You never thought you'd see me do this game again huh? Well today we start a re-visitation of Crash Bash as I take on a Let's Play this time around as a way for more varied and constant content as well as the fact that CRASH BASH IS AWESOME!
NOTES:
Crash Bash is a party video game published by Sony Computer Entertainment, produced by Universal Interactive Studios (now the defunct Vivendi Games) and developed by Eurocom for the PlayStation. The game was released in North America on November 6, 2000[1] and in Europe on December 1, 2000.[2] It was re-released for the Sony Greatest Hits line-up in 2001 and for the Platinum Range on October 12, 2001.

Crash Bash is the fifth installment in the Crash Bandicoot series. It is the first Crash Bandicoot game not to be developed by Naughty Dog (who had left the series to develop the Jak and Daxter series), the last to appear on the PlayStation console, and the first in the party genre (the second being Crash Boom Bang! six years later). The game's story centers on a contest of minigames held by Aku Aku and Uka Uka to decide whether good or evil is the strongest.
The main mode of play in Crash Bash is the Adventure Mode, in which the player must win all 28 levels to complete.[4] The player wins Trophies, Crystals, and Gems by beating the different challenges of each level.[4] Certain levels require a minimum number of Trophies, Gems, or Crystals to gain entry. There are five Warp Rooms and completing all of them results in a 200% completion, although this doesn't unlock anything.[4]

Like the platformer installments of the Crash series, the player uses Warp Rooms to travel among the many levels of Crash Bash.[4] The player can access additional Warp Rooms by defeating Arena Bosses.[4] To complete the entire Adventure Mode, the player must win every Trophy, Gem, Crystal, and Relic in every arena.[4] Each arena is played in the same manner; the arena continues until one player wins three rounds; winning three rounds earns the player a Trophy.[4] After a Trophy is won in an arena, the player can return to the arena to win Gems and Crystals.[4] After any Trophy is gained in a Warp Room four arena, Gold Relics can be obtained in any previously completed level. After completion of the 25 trophies, the player can also win Sapphire Relics from any completed levels.[4] The player wins the Gold Relic after winning a level twice in a row, and a Sapphire Relic after winning three times in a row.

When a certain number of Trophies, Gems, and Crystals have been obtained, an Arena Boss Event is unlocked. In Arena Boss Events, the player battles a single powerful adversary in a certain type of minigame.[4] Defeating this boss requires the player to empty the boss' health meter.[4] The player will also have a health meter. Every time the player takes damage, his/her health meter will lose some Wumpa Fruit juice.[4] If the juice runs empty, the game will end.[4] By emptying the boss' health meter first, the player will gain access to the next Warp Room, where more arenas must be fought.
