QoL Improvments

Dark_Hadrian

Heya, I am a long fan of the crash bandicoot series, I havd known the original trilogy, the gameboy versions and the last n sane and crash 4 version. 

There are several things that bother me:

1-Only mostly mushroom as spring. If you are familiar with crash or even played crash 4, up arrow metal boxes are way far more common. Mushrooms for turtles woods, it is okay, for the lab okay to have slime but for all the rest put metal arrow boxes. It doesn't make sence a shroom in a sewer or in an underground frosty facility after the lab level.

2- Use original soundtracks. Really. The horible themes are not making senses for boss battles. It should go. Dingodile with just two bars of musics, two rhythms, seriously? Use original dingodile theme. Same with cortex, same with n brio, same with nina... It is like the theme they have have been created like nobody aware they already got a theme.

3- Let the players choose the theme version they like to hear, imho, the materials races themes are bad qnd an i.sult to original games whereas the ones playing in boss battle before seeing the boss are fire. I will ask you to play the level after theab on the second island. Snow go. You play it as boss version, the theme rocks. If for materials, the theme is flat, depressing, without substance. I would like to be anle to always hear boss version even in material collect or challenges races.

Allow me to illustrate what I'm saying by redirecting you to three version of the theme of Snow Go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKRwQxDf9Yw The original theme. Here N nane version, but the melody is the same as ps1.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuSNJFxI-DQ&list=PLfQ0j5YNcrZp84UjyyNHfX4MJDGM2yoq5&index=8 The Crash on the run, boss version. This theme rocks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBieDDmsSzA&list=PLfQ0j5YNcrZp84UjyyNHfX4MJDGM2yoq5&index=15 Collection run. Bad, like someone hitting crystals.

4- How the materials are spread in the different levels: Take dino mythe. Way far too much flowers and fire orbs for only few lozange fire shards, I speak of a big ratio here, 35 35 15 this need to be fixed. Frost berries are very common too, easy to farm 40, same with ice shells. But what about the head seeking missiles or frosty brains? Not enough. Not enough compared to the equipments pieces that are everywhere.

5- Add more playable characters: tawna and why not the bosses after beating them (original skins, not mutants or mutans as additionnal skins)  polar, the tiger pura...

6- Add emblematic foes from original series, I was shocked in sewer or later level, in addition of not hearing the original music, to not see flamethrower lab assistant, or mecha-rats with spike on the back. You made the level like it was kinda mixed with toxic wastes reusing the barrels, so I would have not been surprised seeing mafia rats throwing barrels.

Dyno mythe, same issue, really, the level to you is just geyser and lava? Nothing more? Should have muddy sections with lab assistant in it, t rex running to us using two lanes, pterodactyls.

For lost ruins and temple ruins: where are the bats, the snakes, jumping lizards? Again if you want to mix with crash 2, there could be flamethrower monkey statue, log throwing gorillas.

For the sake of being consistent, why future frenzy lasers in the lab ? Big facepalm. No wood trapdoor opening the ground, no electric hand assistants?

Replace those future frenzy discs by regular electric diodes barriers you put everywhere.

Finally, tell me why there is piston in a level that is obviously snow go (level after the lab), you should replace pistons by logs stomping the ground. It isn't a facility, it is Orginally a frosty ruin occupied by penguins and seals.

7- Make all types of labs follow the same time scheme: Flask = 1 min, Bottle = 10 mins , Pistol = 1 Hour , Bazooka = 2 Hours. Also make it possible that like for eggs, at a moment, we can do at least 4 weapons in same time. This can be achieved by the ability to have 2 lab of each type, with each 2 slots available. And the final one for each locked for crystals. This is a great improvment, because if you put a pistol and a bazooka currently, you can't do any other weapon for several hours.

Those are constructive feedbacks. Don't take it agressively, just want the best for that game.
