TooneySA's Crash League 1 - Challenge 3 - NST2 Minimum Crates - 80 Crates
4This is an archived livestream from the 15th May, 2025.
Notes
After a recount I ended up with 80 Crates. I counted 8 in Cold Hard Crash that I shouldn't have done (the two at 50:15 which I saw 4 times).
Kinda horrific run to be honest but since a few people got Game Overs there were some free points already by just finishing, so I took it conservative in places.
Crate Breakdown
Air Crash: 2 [2 Total] 1 by accident, 1 I probably should have tried to avoid but it's difficult
Crash Crush: 1 [3 Total] 1 by accident
The Eel Deal: 2 [5 Total] 2 for safety, though maybe a bit of an overreaction to deaths
Plant Food: 6 [11 Total] 1 from being too conservative trying to keep a mask, 4 NITROs big mistake, 1 by enemy easily avoidable
Bear Down: 5 [16 Total] 4 unavoidable, 1 checkpoint to play it safe in case of death and having to get the unavoidable ones again
Road to Ruin: 3 [19 Total] 3 by enemy which were easily avoidable
Hangin' Out: 13 [32 Total] 12 unavoidable, 1 checkpoint to play it safe in case of death and having to get the unavoidable ones again
Cold Hard Crash: 35 [67 Total] An astronomical clusterf***, not even gonna break it down
Ruination: 6 [73 Total] 5 TNTs by accident, 1 Aku by enemy
Bee-Having: 2 [75 Total] 2 by enemy easily avoidable
Piston it Away: 1 [76 Total] 1 Aku for safety
Spaced Out: 1 [77 Total] 1 by accident
Night Fight: 3 [80 Total] 3 by enemy easily avoidable
Challenge Rules
For this challenge, you must beat Crash Bandicoot 2 on the N. Sane Trilogy breaking as few crates as possible. The in-game counter is ignored, criteria listed below:
Only the crates that break as a result of your actions count. For example: spinning an enemy into a crate, hitting the NITRO detonator, setting off a TNT and any crate being destroyed as a result, etc,
Crates that are broken by the environment or automatically destroyed without player interaction do not count. For example: boulders, the TNTs on the Polar levels, etc,
The counter does not reset if you die, so if you break the same crate twice, that counts as 2.
Attempt starts when selecting New Game and ends when Cortex is defeated,
One attempt only and you cannot Game Over, otherwise you fail the challenge.
Thanks for watching. :)
