.

Wow, so they didn't even bother to fix the 104% completion glitch? Can't get to 105% on my Crash 1 save because I beat the final boss before going for the Stormy Ascent relic. Fuck it, I'll just chalk it up as complete anyway.

I finally went through Future Tense the other day. That there was tricky stage, in a way I like. Plenty of sneaky, clever twists on Crash 3's level design. I kinda hope they do another original level, but for Crash 2. Power-ups are fun but I like the happy medium of Crash's moveset there the best.
And the unlockable run ability is a perfect fit. I'd love it if VV could craft a more "pure platforming" challenge like CB1 with the expanded abilities of CB2 at play, that would probably be my ideal new Crash.

Just beat him again and nope, still 104%. Kind of surprised they didn't tackle it. Seems to have been a well known issue since the PS4 versions launch last year by the looks of it.

Just started with my gf last night. Big nostaligia vibes for both of us. Only problem is we are so used to multiplayer options now, lol. We are back to passing the controller between stages. Lol.

Pretty much nailed it. At least with Donkey Kong there's a genuine challenge that makes you improve as a player the more you progress. With the N-Sane trilogy it feels like it wasn't my fault half the time I die because of wonky physics, N-sanely tight platforming or weird hitboxes from some enemies that push Crash off of a ledge

Welp, i didn't finish Stormy Ascent and jumped right into Crash 2 in order to finish the three games and then go there. Thats lame man :(.

Anyway, i still can't see where some people are saying this game is challenging but not fun. Are we playing the same game? i finished Tropical Freeze this year and im a big fan of the Retro games, and still having the blast of my life with this collection. This is impossible not to like at 1080@60fps. Are we playing the same game or im just using my nostalgia googles? Again, i love my platform games as much as anyone and i still fail to see how people are not liking this collection, at least on PC.

MAN, this damn bridge level in Crash 1. The hell were ND thinking?! O_o

Crash 1 in general is WAY too hard. How folks managed to 100% this, I will never know.

Finally beaten all three Crash games this week-end on Switch.

Pretty satisfied with the port. One day I'll probably try to 100% but now I need a break, I played Crash all week. :lol

I wonder if THIS is the complaint of the pill-shaped hit box. It likely means it's narrower to stay on the ropes or very thin spots, since a square/cube hit box would be more friendly and give you more width to work with.

I'm pretty sure it is what causes my biggest issue with the game- the instances of narrowly landing on a platform only to slip off the edge.

I'd prefer to just miss the platform entirely then to be given the feedback of landing, only to die. Makes it feel as if I was robbed of that landing.

The worst part about this is that it was clearly unintentional. Those pills are just what came with the engine. Unfortunately, there hasn't been enough negative feedback on this matter to make them fix this. People just chalk it up to Crash being hard and carry on.

P.S. Sorry to be the bearer of demoralizing news, but there are two bridge levels. The second one is harder or at least dumber, since it emphasizes the mechanic of jumping via turtles.

Played the game for the first time since the update (PS4) and wow the load times really have improved, under two seconds between level/warp room transitions is a massive upgrade from what we got before. HDR is pretty nice too, it fits the game's art style really well.

I think it wasn't posted yet, but a mod to the PC version, that brings the original music tracks is in the works. You can download beta version with music for Crash 1 added.

What's even cooler is the fact that you should be able to import pre-console versions of the tracks (if those are available) wich have even better, richer sound of the original ones.

You can see a few more samples here.

So I just learned about the pill-shaped hitboxes, that explains a lot. The Bridge to Nowhere level in Crash 1 was driving me friggin' crazy. Amateur hour game design. Yet it must be doing something right because I kept trying until I beat it. The boulder escape level immediately afterward was easy but a lot of fun.

Looking forward to the apparently much improved sequels once I power through the original. Hollow Knight is dominating my gaming time but I like playing Crash on the side.

Crash 1 terminated with 100%

I had a blast. In the original PS1 i was blocked by the Slippery Slope level and couldn't ever finish it. But now i had my revenge muahahaha.

Crash 2 was done already.

Crash 3 is getting on my nerves with the motorcycles levels...

I recently cleared Crash 1 and about 1/2 of Crash 2. I decided that I wanted to format my PC.. so I did and got everything set up again. Installed Steam and Crash... started it up... and my save file was gone....

I checked if the game had cloud saving compatibility, and yes it does. I checked the preferences and 0 btyes stored... Cloud storage was and is active.. so I started a new save and tried it.. and for some reason it's not syncing with the server.. so there went all my progress. I still can't get the game to sync my saves to the cloud...

Is this an issue for anyone else? Maybe a warning to backup your saves as well.

Got this game on switch on friday and ive been loving it. Its great playing Crash 1 without the archaic save system it used to have!! The pill hitbox is wild to me because i wouldve never noticed. the stages giving me major issues are the same ones that gave me trouble the last i fully played Crash 1 a decade ago. I hadnt even thought about Sunset Vista in years but the second that name popped up i was like "Ah shit..." Finally got through The High Road over tea this morning and felt like a boss and then saw fukken Slippery Climb was next. Total mood whiplash lmao, i forgot those two were back to back

Unfortunately it seems that the good devs at Iron Galaxy set up the cloud storage wrong. They point it at a totally different folder than the game actually saves at.

Just came to moan!! I am 2 seconds short of the time I need for the gold relic on High Road. 2 seconds never felt so impossible. I've been practising the same 1 minute long level for days and days and I now feel like I'm getting worse and not better!

I absolutely sailed through these games with no issues when I was a little girl, it's been a huge ego hit to realise how sloppy my gaming skills have become with modern mechanics!

Im sure it isnt you. High Road is a bitch as it is, and it's one of the levels where the different feeling jump and hitboxes are off compared to the originals, so it makes the level more annoying than it needs to be. Just stick with it, youll get it.

Ah thank you, I probably need a break from it, I swear I am seeing the level in my sleep! I'm being really masochist and not letting myself play Crash 2 or 3 until I've completed 1 either. Are Crash 2 and 3 easier?

Not so much easier, as i would say just more polished and refined with more quality of life things. If you can survive Crash 1, Crash 2 and 3 will feel so much better.

Yes, you do unlock the Speed Shoes after beating the final boss. This is new to the N. Sane Trilogy, as the original Crash 2 didn't have time trials or powerups.
