I didn't know about the different character icons! I got CNK in an old video game store, and the box of the game featured the NTSC Crunch icon- but the game had the other one! As a kid, I always believed the Crunch on the box cover is actually a hidden bear-character that you have to unlock the same way you get Penta in CTR. Then I completely forgot about that for like 15 years... until now!
This bugged me soo much as a kid, I’d pause it, notice the unusable power up and freak out lol, and back then there was no simple way of googling it to get info on it, so good to see exploits now a days! 😀👍
You know, I wonder if that voo-doo doll item could have been the frenzy without having a teammate in a race, because on CNK you did have the option on single player to do races without teams if you were not on Adventure Mode, but then without teams the frenzy is not possible, and this is where the voo-doo doll item could have come into play. Also, the NTSC-U version icons, I had it on my XBOX, but the "Other Versions" icons my cousin had it on the GameCube, and we're both from the US.
Interesting how an item turned into a feature that's part of the gameplay. Look at CTR as well. It had an unused SPRING item that made you do a big jump. It was excluded from the game, due to being replaced by the small hops that you can do with R1/L1 on the playstation controller. Also, the shortcuts were designed around that mechanic. Not to mention, the spring item... i think also let go you out of bounds WAY too easily.
There’s another difference with the NTSC-U and PAL version of the game which is the loading screen for Terra. In the NTSC-U version the character featured on the loading screen was Coco. In the PAL version the screen instead showed Cortex knocking Oxide off his kart.
I remember that appearing in a capture in the manual of the game. In the same manual, theres was an icon of a yellow lightining as a power up. Maybe it was deleted too?
That's a disappointment: I assumed from the voodoo doll icon that it would have acted like a shield but if a missile hit you it would actually damage the person who fired it etc.
As a suggestion, maybe you could make a video covering all the pop-culture references in the level names? Like a lot of them are pretty obvious puns or alliterations, but a bunch of them are references to popular media, like "Crate Balls of Fire" and "Weathering Heights" (both from TWoC)
Not really sure if this would fit in this series or not but I would love to see a video about the tiger electronics hand held crash bandicoot games, I feel like it would be pretty interesting.
Would've been a fun power-up in particular for battle mode but I can understand why it was disabled in the final game. Interesting how this game promotes team play more than the game with 'team' in the title!
With the different character icons for different regions I always thought it was weird when I looked on the back of my UK copy and saw the really weird looking US crunch icon that didn't show up at any point in the game
I must have the NTSC-U version of the game because that's what my icons look like. Even when I was little I hated how Crunch's icon looked and when I saw gameplay of the other version for the first time I was a little jealous of how much better they looked.
That doesn't seem to be correct. I have the NTSC-U version as well, but I don't get these creepy ass textures. It might actually be a console difference.
i think that you should talk about the beta models of crash that went unused in crash of the titans...you know it's good to find cut content in underrated games that were once our childhood....
If Wumpa Lewis needs a similar facts about Crash like this one on CNK, i got a couple from the OG CTR, the cut Spring Power Up which made you jump, that's it, comparable to Super Mario Kart's Feather which made it more situational than anything else, Penta's Voice with the whole "Penguin Yay 1" was a mistake and the whole story of that is interesting to say the least, Fake Crash and Penta had endings for CTR's Credits scene but were cut and later implemented in the Japanese version, Oxide was playable at one point during development but was cut due to his size and lacking the time to shrink him down...
You should talk about Gone a bit Coco, that cut level from Twinsanity, it's really wanted by fans and sadly we just some pictures and like 5 seconds of gameplay, but some developers and GameHut (director of TT back then) said the level was almost finished and playable on development demo discs, but no one has footage, and some discs must have the level but on some old TT or Activision office at this point...
Fun Fact: Any version of Crash Nitro Kart GBA uses the NTSC-U version of Crash Nitro Kart character icon. I suppose the NTSC-U was made earlier than other versions.
I used to do the exact same thing with pausing the game to see the items. I couldn't work out why I couldn't get specific items in the races. Always wondered why the character icons were differnet between versions too.
The icons on the NTSC-U version are only on the PS2 version. The icons on the Other Versions are present in the NTSC-U version of CNK, but they are on the GameCube version of the game. I own both the PS2 and GC versions of CNK so I was able to prove this fact. I don't know about the Xbox version as I don't have the Xbox version of the game. But, I think those icons are on the Xbox version too.
I never got a chance to play Crash Nitro Kart, but however, I did play the original Crash Team Racing, and I can play the Nitro Kart tracks on CTR Nitro Fueled
Well, you could always play the Crash Bandicoot (99x) game on the Tiger Electronics Handheld Gaming System AKA the game that Mr. Crumb was introduced in.
I knew I wasn't crazy. That fucking doll. I remember I got it once and then I never saw it again. I thought I was hallucinating but now, after 8ish years I found it to be true. What the fuck
i wish they added the story mode of CNK into NF
Same. Would have been like the N. Sane Trilogy, but with the two kart racers.
Same
i thought zuckles commented on this video for a second lol
@@tylermatthew349 Create your own teams...so like Team Sonic Racing?
@@tylermatthew349 oh ok
Huh, so that's what that was. Guess that's one of the many childhood curiosities I had solved
It should’ve been an item in Nitro Fueled. You use it to hit any random racer out of nowhere.
We already have that going on in online.
Or make it so if you get damaged, the person that has it applied will also get damaged
:)
@@joeltehguy
Why tho
There’s the one that’s on every crash video

I thought the crunch on the box cover was another some small bandicoot
I never played any crash games until I started watching your videos .....and I'm really enjoying, the crash games and your videos as well
This bugged me soo much as a kid, I’d pause it, notice the unusable power up and freak out lol, and back then there was no simple way of googling it to get info on it, so good to see exploits now a days! 😀👍
Hell yeah this series pretty much gon be an unofficial multi part crash iceberg explained
Man whenever i see you make nitro kart content. It makes me smile because its my very first racing game i played
You know, I wonder if that voo-doo doll item could have been the frenzy without having a teammate in a race, because on CNK you did have the option on single player to do races without teams if you were not on Adventure Mode, but then without teams the frenzy is not possible, and this is where the voo-doo doll item could have come into play.

Never looked back at this.. I always had the idea it'd been a crazy hidden unlockable item.
Now that's one of my friends' supposedly "myths" solved xD
I was playing this game last week and i saw that icon and have no idea what that means. Thanks for this video Wumpa Lewis!
Interesting how an item turned into a feature that's part of the gameplay.

That doll item always confused me as a kid.
me too until i found that it is a beta item
*CNK* is such an underrated gem!
I remember that appearing in a capture in the manual of the game. In the same manual, theres was an icon of a yellow lightining as a power up. Maybe it was deleted too?
ngl i really like this new series (i did not grow up with cnk so i didn't know this is a thing)
Thanks for the shout-out!
i've grown up playing crash nitro kart i have also seen that item. cnk is one my of my fav games i remember playing it with my dad and sister....
That's a disappointment: I assumed from the voodoo doll icon that it would have acted like a shield but if a missile hit you it would actually damage the person who fired it etc.
Lets goooo! This series sounds awesome!

Under Pressure that Crash 3 level. 🙄
So that's why the icons looked kinda strange to me! I was looking at PAL footage!
how you gonna disrespect our ntsc-u version crunch icon like that
Not really sure if this would fit in this series or not but I would love to see a video about the tiger electronics hand held crash bandicoot games, I feel like it would be pretty interesting.
That would be a good fit for this series if not, maybe something else... Like the Spring in the early versions on OG CTR.
Would've been a fun power-up in particular for battle mode but I can understand why it was disabled in the final game. Interesting how this game promotes team play more than the game with 'team' in the title!
There was also a cut item from Crash Team Racing. It was a spring the just made you bounce really high.
I wish your videos were longer. I love them all :)
I wish we got the story and nitro kart items in nitro fuelled. I was disappointed-we didn’t get a cnk story mode.
With the different character icons for different regions I always thought it was weird when I looked on the back of my UK copy and saw the really weird looking US crunch icon that didn't show up at any point in the game

@@neutronpcxt372 I was playing on a PS2. Just saw the doll flash by again the other day.
i think that you should talk about the beta models of crash that went unused in crash of the titans...you know it's good to find cut content in underrated games that were once our childhood....
Man, I remember randomly seeing that power-up while pausing the game as a kid and being creeped out by it, believing my game was cursed
I wasn't impressed by the Team Frenzy mechanic either, in fact I don't miss it.
They should have the voodoo doll be the counter to Team Frenzy.
oh boy twinsanity is gonna have 20 parts in this new series lmao
thank goodness i’m not the only one who noticed this when i was a kid
If Wumpa Lewis needs a similar facts about Crash like this one on CNK, i got a couple from the OG CTR, the cut Spring Power Up which made you jump, that's it, comparable to Super Mario Kart's Feather which made it more situational than anything else, Penta's Voice with the whole "Penguin Yay 1" was a mistake and the whole story of that is interesting to say the least, Fake Crash and Penta had endings for CTR's Credits scene but were cut and later implemented in the Japanese version, Oxide was playable at one point during development but was cut due to his size and lacking the time to shrink him down...
Please talk about the incredible high amounts of cut content on Crash Twinsanity!
Wow you scratched my curious itch for years
the ntsc-u icons is only in the ps2 version of the game,in the gamecube and xbox the ntsc-u icons looks exactly like the pal icons
Miss this videos
So you have chose to become the Cybershell of Crash
You should talk about Gone a bit Coco, that cut level from Twinsanity, it's really wanted by fans and sadly we just some pictures and like 5 seconds of gameplay, but some developers and GameHut (director of TT back then) said the level was almost finished and playable on development demo discs, but no one has footage, and some discs must have the level but on some old TT or Activision office at this point...
I grew up with the PAL versions of everything
Oh yeah this is a very interesting detail. I completely forgot about this. Lol
The should brought these items back in nitro fueled
Thank u so much , I literally want to know what does voodoo doll do literally since 2010 :)
Best racing game. Also I couldn’t pin point your accent lol, thought you were Australian
Fun Fact: Any version of Crash Nitro Kart GBA uses the NTSC-U version of Crash Nitro Kart character icon. I suppose the NTSC-U was made earlier than other versions.
Crash wrath of cortex > crash 4 it’s about time
Understandable.
I used to do the exact same thing with pausing the game to see the items. I couldn't work out why I couldn't get specific items in the races. Always wondered why the character icons were differnet between versions too.
I just saw a meme with this mentioned on the subreddit what the heeck
There was a lot of creepy pasta about this item back in the day
The icons on the NTSC-U version are only on the PS2 version. The icons on the Other Versions are present in the NTSC-U version of CNK, but they are on the GameCube version of the game. I own both the PS2 and GC versions of CNK so I was able to prove this fact. I don't know about the Xbox version as I don't have the Xbox version of the game. But, I think those icons are on the Xbox version too.
In the next episode of this series, you should talk about the fact that you can play crash bash on a spyro 3 disk
I like that this item doesn't actually do anything Voodoo doll-ish
I think most of the NTSC icons were used in the GBA version, as I definitely recognise... THAT Crunch.
I never got a chance to play Crash Nitro Kart, but however, I did play the original Crash Team Racing, and I can play the Nitro Kart tracks on CTR Nitro Fueled
I'm thinking of getting an Xbox 360 just to play this game
The beta version of sunset vista in crash 1 being a lot longer would be a good video topic.
Do you know n brio, rilla roo, the komodo bros,and Nina cortex were going to be playable in cnk but cut?
3:20 i grew up with the bottom icons they look better crunch looks like a fucking plushy at the top
oh yeah, that thing. i remember it.
What about the jungle like race track that appears in the intro cutscene of adventure mode of CTR that simply does not exist in the game?
Pretty sure the NTSC-U icons are in the PAL GBA version as well.
Are you related to Simon Farnaby?
I still disappointed the cut character Rilla Roo because he was supposed to be but along with brio Nina Komodo bro’s and tiny tiger and he was cut
Lewis there was a crash bandicoot cartoon that was canceled very recently
Maybe do a vid on the speed ghost/polswid tech in CTR Nitro Fueled? The WR time trials for Roos tubes and Megamix Mania are crazy fast because of it
I really love this. Da I wish. To play this again and twinsanity too
It’s sad that there’s nothing new to play with Crash right now other than CTR Online (if it works) or the frustrating Crash 4 106% completion.
Well, you could always play the Crash Bandicoot (99x) game on the Tiger Electronics Handheld Gaming System AKA the game that Mr. Crumb was introduced in.
They should've just kept the doll and removed the team frenzy mechanic if you ask me
Believe it or not i used to own that very same PS Magazine demo disk, but sold it long ago :(
I think The Hidden Palace has the demo, although I'm not sure if that is THE demo.
I knew I wasn't crazy. That fucking doll. I remember I got it once and then I never saw it again. I thought I was hallucinating but now, after 8ish years I found it to be true. What the fuck
I wish they used this stuff, it’s really cool
Lewis have you seen the cancelled Crash Bandicoot Cartoon show, are you gonna make a video about it ?
Did you know that the N on cortex's head stands for nerd
I know your more based around Crash but I'd like your view on Jak X and Jak seem as though it's naughty dog
I think it is for the final boss
Because it's like him
This pissed me off as a kid lol.
Wumpa gaming
Pls do an iceberg video
Crash Nitro kart is underrated. This may be a hot take but i think it's better than crash team racing.
Can we have a G FUEL WUMPA FRUIT TASTE TEST? 💚
Would need to be imported so would cos a bit more than normal price. And dunno if imports etc will be affected by Brexit
I care about your random Crash trivia
Good vid
You should talk about Crash mobile games.
Do twinsanity next
You the man
Nice vid but you need a shorter, snappier name.
What about Bandibits or N-teresting Facts?
It’s long name is on purpose
A new crash bandicoot show just cancelled a few days ago . Maybe you want to talk about it ? Just saying you know ?
Face reveal at 2k subs?
Voodoo vince anyone?
Classic game
Beans
Never seen that item tbh
Can you do a wwe series please
Why tho?
Hey, I care about the useless Crash racing games trivia
It's me or the game is fast ?
ah man 3
