Caddicarus Crash Bash. Crash Bash Caddicarus. Ever since the original game review when Caddy still did game reviews very similar to JonTron back in 2012 up until Caddy Plays Crash Bash where he got to Crash Bash 200 percent by not even doing a Crash Bash speedrun or a Crash Bash speed run, everyone hasn't been able to remove the relationship between Caddy and the worst Crash Bandicoot party game Crash Bash. Actually that's too harsh, I'd say one of the worst Crash Bandicoot games from the void of bad Crash Bandicoot games is probably Crash Boom Bang DS gameplay and Crash Boom Bang DS review, but after going for the Crash Bash ending by completing Crash Bash, you'll see exactly why it's as hated as it is. Going after all crystals and all gems and all gold relics and all platinum relics is going to be explained in agonizing detail during this video, and you'll see all of the worst crystal challenges, worst gem challenges and worst relic challenges. In this Crash Bash review with Crash Bash gameplay you'll see lots of Crash Bash PS1 on the original PlayStation. Arguably too much PS1. I played the entire game on my region free PS2 for the most authentic experience and not emulated at all, meaning I had to sit there through all of the Crash Bash loading music as it read it raw from the disc itself - and despite everything I do in this video, the Crash Bash region differences did allow for me to use Crash Bash cheat codes or Crash Bash cheats that only work via the original first edition Crash Bash PAL black label copy. However, you can also use the Crash Bash demo cheat to gain access to the Crash Bash full game and see the Crash Bash all minigames - doable either from the Spyro 3 Crash Bash demo with the Spyro 3 cheat codes and Spyro 3 cheats, or the classic PS1 demo disc music on the PS1 demo disc Crash Bandicoot method in order to access the Crash Bash debug menu. Luckily at least the Crash Bash music on Crash Bash PS1 is great stuff and I recommend you searching for the Crash Bash OST whenever you can to hear how good it is - I just do NOT recommend you trying to get Crash Bash 200 or Crash Bash 200%. Actually scratch that, don't even try Crash Bash 100% and Crash Bash 100. It's not worth it, not even with the Crash Bash 2 player adventure mode to get you the very few unique Crash Bash cutscenes and 1 additional bonus boss level from the Crash Bash all bosses after Crash Bash Oxide Ride should close the whole game off. I am done with Crash Bash and I can't wait to just go back to any Mario Party - whether it be Mario Party N64 or Mario Party 2 N64 or Mario Party 3 N64, or even the newest ones on the Nintendo Switch such as Mario Party Superstars or the upcoming Mario games Super Mario Party Jamboree review. I can recommend literally ANY party game over this, even Sonic Shuffle gameplay from Sonic Shuffle Dreamcast. If you look at another Crash Bandicoot review online featuring Crash Bandicoot gameplay you may even notice that much like the N Sane Trilogy not made by Naughty Dog, Crash Bash Remake should exist. I don't think it should happen - no Crash Bash PS4 or Crash Bash PS5 or even a Crash Bash 2 - let it go. I wasn't even that into Crash Team Rumble gameplay and so didn't bother with a Crash Team Rumble review. Yes, I said Crash Team Rumble and not Crash Team Racing PS1 with Crash Team Racing gameplay - one of the best PlayStation games of all time. I don't think Crash Bash is one of the worst PlayStation games of all times but as far as retro games go in the retro gaming community, until you've tried to complete Crash Bash, you have no idea.

As a person who did a 200% attempt in my teenage years, I can confirm that the enemy A.I. is sentient and hellbent on making your life as inconvenient as humanly possible.

[BloodySkarlet]

Fun fact: You can actually achieve 201% in Crash Bash if you play the adventure mode with two players, the two of you must choose characters from the opposite side (for example: Crash and Cortex). Once you start the adventure and suffer reaching 200% a special cinematic will play which shows Aku Aku and Uka Uka arguing which side really won and as they can't decide it, the two players will play a crate crush minigame which "defines" the fate of the universe depending which side (player) won.
I'm writing this from memory so I don't know how accurate I am on this one.

[RandomGameCritic]

Fun fact about the AI for bosses in this game: Bosses slowly get easier and easier each time you fail, and the AI for N. Oxide is so cruel that top level speed runners always lose against Oxide twice on purpose before they even _attempt_ to fight him for real.

[Elijah_Kujo]

its so weird how obvious it is that the devs thought "well we're not gonna code the CPUs to fight each other, they should gang up on the player" and though NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THAT

[andrewhussey]

So this man has :
-Completed Crash Bash
- Completed Crash 4
- Got all of the Platinum Time Trial Relics in EVERY GAME THAT HAS THEM!

Thank you Caddy! We appreciate the hard work you do for us, but this has to have aged you by 15 years!

[YesmanForNamsey]

Love how just like the Crash 4 video, there's visual development of Caddy losing his mind, this time his bags under his eyes getting bigger and bigger and him needing more crack.

1:20:42 This image is really awesome.
It's like you're trying to sneak a piece of chocolate cake, but your mom hired a tiny polar bear rodeo to guard it.

[charskull]

Even though it wasn't a scripted joke. And is a very real thing. I do sort of love the fact that caddy goes from long hair to no hair in random times. Showing when he recorded each scene

[SnakeMan]

For the embodiment of evil, Uka Uka has a sense of goodwill and fair play. When Aku Aku complains that the teams are uneven, Uka Uka allows him to take two villains. In Warped, Uka Uka tears Cortex a new one for failing him twice, and then accepts him back as his right hand because Cortex did destroy his prison.

I spent a while learning to speedrun DS3 a few years back. The "YOU DIED" text is literally designed to make you sit there helplessly and think about what you've done, and I don't think that lasts more than 4 seconds. Crash Bash having a "FAIL" pop up lasting about as long if not longer than a series designed to frustrate you is crazy.

[RandomUserP]

54:33 The game got so pissy that Caddy’s luck was so good here, they decided “You know what? I don’t think you deserve the gem” and crashed itself out of spite.

[twatts]

Of course Caddy would spend 90 minutes wailing about the agony of 200%ing Crash Bash, only to gloss over the fact that he did it TWICE.

[MatusMrazik]

It's worth mentioning that the 200% TAS of this game (tool assisted speedrun, which means using tools such as savestates and frame advance to optimise inputs for every single frame to perfection so you can beat the game as fast as theoretically possible) is FIVE HOURS AND TWENTY ONE MINUTES LONG. You literally can't beat the game any faster.

[player_lv]

I love how it's implied that this game is "Good guys" vs. Bad guys, and yet it feels more like you vs. the world

[BCTheEntity]

I think the genuinely worst part about the relics is, they could *easily* have all been rolled into one challenge just like the usual time trial relics, with a better relic depending on how many wins in a row you got - 1 for sapphire, 2 for gold, 3 for platinum. That way, even if you *did* win twice before losing, at least the first time you're rewarded for getting that far. But no, you have to win twice in a row, *then* win three more times in a row. Because apparently we needed even more identical gameplay.

[DawnOfTheOzz]

"Why am I yelling about a 20 year old 32 bit video game when I have a mortgage?"

I think you answered your own question, Caddy.

[rexdomi]

The dark circles and the "powder bags" on the couch were a nice touch throughout the video

[MWR]

To this day, I remember a 200% Co-Op "Speedrun" of Crash Bash beginning with the most ominous quote of all time:
"Crash Bash is a game where you play Crash Ball, and then proceed to not have fun for six hours straight." - Someone at ESA

[BugsyFoga]

This crash bash video made me realize that since Caddy’s first video on the game, I’ve been watching his channel for over a decade, now that certainly makes me feel old .
