Crash Team Racing

Crash Team Racing (1999)

There is a persistent rumor that N. Oxide was intended to be a playable character, unlocked through completing various tasks and beating certain records in the game. Although he can be selected using a cheat device, he is extremely buggy, and will most likely crash the game. According to the developers, they once considered making him a playable character, but were unable to due to the extremely limited memory of the Playstation, and his boss level was designed with those limitations in mind in order to make him functional.

Franchise: Crash Bandicoot

After Crash Tag Team Racing was transferred to Radical Entertainment, Traveller's Tales Oxford began working on their own game starring Cortex. They put forth several proposals, but were not given the go-ahead to develop any of them.

Prospective titles were "Cortex Chaos" and "The All-New Cortex Show", and gameplay may have involved him ordering clones or robots around, similar to Pikmin. Cortex would have been kicked out of the Evil Scientist league for "fraternizing" with Crash during the events of Twinsanity, and the other evil doctors, led by N. Tropy, would have been the primary antagonists.

In multiplayer, if one player kills another with a vehicle, the HUD may say that they "gouranga'd" the other player. This is a reference to the original Grand Theft Auto, where if the player runs over a line of Hare Krishnas, they get a Gouranga bonus.

There are four different types of pizza in the game data: "speedy", "whirly", "sappy", and "energy". Only the energy pizza is used, and restores health. The other three might have been used to give different power-ups, and are color-coded for each of the four turtles. The rom even includes unused sprites of Donatello holding and firing a laser pistol.

The Famicom Disk System release uses different battle music than that of the cartridge release for the NES. The reason for this change is unknown. The song was eventually remixed and used as the mini-boss theme in The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap.

While playing as the Joker in Multplayer mode, if Robin is detected in the area, The Joker will say, "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, my bad, it's a bird." This is a reference to the famous Superman tagline, "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Superman!"

In the Japanese version, entering "おわひ" (Apology in Japanese) will reveal the hidden message "ぱすわーどがながくてすみません" (Sorry the Password is so long), presumably a message from the developers, apologising for the game's up to 104 character long passwords.

GX has an unused course named st00 in the stage folder of the ROM. It will call the assets from Sand Ocean with the track Screw Drive (Aeropolis) when unarchived or viewed through GX's model viewer debug option. Strangely, though, when using either cheat codes to access the stage in-game or using the game's debug stage viewer, it will only load universal assets such as zippers and the starting gate, along with the collision data of Twist Road (Mute City). However, it does not appear to be a test course, but it's purpose appears to be to prevent the game from crashing when starting up the stage viewer, as it always loads st00.

There are a grand total of 6 unused tracks present in the game's data. One called "Horseshoe Gulch" can be accessed using a cheat device, and seems to be used for the title screen intro. Two of the other maps seem to be early versions of Hot Top Volcano. Another, simply called Cube Test, is also found within the data of Jet Force Gemini and Mickey's Speedway USA.

Originally, there was to be a mini quest for Spyro to retrieve Ignitus' battle armor from the "Ape Wars" shortly after meeting him. Neither the background story nor the quest made it in the final game, although the models were used as decoration throughout the swamp.

Nearly all of the items that could invoke magic spells were made inaccessible in the western release titled Final Fantasy II, as well as the subsequent Japan-only Easy Type release. Still retained were the FireBomb/Red Fang and the Lit-Bolt/Blue Fang, which are shown in the opening demonstration battles. The Lit-Bolt/Blue Fang item cannot be found in the game itself, however. Additionally, all of the items intended to cure a single status effect were also been made inaccessible, replaced by the Heal/Heal-All Potion, which was made cheaper in stores. Many treasure chests, shop inventories, and monster drops were modified to remove these dummied items.

The card "Vampire Hunter" is likely based off of the Belmont family from Castlevania. The castle from Castlevania is seen in the background of the card's art, and its translated Japanese name is Vampire Killer, the name of the Belmont family's whips.

The first two Sigma stages are both remakes of stages from other Mega Man games.

Stage 1 is a remake of Quick Man's stage in Mega Man 2. The boss, Black Devil, could be seen as a remake/redesign of the Yellow Devil from the original Mega Man, as both are weak against electric weapons. Once his health is low enough, the Black Devil will also turn into the Wily Machine 6 from Mega Man 6.

Stage 2 is a remake of Stage 1 of Sigma's Fortress from the original Mega Man X, and the boss is Rangda Bangda from the same game.

Wart Jr.'s name has two possible origins. It could be based on the myth that touching frogs or toads causes warts, as he is a toad, or it could also be a reference to Wart, the final boss of Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic, as he is another frog character.

Mr. Resetti was added into the game when developers noticed that, during play testing of Animal Crossing, many players were resetting their consoles to let the stock in Tom Nook's store change. They felt that this was toying too much with the game's mechanics and added Mr. Resetti in to discourage this behavior.
