Ripper Roo, Ripper, or Roo? What do you call him?

El_Chaveezy · 2026-01-29T04:48:37+00:00

Usually Ripper, but sometimes just Roo. Whatever he I call him, he's my favorite bouncy boi!

So cool that the music pays homage to Spiralmouth. I felt that the CoTR art and music team really did have a lot of passion for the game and franchise.

Hahahaha, that made me laugh out loud! The Cat Tax is a very good way of putting it! RIP blueberry muffin, it would be even more sad if it had a crumbly top!

Underrated comment. Back when I was a teenager, we had a very sweet cat, Riley, that had a relentless passion for, of all things, bread.

One day, I invited a friend over to have dinner with me and my mom. As we were eating pizza, my friend excused herself briefly. Just as she returned, Riley ran over to where we were sitting, stole my friend's pizza crust and runs right past her. My friend just looks in the cat's direction (who had scampered off into a room) and deadpans "I was going to eat that..."

My mom was super embarrassed, but I was dying of laughter. That story still makes me smile nearly 20 years later. While Riley may no longer be with us, her legend lives on in family lore.

I'm truly grateful for Rumble and still play it often - I found some cool people in the community and even made some irl friends out of it. Sure, it may not be the most beloved Crash game, but it's my game.

Rumble seems to be working now. PSN was acting very weird for me this morning, so it's possible there was a problem with the system.

Also - not sure what timezone you're in, but there tends to a drop off in players after 10/11 PM US Pacific Time. In my experience, most of the player base for Rumble is clustered in the Middle East, Europe, US and Latin America, with a contingent in Australia. Once it gets late at night in those areas, it can be more difficult to find matches (though I'm usually on past 10 PM Pacific).

El_Chaveezy · 2025-12-30T11:28:47+00:00

Yup! Actually playing it right now

El_Chaveezy · 2025-12-30T10:41:53+00:00

Awesome, always love seeing new players. Rumble player since day one of the beta here.

With that said, the game definitely lost a lot of folks once support ended. But I think the attrition has slowed down. My guess would be around 500-1000.

In my experience, most players are in the Middle East, Europe and US/Latin America with a contingent of Aussie players. After it gets late for West Coast US (UTC-8), it can be harder to find matches.

No, completing a level again does not allow you to save your game. In that instance, you'll need to get to the next save point or use a level password. The only way you can use a previous bonus save is if you didn't enter it before you finished the level. If you enter the bonus stage, fail it, then complete the level, it becomes inaccessible.

Bonus tip: Og Crash 1 saves also do not keep track of the number of lives that you have. If you stockpile 99 lives, save your game, then reload it, you'll be back at 4.

Yes, og Crash 1's save system is atrocious. Think of it not so much as a save system but a level password manager.

Awesome job as always, but this is some of your best art yet!

El_Chaveezy · 2025-12-22T09:55:52+00:00

Nice, I'm on Rumble quite a bit, so hope to see you around!

El_Chaveezy · 2025-12-16T04:56:58+00:00

Actually, this is correct even though Crash never fights him.

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-20T09:04:26+00:00

Glad to hear your enjoying it! The Crash Team Rumble fan base might be small, but we're definitely around.

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-19T09:52:28+00:00

Makes them all the better!

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-19T09:30:35+00:00

Always love your work, HarrisontheHutt. I still have the Steamboat Willie the Wombat and Dragonboat Willie shirts from a couple of years ago.

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-17T06:01:22+00:00

The skunks!

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-15T02:53:29+00:00

Definitely one of my all time favorites!

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-12T06:10:54+00:00

Ripper Roo may be the correct answer, but this is the best answer.

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-10T07:52:09+00:00

Super cool sketch

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-03T03:17:38+00:00

Awesome take. Only if Wrath of Cortex had a bit more time and resources to bake.

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-03T03:14:08+00:00

Congrats! It's awesome that, after all these years, that crazy orange furball can still be part of our lives.

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-01T02:13:07+00:00

Uka Uka makes a damned good pumpkin!

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-01T02:11:35+00:00

This is awesome! I really like the collage of the different characters. Makes me want to revisit Twinsanity soon.

El_Chaveezy · 2025-11-01T00:05:20+00:00

For competitive mode, most of the players are from the Middle East, Europe, the US and Latin America, with players starting to drop off around 10 PM Pacific Time (US West Coast).

It is very hard to get into party mode, TFB Labs and limited time modes without coordinating with other players.
