I appreciate you so much! The perfect way into the Crash speedrunning community for me. I just can't explain how much I love the respect everyone has for each other in these communities, I just talked about this with my mom of all people, haha. Bless you for doing such an amazing job - for free, I assume. Really loved this video. Hugs from Switzerland! o7
Man i remember fountain skip. I think it was no joke one of the hardest skips that was "technically viable" on the PS2. The people who played Twinsanity, Pull, Qjere, Redhot etc. were some of the most skilled speedrunners out there and for it to stump even them goes to show how absolutely insane the skip was. I also remember when Dimension skip was discovered and the rush to lower the record with the new route. It was an exciting time to be watching the game. Great job on the video Riko you did the game justice. This is just one of those games that needs a speedrun history video, not just because its "someones speedgame of choice and i like it" but because it is a marvel in glitch hunting and sequence breaking as a whole. The slightly rushed nature of the games development left speedrunners with a canvas that was meant to be broken. It's beautiful
@@alkatraztsubasaAgreed. They absolutely nailed the design. And most of the jokes too. This was peak Nina too. She was evil and smart like Cortex (Leaving a dummy in her bed to sneak out of school, destroying the school in rooftop rampage). but non-verbal, reckless and naive like Crash (she seems way too excited in the rockslide rumble art, and during the final boss. Does she even realize she's in danger?) Overall, Nina feels like a child who's growing up to be more like her dipshit 'uncle' than her Dad despite never actually meeting that uncle until now. It's kinda adorable.
@@SuperSillyKitten TBH Cortex was just delivering "Voice of God" throught all the game, most of his dialogue is compressed and several times it is definitely the Devs mocking whatever is going on because there was no time to adjust anything too much. The 4th wall breaks are definitely just them complaining about the worst parts about behind-the-scenes work. Like WoC not selling that well or the deadline ruining all of the plans about content that they definitely could have added with a year and a half or two more.
The nut skip era was so hype and then it just got even better. Gotta love how everyone around the world contributed to this. Great great memories, truly the best community 🙏
I'm not gonna lie, I burst out laughing at the revelation at 44:04, all this trick, precise stuff that ends up being non-viable RTA. And the solution? Just... Turn around.
One of the funniest parts of speedrunning is that everyone gets so used to every solution being super complicated that they overlook something so comically simple.
I remember my grandmother bought me a three pack of Crash Bandicoot games for me that included this game, Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Tag Team Racing. I have a lot of memories playing those games and I loved playing them. I was only a casual player of this game and never realized how broken this game was.
Great video my dude! You honored the Twinsanity community so well. So happy to be apart of it! I remember when I first joined the community in back in 2013. Twinsanity never ends!
43:55 The fact that the solution was as simple as "walk out of the area and walk back in" and it took 2 months after Dimension Skip was discovered for anyone to think of trying it, truly beautiful
the penny theme from SV starting at 46:00 or so jumpscared the hell out of me, wasn't expecting modern pokemon music in a crash speedrunning video lmao. banger track tho, and banger video too!
Crash Twinsanity is one of my favorite ps2 games when I was a kid. Early 2018 to late 2020 I was super into it when I came back to play it and discovered this whole community of people that loved breaking the game and discovering awesome tricks and skips that I thought were incredible. I used a lot of these skips when I played casually with my friend back in the day and he was fascinated by it all, I loved practicing the skips even though I wasn’t a speed runner, I just had a deep fondness for Twinsanity, and always wondered what the world record for the game really was. After seeing this video, it blew my mind seeing all the improvements after acorn skip, I never thought that the game’s skips would be improved further. I always wished the game developers had more time to do what they envisioned with the game, but seeing where we are now with the game, I couldn’t be happier. Maybe someday the run will reach under 10 minutes, who knows. Amazing video, 10 outta 10.
So much history, and not only was I around to see most of it, I contributed. Still can't believe it to this day. Here's to hoping either something new and big pops up, or we see something no one's gonna believe in the near future
After watching this video, I can safely say that I have qualified for a degree in Twinsics, cuz holy crap the history behind this game's speedrunning material is spinelessly insane. Well done on the coverage, Riko. You're amazing.
Hey Riko I just thought you should know this user has been engaging in doxxing and cyberbullying of a few speedrunners including the world record holder for battle for bikini bottom for a number of years. As well as some questionable comments relating to some very serious subjects. I reccomend deleting or unhearting this comment and banning Ideac from engaging with your content.
I have been eagerly watching Twinsanity speedruns on and off for years now but I was extremely hooked last year in particular. Seeing you and Gpro dash for the first cursed warp 100% record was truly a thrilling thing to experience and that was just the beginning when it came to Twins developments last year. Speedruns for this game are weirdly enthralling to watch and I look forward to watching this video.
I SOMEHOW did it as a kid but that didn't matter in the end since I couldn't finish the last ball puzzle in Ant Agony Don't know what's worse, getting stuck halfway across the game or stuck in the very last level
@@elfrangofrito I always stuck ON the final boss with Nina's grappling hook section cause i always held a direction. Simply don't hold a direction and it's really easy. But Rooftop Rampage doesn't have this issue so it's a little misleading.
Learning about the early history of the run was fascinating!!! So much about routes I didn't even know about due to how far back they were used. Awesome video, I'm honestly very humbled by the remix being used in such a cool and relevant part of the timeline, and I enjoyed the watch through and through. Good stuff Riko :D!!
So true, this is one of the rare games I always come back to to see the speedrun progress even after so many years. Used to laugh the any% run, still do, but the 100% run shows so much sick tech too. Will watch the vid soon, only early in but seems good!
Had this linked to me by a friend because CTS was one of my favorite entries in the series and I still own my physical copy of it from well over 15ish years ago. It was such an absolute banger. Great video and awesome showcases! Also really enjoyed the background music choices, will be reading the pastebin for that one. Thanks for reminding me of this awesome and fun game. I really wish for it to get a truely deserving remake - it is just such an absolute vibe. ^.^
Even as a kid I always knew how absolutely easy it was to sequence break this game, and I’ve been wanting a video breaking the whole history down of all the ways speedrunners would break it even further than I ever could for years. This was such a delight to watch, thank you so much!
Sometimes I wish I had discovered speedruns sooner and your video is definitely one of these times Riko. Awesome video man, so much information and cool techs showcased that got me hyped for the 100% history in the future. But now I gotta watch the other history videos about Crash AND the vods of the runs of Twinsanity, but first gotta thank all of you for the contents to watch about a game I played casually in the past and didn't know it was so good to see it break that much 😁
UA-cam recommended this and it was an instant click for me. So well made speedrun history video and from a game I grew up with! Love watching speedruns although never have time to try them myself and well made long format history videos are such a treat!
It's an awesome pleasure to see what the community managed to achieve in over 10 years. An unforgettable game for anyone who witnessed and experienced its progression.
older video game coding and data processing logic is why i love speedruns , i cant explain it but im not into newer game runs like how i am with runs like these . the complexity and weird reactions the game gives you based on the players inputs , the hypotheticals with TAS runs . its all so interesting seeing it happen in real time .
Very good video, the craziest day ever segment was absolutely insane and what happened over the past year alone was cool to witness live. Still waiting for the day someone finds an Ant Agony warp. Maybe someday. Also, can’t wait for the 100% video.
Fantastic video man, I'm so happy that this was the game I chose to seriously run back in the later half of 2020(even if it meant I had my... ups and downs with All Levels). Can't wait for whatever happens next with the game and for your next video 🌰
Seeing any video covering Twinsanity's speedrunning is a dream come true, let alone one as extensive as this. WITH Croc 2 music as just the cherry on top. Legit feels like a video tailor-made for me, through sheer chance. Love it.
If any game can be broken into pieces and finished in less time than it takes to prepare and cook dinner it's Crash Twinsanity. Glitches are a speedrunner's best friend.
Twinsanity runs were part of the reason why I wanted to find glitches myself. The way the speedrunners broke this game was shocking. To find out there was new tech that made 10:xx possible is crazy. Great Video. P.S. SmartKin is also a pretty well known figure in the “I wanna” fangame community with games like I wanna Come to the Conclusion that uses Crash music in certain sections.
I love the range of the glitches: One is by breaking thru walls to load into a different dimension... And the following glitch is to walk out of a door and then walk back in. One is flying on an invisible hoverboard.... and another is moving a nut around the start of the game
I remember hating the crap out of this game because it lets you sequence break backwards. One time i thought i found a shortcut, but it was just a one way ticket to LITERALLY CP0 myself
Twinsanity speedrun has been on my mind for a while now, just because I've been in the mood to watch speedrun history videos for old PS2 era games or challenge videos for games like RE. Man did this video come out at such a good time for me haha. Great video and can't wait for the 100% one.
My childhood game. I was never into speedrunning, no one was in those days. but i just liked to go out of bounds and find skips on levels on my own :D this game allowed for alot of out of bounds stuff. For me it all started when i found a way to skip the second boss, it was so fun and i was so proud that i started to try all kinds of things :D
i remember playing this game in 2020 and thinking, "huh, i wonder what the speedrun is like!" and proceeded to have my mind blown by one of the most confusing and incomprehensible speedruns ive seen in my entire life. now i finally somewhat kind of understand whats going on!
incredible video!!! seeing the history of one of my favourite games from my childhood, a game i haven't played or thought about in a very long time was a surreal experience. Thank you for taking the time to document and create this video and thank you to all the runners/glitch hunters for making it possible.
Damn I know TwinSanity is bugged, but I don't know to what extent it's bugged lmao. It's crazy for these speedrunners to execute such meticulous techs that I'd just shrug off as some bugs lol.
This game was my favorite crash game when i was a child. Two years ago i replay it finally and... yeah... You call feel the development troubles, this game become painfully frustrating, but the opening stage is so good that make me wander what this game could have been.
twinsanity was one of my absolute favorite video games as a kid. it just has this sort of janky unpolished charm to it. if i were more determined, i'd wanna try giving speedrunning it a shot myself! great video by the way!
I love the history and breakthrough of this. It’s always interesting to see how broken and unfinished this game is. I’ve been (somewhat) following the speed run since 2019. With Ant Agony now being the only playable level, I wonder if someone will find a quicker way to beat the level and the Evil Twins.
Fantastic video for an equally fantastic speedrun. It seems like anything is possible with this game it you believe hard enough. I wouldn't even be surprised if someone finds a wrong warp at some point x)
I love seeing people talk about this game, I've seen a lot of speedrunning history videos but it never dawned on me that Twinsanity might have an active speedrunning scene with some crazy executions due to how unfinished the game is. This is a fantastic video
Wow, I've only just discovered your video, and it's amazing! This was my childhood game, and I kept replaying it as fast as I could because I loved it. But it was only after theredhotbr's run and qjere's run (truly legendary runs btw) that I heard about the speedrunning community. At that moment, I really wanted to run the game, but the fountain skip was so difficult that I simply did "casual speedruns". It was only after discovering the nut skip that I took the plunge. And your video sums up everything about this. Thank you for your awesome video about the game I love and its speedrun history, which has been a rollercoaster for years.
This game is easily in my top 3 all time favorites, I can't believe I'm just catching up today but tbh I'm just happy I do rn This video helps tremendously, loved it through and through amazing job mate
What a fantastic video, I remember fondly watching NikkaA's streams of speedrunning the game and it made me just so fascinated by it I tried some of the skips by myself, Twinsanity is such a underrated gem
@@KylieKyubii Damn, I kind of expected it to be something in that ballpark but it's still rough to see it spelt out what type of shitty behavior their misconduct was.
Crash Twinsanity was my favourite PS2 game; I only ever had a few of them but to this day I still love cracking open the busted up GameStop case and putting my old PS2 Phat to work while listening to the timeless acapella soundtrack. This is nostalgia incarnate
Finally I understand why Twinsanity any% speedrun for casuals watchers like me are like: 3 minutes of utter nonsense, and suddenly we're in Ant Agony. Great video, kept me interested for the whole of it! I went directly after this video to see how the WR was today, and just a week ago Gpro used a new strat to bring Cortex along Crash to Ant Agony and save more seconds, getting 10:22. (I bet you know this already.) Do you know how this skip works? Also, do you think after a bit of trying to shave some seconds, the category wil hit a new dark age since it hardly seems there's anything else to discover?
I’m not too familiar with the specifics of the new stuff (100% has always been my focus category and I haven’t touched Any% in about a year now), but from what I understand; after you Warp Skip to the start of Ant Agony, you can backtrack to the end of Bandicoot Pursuit, and since Cortex is programmed to exist at the end of that level, dying there will respawn you with him. You can then carry him into Ant Agony and I believe as long as he is physically there with you the whole time, dying will respawn both him and Crash normally without the game crashing. Using Cortex throughout the level saves time just by allowing you to do a lot more strats, like skipping the Ant fight as well as doing the Twin split strats like were done with the Ice Climb Skip in the past to bypass chunks of the level. It all saves enough time to make 10:0x possible from what Gpro has told me so it’s a huge time save. Any% is reaching the point where it’s nearing total optimization, at least with the strats we’re currently aware of. You could honestly argue that it’s one of the most optimized Crash categories in general now, alongside CTR No Major Glitches. I think it’ll hit another dormant period soon since there’s really not much left to implement, but I also said that at the beginning of the year when I made the video, and even before that before Cursed Warp happened. This game is really good at proving us wrong when we say there’s nothing left, so I wouldn’t be surprised to be eating my words in another year or two lol.

older video game coding and data processing logic is why i love speedruns , i cant explain it but im not into newer game runs like how i am with runs like these . the complexity and weird reactions the game gives you based on the players inputs , the hypotheticals with TAS runs . its all so interesting seeing it happen in real time .
Very good video, the craziest day ever segment was absolutely insane and what happened over the past year alone was cool to witness live. Still waiting for the day someone finds an Ant Agony warp.
Maybe someday.
Also, can’t wait for the 100% video.
Fantastic video man, I'm so happy that this was the game I chose to seriously run back in the later half of 2020(even if it meant I had my... ups and downs with All Levels). Can't wait for whatever happens next with the game and for your next video 🌰
Always loved the speedrun of this game over the years, just got more and more insane as every big new discovery ushered in a wave of hunting that WR
World record history is such an interesting thing to watch
Seeing any video covering Twinsanity's speedrunning is a dream come true, let alone one as extensive as this. WITH Croc 2 music as just the cherry on top. Legit feels like a video tailor-made for me, through sheer chance. Love it.
I’ve speedran this game for a few years. Nice to see you’ve made a video on it!
This just makes Twinsanity even more interesting! Nice video!
Yoo I've always wanted a speedrunning analysis vid on twins, glad it's doing well!
If any game can be broken into pieces and finished in less time than it takes to prepare and cook dinner it's Crash Twinsanity. Glitches are a speedrunner's best friend.
great to have more context about one of the most overlooked crash games. My first ever WR exposed to was Joestars back in the 20 min of the any% run
Twinsanity runs were part of the reason why I wanted to find glitches myself. The way the speedrunners broke this game was shocking. To find out there was new tech that made 10:xx possible is crazy. Great Video.
P.S. SmartKin is also a pretty well known figure in the “I wanna” fangame community with games like I wanna Come to the Conclusion that uses Crash music in certain sections.
I played this game as a kid and never got past rusty walrus chase. You have no idea how vindicated I feel hearing that it was just super difficult LOL
I had to practice it for literal hours to learn how to do it fast, and I’m one of the top runners for the game lol.
Something so cool about knowing that the latest progress on the game was just a month or so ago.
Good luck to anyone trying for sub-10 👍
Drinking game: take a shot every time Riko says infamous or notorious
I love the range of the glitches:
One is by breaking thru walls to load into a different dimension...
And the following glitch is to walk out of a door and then walk back in.
One is flying on an invisible hoverboard....
and another is moving a nut around the start of the game
I remember hating the crap out of this game because it lets you sequence break backwards. One time i thought i found a shortcut, but it was just a one way ticket to LITERALLY CP0 myself
Great video. I grew up playing this, so seeing this video was exciting since I feel no-one talks about this awesome game
Twinsanity speedrun has been on my mind for a while now, just because I've been in the mood to watch speedrun history videos for old PS2 era games or challenge videos for games like RE. Man did this video come out at such a good time for me haha. Great video and can't wait for the 100% one.
0:04 there’s more than one of them!?
Tragically.
The community has handily dealt with all problematic individuals though and that should be commended imo.
@@KylieKyubii Sadly, you get rid of one, another pops up.
Crash Twinsanity is one of my favourite games, it just has such a unique identity; there has never been another game like it.
Holy hek another super amazing video Riko! I look forward to seeing more content!
My childhood game. I was never into speedrunning, no one was in those days. but i just liked to go out of bounds and find skips on levels on my own :D this game allowed for alot of out of bounds stuff. For me it all started when i found a way to skip the second boss, it was so fun and i was so proud that i started to try all kinds of things :D
Great video about one of my favorite childhood games! Can't wait for the 100% video!
My favorite childhood game! So happy yt recommended me this so early! ❤❤❤
Penguinz0 has your video open on his stream, I think he'll watch it soon! Prepare for his army lol
hes had it open in his tabs for the past month bro lmao
i remember playing this game in 2020 and thinking, "huh, i wonder what the speedrun is like!" and proceeded to have my mind blown by one of the most confusing and incomprehensible speedruns ive seen in my entire life. now i finally somewhat kind of understand whats going on!
incredible video!!! seeing the history of one of my favourite games from my childhood, a game i haven't played or thought about in a very long time was a surreal experience. Thank you for taking the time to document and create this video and thank you to all the runners/glitch hunters for making it possible.
it brings me great pleasure to say they definitely took inspiration from jak and daxter, NAUGHTY DOG just knows how to make a platformer
My God that was just INSANE !!!! The video was just perfect dude. Thanks to create content like that !! Love from France :)
Banger video, I love seeing my childhood shattered into pieces
Damn I know TwinSanity is bugged, but I don't know to what extent it's bugged lmao. It's crazy for these speedrunners to execute such meticulous techs that I'd just shrug off as some bugs lol.
This game was my favorite crash game when i was a child. Two years ago i replay it finally and... yeah... You call feel the development troubles, this game become painfully frustrating, but the opening stage is so good that make me wander what this game could have been.
My 2 favorite games when I was little were Tag Team Racing and Enter The Dragonfly.
twinsanity was one of my absolute favorite video games as a kid. it just has this sort of janky unpolished charm to it. if i were more determined, i'd wanna try giving speedrunning it a shot myself! great video by the way!
Just yesterday I encountered your channel and now you upload an hour long video, amazing.
I love the history and breakthrough of this. It’s always interesting to see how broken and unfinished this game is. I’ve been (somewhat) following the speed run since 2019. With Ant Agony now being the only playable level, I wonder if someone will find a quicker way to beat the level and the Evil Twins.
Fantastic video for an equally fantastic speedrun. It seems like anything is possible with this game it you believe hard enough.
I wouldn't even be surprised if someone finds a wrong warp at some point x)
I have been wanting a video like this for years and finally it happened
I love seeing people talk about this game, I've seen a lot of speedrunning history videos but it never dawned on me that Twinsanity might have an active speedrunning scene with some crazy executions due to how unfinished the game is. This is a fantastic video
Thanks for this, been out of the loop for twins runs past 2019. Yall have done the game good. Looking forward to that 100% history documentary.
Wow, I've only just discovered your video, and it's amazing!
This was my childhood game, and I kept replaying it as fast as I could because I loved it. But it was only after theredhotbr's run and qjere's run (truly legendary runs btw) that I heard about the speedrunning community. At that moment, I really wanted to run the game, but the fountain skip was so difficult that I simply did "casual speedruns". It was only after discovering the nut skip that I took the plunge.
And your video sums up everything about this. Thank you for your awesome video about the game I love and its speedrun history, which has been a rollercoaster for years.
Wasn't expecting PSASBR music in here, this brought back many memories.
This game is easily in my top 3 all time favorites, I can't believe I'm just catching up today but tbh I'm just happy I do rn
This video helps tremendously, loved it through and through amazing job mate
BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS
It's actually insane that Crash Twinsanity has still never been to GDQ. One of the most fun and simple to learn speed games i've ever seen.
Hoping it gets in soon, Joe’s been trying for a while now.
I hope it does! The all levels or 100% category would make for a lit session
@@rac1equalsbestgame853 yeah, i was thinking of 100% in particular it's a very fun one
What a fantastic video, I remember fondly watching NikkaA's streams of speedrunning the game and it made me just so fascinated by it I tried some of the skips by myself, Twinsanity is such a underrated gem
Wow, super interesting glitches! Great video!
I'm watching the video, you did an incredible job and I loved every second of it, congratulations on the effort you made!
Am I the only curious as to what the removed individuals did that lacked conduct?
One was sexual misconduct. The other was transphobia.
@@KylieKyubii Ewww :x I'm glad they're gone from the community
@@KylieKyubiiwho are them?
@@blueplatinumrosalina1371 Look at the leaderboards
@@KylieKyubii Damn, I kind of expected it to be something in that ballpark but it's still rough to see it spelt out what type of shitty behavior their misconduct was.
can't wait for the 100% category video ! love your style of videos man! keep it up
Good video! I love it when the speed running history of a game gets told in a video form. I will be waiting for your video on 100% !!! ♡
Crash Twinsanity was my favourite PS2 game; I only ever had a few of them but to this day I still love cracking open the busted up GameStop case and putting my old PS2 Phat to work while listening to the timeless acapella soundtrack. This is nostalgia incarnate
20:53 Well that was beyond comprehension.
Finally I understand why Twinsanity any% speedrun for casuals watchers like me are like:
3 minutes of utter nonsense, and suddenly we're in Ant Agony.
Great video, kept me interested for the whole of it!
I went directly after this video to see how the WR was today, and just a week ago Gpro used a new strat to bring Cortex along Crash to Ant Agony and save more seconds, getting 10:22. (I bet you know this already.)
Do you know how this skip works?
Also, do you think after a bit of trying to shave some seconds, the category wil hit a new dark age since it hardly seems there's anything else to discover?
I’m not too familiar with the specifics of the new stuff (100% has always been my focus category and I haven’t touched Any% in about a year now), but from what I understand; after you Warp Skip to the start of Ant Agony, you can backtrack to the end of Bandicoot Pursuit, and since Cortex is programmed to exist at the end of that level, dying there will respawn you with him. You can then carry him into Ant Agony and I believe as long as he is physically there with you the whole time, dying will respawn both him and Crash normally without the game crashing.
Using Cortex throughout the level saves time just by allowing you to do a lot more strats, like skipping the Ant fight as well as doing the Twin split strats like were done with the Ice Climb Skip in the past to bypass chunks of the level. It all saves enough time to make 10:0x possible from what Gpro has told me so it’s a huge time save.
Any% is reaching the point where it’s nearing total optimization, at least with the strats we’re currently aware of. You could honestly argue that it’s one of the most optimized Crash categories in general now, alongside CTR No Major Glitches. I think it’ll hit another dormant period soon since there’s really not much left to implement, but I also said that at the beginning of the year when I made the video, and even before that before Cursed Warp happened. This game is really good at proving us wrong when we say there’s nothing left, so I wouldn’t be surprised to be eating my words in another year or two lol.
@@KylieKyubii thank you for answering! And keep up the good work, your videos are amazing!
40:01 شعوري بالحماس عند معرفت الذي حدث في هذا اليوم لا يصدق! حدث اسطوري ولاعبين اسطوريين حقاً ،شكراً لك على تخليد هذه اللحظات الاسطورية بمقطعك الاسطوري ، شكرًا شكراً شكراً…❤
Excellent video bro
Crash twinsanity will always be one of my favorite games ever
Oh baby. I know nothing about this speedrun other than it is absolutely broken so hyped for this video
Man, if we were to get one more Crash Remake, it needs to be this one. So much unused/scrapped content
Wouldnt be a true Speedrunning documentary without Samuraiman
What an amazing video, congrats again! 🥰
One of my favourite childhood games. My favourite game on Playstation 2.
Great video! Very well-researched and organised :D
