Why does the original Crash Team Racing feel so much heavier/harder to control than Nitro-Fueled?

So I went back to the original because I wanted to get some RetroAchievements

And wow i was not expecting this

On CTR NF

I’ve beaten like 12 Oxide time trials recently on so I thought I’d be fine.

Nope.

I can barely survive the FIRST WORLD

I don’t even know what I’m doing wrong but drifting in this game feels completely different. Like

I can’t keep a drift going properly

Boost timing feels super strict

Air-braking feels weird and inconsistent

And Ripper roo

Why The F&,K He destroying me 💀

In Nitro-Fueled I feel in control, but here Crash just feels heavy like A Goddamn Train

I don’t know if it’s just the original physics, or if playing on an emulator is making it worse, but this feels way harder than I expected.

Did anyone else struggle this much going back to the original CTR?

Tommorow is the day!

It was a very long and painful journey, but tommorow I'll attempt to finally finish the 106% feat - I am only five platinum relics away and I did almost three whole worlds today lol. My current combined playtime is just over 102 hours. I like the feeling of almost having "mastered" the game, even if my performance is nowhere near the impressive developer times which I won't be doing because I wanna move onto another platformer after I finish this one.

Being a Crash Bandicoot fan is frustrating

Sorry in advance if this is going to sound like a rant but it’s so hard for me to understand what Activision is doing with the franchise so i wanna share my feelings.

10 years ago (or so) we got one of the biggest comebacks in gaming history with N. sane trilogy, it was not perfect but it was great. A 20 year old game looked fresh new with new graphics and everybody loved it.

So they took the next step: CTR.. And holy hell did it look great. The single player was amazing and the feeling of beating the dev times was incredible.

But how about the online gameplay? How could they release a game with such high potential with such a bad online gameplay? Basically CTRNF had no lifeline without a good online and so it died.

Then Crash 4 got announced and wasn’t everybody excited? And what did they do? They changed the entire look of every character, same mistake They Made with Crash of the titans.

Don’t get me wrong the game wasn’t bad but it was too hard to complete for casuals and also a bit chaotic, maybe it’s Just me but it didn’t feel a Crash game but more of a Crash wannabe game.

And then Crash team rumble came out, I’m not even gonna waste anymore of your time on that.

And now here we are in 2026 with a dead franchise, same as it was 10 years ago.

As I said I’m sorry if this sounds like a useless rant but I’ve been a fan since 96 and it’s frustrating to see something with such high potential being wasted like this.

I mean couldn’t the Crash world be as good as the Mario world? What do you guys think?

I bought a Japanese Crash 1 demo and it came with a feedback form to send off

This form that arrived with my Crash 1 demo asks for your honest feedback on the game content, character, graphics, sound, and difficulty; question 4 is "What do you think of Crash?" (answer: he's brilliant)

According to the translation, the postage deadline was December 31, 1997 - just missed the cutoff. But if anyone from the Crash Bandicoot Demo Survey Department in Akasaka Oji Building 4F is reading, I would still like to be considered for the Playstation Memory Card Holder prize draw.

Fan Art - Ebenezer Von Clutch & The Zwergauto

Artwork of Von Clutch from CTTR in his default car. I made this for the #Crash30Collab hosted by @ BigBoyBuffBoy on Twitter/X.

I have always had a fondness for this character. Automobile enthusiast, engineer, war veteran and cyborg from Germany who runs a comically unsafe racing theme park. Definitely pretty far out there, but a welcome (if short lived) addition to the roster of this franchise.

But this crate?

I was replaying the first Crash, the original, for its 30th anniversary (and I haven't touched the original since I was a kid, recently I've only played the remastered) and I noticed now this "⬆️ wood crate" and that is too difficlut to destroy (in the remastered in fact this box is made of iron). After trying to destroy it several times, I finally let it go, but I still got the gem at the end of the level. So, does it not count as a box, or is it a bug?

This crate it's in "The High Road" Bonus

The Crate Escape: Master Relic (N.Hanced)

This is one of the worst levels I've ever had to speedrun in the entire series.

Playing as Cortex normally is fine, but he is just WAY too jank when you're trying to rush. His blaster really needs auto-aim because trying to aim manually with him is so sensitive and his hitboxes are bullshit.

I still have several more Cortex levels to do after this, and just the thought alone is enough to make me feel queasy.
