Crash Bandicoot NST Any% Speedrun Former World Record in
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- After 4202 attempts, & 1597 hours on this game on Steam, I did it. I am relatively satisfied with this run, sorry about the pop-off lol. I would definitely like a 40:3X or perhaps even better eventually though. If you have any questions about the run, want my splits, or whatever, feel free to leave a comment or contact me.
I'd like to thank the Crash HD Speedrunning community for making this accomplishment not only possible, but enjoyable to attain along the way. The surface, the run you see, it doesn't even come remotely close to showing just how much of a community effort it really took to push this game down - I can thank Diggety Dave for finding the Diggety Dive on Generator Room. WingKn0x for discovering how floaty jumps work & opening up new possibilities such as some of the tricks performed in the creek levels in this run. Tavin for discovering the first known method of making the Sunset Vista hyperjump consistent. Batake & Serenade Yuuki for discovering the stair hyperjump in Slippery Climb, then Silver106 for discovering that you can phase with this hyperjump. CameronVengenz for discovering the Koala Kong glitch, then Boolarbear for making 3 damage Koala Kong consistent & helping us understand what causes 1 damage a whole lot better in order to avoid it. AustinOblivion for discovering fast Brio strats, then Raymandicoot1 for discovering a visual cue to make said strats easily consistent. All of this, among many, many countless other contributions, such as minor timesaves, discoveries, or competition to push the game along the way has helped this speedrun come to fruition. This run - as is every run - is a culmination of a tremendous community effort, & for that I am forever grateful to anyone & everyone who has been a part of this community, thank you.

This was a part of my "40 Grind" on my Twitch channel, the grind took 80 days of doing any% speedruns in order to obtain the sub:41. You can follow my Twitch at / casuallyclutching , where I will continue to speedrun Crash NST, perhaps among other games in the future.
I also tweet sometimes at / casualyclutchin .

FAQ:
Q. Why do you get the green gem in The Lost City?
A. This unlocks a major shortcut in Castle Machinery which essentially allows you to skip the level, so it becomes worth it to spend the time of going for the green gem early in order to make up for it with this shortcut later.
Q. What was that in Koala Kong?
A. The Koala Kong skip is a trick that can save up to approximately 30 seconds (timesave varies due to RNG). It is done in 30FPS by jumping into the large boulder when Koala Kong throws it, then going backwards immediately upon Koala Kong damaging you. Somehow this causes a phase to get past the invisible wall that separates Crash from Koala Kong, Crash can then, for some reason, increase the amount of damage he does to Kong by spinning him directly instead of spinning the boulder back at him. Here is an exemplar for the three damage backup: • koala 3 damage
Q. Why did you go flying in Slippery Climb & Sunset Vista?
A. A hyperjump is a glitch commonly performed in C1 NST speedrunning by either (a) bouncing into a small gap from a box to a pullboard or rotating platform while the pullboard/platform is in some way in motion whilst mashing/holding the jump button or by (b) Bouncing/jumping into an unmovable damage hitbox & mashing/holding the jump button ~ at least, that's how we're pretty sure it works.
Q. What is a floaty?
A. A floaty jump is a jump where Crash is in the air for longer than normal. Crash has floaties upon loading into a level, & they are removed as soon as Crash spins in the air, once Crash spins in the air, the only way to get floaties back is by exiting then re-entering a level (yes, this mechanic is precisely as odd & stupid as it sounds). In this run, floaties are carefully kept in the levels Upstream, Up The Creek, & Jaws of Darkness. There are tricks in the first two levels mentioned that are borderline impossible without floaties, but in Jaws of Darkness I keep floaties out of personal preference. Here is a comparison between floaties, & non-floaties jumps: media.discorda...
Q. What is Nokia Skip?
A. The greatest skip in the game. It saves 2 seconds by making an earlier pullboard cycle if performed correctly. In this run, Nokia Skip was performed at 15:34

Didn't give this person a shout-out smh. ua-cam.com/video/LCeqiHqMdWs/v-deo.html
Seriously though, huge GG and really kind of you to put your appreciation for the community's help into the description. Legend.
I intended to go ALL out with stuff like this but I reached the character limit 😓, cheers bro I appreciate you
46:03 comedic timing on that cortex falling is brilliant
I never noticed that LMAO
This man beat the whole game in the time it took me to almost beat Slippery Climb. Absolutely insane.
what an insane milestone to achieve! massive congrats bro!
Thanks Jamie :)
this is was one of the best crash speedrun videos i ever seen great job
Naughty Dog: how many lifepoints would you like?
Casually Clutching: Yes.
As a casual player who beat this game today, I am already impressed 10s in.
Just wait until you hit 11s 😎
@@CasuallyClutchingjust hit 11s, I might have to resign my gaming license
Absolutely insane!! Congratulations, man. You are a legend! 🔥
Well played and best deserved achievement! Time for a well earned rest, enjoy it! :)
You are the absolute GOAT of Crash!! That was next level 🙌🏽🔥
As a guy who completed all platinum time relics in this game and died so many times attempting it, I’m even more impressed at this point. What an amazing display of skills ! !
Massive GGs man!
This game is unreasonably difficult for casual play lol. Makes this record all the more impressive
Yea to pass all 3 games 100% is hard, I need plat relics, my relics are mostly gold but with this video its maybe possible imprrsive man, thanks for the video gonna help alot
forever immortalized Congratz Brother
Was real cool to see this game get speed ran with the new graphics very cool nice work ❤
Was so excited to see the high road and then I see the method. Never even knew about jumping on the rope.
YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A sub 41 speedrun! Congratulations on this fine milestone. :)
"LETS FUCKING GO"
Dumbledore said, calmly
Man each one of these levels took me at least 15minutes and you beat half the game just in 10 minutes LOL
Love the game play BTW
Congratulations! What a grind, well deserved
congrats mate, I almost rage quitted on the first bridge level
N`Sane Speedrun! Godspeed
The man is insane
ok, jeez calm down, nice record btw :)
I discovered a trick to help me fall asleep and its putting speedrun as background noise in a fully dark room.
I'm hyped for you but mf you woke me up dawg
Grats!
Huge fan!
HELLFIRE!
How do I find the soundtrack??
I've been playing CNST since release on PS4 but always put it down due to frustration. Never beat the stages before Koala Kong until yesterday.
I've always enjoyed how crash speedruns basically are extended relic runs where you have to opportunity cost every box got in stage vs. at the end. Can that be optimised further or is it basically solved at this point?
Anyway long story short I'm stuck on High Road and I'm pissed off how easily you managed to toe the line on the rope. I can't even get to the first checkpoint and it's insulting the game keeps giving me Plank hit points when I need the fairies to save me from Spyro early stages 😅
It's basically solved at this point, but there are some boxes that are riskier than others due to cycles. E.g; you can get the box at the start of Sunset and still catch God Cycle, at 35:39 you can get those two boxes in Slippery and still catch the cycle but it's very hard, etc
What was that Sunset Vista? Crash was like: "I must go now my planet needs me", also how do you do the KK jump?, also greetings from the former Devil May Cry 5 multiple former WR holder, this is a great run by the way, it's great to know you improved your time later too :)
FAQ in description
The names on the left are actually names of the levels and I just realized that
@@rustambandicoot7933 Most of them were replaced to meme names thanks to my chat lol. Yeah it's how we recognize our pace
bout to watch this, found it lucky / randomly
Man wtf is this, you are 🤯
What is this soundtrack called?
Like the game music? Just the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy OST, I guess
GGS
what the.............., god level gameplay..............
You owe me a fright son of your mother
amazing
Based off my calculations, what I see in the spreadsheet, and other runners sums of best, it looks like 3x is the upper limit for this category, at least for now. What would you say about that?
If he had the run of his life including really good Koala RNG he could definitely 2x, but 3x is the more reasonable upper limit for sure.
What's happening around 36:12? -.-
Explanation in description
Goated tbh
gg wp. what is that upstream split name tho lololol
My chat changes my splits LOL
I was here! GG!
this is not crash bandicoot
this is jumping bandicoot😂
i hate the fact that i missed this because of a fucking party
@@toiletpaper8963 I bet you don't even remember it too smh my head
Do you think a 39:59 or lower is impossible?
Yep
Nope
This guy bandicoots
Really pro player
If it’s any % why you get the green gem in the lost city?
Just read the description 😂
Yo creo que si rompiera mas cajas la animación seria mas corta y ahorra mas tiempo, no ?
A box at the end of a level takes 10 frames to fall on Crash's head, so if a box takes you less than 10 frames out of your way during a level, it's worth it to get the box
23:58 what the fuck just happend?
@@HazeBaze FAQ in desc
His cheats glitched
Wait on the lost city how did he get the green gem without getting all the boxes??
@@bigchef4414 I did get all the boxes
@@CasuallyClutching nvm I’m bugging
Why do you smash all those boxes? That makes ending animation just longer, right?
@@gustavson1985 No it makes it shorter
@@CasuallyClutching Can you explain why, please?
@@gustavson1985 If you collect a box the amount of boxes you miss is reduced and thus the amount of boxes that fall on Crash's head is lessened
Skipbabadada
At least get it right
If this is any %, then why does he goes almost for every box that are not even in the way? Also waiting for mask level 2 that he doesnt even need
You get every box you reasonably can because it shorterns the box cutscene at the end of every level.
You wait for the mask on level 2 because the triple mask form you get from it is faster than just skipping it. :)
Don't you see all the missed boxes fall on him at the end? The more he breakes the less he waits at the end
Honestly not my favourite part ( I was playing original versions on PS1) i still prefer second part. Great run thought!
24:00 it's hacker
Please don't expose me like this. My wife will leave me.
So what’s with all the jumping?
A bit faster
@@CasuallyClutching that’s interesting, how much faster would you say on the first level compared to just casually running?
@@NateMakesMusic I think it comes out to about a frame for every second on flat surfaces, but on hills it's more
Chur
kya
Dude.. was it worth the time?
I'm gonna say yes, but it definitely had no business taking nearly as long as it did
imagine playing this on a ps5 controller
Huh
You playing trilogy
Trilogy is so easy from orginal
Kid can do your speed run
If it's that easy then go and get yourself a free world record!
@@CasuallyClutching i wanna play with close eyes some stage
But i dont know how record my game
My ps1 cant record game
