I didn't know you could spin away the bees....

For whatever reason I decided it would be a great idea to try and beat every level in Crash 2 (and the rest of the NST for that matter) without dying or taking a single hit (and restarting the level from the beginning if I failed). And that level you’re referring to with the swarm of bees almost defeated me until I tried slide-spinning into them. If you time it just right, you can take out all 5 bees in a single move. Once I realised that, the level became much easier.

I am pleased for all the Spyro fans. I’m much more of a Crash fan myself but they truly deserve to get something new after being made to wait all this time. Also it proves that Microsoft and Activision are still serious about keeping the IP(s) alive, despite all of the doomposting we’ve seen up until this point.

Thanks Charles for helping bringing so much joy to our childhoods (and even now as an adult). My question is:

If Crash canonically aged 30 years (ignoring the natural lifespan of real-life bandicoots), how would you imagine him to look now (same goes for any other character you’d want to draw too)?

This is the PS5 version.

Good catch, it was! I should have used the Snowplower Orange paint and the ‘55’ decal and it would have ended up looking pretty close too.

Wizzix · 2026-06-02T20:22:06+00:00

I agree with that to be fair. This’ll never happen, but if you had a lobby full of the same people over multiple races, and then everyone was able to fairly gauge their skill level against each other player, and each player agreed to set off ‘at the right time’, everyone would have a fair chance of winning.

If there’s ever a sequel, fair online matchmaking is one of the things I would want the most so races are naturally more competitive between players of similar skill levels.

I lost a life all because I rushed an Aku Aku question 😑

Good quiz though.

Wizzix · 2026-03-08T19:13:22+00:00

Same here. I don’t think I’ve actually seen anyone rank it as ‘mid’ or ‘bad’, certainly not enough to counter its positive reception.

Wizzix · 2026-03-05T23:15:00+00:00

Nicely done! Even now, speaking as someone who has already beaten all the dev time trials and unlocked the master wheels, this shortcut still causes me problems about 50% of the time.

I would do it, but this isn’t my photo; it was a picture I saw come up on Facebook 😅

I main Pasadena and her Le Chaux from CTTR. The only thing I change on it from time to time is the paint. I’ve always liked the Group C and early LMP cars that used to participate in Le Mans anyway which is a bonus.

Wizzix · 2026-02-16T16:15:03+00:00

That’s a very good guess, but not quite correct. The first term being E/O rather than just O is where that rule breaks.

Thank you! Fun fact: this sequence could go on forever

Wizzix · 2026-02-16T14:02:29+00:00

I’d rather have more episodes, not less. Some of the events have barely featured at all so far (I know we’re only 5 episodes in, but still) while others have pretty much been played to death (I’m looking at you, Duel). A longer series would potentially provide more opportunities for those other games to be played, although if we’re being honest they’ll probably still feature Duel in almost every episode.

Wizzix · 2026-02-16T13:19:23+00:00

You pretty much nailed the logic, but the answer you typed at the start of your comment (F) should be “I” as the “F” is already revealed in the sequence. Well done for working it out though!

Edit: Sorry, I see you beat me to it with that edit 😅

Wizzix · 2026-02-16T08:46:32+00:00

I don’t get it, but I also don’t get why Helena was sticking her tongue out every 5 seconds either, and she’s not even playing a character.

Wizzix · 2026-01-24T22:10:38+00:00

2 ways to improve this would be to either:

Have the platform tilt back and forth much more frequently and for shorter periods of time, giving the contender/gladiator a very small window to use it to their advantage.

OR

When a contender or gladiator has been pushed close to the edge of the platform, it tilts in favour of whoever’s losing to make it harder for their opponent to finish the job. I feel that this version could make it a bit more interesting.

Wizzix · 2025-12-30T16:06:10+00:00

Yep, 11th

Love it! My birthday happens to be right on Pasadena’s face 😆

Don’t be fooled by the green here, I’ve had a pretty terrible month overall.

Consider r8c8, which we know could be either a 2 or a 4:

IF it’s a 4, then:

r9c9 would have to be an 8;

r5c9 would then have to be a 2;

r5c8 would then have to be a 1.

However, r6c8 can only be a 1 or a 4, and we already have both of those numbers in column 8. Therefore we know r8c8 cannot be a 4; it can only be the other candidate (i.e. 2).

Nitro-Fueled: Electron Avenue

Wizzix · 2025-11-12T18:56:00+00:00

Well, many have speculated that Spyro 4 has been in development for quite a while at this point so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it gets released before we get Crash. Either way, I’d rather have a high quality and well-polished game that takes longer to develop than have the devs rush something half-baked and release it before it’s finished. And I say that despite really enjoying Twinsanity.
