Crash Bandicoot Carnival (released in the West as Crash Bash) is a vibrant party game for the PlayStation, released in 2000. Developed by Eurocom, this fast-paced multiplayer spin-off moves away from traditional platforming, challenging players to battle through a series of chaotic minigames. You’ll choose from the series’ iconic heroes and villains, competing across different arenas to decide once and for all whether good or evil reigns supreme.
How to Play
The objective is to win various minigame events, each with its own unique rulesโfrom knocking opponents off ice platforms in Polar Panic to defending your goal in Pogo Painter.
- D-pad / Arrow Keys: Move your character
- Cross (X) / Z Key: Jump or accelerate
- Square / A Key: Attack or use items
- Circle / X Key: Special action
- Start / Enter: Pause the game
Tips
- Learn the minigames: Each event type (like Crate Crush or Tank Wars) requires a totally different strategy. Take time to learn the specific controls and physics for each arena.
- Save your attacks: In survival minigames like Polar Panic, it is often better to dodge aggressively and let the other characters eliminate each other rather than rushing in.
- Use the arena: Pay attention to power-ups and environmental hazards. In Crate Crush, throwing TNT crates at exactly the right moment is far more effective than basic kicks.
