No it's the jumps from one platform to the next amidst the burning platforms and the moving obstacles; especially when there is a plant at the opposite end, I just cannot time the jump and Crash will either fall off the edge or get hit by the wooden shit..

Now, Aku Aku in Crash 1 is completely useless, enemies are practically not a problem at all... it should provide air walking to be meaningful.

I'm actually enjoying Crash 1 a whole lot. Aside from Road to Nowhere and High Road. Those levels are just absolute garbage. The game does show its age and design flaws at times, but most of the time it's still enjoyable enough that I can ignore them. These bridge levels however... I dunno how anyone could have even designed this and thought "yeah, that's a good level, let's keep it".
Having a great time otherwise though! I'm looking forward to playing 2 and Warped. I just gotta actually beat High Road first though. This is gonna take a while.

Ah, I'll look out for that then. Thanks!

I haven't noticed input lag (though I'm on Crash 2 first). The issue I've had is almost every jump has to be near pixel perfect, and unless you land completely on a platform, it's death. And the jump distance is just barely enough to complete any given gap.
I agree with this 100%. There are moments in Crash 2 where you get squished or set on fire and it just takes away Aku Aku. In Crash 1 you lose a life automatically... and have to go back to the checkpoint. Boo.

They did a great job with the remaster, but I sadly just don't find Crash 2 much fun so far. I also have Destiny The Taken King and Witcher 2 on the go, and I can't pry myself away from them for this. It's kind of just boring and frustrating IMO. I enjoyed them as a kid.
Yeah, you unlock it by getting the key from Sunset Vista's Cortex bonus round. There's no indication it opens a new level though.
Got to road to nowhere. Damn it's a hard level. Had to backtrack to get farm extra lives. Went to the Lost City and try for the Gem, get all boxes and no deaths, and was surprised how many extra lives you get from finishing the level. With both bonus around 10 live. If you only go as far as Nirtrus Brio bonus stage, easy 6 lives in about 5 minutes. Got to 99 in less than 1 hours.
LOL beat it. wasn't too bad. Let with 92 lives still. Gonna do the time trial now see if I can get good.

Oh yeah, managed to finish Slippery Climb spending only 5 lives. The final stretch was intense as fuck, this is a level ahead of Dark Souls' tension lol
I'm never going back to it I think lol
Glad to know it helped you!

Slippery Climb genuinely feels like someone forgot to add in a checkpoint somewhere along that opening first half.
Break every single box in a stage to get it's gem. To get the colored gems in Crash 1 you also have the added stipulation of not being able to die.

After the High Road bullshit level now comes Slippery Climb. Where the hell is the checkpoint?!
At the half way point of the level.

Hahaha this is great
There is a pity checkpoint near the start. It's a regular box in a window ledge for the first few lives and then becomes a checkpoint after a few deaths.
After that there's a big gap bit there are more checkpoints.
The first check point is hidden in the wall before the double bird jump. The second one is during the vertical platform bullshit. I have no idea if there's a third because I keep dying.
Reaaaaally far away lol There are only 2 or 3 in total, good luck, you'll need it

I'm so glad that level is over haha.
Stand in the middle circle and press up.

Ah, there we go. Thanks. lol
Just hit that point myself. Still a great game and easier than the original in this version. It might still be my favorite of the trilogy due to the pure platforming focus and challenge, but no doubt the second one is awesome as well.

The Lost City can bite me.
I love this collection but damn if Crash 1 isn't as frustrating as it was then. (Guess that means they did a good job)

I just beat Slippery Road. It was not as difficult as High Road, but easily close second. I hope that's it for these kinds of levels in Crash 1.

Yeah I'm skipping straight to Crash 2 & 3. My nostalgia didn't remind me of how frustrating Crash 1 is.
Hehehe. You're in the end game now. Have fun with stuff like Lights Out and The Lab.

I really don't like the first game, so I might just skip it and move onto the second.

road to nowhere is making me want to die someone please help
If it helps there's a much harder level like this later.
Also if it helps you can walk on the ropes.
I'm here too. Is there any reason not to cheese it and just walk on the ropes?

Having to break all the crates in some of the levels without dying is bullshit and not fun. Especially when if you die, you have to quit out to the map and then restart the level, meaning you have to go through two load screens. That's shitty game design. Just put a fucking restart option on the pause menu.

Got to that point in the game no problem with 30 lives and they disappeared trying to get through road to nowhere.

The purple orbs during Cortex' fight in Crash 1 have bigger than expected hitboxes

These games are a lot easier than I remember. Wish there was a new "hard mode" That disabled Aku Aku and checkpoints.
