Every Crash Bandicoot Boss Ranked

In every fight with N Tropy, he never moves his legs once!

One thing to me that added a lot of context to Coco's Boss Battle with N. Gin was in the flashback tapes. It was revealed that N. Gin mentored Coco in Computers in technology. So basically, this is like a Student vs Teacher fight where Coco built her own spaceship to take on N. Gin's 2 mechs. Like damn did he put out all the stops. Yeah, it's safe to say Coco definitely surpassed him.

The best part of N Gin’s Crash 4 theme, is that with half of his face being machine, he’s literally a metalhead

One of the tings I loved with N.Gin in Crash 3 is also that the weapons you destroy affects the fight. If you destroy a Rocked Launcher then he cant use that anymore, so the player can if they find a weapon hard to deal with focus it and set it out of the fight.

I feel like Crash 3 N. Gin, casually is so hard, that once you get the power-up and just shoot everything out of existence makes it all the more rewarding. That boss fight is just genius.

Good countdown; I now have the twins boss fight music stuck in my head again

I noticed that in the trilogy Ripper roo and Tiny tiger have a lot of similarities. Their 1st fight is fought on a 3X3 arena, they can't be hurt directly. You have to rely on the environment. Their 2nd fight they're downgraded to the first boss, fought in an open square arena and can now be harmed directly.

crash 2 was my childhood game, and i always remember tiny being the hardest boss for child me to beat. still remember the first time i beat him my heart was beating out of my chest and i ran downstairs to tell my dad i finally did it. tiny tiger will always be my personal favorite boss (along with ripper roo and dingodile) and i really hope he comes back in future games!

I have a feeling that Cortex Boss fight in Crash 2 turned out like that it's because fighting N.Gin bares similarities to how Cortex was fought in the first game and there was no way to make Cortex' boss unique while topping N.Gin's fight. It also could be the devs at that point were running out of memory or approaching the deadline. You can even see Cortex holding his gun but never fires it.

Lets gooooo scripted riko content

What I liked about "4th times a charm" is that the mask power is optional. It makes a decent boost in challenge to not use it.

I found myself playing the N.Gin fight in Crash 3 many times over, the fight is just so good, 100% deserves the #1 spot. Great rankings, amazing video, keep it up Riko!

N.Gin is honestly Legendary and always sets the stage for enjoyable, replayable boss fights in the Crash series. Well, not counting twinsanity. I mean, my dude is a glorified puzzle in that game, they don't even give him a health bar. His Crash 3 boss fight is great on so many levels, one of the most interesting settings for a time and history based game in the moon, alternative gameplay that is practically not seen elsewhere in the game in the Starfox style, yet still is able to be fun despite the sudden curveball, but also poses a solid challenge to newer players. The remixed N.Gin theme is brilliant, the extra stage gives the boss fight an additional level of weight and omph that boss fight had no business having, but it was great anyway. The additional taster bits of it being a clash of minds of the two tech giants of good and evil, Coco's only boss fight in the game and one that certainly raises the feeling of her importance in the game. Pura getting truly highlighted as Coco's loyal pet and counter part to the lovable Polar by having that moment where she powers you up. Another feature that didn't need to be there, but was awesome to see. My lone criticism of N.Gin's boss fight in Crash 3 is the story implications and the pacing of it. Which was always a defined weak-point of early Crash games anyway, so it's not massive at all. But yeah, you've just beaten N.Tropy and Uka Uka slanders you for how awful of a decision that was. By putting the master of the Time-Twister out of commision, you risk it blowing up with catastrophic consequences that threaten everyone, like how the end of the game goes. This is a great set-up of tension to build up for a final climatic fight with all the pressure of the unstable Time-Twister putting everyone indiscriminately at risk while they scramble for those last few Crystals. ...But it's so easy to forget that when shortly after you're duking it out and trash talking with N.Gin in his warp room and the tension in the air disipates and you kinda forget that this extremely sensitive time machine could implode into a black hole at any moment.

i like how you can tell exactly who #1 is by #44

So glad you finally make a scripted video, in the style of Schaffrilas of course. This is really cool and I love the subject! 😊 I hope to see more of these.

On "Drain damage" the bubbles will kill you if you're inbetween platforms. Definitely died a few times to that.

N Gin actually became one of my favorite characters by being a fun boss every time we meet him (or almost every time lol). Also great list! Did not expect the game boy games on here! Blast from the past

That was a super entertaining video Riko! Great job! I think my favorite boss in the series is probably Twin's Dingo, I remember loving that one as a kid and seeing now again on the video is like, damn they really killed it with the presentation on that one.
