Relics have always been tied to time
#put crystals in place of relics

I kinda perfer the idea of relics imo, too many games have crystals as currency or as an objective. Relics while yes they've always been time based it allow for them to be represented in CTRumble

I do not agree. the crystals were better

too late for that. plus we have the double relics, making a model for that but with crystals would be weird

not such a hard thing to do in two months
swift robin
These are different kinds of relics
they look kinda mechanical this time
Also there are a lot less crystals canonically and they dont respawn

Crash on the Run would like to have a word with you
swift robin
I know I didnt like they did that
also its a different timeline
On the run casually just has an island with dinos in the n sanity island
sick nest
I played that game religiously, and I did not see a single living dinosaur in the dinosaur level.
Dinosaur bones, yes. Actual dinos, no.
Also, personal headcanon: On the Run is the last game in the timeline, but from Dingodile's perspective it happens just before Crash 4.
swift robin
You can have that headcanon but OTR is not the same Crash, he is another universe version
that was the main thing of the game iirc
sick nest
No, EVERYONE ELSE was from a different universe, not Crash himself.
swift robin
Thats why I'm saying COTR is different
sick nest
OTR takes place after Titans, because the flavour text for the Alpha and Beta parts states that they're from the remains of the Doominator.
And Titans references its predecessors multiple times, including Tiny's absence from CTTR, so it must be on the same timeline as those.
sick nest
Uh how
Its a completely different island too
In Crash Nitro Kart, Crash's house on N. Sanity Island gets uprooted by Velo.
In all games after CNK, with the sole exception of Twinsanity which has to come first chronologically, his house is on Wumpa Island.
Coincidence? I think not.
swift robin
How does that relate to Crash on the run lmao
sick nest
It opens on Wumpa
sick nest
Is it different, though? Outside of Crash 1, we never had any specific locations for the levels before OTR
swift robin
Its literally explained in the trailers and stuff that its literally a different version of Crash
swift robin
Is it different, though? Outside of Crash 1, we never had any specific locations...
Yes
There is no way all those locations are on the same few islands
sick nest
Its literally explained in the trailers and stuff that its literally a different...
Were we watching the same trailers?
Yes, the trailer says "It's about time for a new Crash", but I'm pretty sure they meant "a new Crash game"
swift robin
Not what I meant
Its just a random mobile game where the locations literally make no sense, the collectibles make no sense
The world is just completely different
They show that its a different version of the characters in the trailer and game itself
also It makes 0 sense why "Dino Might" which is a levels name, is just an entire island right beside wumpa island
Also unrelated but like.. its weird that they just use random level names as like the canonical name for the island itself now
Like why is the whole sewer system called "Sewer or Later"
sick nest
also It makes 0 sense why "Dino Might" which is a levels name, is just an entire...
Wumpa Island has an entire volcano on it in Crash 1, and we only got to explore a single cavern of it during the Koala Kong fight. It's not unreasonable that Dino Might could be elsewhere around that volcano.
Plus, the whole "separate island" thing could just be artistic licence. When's the last time you saw Alaska and Hawaii drawn to scale?
swift robin
Wumpa Island has an entire volcano on it in Crash 1, and we only got to explore ...
No, they specifically named it after a Crash 3 level which is in the pre historical era.. so its not supposed to be that
If it would have been a generic lava island ig you could argue that
But its literally dinosaur theme
sick nest
But is it still the prehistoric era when you visit in OTR? Notice the lack of swamp water and living dinosaurs. This location has clearly aged.
swift robin
Not all of those levels are in a swamp area. The OTR level is just one segment of the Warped level. All the other named locations are based on previous levels even if they dont make sense to be there, why would they name it Dino Might but it not have anything to do with it?
Ithink Crash on the run just cramed a bunch of random things in because it was a random mobile game and they didn't really care to make it accurate at all.
Tbh
They could have just done it with the time travel thing again
sick nest
I'm not so sure it is random
swift robin
But its just a random mobile game I don't think its meant to be canon
It makes really no sense, like it contradicts everything
sick nest
Three-quarters of the Ice Warp Island locations are accessible from Warp Room 2 in Crash 2. Which also happens to be ice-themed.
swift robin
yes and?
sick nest
Yes, The Lab is an outlier, but there can be more than one Lab
swift robin
Some things in OTR can be explained as correct thats for sure, but there are too many contradictions to say its really in the same universe
I feel like OTR was supposed to just combine everything from the other Crash games and not really follow the same story
sick nest
Mind Over Mutant has an entire desert area that had "just been discovered". I don't think we should be worrying too much about Crash's geography.
swift robin
Does it really just connect to wumpa island for some dumb reason?
swift robin
I also consider Titans and Mutants to be a different continuity too
Even besides the random desert
sick nest
They still reference past games as historical events though
swift robin
I mean yeah, but thats the thing about an alternate universe, some things can be the same
Because they reference past events, but many other things randomly are just different
sick nest
Like Cortex "creating Crash" with Nina in the Titans intro?
swift robin
Its kinda like the Spiderman movies
Each iteration he does mostly the same stuff, but many things are different, meaning its not the same universe
sick nest
Is he really creating Crash in that cutscene? Or is he creating Carbon Crash?
swift robin
Carbon Crash isn't canon
I dont think?
He's just a random P2 character
I dont think Crash and Coco can randomly turn into masks xD
sick nest
Just because he's not in the cutscenes? Neither is Coco in MOM after you unlock her.
sick nest
You know who else was a colour swap made for 2 player?
Luigi
swift robin
I don't really think Carbon Crash is meant to be taken as fact in the story
heavy rivet
You know who else was a colour swap made for 2 player?
Luigi
come on bruh
swift robin
Ik 💀💀
Luigi is actually acknowledged, and is his own character
Carbon Crash literally just spawns in just for player 2
Cortex didn't make him
Crash has schizophrenia 
if everything in Co-op is canon, then Crash and Coco can break the laws of the universe and turn into masks that their only power is to spawn chickens
anyway, also Crystal's are not supposed to be so common, in OTR they are used as currency. Even tho other things in the game prove it isn't canon
sick nest

Who's to say that isn't one of Aku Aku's powers? To transform others into chicken-shooting masks? He literally never leaves their side in that game.
He did just learn to use pocket dimensions, after all.
swift robin
Lol no
Idk why random co-op mechanics that weren't supposed to be canon, need to be canon
sick nest
Because Time Trials need to be canon. That's how you get the true ending in several games.
swift robin
Those are relics....
