History AwesomeMusic / CrashBandicoot

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtHQzJkDMz4 Bearminator]] is a off-beat, bouncy track that jumps between feelings of fun and danger for the second boss fight.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fPLVflqAAw& The Great Gate (Collection Run)]] is now an upbeat and energetic mariachi tune.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR0RGveOo2I Off-Beat]], which is fitting, considering that even the level design is very music-themed. It's jazzy, upbeat and incredibly catchy, especially on the rail riding segments.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxqtANxEywo A Hole In Space]], the music that plays when you [[spoiler: battle N. Tropy and his female counterpart]]. It starts out mysterious and almost menacing yet still epic and then it transitions into a cool electronic beat that manages to mix in [[spoiler: N. Tropy's boss fight music from "Warped"]].

* If there's one thing every ''Crash'' fan loves about ''Twinsanity'', it's the soundtrack kindly provided by the [=ACapella=] band Spiralmouth, whose quirky charm still shines through after all these years. For instance, [[https://youtu.be/oGH3l-IgAtQ N. Sanity Island]] gets a bouncy, almost ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie''-esque theme.

* Next EternalEngine level, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlaIX-cKJbU Fahrenheit Frenzy]], has great theme that might as be audible NightmareFuel, fittingly for a level inside a volcano.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJIvc0eDHOQ Tsunami]] starts off an atmospheric Asian melody before breaking into a tense techno rave. Very fitting for a quiet little Japanese centric level that suddenly breaks into a terrible flood.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hndVXQ5DQNw The Eel Deal/Sewer or Later/Hanging Out, has a good mix of bass and pipes that fluctuates tempo quite effectively.

* The water levels tend to have very good music. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIsJgI2L90c H2 Oh No]] combines it with a reactor level and one of the best underwater music tracks of the series while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl8ft0S0P-8 Sea Shell Shenanigans]] has a nice relaxing New Age feel and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=055EaT8NhWw Coral Canyons]] has a more tense and atmospheric theme.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_GAkH4VfpU Crash and Burn]] has a nice exotic feel with it's intense Tribal Drums.

* Despite the underwater controls being absolutely terrible, the water levels tend to have very good music. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIsJgI2L90c H2 Oh No]] combines it with a reactor level and one of the best underwater music tracks of the series.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLWXKdJjhpY Turtle Woods (Collection Run)]] is a track that doesn't even really sound like ''Crash Bandicoot'' music as it uses a lot of rock guitar that fits more in a ''[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' game.
* Even the normal [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t5tKcn885U Turtle Woods]] music sounds pretty great and even borrows the main theme from the first ''Crash Bandicoot'' game.

!!Fan Remixes
* Released to coincide with the ''[[VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy N. Sane Trilogy]]'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7flYUW9-A_M The Ooda-Booga Boogie]]" is an awesome rap by Music/JTMusic that covers the events of all three games.
** To commemorate the release of ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime'', JT Music made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_CiHyPGG6k follow-up to "The Ooda-Booga Boogie"]], rivaling the original in good vibes.
* Pretty much all of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBzJm6gnhnFq5qvzFdFpDlw B13CW's]] remixes are very well styled and match the themes of the games perfectly. Highlights include their remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paV8gJn5nFc Crash Cove]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN46hp2NgLI&t=10s Cortex Castle]], both of which sound like they were ripped from an HD remake of CTR that ''doesn't exist'' ([[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled at the time, anyway]]).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIla5SrWrgkJxZwtdGu3ddA Tolkuton]] and his other [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ExtraTolkutonta/feed channel]] on Website/YouTube has made symphonic epic metal remixes for some of the music in the first four Crash games.
** His most well known one is an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKqswWZ0Tz0 epic remix of Cortex's theme from the first three games]] and it is subtitled as the ultimate epic metal remix for a reason. It takes everything great about the Cortex themes (especially ''Warped''[='=]s) and turns it UpToEleven. It also includes sounds and dialogue from the games themselves, placed in a way to make it very memorable. It even has an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzgV5oTQHzw animated music video]] made by a fan and was used for the final level of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' fan mod ''Crash Bandicoot: The Return of Dr. Cortex''.
** His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsWSFmsX3aU epic remix of the Jetpack Levels theme]] from ''Cortex Strikes Back'' opens as a fairly updated version of the theme, then a minute in, it makes it sound like Crash is taking the most epic jetpack ride ever. Now [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-KnEo06hjk remastered and extended]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzEFCurR4hZ5BlemBanI05A NPCarlsson's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQoM5kw4z1I "Activate the Dancebot"]], a hilarious parody remix of Cascada's "Evacuate the Dancefloor" sung by Cortex (with some help from N. Gin and [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog Dr. Robotnik]]) about how his Dancebot will conquer the world and defeat Crash. As a bonus, [[https://twitter.com/LexLang/status/1253104490821021697 Lex Lang approved of it!]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcF3OFr2K8E Neo Cortex]] theme (unless you're playing the Japanese version in which case it's replaced with a different theme, but that one could also pass as crowning music depending on your taste) is one of many, and would inspire 2 and 3's equally badass Cortex themes. This one is the most sinister sounding one, and definitely suits the mood of facing the mad doctor one-on-one.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ_xmZKEOTA The Komodo Bros theme]]. The [[EnsembleDarkhorse darkhorse]] duo of Crash Bandicoot 2 probably won't take too long to beat, but they make quite the performance.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5lwi9Y6px4 Dot Dash]] is actually a remix of Dingodile's theme from Crash Bandicoot 3, giving the original that extra kick.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm49I5BXWsg Stay Frosty]], the second snow level, brings out the big guns: incorporating elements of Cortex's fight from 2 and the beloved Snow Go theme for something new with a nostalgic kick that works perfectly.
