The Naughty Dog screen is missing the dog logo. The dog barking sounds still play though.
Gameplay#
- The HUD automatically pulls up when Crash takes damage in most levels (aside from Jungle Rollers, Road to Nowhere, Generator Room, The High Road, and Fumbling in the Dark).
- The Wumpa fruit tally is also always displayed when Crash respawns.
- The level count says there are 30 levels in total instead of 32.
- You can still throw an enemy away even if they are vanishing it already from a chain combo.
- There is no ambient echo applied in the sound effects for Temple Ruins, Generator Room and Jaws of Darkness.
- Getting to at least the final Tawna Bonus Round is required for 100%.
- The password encoding is different.
- The final 100% password you get is different.
- 100% still starts you off from The Lab.
- Every password that would start you off at Dr. Neo Cortex is treated as an INVALID PASSWORD.
