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 properly seen inside bounce crates without breaking the boxes.
 * The crate counter are now in the first game to see how many crates Crash broke.
 * Time trials are all 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!, Koala Kong and Papu Papu's first appearance since Crash Twinsanity, Pura's first appearance since Crash Nitro Kart 2, and Baby T's first appearance since his only official appearance in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
 * In addition, this is Fake Crash's first appearance since Crash Boom Bang! (not counting his appearance in Skylanders: Imaginators since that wasn't an official Crash Bandicoot game).
 * 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 shorter.
 * 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, his goatee is now made of green leaves.
 * The trilogy contains auto-saving for Crash 1, replacing its obsolete save system.
 * The majority 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.
 * One notable exception is Nolan North not returning to voice Doctor N. Gin for unknown reasons, instead being voiced by Corey Burton who did the voice in The Wrath of Cortex.
 * Also despite returning to voice Papu Papu in the trilogy, Dwight Schultz doesn't voice Dingodile like he did in Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Twinsanity. Fred Tatasciore voiced Dingodile instead.
 * In the original version of the second game, Crash's appearance was updated slightly, giving it a more expressive and defined appearance. In the remastered version of the second game however, Crash's appearance seems unchanged from the remastered version of the first game. Also his remastered model looks like a combination of his Naughty Dog models, albeit much more detailed, expressive and defined, rather than being based on a specific Naughty Dog model.
 * As revealed at E3 2017, Coco Bandicoot is a fully playable character in all games of the trilogy.
 * This marks her first ever time appearing in the first game. And the first time she is playable in the first and second games.
 * The canon reason for her playability is that she used the Time Twister Machine to go back in time and help Crash in his first two adventures.
 * Naughty Dog themselves are referenced three times; twice during the opening for the second game and once during the opening for the third game.
 * A crater bearing the Naughty Dog paw print has been added during the introduction of Cortex's space station.
 * Coco's computer screen during the opening features a scene from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, which was developed by Naughty Dog.
 * The game referenced Crash Bandicoot in the form a Easter Egg mini-game based on the Boulders stage.
 * A picture of Nathan Drake can be seen on the fireplace in the Bandicoot House during the third game's opening.
 * The boss fight against N. Gin in the second game had no animation for Crash throwing Wumpa Fruits. This has been fixed in N Sane Trilogy.
 * The Orange Gem appears in the Crash 2 secret ending, despite it never appearing in any other Crash game after the original. The model is incorrect, it's the same as a clear gem, rather than it's original model. It is speculated that it could be introduced in a later DLC pack.Gem Column'.PNG
