After having a whole lot of enjoyable with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time after we reviewed the sport final 12 months, we now have been keen to listen to extra information concerning the orange blur. An upcoming fan challenge from Unknown Door Games appears to do exactly that, although in a barely much less official launch/full recreation type of manner.

Posting their progress on Twitter yesterday (thanks, Eurogamer), the developer introduced that their fan-made title, Crash ‘N’ Dance, can be a remake of Crash Nitro Kart‘s secret Crash minigame ‘Crash Party USA’, one thing of a button-mashing/dance-mat/bandicoot hybrid that we by no means knew we wanted.

In a brief video demonstrating the sport’s first two rounds, FierceTheBandit shared the next tweet, with the promise that additional updates will probably be coming quickly:

‘Crash Party USA’ (formally referred to as ‘Crash Party’) debuted as a secret minigame in Vicarious Visions’ GBA version of Nitro Kart, earlier than showing with its extra frequent title within the Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy and Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto’s Rampage console crossover. The recreation might solely be accessed on GBA by holding down ‘L’ and ‘R’ when firing up the system and rewarded final-level bonuses if accomplished.

FierceTheBandit’s remake seems to be to make use of the identical button-timed gameplay as the unique and even employs a GBA-inspired pixel artwork type for an additional nostalgia kick. We suppose it is a substantial improve over the unique’s 3D look (video beneath) and are excited to see Crash bust extra strikes as progress is made on this remake.

We have no information on precisely when we will take Crash ‘N’ Dance for a spin, however we’re definitely able to get again into the Wumpa Island vibes as quickly as we will.
