Trivia

 * When Crash is blown up by a TNT crate in Crash Bandicoot, sound effects of his body parts hitting the ground can be heard. These SFX are absent in Cortex Strikes Back and Warped.
 * The sound of a didgeridoo used during the animation for Crash's Nitro Crate death in Cortex Strikes Back and Warped is the same sample used in the soundtrack for Boulders and Boulder Dash in Crash Bandicoot.
 * In Cortex Strikes Back and Warped, when Crash is killed by a fire hazard, his model from the first game is reused for the disintegration animation as opposed to the current model.
 * On the NTSC-U version of Warped, Crash's "Woah!" sound effect is missing for certain deaths, such as death by goat, being caught by the triceratops, being carried away by pterodactyls and others. This was fixed in the PAL and NTSC-J versions.
