holy shit i never thought i’d see the day all levels were ranked

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1070">17:50</a> When I was young, I found it by sheer accident. Fast forward 18 years later and I still remembered how to get that level and I went there as soon as I could

"coco is a better waifu than Tawna" *OPEN UP, FBI!*

Bit harsh on the levels in general, I'd argue the difficulty of different paths in crash 2 helps to make the game so memorable.

Very interesting, I've never been bothered about Air Crash so was surprised to see it at #1.

I've always liked the puns and references used in Crash Bandicoot level names, especially in Crash 2. N.Sanity Beach - Insanity Beach Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones (group) Road to Nowhere - Road to Nowhere (Talking Heads song) Whole Hog - The Whole Hog Snow Go - No Go Hang Eight - Hang 10 Snow Biz - Show Biz The Eel Deal - The Real Deal Sewer or Later - Sooner or Later Cold Hard Crash - Cold Hard Cash Beehaving - Behaving Piston it Away - Pissing it Away (kinda surprised they got away with this!) Rock It - Rocket Pack Attack - Pac Attack Totally Bear - Totally Bare Under Pressure - Under Pressure (David Bowie song) Dino Mite - Dynamite Tomb Wader - Tomb Raider Future Tense - Obviously a reference to Past Tense and Present Tense Hot Coco - Hot Coca There may be a few more, but they're the obvious ones!

Appreciate the level of effort in these lists. Good stuff man

You sound so professional for havina so few subscribers. You definitely deserve way more. Great video.

I love the simplicity and challenge of the first game but I love the diversity of animal levels in the 2nd & 3rd. Great list!

you deserve so many more subs man! great video

Excellent video! While concise, this has some of the most pointed commentary on individual levels, and what specifically makes some levels a fun challenge vs. what makes others unfair, that I've yet found. There are some I'd have higher or lower but you defended a lot of the placements quite well. Air Crash isn't the #1 I'd have expected, yet the instant it came up I was like "...huh. That's fair, actually"; the board you ride on in those levels DOES control a lot better than some of the Warped vehicles. Subscribed

Vicarious Visions made the Gameboy Advance Crash Bandicoot games.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1015">16:55</a> There is some sort of a clue about that secret. There are two checkpoints that are basically next to each other which makes no sense, so you might conclude there has to be something more between them.

The lost city's coloured gem gives me fuckin anger issues

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="179">2:59</a> Oh, how naive we were

The best is Gee Wiz, because of the Nitro frog =)

I CAN SPIN AWAY THE ORBS

“A hard level dosent mean a bad level” Proceeds to put the high road as the worst level in the trilogy 😂

Don't mind the list at all but all the motor bike levels and sjet ski levels would be at the bottom and Jaws of darkness/castle machinery would be top 10 for me.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1180">19:40</a> Jamie: I hope this isn’t the last of Vicarious Visions Crash Bandicoot Vicarious Visions in June 2020: Nope! Hey Toys For Bob, can you take over?

86 levels 6 bosses in Crash 1 5 in Crash 2 5 in crash 3 102 levels

Am I the only person who had to beat jaws of darkness 3 times because of that box above the cameras view? I even checked above the box next to it but not the metal ones

At first when I saw #86 I was gonna go off but for once someone actually played the OG version and agrees it wasn't that bad on the OG and the reason why it's so bad is not the OG creators fault but rather the remake teams fault.

So he didn't like levels because you actually had to put effort into them?

Great video! It would be awesome if you did top 85 hardest platinum relics!

Yes! In the original game the skybridge levels like High Roads were some of my favorites despite how difficult it was first playthrough. In the N.Sane trilogy these levels are straight up rage inducing and feel janky as hell with the hit boxes and physics. It doesn't help that my brain is still trying to get used to how different Crash's jump feel compared to the ps1 games.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> got that reference :D

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="439">7:19</a> that’s the reason why this level called “under pressure” cause it’s a queen song

I totally agree with Air Crash being the best level in the original Trilogy, not just only for being a Jetboard level, but the stuff you have to do to achieve the gems of the level, man they are both a good challenge and pretty fun.

82: Deep Trouble 81: Under Pressure 80: Hot Coco 79: Night Fight 78: Totally Fly 77: The Lab 76: Totally Bear 75: Making Waves 74: Flaming Passion 73: Hang Em High 72: Flaming Passion 71: Tell No Tales 70: Hog Rider 69: High Time 68: Midnight Ride 67: Orient Express 66: Orange Asphalt 65: Up the Creek 64: Upstream 63: N Sanity Beach 62: Whole Hog 61: Hog Wild 60: Road Crash 59: Toad Village 58: Double Header 57: Gee Wiz 56: Future Frenzy 55: Rings of Power 54: Bone Yard 53: Gone Tomorrow 52: Bug Lite 51: Area 51 50: Dino Might! 49: Sphynxinator 48: Bye-Bye Blimps 47: Hang Eight 46: Air Crash 45: Plant Food 44: Bear It 43: Bee-Having 42: Boulders 41: Crash Dash 40: Crash Crush 39: Snow Go 38: The Great Gate 37: Native Fortress 36: Road to Nowhere 35: Diggin It 34: The Pits 33: Mad Bombers 32: Tomb Time 31: The Great Hall 30: Jungle Rollers 29: Rolling Stones 28: Boulder Dash 27: Temple Ruins 26: Jaws of Darkness 25: Cortex Power 24: Castle Machinery 23: Cold Hard Crash 22: Turtle Woods 21: Tomb Waider 20: Heavy Machinery 19: Sunset Vista 18: Generator Room 17: Fumbling in the Dark 16: UnBearable 15: Pack Attack 14: Bear Down 13: The High Road 12: Ruination 11: The Eel Deal 10: Lights Out 9: Toxic Waste 8: Piston It Away 7: The Lost City 6: Hangin' Out 5: Road to Ruin 4: Slippery Climb 3: Rock It 2: Spaced Out 1: Sewers or Later

Agree with this list more than another where they put the snow levels in Crash 2 at no.1 😆 My favourites are Stormy Ascent/Slippery Climb, the hog levels, the Egyptian levels and Lights Out/Fumbling in the Dark 🤘🏻

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a> crash memes his gems and relics

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1017">16:57</a> I thought the three planks left would give enough distance for me to jump over the abyss.

"Coco is a better waifu than Tawna" *Hol Up--*

The racing levels in Crash 3 is the equivalent of having to play chess in a shooter game.

"A few stinky levels" So... all of Coco's levels from Crash 3?

I never played the first Crash Bandicoot on PSone, until this trilogy remake. Damn that first game is brutal. They could have given Crash these powerups in all three games of the original trilogy. In order to get the gems you have to get all boxes with no deaths. Road to Nowhere, and The Highroad are already difficult enough.

This is such a great ranking. (rightly) putting air crash at number 1 against the odds is a masterstroke and shows how well thought through this list is. Great to see some classic crash 1 levels in the top ten too. I salute you sir.

Somehow I knew tomb wader would be at least top 10

funny because there's another youtuber who ranked cold hard crash on the 1st postion among all crash bandicoot levels of all games :V

All you have to do is literally hold forward from the start of your jump to gain momentum when jumping on the turtles in high road that’s literally it and yet everyone thinks it’s broken and unplayable if you’re one of the people who quit the game because you couldn’t beat it then this series wasn’t for you in the first place.

Actually... Night fight is not that bad. There are only TWO crates to backtrack, in the death route, both at the VERY end of it. So if you want to get the crates gem, all you have to do is completing the standard path, and then take the two crates going backward in the death route path. The end. It's not that hard.

I highly disagree with #86 I never played the OG one so I have no idea if it was better or worse but the remake High Road is a fantastic level and top 10 in my opinion.

I think they added the bosses to the levels so it made 100+ levels. Good list overall.

In the high road level even is hard to get on the ropes of the bridge

I struggled more on that road to nowhere rather than the high road

Great video m8. This video made you deserve my subscription to you!

On the high road you can just stand on half of the ropes

I'm stuck on the high road, and I didn't realize the jump physics with the turtles were any different than in its pre-make for PS1. wtf!?!

my least favorite has to be either Lost city, Cold hard crash or Diggin' it

(spoilers) 86: High Road Me who used the ropes in that level: "I mean, I guess."

Hang em High is one of my favorite. Would never place this on #52

That dank ass meme at the begining lmfao wowowowowo

thank you for palying all games 4 times at least. ive done it myself and i aggree with your opinion. And ps personal fav sunset vista thanks for a amazing video by the way.

I can't believe Activision had the nerve to count The Great Hall as a level. What fun.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="705">11:45</a> I’m also ashamed at myself for not even trying this in my hour of attempting to 100% this level. You can spin the damn orbs.

Awesome list dude! My top 10: Whole Hog, 9: Road to Ruin, 8: Cold Hard Crash, 7: Gone Tomorrow, 6: Tomb Time, 5: Totally Bear, 4: Sunset Vista, 3: Gee Wiz, 2: Slippery Climb, 1: Future Tense. 😁

High road 😵 took me a good hour to get past then realised you can use the ropes 😁😂

I already knew that in bee-having secret nitro boxes crates get the purple gem die and you still have it. Same thing happens in the original crash bandicoot 2.

Omg my most hated is 1st 😂😂😂. Time trial was insanely hard considering poor controls and those nitro boxes where you park jet ski. Even hated it more than high road.

I have the platinum trophy in crash 2 and 3. The only reason I never finished crash 1 is because of high road.

physics really make NST not be as good as it could

I'm kinda surprised how far I got in the stormy ascent level,but I think I had 99 lives going into it so,I failed 99 times XD not bad for my first try though but I was pretty stuck,even with max lives I gave up on the high road level with that stupid bridge,I walked on the ropes XD I really hate those racing levels,it took me what? a few weeks or so to get unstuck? I can't remember now,but I will forever hate those motorcycle levels (I love crash's jacket and shades though XD) it took me 3 hours to get to the level of naitive fortress,I guess it's cause I didn't understand the jumping at that time with the boxes or whatever,and I had to beg crash to make it up there XD

Jamie: the difficulty of the level won't determine if it's good or bad Also Jamie: ThE hiGH rOad is bAd bEcaUse it'S tO hARd

I think crash 1 is the best because the gems aren't confusing

The High Road is below the water jet levels? Now I've seen everything.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="529">8:49</a> WHAT THE FUCK How did I never realize you could just jump on that box? I always did a slide jump

My Top 5 is ( 5- Cold hard crash ) ( 4- hangin out ) ( -3 Ruination) ( -2 Diggin it ) ( 1- bee having ) if you didn’t notice they are all from same warp room it’s the best levels of the n sane trilogy in my opinion / my top 3 to this game is ( -3 crash warped ) ( -2 crash bandicoot 1 ) ( -1 crash bandicoot 2 cortex strikes back ) I don’t know why there is a line but just act like it’s nothing

Road Crash deserved to be at the very bottom

this list is a complete 50/50 for me. there are some i agree, and others i heavily disagree.

Awesome list for this fantastic PS1 platformer series!! Ever thought of compiling a Worst-to-Best list of robot-master (initial) stages from the classic console MM games - not the Wily castle/misc castle stages?? What about for the Reploid/Irregular stages in the X series!?

You can spin away the shrink orbs in piston it away? I feel enlightened. I never knew that and I've 100% the og trilogy and N Sane.

Where’s The Lost City? Did i blatantly miss it?

The only one I disagree with heavily is Fumbling In the Dark, fuck that level, I’ll take High Road over it anyday

as someone who just finished the n. sane trilogy, bee-having should be way lower. it was infuriating because it doesn't seem like there's any consistent way to avoid being hit by the bees in sections where you can't dig. road to nowhere and the lab sucked too. what horrible difficulty spikes. in general, I had way more problems with the depth perception than you did.

Me: There's no way air crash is #1 (aka the bane of my childhood) I must've missed it, there's no way "Air crash music starts playing" Me: Son a bit-

High Road was a great level

Stages with deathroutes that skipped the stage crystal required that you just through a life away to go back to the last checkpoint you came from. Dying doesn't mean you lose the gem or the crystal, if you collected them from the level, you have them. You just need to complete the level to clear collecting them.

I just checked the high road

You have eel deal/sewer or later/ hanging out music

Wild hog that level made me mad

I know it's your opinion and I respect that. I just find it weird that someone thinks a level being hard Is a bad thing lol. The chalenging parts of a game will give you all the fun.

Why do a lot of people think 'The High Road' and 'Road To Nowhere' are so hard? Don't get me wrong the first time you play them you might lose 30-50 lives but that's nothing to quit the game over. I came back to the N. Sane trilogy after a couple months break and I beat 'Road To Nowhere' losing 2 lives and 'The High Road' losing 4. You don't need to be perfect with the turtle placements or your jumps either just I guess 'good enough' Do most people suck that bad or am I just good? Not to brag but lol. I'm genuinely curious.

I'll never understand why the jet pack levels are so hated, including the final boss of Crash 2. I have never had an issue with the controls, level design or the unique boss method.

#43 You can do what now?

Good review!

Unbearable will always be #1 to me, surprised to see it be so low.

I had a lot more trouble with road to nowhere instead of the high road

If you give up because of the high road, you got no will power

In my opinion 1. Is hog wild

Bruh you must some lol

The high road is not that hard

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="790">13:10</a> ... uuuuuuuuuh-

If I should make this list I would start with putting all the Motorbike levels in the most bad list after them ill continue with the flying machine levels after that I can start forming a list.... I think thats the reason why I like Crash 2 more then Crash 3. I mean I agree with you in Crash 3 have some of the best designs in Crash N.Sane. but it also have some of the worst in my opinion. where there isn't really a Crash 2 theme I hate.

My top 7 7: Midnight run 6: the eel deal 5: toxic waste 4: orange asphalt 3: piston it away and spaced out 2: totally bear 1: unbearable

Why did you start with the hardest level?

Lets also remind that the experience with the levels can change a lot depending on the version that you are playing. For the best experience I sugest the Nsane trilogy version for Crash 1 and the original ps1 versions for Crash 2 and 3. NST improved a lot Crash aside from the bridge levels, Toxic Waste and Sunset vista were some of the most frustrating levels ever in the original game because you can't predict at all the bouncing barrels in the original and you had to redo a freaking 20 minutes long stage every time you died in Sunset Vista. The high road and Road to nowhere is actually pretty manageable if you learn to keep momentum before each turtle jump, all you need to do is run a bit until you reach full speed before jumping on them. But NST actually made Crash 2 and 3 worse for me, for first most of Crash 2 levels werent made at all for running around in time trials(sewer and space station levels for example), the Icy physics were much better in the original and with that the snow elevels were much more fun, I freaking hate the Jetski and Pura phisics in NST, Ski Crazed and Hot Coco became my least favorite levels in the NST version of the games(yep more than the high road) they were perfect in the original game, the motorcicle stages are fine but the controls are just as bad in the original so...

The back of the box says over 100 levels...
