Trivia

 * 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 voices are mostly those from The Wrath of Cortex, or later games.  This is also the case with the appearances of the characters in Skylanders: Imaginators.
 * 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 voices Dingodile instead.
 * 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.
 * This is the Komodo Brothers' 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 it is not an official Crash Bandicoot title).
 * 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 canon reason for Coco's playability is that she used the Time Twister Machine to go back in time and help Crash in his first two adventures.
 * Unlike the Pura levels in Crash 3, the Time Trial clock does not stop when Crash is dismounted in the Polar levels in Crash 2.
 * Naughty Dog themselves are referenced three times; twice during the opening for the second game and once during the opening for the third game.
 * An asteroid 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 scene in the game that referenced Crash Bandicoot in the form a Easter Egg mini-game based on the Boulders level.
 * A picture of Nathan Drake can be seen on the fireplace in the Bandicoot House during the third game's opening.
 * All references to Naughty Dog are removed outside the PlayStation 4 version.
 * The Orange Gem appears in the second game's secret ending, despite it never appearing in any other Crash game after the original. The model is also incorrect; it's the same as a clear gem, rather than its original model.
 * In Warped, standing in the top left corner of Tiny Tiger's boss fight arena can be used to avoid all lions running. In this game, getting into that spot will make the spectator Lab Assistants throw cheese at you as an easter egg, as it would be "cheesing" the fight.
 * The Relic Trophy names from the third game are references to Crash Team Racing commercials from 1999. Some fans speculated that this hinted at a CTR remake in the near future, but such plans have yet to be confirmed.
 * Unlike the original games on PlayStation, this game received an "E10+" rating by the ESRB while the original game received an "E" ("K-A" rating was before being renamed in 1998).
 * The game received the "E-10+" rating for "Cartoon Violence" and "Comic Mischief".
 * The summary on the ESRB's website explains this about the assigned rating:
 * This is a platformer game in which players assume the role of Crash Bandicoot as he works to foil a villain's plot. Players traverse platforms and defeat enemies and bosses in order to progress the story. Crash can jump on enemies' heads or use a spin attack to knock enemies out. Some sequences allow players to pilot a plane and shoot at enemy blimps causing them to explode. Boss battles involve more protracted combat. One boss character wears an outfit that reveals a slightly exposed buttocks (e.g., "plumber's crack").
 * Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is the first Crash Bandicoot game to ever be released on PC and Steam.
 * Originally the release date for Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy on multiple platforms was July 10th. But it's release was pushed forward to June 29th.
 * The UK will have a limited edition version sold at the retailer GAME for £54.99 on the PS4, Xbox One & Switch, Which includes a Cardboard Crash Crate with Crash Bandicoot Merchandise inside.
