I'm a programmer and I can give you the likely explanation as to why heads get swapped around when you do the language glitch. My guess is that they actually animated different heads to lip sync them to the different language speeches. I assume that each language has an index from 0 through 5, and when you cancel out, it defaults to -1 or something weird like that. Next, they most likely have some sort of array-like structure for storing head animations which they access based on this language index. The head animation structure might look like this: 0: Papu-eng 1: Joe-eng 2: Pinstripe-eng 3: Oxide-eng 4: Papu-fra 5: Joe-fra 6: Pinstripe-fra 7: Oxide-fra 8: Papu-deu etc. So, your formula becomes x * n + h where x is the language index, n is the stride, and h is the desired head. In this case, the stride would be 4 because we have 4 different characters per language entry. Therefore, if you want to retrieve french komodo joe's head animation, you would do 1 * 4 + 1, which gives us the proper index, 5. Based on that, you can see how a language index that is NOT in range [0, 5] might fuck up that formula and result in an index that is out of bound (below zero or beyond the amount of heads in the structure) Since the game doesn't crash or glitch out from an out of bound error, it probably wraps it around with a modulo operation, so our formula becomes (x * n + h) % count where count is the total amount of available heads in the structure, 4 * 6 (4 heads, 6 languages). For example, if we assume -1 as the default language index and we want to retrieve joe's head for that "language", we get (-1 * 4 + 1) % (4 * 6) = 21, which is ACTUALLY nederlands komodo joe. In this case, our formula resulted in the proper character head but not the right language, which is understandable because we have no clue how they store head animations in the game. Also I assumed that we only have those 5 heads that need lip sync but perhaps I forgot about some other lip synced heads in the game. I realized it had something to do with lip syncing when I saw that Ripper Roo's head is unaffected by the glitch: his speech is gibberish in all languages, so his head is probably only animated once and stored elsewhere or differently!

5:18 Perfect edits don't exi......wow!

Papu Papu was the final boss all along

>useful glitch >Can create Endurance Cups

Should they remaster this game for the PS4? Yes they should!

Glitch Picnic Episode 34: Crash Team Racing Glitches! This is probably the most complicated edit I've done for a while, and just in time to get it out to you guys before I go to Morocco tomorrow! :D Woop! This one takes a little while to get going, but that's because it's so in depth with explanations this time, so don't let it put you guys off! :D Let me know what you thought in the comments! I'll see you guys in the next video, and comments, and don't forget, I love you all! *Mwah*

I can explain the constant rescue glitch. The game determines which areas are considered out of bounds based on which polygon of the track you're touching. Which polygons are considered ok to drive on constantly get updated as you progress through the track. Crossing the finish line and finishing a lap resets your position to the beginning collection of valid polygons, but your respawn position isn't updated until you actually touch one of them, causing the mask to respawn you over polygons which are considered "way at the end of the lap" and considering it out of bounds.

0:33 “sit back, relax and die” lol am I the only one that heard that?

The glitches in this video summerised: 1. - 2. "Why won't you let me go?" 3. You spin me right round, baby, right round + `Tis but a fuckup 4. LONGER CUPS! 5 + 6. What is fair play?

Absolutely loved this game as a kid. I even beat Oxide's ghost on every level in the time trials!

Aaaand, just as I feared, you misdocumented some of the glitches Here is what I caught for now : * The language glitch does, in fact, have a language : Japanese, except you can't see the letters because the game has no font for them. It's hinted by the "CBR" selection menu (instead of CTR Challenge) and if you save a ghost in time trial mode and go check it on your memory card, you'll actually see the fully translated name of the track you did a ghost on Also worth mentioning the language glitch skips a cutscene completely in adventure mode : The one before Komodo Joe For the intro cutscene,the game don't forever get stuck on the inside of oxide spaceship After dozens of minutes, the screen glitches out, for another dozens minutes before restarting to the coming of Oxide's spaceship *Wrong Warp Glitch : The setup also works with P1 as Yellow and P2 as blue. You don't need to have potions only, it works with every items, having only the potion is just practical to suicide P2 faster The items activated when you do the glitch for the first time will be the items available onwards when going to adventure mode through this glitchy way. Same can be said for the map selection, you don't need to select specifically rocky road, it's just practical to wrong warp faster In fact, if Lab Basement is unlocked, that saves one retry on the glitch, since the map value is 24, not 23. 12:49 : The cutscene isn't screwed up, another effect of the wrong warp Another thing to mention is that if you're going with a loaded save file or a new save file on the adventure mode bringing a boss/Penta, you can't actually save the game with them. Every time you try, the load/save screen treats your file as an empty file, if you didn't loaded one, or as the loaded file. Meaning you can't change the save file's character. 15:30 : If you actually wrong warp to the credits, you'll be taken back on the adventure mode with the character you were playing with in battle and you'll actually be able to do Pinstripe VS pinstripe :D Though the game doesn't like that and crashes at the end of the race, unable to display the trophy/key cutscene 16:18 : Crash doesn't act like Oxide. It acts as the boss depending on the area where the track is located. On your example, you are on Blizzard Bluff, which is located in Komodo Joe's zone, so it will act as Komodo Joe If, for example, you had chose Crash Cove, Crash would have acted as Ripper Roo. With Oxide Station, he would have acted as Pinstripe,, etc... The only tracks where the AI will act as Oxide is Slide Coliseum or Turbo Track, which are located in the Gemstone Valley, where you fight Oxide. Though I must thank you for explaining how to do the infinite respawn glitch, I always wondered what was happening in this weird game :D

Illegal shortcuts, good times, good times.

One of the best channels ever, good work Mikey

I still don't get why Australia gets the PAL version. It just feels weird with all those language options

“that’s not funny” lmao that cracked me up. That sounded so serious 😂

Awh I used to play CTR all the time with my brother back in the day.

The best game ever made, period.

Probably someone else mentioned this already, but here's my attempt at explaining the masks getting stuck rescuing the player: The game may have been programmed to "lock" the stats of the player once they cross the finish line at the end of a race. This would explain why the 1st place text remains there, and why you just keep getting rescued: since it'd be "locked", the game may still have the line/command/whatever indicating that you were out of bounds when you crossed, and it seems it may also prevent you from truly crossing the line if you are out of bounds. Mix both things and you have a beautiful loop. Just as an extra thing, I remember I kept trying falling off the track at N. Gin Labs, but not to trigger this glitch, but because I was trying to replicate something different: I remember I once fell off the track at that point, and fortunately the game did recognize it as me crossing the line, however, it also made me do a high jump from the pit, as if I had flown out of it or something. Has this happened to someone else? PD: The homing missile glitch can be easily replicated on some Arena/Battle maps. PD2: Would there be the possibility of the wrong warp glitch trying to take you to unexistent rooms (beyond the game's limit)? Or would that just crash the game? I'm thinking that, otherwise, the counter would just loop to location 1.

Another super-interesting and HILARIOUS video! (Almost as funny as you talking about the Crash 2 "seals combo" glitch which had me in HYSTERICS). Please do Crash Bash??? :)

In nitro fueled on hyper speedway the if you get two orbs chasing you and go through the figure 8 section, it's possible to confuse the orbs and make them do another lap

*What language do you speak?* I speak in .

I actually quite like the cup glitch, more laps are always fun lol

My heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw this at the TOP of my KZfaq Feed! Fantastic Work Mikey!!! Mwah :D

This guy gets a 10 for his editing and originality but please work on your script. Just a tip.

Amazing video dude! Love you

I've had this video in my recommended for ages and I'm now wondering why I didn't watch it sooner? Very entertaining video!

Thank you for covering a childhood classic of mine ^_^ and let it be known that I was watching you back when you had about 2000 subs. My how you've grown

Nostalgia overload!! CTR is hands down the best racing game on the PS1!!

Crazy nostalgia, thx for that funny glitches, bro.The bossfights with no bosses Were crazy funny...

I really loved the video, as always

Great video mikey!

Love all youre content!

Love the new intro. Keep up the good work!

I've been waiting for dis.

I loved to play CTR when I was little, happy to see it in Glitch Picnic, thank you!:3

loving your videos

Lol at the rockets. Cool stuff, great video once again.

Your editing is top tier man. Really high quality.

Games are indeed glitchy, but good lord that z axis is finicky. Good stuff dude!

The Rocket-thingy: No, it is useful. I used their tracking very often when playing against my friends. Made them furious when they had the rocket and still couldn't hit me XD

just found your channel. im watching everything just like i do with A+Start. keep up the great work man

Son muchos glitches que no me sabía... Muy bueno el vídeo carnal

Finamable job keep up the awesome work

These videos are awesome and so helpful well done

OH MY GOODNESS THIS GAME WAS THE BOMB! THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES

that lap cup glitch is sick i cant wait to try that

I'm surprised you didn't figure out why the cutscene played after doing the wrong warp glitch, is screwed up. The reason is it's placed where P1's view is. Get it? Since 2 Player battle has two views, the upper view will act as the cutscene display position. Either way, great video, nice to see someone pretty much figured out all glitches :D (except some more minor ones, like for example the "placing an exploding item on the position of a collectable wumpa fruit, causing it to insta-explode. one).

7:14 This happens because only certain level polygons are programmed to update your respawn point. If you finish the lap and then get grabbed without updating it, then Aku spawns you at the last valid point, at the end of the track. Then the game notices you land in a spot where your lap progress is too high (end of lap) when no legit progress is made in the new lap, causing you to be grabbed forever

This game has got some cool glitches, you're explanations help alot too

Awesome episode! :)

A new Glitch Picnic? Of one of my childhood favorites? Today is a good day!

i see the video right know and i noticed that notifications are turned off. now i know why i didn't got messages. But i love Crash Bandicoot! so this is a great video (again 😂) And i don't have homework! How great! Good luck making videos 😉

Remastered intro huh? Cool. Also, love the 60fps. Pd: 5:20 Nice edit dude, really amazing!

i like your jokes, please do it more. im new discovered you do it well bro

Papu-Stripe had me in tears hahaha

I'm actually glad you shared that 7 Lap Cup Race glitch because I did always wish that the cup races were longer. Gonna try this on my NSTC-U Greatest Hits copy later and see if it works. Thanks, dude.

Love your channel.

The language glitch is actually a little bit more intricate: The game actually has rudimentary support for Japanese in the PAL version, because it is used as the base for the NTSC-J version. Pressing Triangle or Square sets the language value to the japanese language, but there are no fonds installed, so you don't see any writing. Compare the japanese title screen of the game to the PAL glitched one, and take note of the positions of the hyphens. They match up. Another proof is that with the glitch activated the CTR tokens are changed to CBR tokens, which stands for Crash Bandicoot Racing, the game's japanese title. As for the head swap, I assume that the stream files for the language also contain the head meshes and animations, and because the japanese scripts are unfinished, they point to wrong values.

it was very interesting to see these glitches, hope it's was not end.

this was very interresting!

3:55 I AM DEAD I CANT BREATHE IM LAUGHING TOO HARD

"You know what enjoy it twice" this must be the best video if it's possible to enjoy twice

I have 2 for you, In the main menu, select adventure, in the load o new game select menu, do the infinite mask cheat and done, use then to complete very easy the story mode, and the second one, use the infinite mask or infinite bombs, and race, when you see a red potion, take it and, if you have luck, the item will change, if the 3 misiles items its got, you have funny and powerful infinite missiles! Sorry if my english its bad xD

Yaay Mikeys back

YES! More glitchiness!

You just earned a new sub :) Really enjoyed the video, ctr was one of my favourite games growing up. I loved the way you explained the 19 win battle arena glitch, and the whole persentation throughout the video was awesome. My only advice/opinion would be that you might want to explore pc games too, from the 90's or 2000's, I know it would most likely be more time time-consuming but I'm pretty sure it would appeal to a larger audience. Who wouldn't want to see old GTAs, Diablo 1-2, Morrowind, Oblivion, AoE 1-2, AoM, War/Starcraft etc. ripped apart? I know I would :D Anyway, keep up the good work! ;)

Great video as always! Have you ever thought about growing your hair long? I swear it used to be long but I'm probably just going mad.

i like how i bought this game over the weekend and now there's a glitch picnic episode.

really cool video, I know of one more glitch as well, if you fire the time warp ball thing in the sewer speedway level while the 1st place player is past the entrance the shortcut, the ball will actually take the shortcut and potentially miss the player and make another lap, I had it happen to me while I was playing before it went around the track like 3 times before it managed to hit

Great video as always mate! some really interesting glitches! Question. Do you use Sony Vegas? your video has some glitches (no pun intended ;) around 6:00) which my video had last week before I had to remove it and reupload! I'll message you on Twitter xD

Thought this was for tag team racing u till I read the title again :( anyway, thanks for the video mikey!!

OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO LATE FOR THIS- I will 100% watch after other stuff I need to do- ;3;

Omg I literally just started playing this game xD

I also did the Red Gem Skip glitch in Crash Bandicoot 2, that's a great, lovely, aced, glitch you found! I can now get 100% without having to collect Snow Go's Red Gem late

All these years playing CTR and I never once backed out of language menu. What an oversight.

Nice glitches to show! I did the Wrong Warp glitch as 2 unlocked characters like Fake Crash and N. Tropy.

Yes, your'e back.

I think I understand why the infinite reset glitch works. I'll do my best to explain it. The game has something that I can only describe as an anti-cheat mechanic. For example, on N. Gin Labs, when you hit the boost pad in the middle of the level (The last boost before the blue boost tunnel), instead of going forward across the jump as you are intended to, if you go to the right and try to skip the course, it resets you because you're not supposed to be that far into the course yet. The game detects that you have not gone far enough to be at that point in the course. Another example of this is on papu's pyramid at the start of the level, when you go over the bridge, if you try to jump to the right to skip the level, it will reset you on the bridge. When you jump off at the end of a lap, the lap counter goes up. However, the game tries to reset you at the same place on the course where you reset. So, if you jump off on lap 1 and the lap counter moves to 2 after you have jumped off, once it resets you, the game detects that you have not gone far enough to be at that point of the track. This causes an infinite loop of resetting you, since the game keeps resetting you where it thinks that you shouldn't be. Hopefully this helps. :)

I know I'm probably a few years late to this, but I think I have a really good explanation for the "infinite rescue glitch". The way I believe the game works is that each track is segmented into parts lets say 10 as an example, and you start off at segment 1 and end at segment 10, now to prevent you from cheating in some maps by jumping between segments the game makes sure that each segment is traveled sequentially so from segment 1 you can go to segment 2 and from 2 to 3 etc, but if you ever go between non sequential segments like 1 to 5 you've must have fallen off the map and should be rescued. now when you cross the finish line while jumping off you manage to reach segment 1 in lap 2, then you get rescued and put from segment 1 lap to to segment 10 lap 2 instead of the logical segment 10 lap 1 which would be allowed and then it will continuously do that because the segments are always mismatched.

0:22 those ducks are really enjoying da picnic, amirite? *LOL*

YES! THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD!

Awesome video! Nitro Kart next I'm guessing?

I think I know how the rescue glitch works... You set your checkpoint in front of the start line, making a mask grab zone. Because you have not completed lap 1 it will spawn you in a mask grab zone, meaning you get stuck in an infinite loop

There was one time as a kid when I tried to get into the Glacier Park section of the Adventure mode by grinding up against the locked door. After much toil and trouble, I slipped behind the door and found all the tracks locked (obvs). It was so weird as a kid, but thinking back it was so cool

Seems the arcade/cup lap count menu glitch is more like a feature, in case anyone wanted to have endurance style cup races like other racing games.

2:07, or a “Langlitch”, if you will.

Looking back at this video,is interesting to see that this "carry-out over modes" glitch also happened in nitro Fueled when switching from onlone to adventure mode, where you could have the help of a second player that would be invisible on your screen.

This video is going to explode in views now because of the remaster

Actually, the missiles were working fine in the Papu's Pyramid one. They weren't locking on because Player 1 was too far away. They tend to chase their targets as the crow flies, but won't even lock on if there's no target within a certain range in front of you.

I’ve had that Aku/Uka glitch happen to me oddly enough on Hot Air Skyway where the big jump is I missed the shortcut then that happened.

The missile not being able to hit you on top of the bridge thing. If someone fires an electricity ball thing at you in first place. If you're playing on sewer speedway and attempt to do the shortcut just before getting hit. If you attempt it but delibrately mess it up. The ball will go into the shortcut and bypass you. So if missiles and the electricity ball work the same. Then that glitch is completely useful.

The mask glitch also happens randomly on pinstripe level if you try to do the shortcut (that that implies to jump to the other half side of the level)

hey mikey! i have a question! could you please do kirby super star ultra for the nintendo ds? i love that game so much! i know youre probbably working with another game but if you could do it in the future i would be very happy! youre videos are amazing! keep it up! ^^

Therapist: Head swaped bosses arent real, they cant hurt you Head swaped bosses:

10:59 this is because the lap selector changes the global lap count (gGT->0x1d33) without needing the user to accept, and the cup menu does not reset it back to 3. It's patched in other versions of the game

Hey didnt watched the Video yet but keep it up love your stuff :3

4:49 the reason, maybe why this doesn't continue is likely down to the fact it's trying to load the character's dialog however since there is no language it doesn't actually load it and gets stuck while attempting to load no existent data

2:58 actually no, it's not "no language", it loads the japanese language by default, but the japanese font is not on the disc, that's why the text is messed up. We decompiled the game and figured out the source code

Do you think the speed run battle mod glitch is gonna be in the ctr remake?

Another glitch in Coco park: if you jump into the pond while finishing the final lap, you will be greeted by a camera that has no idea where you are for a few seconds (and thus follows nothing) and a loud engine sound until your mask puts you back onto the track. not sure if this is a game glitch or a "my copy does this for some reason" glitch
