Crash Bandicoot: Quality of Life
A small hack by TechieSaru that makes the first Crash Bandicoot's gem hunting far less punishing: dying no longer wipes out your crate progress or your chance at the gem.
What it is
In the original Crash Bandicoot, a level's gem demands breaking every crate without losing a life, and dying respawns crates and enemies. This hack by TechieSaru removes that frustration.
What changes
- crates you have broken and enemies you have defeated stay that way after you die
- losing a life no longer disqualifies you from earning the level's gem
Everything else plays as in the original game.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the hack's page. A separate fix by starlightbotanist corrects the disc's error-correction data so the patched game also works on real hardware.
