I love how the thumbnail face went from tired to scared

the bridge levels actually pissed me off so much, gg for getting through it man

19:53 don't watch this closing your eyes

Your series inspired me to also finish my platinum relics, imma be doing only the ones you do everytime you upload, keep ‘em coming 🗣🗣 goated nostalgia series 💯

It's unfortunate that Crash's -model- hitbox wasn't properly designed in this game. In the original Crash 1 you'd have no problem running on the ropes, no constant jumping necessary. Congrats on sticking with it Edit: been corrected, edited for accuracy

Seeing the ropes and turtles again reminds me of when the game came out and the people noticed that the hitboxes where changed to pill shaped collision (that's why you slide off the edge). They called them "shitboxes".

The physics are off because this game was built in the alchemy game engine, Crash has an oval hitbox, so if you're not directly centered, you slide off.

Lewis. The Lab is coming...

Alternative title for this series "Lewis Proves Without a Shadow Of a Doubt that Making N.Sane's Hitboxes Rounded Was a Mistake"

Congrats on High Road! That is already a nasty level in the normal game! I think running on the ropes is intended as an option. I did hear it was easier to land on the ropes in the original PS1 Crash 1 as Crash's hitbox was apparently square which gave you some extra leeway to land on them. In the N. Sane Trilogy, they changed Crash's hitbox to apparently be more rounded which makes it harder to land directly on the ropes without slipping off. I can only imagine how difficult Slippery Climb and The Lab will be for a Platinum.

18:11 Father, when can I leave to be on my own

Thanks for sharing these, Lewis! I can't remember when was the last time I got excited about every notification for a new episode of a series like this.

LMAO his reaction at 24:52 was priceless. Nice job lewis

High road was my personal nightmare, congrats man!

I bet those hogs still haunt Lewis' dreams to this day 🤣

17:42 - to answer your question, yes running on the ropes is an intended game mechanic. Great work learning this level the harder way too. Using the ropes to your advantages works wonders. I guess most of us didn't call this level was because it already is hard xd. Fumbling in the Dark will take you a bit like Heavy Machinery, but it is actually decent to do.

I got Slippery Climbs platinum relic on my second attempt. Honestly it isn't that bad if you're used to doing the coloured gem in the level anyways you're used to doing it without dying.

About to start my own run of the series. Always fun to see you play

Always nice to see polar upload

The issue with the ropes is so severe in the N.Sane Trilogy. The reason for that is that Crash's hitbox is round, which makes him slip off the ropes really easily. This issue didn't exist in the original, as the hitbox was just a cube there.

Best of luck man! getting those relics requires serious focus and precision timing

Nicely done, these videos have inspired me to re-do all these trials and beat my old platinum score. Shame there isn’t any dev times out for them

keep it up til stormy ascent 🔥👍🏼

Lights out is extremely easy you just have to get to the yellow gem path

"I might use the rope" -WumpaLewis during Crash platinum challenge

This give me nostalgia flashbacks.... 🤔 Keep going You're Almost There... you're so close 🏁🏎️ (Good times 🥲)

Yeah Lewis. You sip that tea real HARD! ;3

Oh hell when i was playing the High Road level, i lost all the amount of lives here, until i found out about the standing & running on the rope strategy, that really solved my problems!

I'm sorry but I saw that coming a mile away 23:06😂. Great work! Keep it up!

The thumbnail pictures are great for these.. I agree 😂😂 Ok, no seriously though, I actually really enjoy this Platinum Relic series you are doing for the OG Crash games in N. Sane Trilogy! Keep ‘em coming! ❤ So, I agree, Native Fortress, The Lost City, Heavy Machinery and Generator Room are tough platinums and take many attempts. I actually think Native Fortress might be one of the toughest platinums in the game along with some of the others (not even mentioning Stormy Ascent or The Lab - ahem! Brutal! 🙄😂). The High Road is tough, but I personally think that level is overrated in terms of it’s difficulty. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely not easy, but really, I feel like it’s just a matter of mastering platforming and timing jumps while levels like Generator Room require mastery of not only jumps, but taking very risky shortcuts and precisely performing certain time-saving cycles and stuff (to cut off seconds just to make platinum). It’s more complicated, in my opinion.. whereas with levels like The High Road and Road to Nowhere, you just got the turtles, warthogs, and ropes to really figure out and then it’s just a matter of platforming correctly and you’re golden.. Also, if I remember correctly, I did complete Lights Out and Fumbling in the Dark - both are not too bad with the Platinum Relics.. it’s just about learning the level. Fumbling in the Dark I think was most likely more challenging than Lights Out. I think it’s also longer and has more enemies and tough jumps and obstacles… it wasn’t particularly easy.. it takes a good amount of attempts. And Slippery Climb is just generally a tough level. Don’t think the platinum time was too bad, but it’s tough to get through - though not even close to Stormy Ascent platinum relic and level difficulty. Also, if you completed the box gem for this level, then you are already kind of acquainted and used to getting through the level and experiencing the pain of getting through the level without dying, so it’s not really too bad. Jaws of Darkness and Castle Machinery aren’t too bad (though the time on Jaws of Darkness might be a bit tough.. can’t recall).. The Lab is kind of brutal and painful.. took me many attempts. Good luck is what I’ll say. 😂 The timing of everything is rough, ngl. And Stormy Ascent ⛈ well, is, Stormy Ascent 😂😅. Hehe. It’s evil, but a lot of fun to master. I hope you do Crash 2 and 3 Platinum Relic runs too! These are cool to watch.. and I enjoy watching run-throughs of the levels from other people, while also asking people how hard or easy a specific level is. Anyways, nice job with the platinum relics. These are tough.

This game, as many other Crash Bandicoot games, relies on patience. Take your time and you will save a lot of frustration and TIME in general. Jeez, this is a hard watch.

My favorite stage in Crash history, here we go!

gg on The High Road also, dw, Slippery Climb has an actually pretty lenient time limit, it kinda feels more like an easier Sunset Vista

Man I felt your pain there 😂 This one almost drove me insane... I just couldn't make the rope jumps consistently work. Then I accidently realize that it is actually much easier to just walk on them insted of jumping on and off. You can just walk past almost the entire level on the ropes 🤯

Congratulations on beating The High Road! You're so close to beating Crash 1 but do consider preparing for Crash 2

Keep them coming 💯🤙

I hate The High Road so much that even just watching Lewis go for the platinum relic here was painful, let alone playing it again myself!

The level starts this way to recap your skills from last bridge, so that they know you have that down before they add a complication (turtles)

Nice 2 done and dusted. The High Road is done!

I really cant wait for u to do crash 4, even if its a year from now i’ll love to watch that i love that game

Oh yeah back at it

Just finished Crash 2 and to be honest, it was more frustrating to platinum than Crash 1

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR HIM TO GET TO STORMY ASCENT🤣😈

William P designed this level

You can use the ropes of the bridges but to stick the landing on the ropes are very precise, far more punishing than the original levels. You need very good depth precision to balance yourself on those ropes consistently. It's very hard but it is possible. I usually just try and do this level normally. It saves a ton of time when you need to junp twice on the turtles.

Good job doing Toxic Waste in one go Lewis.............

I know the feeling 😊

I love how the longer this series goes on, the more unhinged Lewis noises we hear. XD I don't think the rope mechanic is intended. I personally found it too unreliable. I was also surprised to see few people mention this one being demonic. Some won't call this hard, but say Sunset Vista. Like, that level has one of the most generous times in the game... Its NOT hard... I've even seen some people say they found fumbling in the dumbling to be hard. Like, WHAT?! XD Anyway, congrats on getting this one done! Should be plain sailing from here until the lab. :p

🔥

For me, and this is a trend across all VV crash games with relics, unless you suffer you're not getting a platinum relic. VV and time trails never mixed well.

Me with 0:48:14 on Toxic Waste: 👌. But yeah, congrats 💪

Will you be attempting the Stormy Ascent platinum relic aswell? Enjoying the series anyway 👍

I think it took me 105 tries to get the relic in The High Road. I remember tallying how many attempts I took back then.

Fumbling in the dark is hard due to the Aku light mechanic which is so frustrating Still no platinum relic matches The Lab

Nice one Lewis! You gave the inspiration to continue with my platinums, so we’re working hard!Slippery Climb isn’t that hard, I did it in 8 attempts due the spinning platforms. To this day I cannot get The High Road 😢

Ngl this is making me want to do this but i don't want to lose my sanity

Before doing a level “Mum if you hear screams of agony and suffering it’s ok, I’m playing Crash”

Crash' original hitbox was better for rope walking. The one from the classic version. He could also walk over one plank holes.

People always say "just walk on the ropes", but it's really not easy at all.

I found that the bridge levels in comparison to the PS1 games were flawed because of the momentum physics. When you're using the turtles to bounce and jump it seems like you can jump a gap from a standstill in ps1, but in n sane you gotta take a run up to build speed up first otherwise you can't make it over the bigger gaps.

You should try Psilosybil someday. It's a really great Crash-based game.

Lewis can i ask what do you use to record you game footage with? I really like your content and i wish to start my own channel similar to yours!

The high road gives me ptsd. The amount of attempts I did just to get gold was unhealthy. It was my only level to plat the game for months

Make the jump is a great plan

0:34 Bouncing crates? Don’t think they were introduced until crash 2. Ohhh, you been bouncing BARRELS

High road is pretty easy All you really need to do is jump on the ropes and jump back into the levels when passing the turtles or avoiding the warthogs Last part is really easy you just jump and bounce on turtles who are already flipped over. Only the first part is pretty challenging

He looks so depressed in all of the Platinum Relic thumbnails.

Will you do crash 4 in this series?

8:34 lmao

I was going for gold relic to get platinum trophy and after like 150 tries i finally made it to the end and got insta platinum relic😂 Had to clip it and post it

“Yeah see, this is what I don’t like about this level…the level itself.” Besides that it goods though, right?

It’s possible to get the platinum by using without using the ropes

Aren’t they tortoises if they on land?
