(RebeccaTheSorceress (talk) 18:24, June 27, 2014 (UTC)) Welcome to Crash Bandicoot Wikia. (RebeccaTheSorceress (talk) 18:24, June 27, 2014 (UTC))

Lightning
I saw your edit on the Polar Push page. The music for the lightning lasts for 10 seconds, not 15, and then everyone gets zapped. Here's a video that is good to see this easily if you don't want to go into your game.

[//www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ0IXLGIHa0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ0IXLGIHa0]

I believe I checked that it is 10 in Tilt Panic and Manic Panic a while back as well, when I got time information on every special item in the game. If it is 15 seconds in your game, then there must be a difference between versions, which would be odd.Ntropydude (talk) 06:18, November 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Doesn't the anvil song end shorter than the lightning's anyway? That is why I thought it was 15. Maybe I messed it up with the cooldown of the zapper thing (20 seconds if I remember. 13:46, November 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * In Polar Push arenas, the anvil and lightning both last for 10 seconds.  The players remain zapped for 6 seconds.  There is a shorter version of the anvil song, used in Space Bash and Snow Bash, which lasts 8 seconds in those arenas, so maybe that's what you were thinking of. - Ntropydude (talk) 19:02, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

Colored gems in N-Tranced
I just double checked, and you do need the colored gems to unlock the N. Tropy boss fight in N-Tranced. In those three secret levels, the colored gems act similar to crystals in other levels, in that you need to get the colored gem first before you can do time trial, and the colored gems unlock that warp area's boss fight. - Ntropydude (talk) 22:28, November 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I thought it was only the shards. -- 07:38, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Warped
I don't understand what this means. What can you do with this?

"All in-game text is loaded in every level (includes warp room), which also includes some strings with "NO CHEATS", "GET RELICS", "GET ALL", "OPEN LEVELS" and "CLOSE LEVELS" in them."


 * Leftovers, they don't do anything (at least I can't access them). Btw you didn't sign. ;) -- 14:06, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

Crash 1
By the way, I added more info about the E3 beta on the Crash 1 page. You might want to look at it to make sure it's correct. I haven't played the E3 version yet but I watched OldClassicGamer's youtube videos for it. I made the assumption that Castle Machinery is not included, since he didn't have a video of it, but strangely he didn't have videos for Cortex's fight or Toxic Waste either, which I think must have been in the game's data since they were in the prior prototype.

Stormy Ascent is NOT included in the NTSC-US box art, but I have no idea about NTSC-J.

Do you happen to know if there's anyway to see the level names for the third island levels in the E3 version? I'm curious to see if the names of the bridge levels are reversed. Ntropydude (talk) 06:26, February 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah cool, thanks for the box's back info. Yes I'm pretty sure the levels in the 3rd island are named too, I can also check the game's files and see if Castle Machinery is there. -- 13:21, February 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * I checked, and Castle Machinery, Great Hall, Cliff, Test, Waterfall, Intro and Ending files aren't in the game (Cavern level is). This is also the text string order in the Map/Title screen file: "N. SANITY BEACH.JUNGLE ROLLERS.THE GREAT GATE.BOULDERS.UPSTREAM.PAPU PAPU.ROLLING STONES.HOG WILD.NATIVE FORTRESS.UP THE CREEK.RIPPER ROO.THE LOST CITY.TEMPLE RUINS.BOULDER DASH.SUNSET VISTA.JAWS OF DARKNESS.KOALA KONG.CORTEX POWER.HEAVY MACHINERY.GENERATOR ROOM.TOXIC WASTE.PINSTRIPE.ROAD TO NOWHERE.THE HIGH ROAD.LIGHTS OUT.NITRUS BRIO.SLIPPERY CLIMB.THE LAB.STORMY ASCENT.DR. NEO CORTEX.FUMBLING IN THE DARK.LIGHTS OUT.WHOLE HOG.SUNSET VISTA" (Some dots are used as separators, and aren't actually dots in the files). As you can see, Cortex Power still comes before Heavy Machinery, Road to Nowhere comes before The High Road, and Stormy Ascent is still the last level, with The Lab behind it, which in turn is after Slippery Climb. Sunset Vista and Lights Out are repeated twice, which would be because they are the levels that "split" into 2 (though, I don't know exactly why they are duplicated). -- 13:56, February 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Interesting. Since Road to Nowhere comes before The High Road in the original prototype, I'll assume those names are associated with the correct level, so I have no idea why the password thing occurs.


 * According to the date created/modified on the disc, The Great Hall was created June 19, and Castle Machinery, Intro, Ending were created July 15, 1996. It's strange though because it appears that the levels and the title screen/map data weren't modified after May 11 according to what the file properties say, which makes no sense since they aren't the same, but I don't know anything about how the games are programmed.


 * There are three (that I found) occurrences of level name data in the S0000019.NSF file of the final version. I opened it up in a text editor, as I don't know a better way to read it. One is really weird, as it has text that looks like "RIPPERƒx�OƒZ�LOST C„p� TEMP„A�UINS‚Ø�AD TO NOWHER„>% DASH SUNSET VISTA KOALA KONG HEAVY M†¨�INERY C„��EX POWER GE€".


 * The second one shows the order of the levels on the map (no duplicates), "N. SANITY BEACH JUNGLE ROLLERS THE GREAT GATE BOULDERS UPSTREAM PAPU PAPU ROLLING STONES HOG WILD NATIVE FORTRESS UP THE CREEK RIPPER ROO THE LOST CITY TEMPLE RUINS ROAD TO NOWHERE BOULDER DASH SUNSET VISTA KOALA KONG HEAVY MACHINERY CORTEX POWER GENERATOR ROOM TOXIC WASTE PINSTRIPE THE HIGH ROAD SLIPPERY CLIMB LIGHTS OUT JAWS OF DARKNESS CASTLE MACHINERY NITRUS BRIO THE LAB THE GREAT HALL DR. NEO CORTEX FUMBLING IN THE DARK WHOLE HOG".


 * The third one looks like the level order of the E3 version, but with some differences and I don't understand it's purpose. Perhaps "UNKNOWN LEVEL" is somehow related to Stormy Ascent. "N. SANITY BEACH JUNGLE ROLLERS THE GREAT GATE BOULDERS UPSTREAM PAPU PAPU ROLLING STONES HOG WILD NATIVE FORTRESS UP THE CREEK RIPPER ROO THE LOST CITY TEMPLE RUINS BOULDER DASH SUNSET VISTA JAWS OF DARKNESS KOALA KONG CORTEX POWER HEAVY MACHINERY GENERATOR ROOM TOXIC WASTE PINSTRIPE ROAD TO NOWHERE THE HIGH ROAD LIGHTS OUT NITRUS BRIO SLIPPERY CLIMB THE LAB CASTLE MACHINERY DR. NEO CORTEX FUMBLING IN THE DARK WHOLE HOG THE GREAT HALL UNKNOWN LEVEL" Ntropydude (talk) 19:04, February 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's some weird characters in there, I recommend a hex editor too, as it has more support for weird characters. Anyway, UNKNOWN LEVEL might have been when the game tries to load a level that the game can't recognize/has no text for. But since there's no level like that, it goes unused. It's weird that the game has 3 level name chunks, despite only 2 being used. Also, I'll try to see which one of the three bunch of level names the password system uses. -- 20:14, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Twinsanity Gliches
You said that the Drill Ants being inoffensive is random, but atually, whenever I use that way, they have NEVER been not inoffensive for me. Scheepybird (talk) 21:09, February 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * But you can't do that at the end of Rockslide Rumble so it's still random in one aspect. That could simply be a trigger for it. -- 21:54, February 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Can I still add it in the article as a way of triggering it but still say that it's sometimes random? Scheepybird (talk) 23:28, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

April Poll, and other stuff
Would you like a go at doing the April poll on the front page? It's already a week late, I cannot think what I want it to be. Hopefully you could post something thought-provoking.

btw, how would you feel about starting a Bandipedia twitter account, to reach out to a wider fanbase? There are lots of Crash fans on Twitter who don't come here. 22:42, April 11, 2015 (UTC)

Do you have a Twitter account at the moment I can DM you on? It's the only private messaging system I can think of so we can agree on a password and all of that. I can sort out the rest. 23:08, April 11, 2015 (UTC)

something something something
[//twitter.com/Bandipedia https://twitter.com/Bandipedia] well, here we go. I've followed both of us using it, if you follow one of the accounts back I can DM you with the password. Ideally we'd need a picture as well but at this time it's not a concern. I'll sort out the rest. 16:36, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

Go for it, and check DMs. 18:22, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

Death Routes
So what's the deal with death routes in Crash 2 and 3? I know that in my NTSC-US version, if you die after taking the platform, you can die in or out of the death route and the platform stays there. Is it not the case that it disappears in PAL for deaths outside the death route? I thought it was decided on CM years ago that this is a PAL/NTSC difference? I don't know what speedrun you were referring to. Ntropydude (talk) 03:00, April 21, 2015 (UTC)

Hmm. It's strange that the usually careful PAL players like HP and Smaz never bothered to make sure that their version is that way they thought it was, if they weren't completely sure.

Japanese Level Names
But how am I suppose to post them? Is posting them here also OK?

--Pkukiss (talk) 11:57, April 21, 2015 (UTC)Pkukiss

Also, is it OK to give translations of Aku Aku hints in the Japanese version? However this will take long, as I have to replay the entire game.

I have made a few edits, do you think they're ok, or I should some other format?

Crash 2's Aku Aku hints are in voice rather than in text. My hearing is not very well (my native language is Chinese). Can you find anyone to check out whether or not they're correct?

My translations seem good, but partially due to that it's hard to verify.

Surely a 'last warning' would be in order for anyone who bumps dead threads. It's in the Community Messages, and if it's there then it's certainly grounds for serious trouble.

TNT Square deletion
I disagree with the deletion of the TNT Square page. I realize it was on something not too major, but still something found in two games, and not covered anywhere else (since they actually aren't crates they shouldn't be covered on the TNT Crate page). There are now broken links on at least three other pages (Ripper Roo, Ripper Roo (Boss Fights), El Pogo Loco). Also, it was a complete page with a picture and all the necessary description. I contrast this with other pages that I do think serve no purpose, such as Gold Miner and Deactivation Tab. Each of these pages refers to only one level in one game, has extremely little description and no picture, and the Gold Miner page just simply repeats content already on the Gold Rush page. Ntropydude (talk) 04:33, May 16, 2016 (UTC)

OK I combined the old "Nitro Square" page and TNT Square into one page to which the old names both redirect so no broken links. The topics were similar enough that it makes sense to have them in one page (similar to Purple ? and ! crate which is two similar things into one page) so hopefully less of a minor page now. There are plenty of links to the old pages (even on Speedy Boots page) where it would not make sense to insert the content from the TNT and Nitro square page. So it's worthy of a page, but I agree now it doesn't need to be two separate pages. Ntropydude (talk) 00:47, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

New category cyborg (suggestion)
In the crash series there are cyborgs most notable being Ebenezer Von Clutch, Crunch Bandicoot and N. Gin. Should a new category be added for cyborgs?

Hang Eight
With all my respect, the level doesn't have a floating stopwatch like in CB3W, but it has a timer nevertheless, that is counting down the seconds for the prize, for which Crash needs to be as fast as possible to obtain. I believe that's what we call a Time Trial challenge.

Vandalism: Juanandressancheztobler123456
Look at the one edit made by User:Juanandressancheztobler123456 on the Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex page. It's clearly vandalism of the level list, and clearly intentional as I can't see how something like that could happen by accident. Ntropydude (talk) 04:21, May 24, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I'd say it was clear vandalism, but it clearly seems to have been done in bad faith, and the edit added false information to the page which couldn't have been done by accident. ―  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 04:25, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

Question about ItsBotTasty
If your ItsBotTasty account is used to do bot edits such as AWB etc. I was wondering why it hasn't been flagged as a bot. It's true that by default, neither administrators, nor bureaucrats are able to flag accounts as bots, since by default, only VSTF, Helpers, Staff, and Utilities can flag accounts as bots. But yeah, I thought that you should request a bot flag for ItsBotTasty, since it would prevent ItsBotTasty from flooding recent changes, and earning badges. I'm not saying I mind not having ItsBotTasty flagged as a bot, but it's just a suggestion. ―  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 09:00, June 23, 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm getting pretty tired of cleaning up after that Bhuges guy tbh. None of his edits are constructive and he clearly doesn't have a good enough grasp at English to edit here. Should we just ban him? We wouldn't be the first wiki to do so. Or maybe we could just tell him not to edit anymore. Bandi Cooper 19:27, November 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * In this situation, I personally think issuing him a warning and telling him what he's doing wrong would suffice at this time. I think a block personally would be too harsh, I mean he doesn't seem to be acting in bad faith. However I do feel that perhaps he might be a little too eager to show off his dedication, which is normally a good thing, except I'm picking up this feeling that he may not be exactly aware when to stop showing off his dedication. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 22:13, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

Deleting Warp Room Pages
Why would you delet all the warp room pages? Everyone was ok with them so you shouldn't have done that. You have to talk to someone before you do something like this. EH28 (talk) 03:29, August 10, 2017 (UTC)

The warp room pages had valid content that was helpful for navigation. They shouldn't have been deleted. EH28 (talk) 03:39, August 10, 2017 (UTC)

Well the thing is they were not covered anywhere else, they were not stubs, and the images were great. Also they were very helpful, and I had a forum asking for permission to make them, and guess what, everyone was ok with it. People liked the idea, and other users made warp room pages as well. If you thought that they were a bad idea you could've said so in the forum before I made them, instead of deleting all of them without asking the community. If possible you should recover those pages immediately, for you are the only one who does not like them. EH28 (talk) 03:13, August 20, 2017 (UTC)

Every world in CTR has a separate page so why should the warp rooms too. Also instead of deleting them why didn't you merge them instead? The warp room pages are not unnecessary, and are very helpful. They had a lot more information on them then a lot of pages. So you should recover them. EH28 (talk) 16:08, August 28, 2017 (UTC)

Also before you deleted them you should have created a thread in the forum asking the community. It took me time to make those pages, and I'm not the only one who thought they were a good idea. Other users made some of those pages, not just me. You should recover them. EH28 (talk) 16:09, August 28, 2017 (UTC)

I still disagree with you, but I would rather had them merged then not there at all. So how about you recover the pages, and if you really want me too, I can merge them into the bigger warp room page. Thanks EH28 (talk) 16:32, August 28, 2017 (UTC)

Your CTRNF character table: Suggestions & Questions
I'm liking the table you made for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled's cast so far. Although, I do have a few questions for you involving skins, since you said it was a placeholder and is subject to change:

1: Will you include the icons of the character skins once people datamine the icons directly from the game files when the game goes live? 2: Are you going to label Legendary Skins with a gold colored text, and regular skins with a purple text? That was how each skin was labeled in each icon for the skins. 3: If a skin is a reference to another Crash game like CTTR, will you perhaps put a link to the referenced skin?

Pages proposal
Hello, Thaswordster, I had an idea. What about we adding pages for real-life people on the Wiki, like voice actors, artists, staff, etc. who worked on the games? I think it would be an excellent idea and would add even more content to the wiki. A lot of other wikis for series like Crash do add the VAs and staff members as separate pages to the wiki, and it gives a good result. I'd be willing to do some of these myself, alongside the help of the rest of the wiki, of course (Draft227 (talk) 00:24, June 20, 2019 (UTC))

In regards to voice actors
The reason I keep removing the VAs from "Additional Voices" is because they are already included in the main list and it is redundant to mention them more than once. We wouldn't list a VA multiple times for each role he or she played, would we? I.E. Corey Burton as N Gin, Corey Burton again as N Tropy, Corey Burton yet again as Oxide, you get the idea? I have my reasons for doing this. CrashBash (talk) 03:50, June 21, 2019 (UTC)


 * Your way has far, far more repetition and is not how the credits are displayed in-game, anyway. I don't know what you mean by "repeating characters", since the only "character" that's being repeated is "Additional Voices" here. When one thing is done by multiple people, you list the people, not repeat the same thing multiple times. Do not revert back. -- 23:43, June 21, 2019 (UTC)


 * What do you mean you don't see by repeating characters? Names are repeated. We don't need to list names of VAs multiple times over, regardless of what the actual credits say.

 * Why not just remove the additional voices section and add something like this stating "most of the cast did additional voices (for what?) aside from their characters, several voice actors, such as ((list)) also voiced these but none of the main characters." above the list of the cast? p.s. the whole "I outnumber you" argument is bad, doesn't work, and it makes you look like a tool. -- Tim –  Talkpage  09:26, June 22, 2019 (UTC)

I don’t see what reason you have for removing the list of differences between games for the Nitro-Fueled article. However, locking the page was just unnecessary. You could have at least written something on my talk page so could discuss it. Wikification (talk) 11:41, June 24, 2019 (UTC)

Hey there. I saw a comment from you asking users to directly tell you if something needs to be edited (since people seemed to be editing incorrectly, I assume). I saw that the "Dwight Schultz" link is broken on the Crash_Team_Racing_Nitro-Fueled page. The "Z" is missing in the link. I mentioned it on the talk of that page too, but I figured you'd be more likely to see it here. Thanks! - Yuvi3000 (talk) 16:08, November 27, 2019 (UTC)

Thanks to a dataminer on the r/CrashBandicoot Discord server, I now have possession of all of the racers in CTR at launch day. This doesn't include Tawna and the Trophy Girls/Nitro Squad, though. However, I DO have all of the other character skin icons too, so you can use them when you make your skins table. I'll go ahead and upload them; I just thought I'd let you know the good news.

Re: The Rocket and It's Game of Origin... If Any
I think this is a matter that needs further discussion. Because I've had a look at screenshots for Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 and comparing Crash's kart in that game to the Rocket in Nitro-Fueled... The two don't even look remotely the same. The kart from CBNK2 more closely resembles the Trikee, but with an extra rear wheel.

Case seems pretty open and shut if you ask me, but that's just what I think.

User created a page.
Hi, someone named Hassantaleb4 says that Sonic the Hedgehog will be in Nitro-Fueled but no evidence says he will be in, can you delete the page and block the user please.

Fake content created
The user Hassantaleb4 created a Sonic the Hedgehog article, saying that he "probably" will appear in CTR:NF. There is no evidence about it. I put the article in "nominated for deletion". Can you delet it, please?

Deleting pages with official name
FYI, we don't outright delete pages about minor skins and/or characters, instead we turn them into redirects. If, say, someone tries to look at Baby Crash, he will not find anything in the search bar, thinking we don't mention him at all, and give up. Can you undelete Baby Crash so that i can turn it into a redirect? --FanOfYoshi (talk) 18:13, August 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... Yeah... Looks like the previous history got entirely overwritten, since the page has been recreated from scratch, rather than letting admins do so before turning the page into a redirect. --FanOfYoshi (talk) 06:29, August 19, 2019 (UTC)

Ripped Models
I’m wondering. If ripped models are not allowed on the site, why are galleries full of them? The Velo article uses one for an infobox image. Also, other pages like N. Trance gallery, Velo Mask, Coco Gallery, and various others have ripped model images from DeviantArt in them as well. Should they all be removed? Wikification (talk) 11:16, August 17, 2019 (UTC)

I've noticed recently that you have been deleting tons of files that are just game models, because "they're not allowed", but considering I couldn't find anything like that within the appropriate guidelines, I really hope you're not simply abusing your admin status because of a prejudice against T-posing 3D renders or something. Oddly enough, I have noticed that a lot of these "not allowed" 3D model renders are in fact of a much higher quality than the screenshot rips we've been currently using (e.g. compare this Dingodile render I found in his gallery, to this screenshot rip of Dingodile currently used in the infobox. With the environment of the latter removed, it looks like Dingo has blue teeth, while the former render has neutral lighting, making things a bit more natural). I know that other wikis, such as the Super Mario Wiki, has in fact been keeping T-posing renders, so, what gives? Arend (Talk) 12:18, August 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * You know, I myself question why ripped model renders are not allowed in the first place, given that they're from official games and all. Looking at both the list of deletion reasons at Bandipedia:Moderation (of course, for the file namespace) and the Before uploading a file section at Bandipedia:File use, I couldn't find ANYTHING about renders of models ripped straight from the game not being allowed.


 * I've been noticing this admin has been very rude and dismissive towards his responses to other users, as well as making completely arbitrary decisions regarding the content we post, deciding to delete it altogether. If model rips aren't allowed, then virtually 90% of the renders of characters and other content from everything from Wrath of Cortex, Nitro Kart, Twinsanity, Tag Team Racing, Titans, and Mind Over Mutant would have to be deleted from the wiki, and replaced with lower quality screenshots. Draft227 (talk) 15:12, August 17, 2019 (UTC)


 * I am answering this here because there are a bunch of people doing it at the same time, so I'll go through this point by point. "If ripped models are not allowed on the site, why are galleries full of them?" Most of the images in the galleries were uploaded before I started properly managing their content, and it's gotten really bad at this point. Every once in a while I actually clean up the galleries (or part of them), but you can see that there's a *lot* of things that need clean-up in this place and I simply cannot do everything myself at once. After all, they do have a cleanup tag in them. "The Velo article uses one for an infobox image." I am completely aware and it is something that I will eventually take care of. Just because many pages still use these images doesn't make them right, specially when I'm in the process of getting rid of them! Sometimes I also prefer having a crappy image than no image when it's the case for infoboxes. Like I said before, there are a lot of things that need clean up. The objective is to get rid of all the tiny mergeable pages (did you know every type of mojo used to have its own page? yeah, pretty dumb) and get rid of all the image bloat in the galleries, while also rewriting most of the content and getting rid of most of the """trivia""" because apparently people back in the day had no idea what that actually meant. "and various others have ripped model images from DeviantArt in them as well. Should they all be removed?" Yes, absolutely. "why ripped model renders are not allowed in the first place, given that they're from official games and all." There is no guarantee that the ripped model is accurate to the in-game one. Various uploads on this very website have the ripped model images with either bad textures, texture errors, color errors, lighting errors and/or rigging errors. Not to mention a ripped render is also void of in-game effects such as shaders (i.e. NST's fur shader), which are obviously "necessary" for the model but are of course not ripped. "Looking at both " Yeah, I know. I have not updated those yet because I can't imagine many people are actually reading them, but it is something I will eventually get to. "I really hope you're not simply abusing your admin status because of a prejudice against T-posing 3D renders or something." I have discussed this image matter with the other admins, albeit privately on Discord. :) However, I'll just say there's a reason wikipedia, and most other wikias, don't have t-pose renders in their videogame character pages... ;) (maybe they even have written rules about that to clarify why that is the case). "I have noticed that a lot of these "not allowed" 3D model renders are in fact of a much higher quality than the screenshot rips we've been currently using" Also something I am aware of. However, with today's technology you can just use an emulator and upscale the in-game resolution to obtain much clearer images than the ones we are using, which are highly more preferred than T-posing bad model rips. "With the environment of the latter removed, it looks like Dingo has blue teeth, while the former render has neutral lighting, making things a bit more natural" Well, that kind of ties to my previous point, though. Even if the in-game model is glitched or looks kinda terrible (which would be the case for a lot of NST things in general...), that is how it appears in the game and it is how most people will see them. "I know that other wikis, such as the Super Mario Wiki, has in fact been keeping T-posing renders, so, what gives?" I'm not quite sure what your point is here. Every gallery page in that site has a separate page for "sprites and models", and less than 1% of the images in THAT subpage are T-pose models as they get drowned out by more professional-looking content. On the flipside, you have galleries like this that are just... disgusting. "If model rips aren't allowed, then virtually 90% of the renders of characters and other content from everything from Wrath of Cortex, Nitro Kart, Twinsanity, Tag Team Racing, Titans, and Mind Over Mutant would have to be deleted from the wiki, and replaced with lower quality screenshots." Besides the unnecessary unwarranted personal attack, this is something I have been in the process of doing anyway. I already did that with a few of those games, in fact, and I will continue until better screenshots arrive. If you want T-pose pictures then go to that deviantArt page (since I am pretty sure it's always the same two people) or the models resource. This is simply not the place for that. -- 16:27, August 17, 2019 (UTC)

About the revert of my edit
According to you when you reverted my edits, the solution I have figured out for the mugshot thing "does not work on FireFox". How so? The codes I have implemented for my template are relatively simple things (position CSS and margin CSS inside a span code) that should work on any internet browser, FireFox included. I may not have the desktop version at hand, but I checked the pages using said code on FireFox on iPad, and it looks just fine.

Could you maybe explain a bit more or provide a screenshot? Arend (Talk) 20:14, August 20, 2019 (UTC)

Peculiar... if your screencap is to be believed, then your version of FireFox seems to ignore the "position:relative;" code I gave.

I have edited the template a bit now: this time, I made sure to add !important to the string, although I'm not exactly sure if it will work on your end now. Arend (Talk) 20:48, August 20, 2019 (UTC)

ADDENDUM: I'm going to do a bit of research on the matter, maybe the internet will give me a solution that works with FireFox as well. Arend (Talk) 20:50, August 20, 2019 (UTC)

I think I got it now! I've booted up my PC and started up desktop FireFox to do some testing myself. I can conclude that it wasn't really "position:relative" that screwed it up on FireFox, but "margin-right:-75px", for some reason. Still though, I think it's a problem exclusive to tables, as the code worked fine on the regular page and the problems I've read concerning positioning and FireFox have to do with "display:table-cell" or similar.

But in either case, adding "display:inline-block" to the code seemed to have fixed the issue. Can you confirm that as well? Arend (Talk) 21:27, August 20, 2019 (UTC)

Okay, what are you doing? From your recent edits, you don’t appear to have played Nitro Kart at all!

CNK Hub Worlds
Why are you deleting the pages for the CNK hub worlds when there are pages for the CTR hub worlds? Draft227 (talk) 01:45, August 22, 2019 (UTC)

You understood what I meant; I meant the category pages for Terra, Barin, Fenomenans Teknee. Why are these category pages deleted if we still have categories for N. Sanity Island (specifying hub world otherwise you'll jokingly reply it's still in the wiki), Lost Ruins, Gem Stone Valley, Citadel City and Glacier Park up and running in the Wiki (unless you want to delete them as well) Draft227 (talk) 11:06, August 22, 2019 (UTC)

Pre and Post Nitro Tour content
I add that information for base game content that were made unavailable throughout the first GP or even onward. Similarly, some content appeared in the normal rotation after the first GP, despite being previously GP limited items. There may be a better way to specify it, but I don't trust readers to actually scroll down to Trivia sections to understand why Life Saver N. Trance is nowhere to be seen in the Pit Stop.

Gallery of CTRNF karts
With all the kart set pics User:Hyenadip uploaded, I was thinking of having a gallery of all individual karts from Nitro-Fueled but I'm not sure where it should go. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled/Bodies and Decals is already cramped as it is. Maybe Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled/Gallery? Pauolo (talk) 07:18, October 5, 2019 (UTC)


 * By row template you mean Template:CTRNF Skin Table Row? Pauolo (talk) 17:53, October 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * I'll have to look into it when I can.


 * Btw, I'm bringing that subject up because I think it's related. Whether you or your fellow admins enforce not having single pages for each kart model, they'll always be people making pages for them (just recently Champion and Classic Kart). For some I feel justified to have a page for trivia bits, but for others I don't think it's worth it. Also by experience I know some editors will make pages for the rest of the karts if we start having exceptions like Nitros Oxide's Hovercraft. Should we have a page like Crash Tag Team Racing/Cars? I feel however that it would be redundant with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled/Bodies and Decals.
 * That's honestly the part where wikis become a headache to organise... Pauolo (talk) 14:42, October 7, 2019 (UTC)


 * I have an idea to reformat the Kart Bodies and Decals page in order to regroup info on CTRNF karts. I'm not actually fond of how the page currently looks like, and I'd actually prefer something like the CTTR cars page. I'll try something on my user page when I have some time. Pauolo (talk) 22:37, October 7, 2019 (UTC)


 * I didn't have much time to work on that project. From what I started the page would be seemingly endless with each month adding 3 more entries. I think just a gallery image like the CTTR cars page will be fine. Pauolo (talk) 09:46, November 9, 2019 (UTC)

Game Over in CTR
There's a "Game Over" screen easter egg in CTRNF at Cortex Castle. It's in a window with Uka Uka saying it as a reference to the NST. Draft227 (talk) 21:33, October 20, 2019 (UTC)

Why deletethe category Spooky Levels when we have other themes? The themes seem perfectly in line in all of the levels I categorized.

Also can you please respond to my previous message? (Draft227 (talk) 23:35, October 23, 2019 (UTC))


 * Levels shouldn't be sorted by type, but rather by game. Sorting by type creates an amazingly arbitrary series of sub-categories in which actually finding the level you want becomes a huge chore due to the sheer number of seemingly random categories there are at the moment. -- Tim –  Talkpage  23:49, October 23, 2019 (UTC)


 * This pretty much. -- 00:19, October 24, 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the Pit Stop page
I know that the Pit Stop page should reflect what's currently available. Should item bundles and packs no longer available be removed from the page? That would free a lot of space imho. Also it seems content of the 2nd GP were bundled differently this time, so that would avoid confusion. Pauolo (talk) 10:01, November 9, 2019 (UTC)


 * I'll be on it then. Also, what should I do about the first 2 post-launch character bundles (Summer Time and Fairy Tale)? They never came back and are not part of any GP. I was thinking of making a section for disused items, have both of them there but also a message to direct to the GP pages for the rest of the non returning items and bundles. That or making a new page for pre-GP content, but using it to list only 2 bundles (maybe 3 with the current "Beach Time" bundle) would be weird. Pauolo (talk) 11:34, November 10, 2019 (UTC)

Problem with CTR-NF/Skins
There's a huge mess with the sections of all Spyro N. Friends characters. I tried to fix it, but I couldn't. It always leads to the same error.

If people keep messing with the article, (and I don't mean any offense to those who do it by accident) then why not lock it? Yellowlightning1996 15:58, November 10, 2019 (UTC)


 * That page is being frequently edited each month. Locking it/unlocking it wouldn't be ideal. You can however remind offenders to edit in source mode instead. I'm not even sure how it is possible to specifically remove entries from the Spyro GP by mistake. An internet cache issue? Pauolo (talk) 17:16, November 10, 2019 (UTC)

I think it should be locked, cause Pauolo is getting tired of people always messing it up. Yellowlightning1996 17:53, December 11, 2019 (UTC)


 * I also want to understand why, every time this happens, only skins and characters from the Spyro GP are affected by it. Is it either an issue with some editors' internet cache? I'm starting to believe the cause would be the "&" symbol used to call (as in "Spyro & Friends"). That symbol could just mess up with browsers from non-English speaking countries. I could confirm that if any of the users messing stuff up would even speak up, but they never do even when addressed directly. Pauolo (talk) 18:23, December 11, 2019 (UTC)

So, I edited the aforementioned iconGP template and rewrote the occurrences on articles of "Spyro & Friends" into "Spyro N. Friends". I think that did the trick. Same users who kept messing up that page didn't do it last time. Sweet relief... Pauolo (talk) 12:36, December 13, 2019 (UTC)

Koala Kong
Fred Tatasciore is the voice of Koala Kong, period. He's among the DLC voices, he played the character in N. Sane Trilogy, and the character sounds identical to his portrayal of the Hulk.

About main article of CTR:NF - Characters availability
I've seen that the article about the Pit Stop now only shows the bundles and items that are currently available. Should the same thing be done with the character section of the main CTR Nitro Fueled article?

For example:

-We know Tawna was a bronze reward during GP1 and the other girls could be unlocked with their personal bundles, but now is not the case. They are just individual characters for 1500 coins (not to mention that Tawna now has her own bundle). Should be deleted the parts about the bronze reward and the missing Trophy Girls bundles? I say this because all that info is already posted in the Nitro Tour Grand Prix article.

-Spyro was also a reward in GP3, but now he is not available until December, just like Hunter and Gnasty Gnorc. Should the unlock parts be deleted and replaced with the "coming back soon" or something similar indicating they are not available at the moment?

Please sign your posts or I won't be able to respond. Either way, no. -- 23:11, November 27, 2019 (UTC)

Tawna in The Wrath of Cortex guide
In the strategy guide of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, it specifies that Tawna actually dumps Crash for Pinstripe, just like in the japanese mangas. But there are sources that states some content of that guide is not official (Cortex's circus past is another questionable example). So, my main questions are: Is it all official or some of that content (like the one about Pinstripe) is not? Should this be included in Tawna's main page?

Is the CTR Nitro-Fueled ever going to be unprotected?
I have a feeling you will respond with a resounding "no", but the reason for the protection is because of people adding unverified voice roles to the cast list, isn't it? In that case, I think it would make sense if we had a hidden text message that says something like. I have seen other hidden text messages on the same page like, so I thought maybe adding something like that to the cast section would be a good idea. Arend (Talk) 22:43, January 15, 2020 (UTC)

Since we now know Ami's voice actress for sure now, I suppose her page's protection can be dropped? I believe the recent protection was applied to prevent edit warring about the VA, after all. Arend (Talk) 00:06, January 24, 2020 (UTC)
