I have an idea: The first Warp Room from Crash 2. Here, the room rotates like Spiral Mountain, the stage that is, but you must knock an opponent through the ceiling in the middle, or through one of the portal doors to KO them. Doing so won't be easy, since they will be blocked by a force field until they are hit with enough force. What do you guys think?

For a Crash Bandicoot stage... how about for the platform, it's the blimp/plane he stands on when fighting against Dr. Neo Cortex at the end of Crash 1, while said aircraft flies over the islands?

N.Sanity Beach is one of the first ones that usually comes to mind and while I would be fine with it and wouldn't mind it, I feel it might be a little on the generic jungle side and could be somewhat similar to Donkey Kong's Kongo Jungle, If it does end up being the stage then I hope they fix it up quite a bit to make it stand out, But as long as Crash makes it in I won't complain.
The blimp from when you fight Cortex in the 1st game would probably be my choice and would work really well for the concept, level design and scenery of Cortex's castle up in flames in Smash, Hell have Cortex show up and fire his ray gun and be the stage hazard or just have him appear purely for show like Grunty in Spiral Mountain.

I like doing the Warp Room and doing a traveling stage myself. Probs the Time Twister Machine. I made a concept a while back of it traveling to N Sanity Beach, Sunset Vista, High Road, Bonus Area, Snow Go, Hang Eight, Piston It Away, Sewer or Later, Flaming Passion, Tomb Time, and Toad Village.

Another idea for the Warp Room, maybe have it be on the last, top most part where the laser was fired on the Cortex Vortex in Crash 2's true ending? With the laser being an obstacle to avoid?

I think the Warp Room or Time Twister taking us to different locations from Crash 2 or 3 would be really neat

So yeah, Japanese Crash is kill
Long live Japanese Crash
So it appears Crash 4 will be called "Crash 4" in Japan despite Wrath of Cortex being "Crash 4" in Japan (phew!) Also... no "Japanese Crash" on the box art. (First time ever?)https://t.co/LSLnRZ2oBj pic.twitter.com/R3DUnCE0Ej

No Japanese Crash? I wonder why that's the case.

How popular WAS Japanese Crash? I'm a little worried this might affect sales somewhat over there, given the whole reason they redesigned him was to make him appeal more.

I kind of wonder if Sega will be publishing the Japanese version just like what they did with N.Sane Trilogy?
Hopefully this game does much better than N.Sane Trilogy over there.

Maybe N. Sanity Beach with the normal crates, arrow crates, TNT crates and Nitro crates as stage hazards/platforms?

Definitely N. Sanity Beach. Sakurai often uses the most famous area for 3rd party characters (Pac-Man being the exception in Ultimate for some awful reason), so he’d definitely pick the beach.
I think it’d look pretty unique compared to the rest of Ultimate’s stages too.

Crash: On the Run has now officially hard-launched!
Also, it would be the second time we have a beach stage, technically.
Apparently, Pac-Land was influential towards Super Mario Bros, and Pac-Man was originally requested by Miyamoto, so.

I don't think I've seen anyone post any recent gameplay clips, which showcases a pirate world.
I don't mean to use him as a resource, but the montage he put together was the only gameplay I could find without any commentary.
Which actually made me think: what if Crash's DLC pack was released to coincide with/around the release of Crash 4, with a couple music tracks from that game?

I think CGE managed to get footage from a different source earlier.
And yeah, I think that would be the intent. It'd be odd if Acti didn't plan things to have their latest game specifically coincide with a Smash appearance.

Well, it's nice to see our efforts weren't in vain. Now we just need to get his three servants (Grumbler, Thorn Thing, and Digger).

Any source for that? Just want to make sure so that there's no misinformation.

Well I'll be, it happened. I guess there might be a season battle pack themed after the 99X crew.
Not this time, it's Square-Enix of all companies. How oddly apt.

Sadly, that would require Square Enix buying the rights to Crash and then letting Tetsuya Nomura reboot the franchise with a bunch of overly-complicated lore. Whether or not it'd be worth it is up to debate...

Guys, I just meant the Playstation in-jokes.
Besides, Square-Enix has a Western branch, which means Crystal Dynamics would be likelier to use Crash.

Jokes aside, I think the one person who's happiest about the recent developments is

, since he helped start up the movement to bring back Mr. Crumb.

Is it possible for Nitro-Fueled to get a small update adding skins based on the current designs for Crash characters? Alternatively, I'd love to see another CTR featuring the Quantum and Elementals as items somehow!
KirbyWorshipper2465
Smash Legend
In theory, possibly, and here's my reasoning why:
You know how Activision family games tend to have both a complete edition re-release and PC version sometime after the following game comes out? So far, Nitro-Fueled has neither of those (especially considering how the codes for the Nitros Oxide Edition and Electron Suits content will expire at the end of the year), and Crash 4 releases in October. So, I figure that once Beenox's assistance for Crash 4's development will be complete, they'll be freed up to put out a final re-release for Nitro Fueled (with tie-in content) and a PC version a few months afterwards.
Failing that, it's time to start campaigning for a sequel that could be made for 2022 (since I suspect that next year will be Spyro's).

Streamlining designs is honestly a better marketing practice nowadays, especially with most marketing going online. It's kind of like the McDonald's approach where they want it to be a similar experience no matter where you go in the world but with enough differences that it respects different cultural preferences.

I don't know if any of you all realized this in the past, but do you guys remember that old 1999 Smash 2 poll that Nintendo held back in the day? Well, something interesting I just realized until now is that out of all the actual video game characters, the only one that has absolutely no representation in Smash at the moment is Crash Bandicoot. Here are the results, by the way:
Super Mario Bros.
1. Bowser (Playable)
2. Peach (Playable)
3. Wario (Playable)

4. Celice (Spirit)
5. Sigurd (Spirit)
5. Leif (Spirit)

1. 007 James Bond (Not Eligible)
2. Banjo & Kazooie (Playable)

2. Doraemon (No Anime Characters Allowed)
3. Bomberman (Assist Trophy and Spirit)
4. Crash Bandicoot (???)
5. Sonic (Playable)
5. Mega Man (Playable)
As you can see, out of all these characters on the poll, the only one that has no representation in Smash as of yet that IS A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER is Crash. It could be a possibility that Nintendo has been slowly using this poll for all these years to decide how all of these characters could be represented, and come on, Crash would EASILY be a playable character.
I know their is a chance Sakurai and his team probably don't even remember this poll, but its still interesting to note.

I said it a long time ago but Crash really does have an inspiring history. The streamlining of the designs is a very good sign too because it shows that Activision is very serious about making Crash a global gaming icon, even more so than at his peak in the PS1 days. Whether he makes it into Smash, Crash has a bright future ahead of him.

It really is inspiring having characters like Banjo-Kazooie finally being in Smash as there games on the N64 were masterpieces. DQ Heroes, a legal nightmare to obtain and the big daddy of RPG's in Japan which is truly legendary over there. Crash & Spyro's best games that everyone wants to remember, being remastered and now continuing the series and not letting it be just a one stop cash grab. I get there is money in nostalgia with remasters and rehashes all the like, but a lot series have more than proven their worth through being very fondly remembered, still heralded gameplay at the core and dedicated fanbases. I'm just glad that light is getting shone on these IP's as lots of fans have stuck with them through the years good & bad; hopefully more will pop up soon like Chrono or Earthworm Jim

Crash definitely has a lot of things going for him compared to many Western third-parties. A rare case of a Western mascot successfully breaking into Japan's cultural barrier, loved across the world, has done a successful comeback, and the one that the majority agrees should be in Smash. It's only a question of time, I feel.
Earthworm Jim is getting a new sequel on the Intellivsion Amico, but I don't know if that'll work. At least he got a new comic and a cart compilation of 1 and 2 in the meantime.
