Six and a half years. Countless speedrunners. One goal: to push the N. Sane Trilogy version of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped to its absolute limit.

And finally, thank you all for watching. This was by far the most time-and-energy consuming video I've made, but it was absolutely worth it to have this game's story finally be told. I really hope it can mean just as much to some of you as it does to me.

    I hope the runners that retired from this game found themselves at a nice big island. With a nice big drink, and a woman with nice big... Bags of ice for their head.
  • It's kinda weird yet awesome to see myself being enshrined in something Crash-related, much less speedrunning even lol. It's awesome to see so many people improve onto sub 50 even just from the Mach Tornado discovery alone. Abdulling was such a terrible sounding name for a move 😂, hence why I opted for Hyper Spin at the time. Beautiful compilation of so many great people. Will want to come back and knock some stuff around in Crash 2 and 3 sometime.

    48:12 "By May, both Potty and Groovy were going at it together" Love truly can bloom anywhere, even in the Crash Bandicoot 3 N. Sane Trilogy Any% category
  • @ThaRixer
    So many lovely playstation nation lads all in 1 spectacular video. Great job riko, you picked a really cool category to cover, and you did extremely well on the story telling. Keep it up if you plan to do more 😊
  • @AMetalWorld
    Bro Potty really hit that sub 40 and said “maybe I should just retire to a big beautiful beach somewhere with a beautiful woman with two big bags of ice for my head” 😭😭
  • Amazing video. I love these history of run videos. Seeing all the different runners come and leave, records pass from person to the next, and minute barriers thought impossible become possible as they continue to push forward for the next barrier to break. It’s cool to see how these runners were able to push the game to it’s limit and you did a great job conveying that story.
  • @HunterReign
    This is really cool. I remember being in the crash speed running discord and asking for some help and you gave me genuine great advice and now to see you putting some some content is really cool and inspiring. Keep it up.
  • @McCrodi
    A wild journey, saying as someone who's been here since it started, watched how it evolved and tried looking for stuff to break the game even further, nice job Riko :)
  • @potty9364
    Nice video Riko actually popped off when Groovy showed up
  • What a masterpiece of a video!!! I LOVED IT. I had never really seen much of the crash 3 nst runs since its not really one of my favorite games on the trilogy but this video really made me appreciate the game and the run as a whole, I literally started the video and didn't move out of my seat till the end. Keep up the good work man!!! This video was fire!!!
  • @ViolinSpeedruns
    Phenomenal video, really enjoyed seeing the journey that this game has gone through!
  • @scantyer
    Its amazing how 2 of these tricks, hobsliding and the underwater clip, were found by complete accident.
  • @bubblebass2166
    I'm glad to see your youtube popping off. You deserve it for how much time you've dedicated to the series over the years. And to me, you seem like great guy from all the streams I've watched. Keep up the great work my man.
  • @Edlandish
