Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

• Stopwatches were originally iron stopwatch crates, having an outline box before collecting a crystal.
• Under Pressure music is slightly different. It has different mixing and glitches out at the beginning.

• Checkpoints crates also don't play the choir sound effect when opened, once again like Crash 2.
• The warp out sound is from Crash 2.
• The portal design for entering and exiting levels is different. featuring an older design for the Time Twister Warp Room.

  • Makin' Waves is named Aye Matey.
  • Road Crash is named Roadkill.
  • Sphynxinator in named Sphynxter.
