This is a sub-page of Proto:Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

The September 26th, 1998 prototype of Crash Bandicoot: Warped is a review version of the game dated around two weeks before the final NTSC-U release version. It was released on April 17th, 2021.

Cheat Features#

Cheat Menu#

This build contains a small menu that can be accessed by inputting Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Circle while the game is paused. There are five features to be seen: GET ALL, GET RELICS, OPEN LEVELS, ALLOW CAM, and NO CHEATS.

• GET ALL: Gives 25 crystals and 25 Sapphire relics from the start, as well as all colored gems and all abilities for Crash.
  • Notably, Tomb Time is the only level where the crystal is not retrieved when enabling this. Instead, a crystal will be assigned to ID 09, which does not belong to any level.
• GET RELICS: Gives 25 Sapphire relics from the start.
• OPEN LEVELS: Unlocks all areas of the warp room. Logically not available if you are not in the warp room.
  • NO CHEATS: Locks the open areas. It only appears when the "OPEN LEVELS" option is enabled.
• ALLOW CAM: Does nothing. In earlier builds, this option enabled a free camera with the second controller.

Level Stats#

Holding R2 and opening a level portal lets you see time trial leaderboards without the level's crystal, but also shows a fourth value set in the bottom right corner. It applies to all levels, including bosses. This fourth set flashes between two categories:

• The first set displays the number of deaths and the playtime of the level before the level's crystal is retrieved.
• The second set displays two time trial values referred to as B and G. The B value stands for "bronze" and counts how many times you entered the mode before obtaining any relic, while the G value stands for "gold" and counts how many times you entered the mode after obtaining a Sapphire relic. Once you have obtained a Gold or Platinum relic, the game will stop tracking the level.

Debug Mode#

To enable debugging features, you can turn on debug mode with the following GameShark code:

80069010 0100

General Differences#

Startup#

• The game starts with a warning screen labeling this review as a Beta Demonstration Disc and explicitly prohibiting any duplication or distribution of the disc content.
• In the Naughty Dog box screen, Aku Aku's sound effect plays at the end of the animation.
• You can skip the Sony and Universal startup screens as soon as they show up. In the final game, you must wait until the announcer stops talking.
• The logo animation features different sound effects.
  • You cannot skip the logo animation.
  • The buzz sound effect is missing.
• Demo mode has different inputs.
  • Tiny Tiger, Tomb Wader, and Midnight Run demos are not present.

Gameplay#

Sep 26	Final	Japanese

• Character icons are mostly the same, aside from Crash and Coco's, which are seemingly styled after Crash 2 in terms of size and shading:
  • Crash's icon is a higher-res variant of his life icon - a re-drawn version of which is in fact used in the Japanese version.
  • Coco's icon is closest in pose to her pause menu icon, only with a green flower in her hair as opposed to blue, and rather rough shading.
  • Tiny, Dingodile, N. Tropy, N. Gin, and Cortex's icons feature a rough outline.

Sep 26	Final

• The Time Twister's portal graphic features a totally different design for the load/save screen. The fifth chamber also seems to be missing.
• The music does not fade out when entering a portal.
• All music tracks are in mono, regardless of the output option.
• The bonus round and alternate route music tracks do not loop properly and they just start over.
• Music volume defaults to 100% as opposed to 75%.
• Coco does not blink her eyes in any of her animations.
• The music volume in the cutscenes are erroneously applied to the game's music settings even after they have ended. This results in the game starting with the music volume set to 50% after the opening cutscene.
  • Skipping the opening at certain points can make the music volume go even lower.
• Double jumps can be only chained once with enemy and object bounces.
• Crash's spin range is smaller while hanging on meshes, like in Crash 2.
• The angel death animation reuses the wing flapping sound from Crash 2.
• The sound of swallows chirping when flying away does not play properly for the majority of them.
• Skipping a boss cutscene while they are talking will cause the audio to continue playing afterwards.
• Super Powers do not make a sound effect when showing up.
• Vibration option (labeled "Vibr." instead) is available at all times, regardless of the controller used.
• The Fruit Bazooka has some differences:
  • Crash does not pull the bazooka in the direction he is currently facing, and tends to pull it forward in most areas.
  • You have to wait until the animation of Crash putting the bazooka away ends before you can actually start moving after using it.
  • Wumpa shots will despawn as soon as Crash puts the bazooka away.
  • The Wumpa explosion visual effect shares the same one as the TNT explosion.
• Many objects can be seen through scenery, objects, or walls. For example, Crash's body can be seen through lifting platforms.
• The game over screen features the blue background from Crash 2.
  • The clock in the logo turns black for a brief second after returning to the title screen through a game over.
• When you quit the game, the music and FX volumes will remain at their current values, rather than resetting to default - aside from the opening cutscene, which always resets the FX volume to default.
• The highest percentage you can normally achieve is 104%. The final 45th clear gem that spawns in the center of the warp room after collecting all relics (Gold or higher) is not present.
  • The total amount of gems and relics in the pause menu does not increment when getting the remaining collectibles from Hot Coco and Eggipus Rex.
• Fake Crash's cameos are visible from the start, rather than appearing after the game has been completed.

Time Trial#

• Time crates do not count when destroyed by nearby explosions.
• Locked crates can still provide Wumpa fruit.
• The music volume will decrease during the Enter Name screen just like in the final game, but it will not reset to normal when restarting a level. This effect is cumulative, and one can make the volume go down to 0% by repeating the time trial multiple times.

• Most of the Platinum relic times are harder in this version.

Levels#

Medieval Levels#

  • Dinosaur skulls in the scenery have an extra hole in front of the eye sockets.
  • Ground textures are different, featuring a different grass shape, with small rings inside.
    • They also lack a proper transition to the swamp floor around chase sections.
• If Crash gets caught by the triceratops while in mid-air, his flattened body will remain floating.
• Time crates do not count if broken by triceratops.
• Crash can still be killed by the triceratops even after it has stopped moving if you get too close.

  • Performing the super body slam on the shield can cause Crash to get stuck inside the lab assistant.
• Timed doors do not make any sound when they come down.

Orange Asphalt#

• It shares the same portal graphic as Road Crash.

  • The true ending pre-fight cutscene reuses the animations of the normal ending cutscene, but plays the audio from the second one, resulting in the dialogue to continue even after the battle starts.
  • Skipping the cutscenes will result in a glitch where the camera goes out of bounds.
  • Holding Triangle before the level starts triggers a glitch where the pre-fight cutscene plays during gameplay while you are able to move around.

Area 51?#

Sep 26	Final

• The UFO model in the portal features a dark blue color with red lights and stripes around it. This model matches the one seen in the save file icon in the final game.
