Trivia

 * The game being released in 2017 makes it coincide with the 20th anniversary of the release of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.
 * It marks the first time that Tawna has an actual speaking role.
 * The game is the first game in which Wumpa Fruit can be seen inside bounce crates without breaking the boxes.
 * In Crash Bandicoot, in the intro cutscene, there was a mistake where Doctor N. Brio doesn't move his mouth while talking. It has been fixed in the N. Sane Trilogy.
 * Also, in that same cutscene, N. Brio can be seen with a beaker containing unidentified chemicals, twice in the original version (the first time, he is seen mixing a beaker of purple chemicals with a beaker of green chemicals while Cortex is mutating Crash; the second time, he is holding the beaker that contains the purple chemicals as he is raising Crash into the Cortex Vortex), whereas in the N. Sane Trilogy, the beakers are completely absent.
 * On another note, in the original cutscene, Cortex is only physically seen twice (the first time is when he mutates Crash, and the second time is when he's chasing Crash to recapture him after the Cortex Vortex fails to turn him evil), whereas in the N. Sane Trilogy, he is seen more frequently.
 * Interestingly, when comparing the original cutscene to the remastered cutscene, certain aspects of the original cutscene (such as dialogue and actions) seem sped up/rushed in comparison to those in the remastered cutscene.
 * The crate counter will now be in the first game to see how many crates Crash broke.
 * Time trials will be in the first two games instead of the third one only.
 * This is the Komodo Brothers's first appearance since Crash Bash (not counting their cameos in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Joe's cameo in Crash Nitro Kart).
 * This is Pinstripe Potoroo, and Dr. Nefarious Tropy's first appearance since Crash Boom Bang!, Tawna's first appearance since her cameo in Crash Mind Over Mutant and Koala Kong and Papu Papu's first appearance since Crash Twinsanity.
 * In addition, if Fake Crash, Baby T, Penta Penguin and Pura were to reappear in this game, this would make Fake Crash's first appearance since Skylanders Imaginators, Pura´s first appearance since Crash Boom Bang!, Penta Penguin´s first appearance since his cameo in Crash Of The Titans and Baby T's first appearance since his only official appearance in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (not counting his cameos in Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash).


 * In a promotional picture of the characters, Koala Kong is relatively bigger compared to other characters. Komodo Joe has been made taller and Komodo Moe has been made short.
 * Both Wumpa Fruit and Crash's life icon will glow if the player collects Wumpa Fruit and extra lives.
 * Aku Aku has four feathers now instead of five.
 * The trilogy will contain auto-saving for Crash 1, replacing its obsolete save system.
 * Crunch Bandicoot and Nina Cortex are the only main characters not to return in the N. Sane Trilogy, this is because they didn't debut in the original trilogy, but in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Crash Twinsanity respectively. Also the mutants of Crash Of the Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant such as Yuktopus and Ratcicle due to not debuting in the original trilogy but in their respectives games.
 * The most of the cast is the same cast who voiced the characters in Crash Nitro Kart, Crash Tag Team Racing, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, Crash Twinsanity, Crash Of The Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant. None of the original voices who were featured in Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash returned to the N. Sane Trilogy. The same case was for the appearances of the characters in Skylanders Imaginators.
 * A notable exception is Nolan North not returning to voice Doctor N. Gin for unknown reasons, who is instead voiced by Corey Burton like in The Wrath of Cortex.
