Crash: Warped "Alpha Demonstration" [August 1998] - Hot Coco / "Ski Crazed" (Gem + Relic)
This is the Alpha Demo of Crash: Warped and one of the hidden levels Hot Coco known in this build as "Ski Crazed", which is a different level entirely in the final release.
I decided to showcase this off as it's not available and I don't believe anyone has shown a video about this level yet.
Update: To avoid tools, you can access this level using the Debug Menu.
Input in the Pause Menu: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Circle
---------
You are unable to access this level through the normal method of entering Road Crash and driving into the Alien Sign as it doesn't exist in the build.
As mentioned earlier this is Hot Coco in everything but name. All of its data was moved onto new files for the final game.
At 1:20 the bomb formations was changed. The bombs form a U-shape in this build, whereas in the final game it's only the 2 parallel lines.
With the exception of checkpoint crates, every crate is a 3 second time crate instead of 2 second.
If you pause the game, the level is called "SKI3" and the pause menu says this is level 27.

I may show a few more of the somewhat different levels content wise in the future but we'll see on that one.
Spikestuff why is this 4k?
Cause dithering.
Followup Question. Why not use the Dither removal?
Well you might as well go to a YouTube channel that's using some plugin garbage then.
But in all seriousness it's to show off the dithering applied to the game and 4k is unfortunately the only resolution where the bitrate won't get destroyed.
