Crash Twinsanity: Difference between revisions

Line 56:

* [[Creepy Crossdresser]]: Dr. Neo Cortex disguises himself as Coco in order to gain Crash's trust at the beginning.

{{quote|'''Cortex, in drag:''' "It's true! Blonds ''do'' have more fun!"}}

* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: Cortex is a lot more ~~invunerable~~ and can do a lot more in cutscene. While playing as him... [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|not so much.]]

* [[Dean Bitterman]]: Madame Amberly, head of the Academy of Evil, is definitely this. She's not above openly mocking her students, current or otherwise.

{{quote|'''Madame Amberly:''' "So! Crybaby Cortex is all grown up! I see you've found employment as a barber."

Line 80:

{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Victor:''' "Your failed experiment sent two innocent parrots to the ''Tenth Dimension!'' The severe reversive radioactive conditions here sharpened our skills, and ''warped'' our fragile, eggshell minds." }}}}

* [[Gag Boobs]]: Madame Amberly's bust is rather [[Squick|sickeningly ample.]]

* [[Gang Plank Galleon]]: High Seas Hijinks takes place on N. Gin's battleship, full of pirates, rats, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|~~missles~~.]]

* [[Gang Plank Galleon]]: High Seas Hijinks takes place on N. Gin's battleship, full of pirates, rats, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|missiles.]]

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Many, many times, though one of the biggest examples is [[Crowning Moment of Funny|the Moulin Cortex]].

{{quote|'''Cortex, sliding through the building:''' "Coming through! Ladies... Excuse me madam! Are those ''real''? ...'''Mother?!'''" }}

* [[Evil Me Scares Me|Good Me Scares Me]]: In the cut material, Cortex was going to be terrified by his good ~~conterpart~~ in the Tenth Dimension. In other bit of cut material, Cortex was going to ''be'' his good counterpart, and Crash his evil counterpart.

** Turned right back around to [[Evil Me Scares Me]] with Evil Crash, who's scary to everybody.

* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]: While paired up, Crash spins Cortex around, swinging him into enemies. He can also slam the flat top of his head down like a hammer, and toss him like a ~~frisbee~~.

* [[Groin Attack]]: Coco shows up at Cortex's iceberg lab, and delivers a kick to his [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|crystals.]]

{{quote|'''Coco:''' "[[You Monster!]] Let my brother go!" ''(She delivers the aforementioned kick)''

Line 99:

* [[Implacable Man]]: Cortex himself proves to be one of these, even more than in the previous games. He manages to come back from a deep freeze, survives pits of spikes, can be thrown into explosive crates, tossed into freezing water, into bottomless pits, into enemies, and all manner of other things that would kill Crash himself.

{{quote|'''Cortex:''' "Like the fleas in your fur, I keep coming back!"}}

** Subverted in that while playing as him you're just as ~~vunerable~~ as Crash is, and he can be killed in the Doc Amok stages. Also if he's left standing somewhere, waiting for Crash to join up with him again, he'll be instantly killed by any hazard that comes into contact with him. Thankfully if only Cortex dies, Crash doesn't lose a life.

* [[Incoming Ham]]: "Cower you fools before the awesome might of...The Evil Twins!"

** Dr. Cortex displays this as well.

Line 107:

* [[Load-Bearing Boss]]: After Mecha Bandicoot's defeat, the floor drops out from under it, taking Crash and Cortex with it into an [[Underground Level]].

* [[Large Ham]]: Cortex has always been somewhat hammy, but in this game, he really goes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|whole hog.]]

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: While the Crash games have never been particularly dark, Twinsanity places a greater emphasis on ~~humour~~ which would continue throughout the Radical games.

* [[Living Statue]]: The Tikimon boss. A huge, invincible, four-armed totem god, who coincidentally has [[Attack Its Weak Point|bad indigestion.]]

* [[Motor Mouth]]: Cortex is one of these momentarily, thanks to the Evil Twins' reality-warping powers.

Line 117:

* [[No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom]]: Handily averted by greatly opening up the stages and adding secret areas.

* [[Nostalgia Level]]: Most of the first world counts, specifically Jungle Rumble and Totem Hokem. The first is a throwback to the first stages of the original [[Crash Bandicoot]], and the second is a throwback to the native fortress stages, complete with a recreation of Papu-Papu's hut, [[Continuity Porn|down to the textures.]]

* [[Notable Original Music]]: The soundtrack was composed by Spiralmouth, an ~~a capella~~ group, which gives the game a very distinctive sound style, compared to all the other [[Crash Bandicoot]] games.

* [[Notice This]]: In the first half of Classroom Chaos, there are sections where you need to get to a hall monitor without being spotted. The game helps you by putting massive sparkles on the objects you need to hide behind.

* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Used during the Tikimon boss' theme. While not really Latin, it's certainly ominous.

Line 133:

* [[Scenery Porn]]: Unlike [[Crash Bandicoot the Wrath of Cortex]]'s stiff, ugly, off-model graphics, Twinsanity is very, very pretty, filled to the brim with little details, crisp textures, great character models, and good special effects.

* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: The Iceberg Lab and its stages are this, although one is a [[Gang Plank Galleon]] stage.

* [[The Starscream]]: Almost ''every'' ~~prominant~~ ally of Cortex turns on him after hearing of the Twin's supposed treasure. Dingodile even directly attacks the doctor at one point.

* [[Supervillain Lair]]: Cortex's massive Iceberg Lab.
