Proto:Crash Bash

This page details one or more prototype versions of Crash Bash.

To do: Start pages. Cover the cheat menu and the unused levels (the entire game is hidden in these demos). Note that the cheat menu is not accessible in all the demos and requires using the Select button which resets the game except for in the Spyro 3 demos and Crash Bandicoot Carnival Trial disc. In the demos where the cheat menu is unusable, it's still possible to access the rest of the game using memory editing (and in fact this actually allows access to more than the cheat menu has to offer, anyway). In particular, in some versions the Komodo Brothers use mugshots of Homer and Bart Simpson as placeholders.

There are at least six different demos of Crash Bash, and two full prototypes.
