I was interested in the concept of Megamix before, just not how he appeared in the Gameboy Advance game. But he has been given lots of care and attention in this game, he is amazing ouo!!

Thanks!

You mean his legendary skin? Yeah, that's really, really sick too, and I'm a huge sucker for robots of course. Especially freaky post-apocalyptic ones that look like they're from Judge Dredd or something <3 <3 <3

Turquoisephoenix [2020-01-17 08:05:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, I love this!

Isn't it great how much better Megamix's design is now? They fixed the main problem I had with this design where they just stuck different character's pieces together without having any blending in-between the different parts and he just looked like a weird forgettable blob of wasted potential. I love that they added body horror into the mix! I love that you can see patches of bare yellow skin extend past the head and there's even spots of Cortex skin showing on his shoulders and the metal having really huge visible vein, implying that the metallic part of his face is actually alive, like the fusing process made that part organic.

This is how you revamp quite possibly one of the most forgotten designs in the entire Crash Bandicoot franchise, simply because there was nothing to write home about earlier. This is so good.

Also love the addition of scratches like he really raced hardcore prior to winning that trophy.

I agree completely. He was so unremarkable in XS, not only in terms of appearance, but also the fact that he just kind of came and went for one chase level. He's actually seriously badass now, and even genuinely creepy with his lines and animations. All while somehow still being in the spirit of Crash Bandicoot's tone and aesthetic. It's kind of incredible.

Strixic In reply to Turquoisephoenix [2020-01-17 08:35:13 +0000 UTC]



Yeeess the body horror! I love me some body horror XD And I'm so glad they went there, when before, I was afraid that they were holding back, for fear of being too edgy or scary for a younger audience. They weren't afraid to get freaky with this character or this GP! Yeah, I love all the details on Megamix everything you mentioned and the 'organicised' mask, that's a really cool idea!

They did an amazing job, so much better than I was expecting

I could have 'battle damaged' him up a bit more, couldn't I? I love battle damage XD

Turquoisephoenix In reply to Strixic [2020-01-17 09:21:27 +0000 UTC]

I am so glad they went full on body horror with Megamix. I wanted them to go full on body horror for this character! N. Gin's parts becoming organic parts of his body (including the bullet-shaped buttons on the back of his coat becoming just embedded in his skin in the back) is really, really good.

Also he fights with himself in his animations! He's not working together! The parts are struggling for control! I agree, it was so much better than I was expecting. I was just expecting them to translate the old design faithfully and honestly, that would've been pretty boring.

Strixic In reply to Turquoisephoenix [2020-01-17 12:26:41 +0000 UTC]

I don't actually think I expected any strong use of Megamix's body horror potential so I was very pleasantly surprised!! Ohh I love the buttons becoming embedded in him too, that's such a great detail And the spikes coming out of his right shoulder ouo

Yeah, that's a great idea, too. I wondered what they were gonna do with his characterisation and this was a great option, with them all fighting for control XD They animate him so well too, on and off the podium. Just great stuff...

While the drawing is nice, it's a shame that the Rustland GP doesn't feel so appealing when compared to the last four GPs; I'm not all that tempted to attend, since a lot of the new contents just don't seem to appeal to me, and I'm better off saving my Wumpa Coins for better stuff.

Strixic In reply to Mario-and-Sonic-Guy [2020-01-17 08:28:53 +0000 UTC]

Really? You're very different to me then bcs I'm an absolute sucker for the post-apocalyptic, wasteland, industrial aesthetic and I think this is aesthetically the very best GP (especially with the amount of effort, creativity and theme-ing they put into everything) next to the Spooky one

I think this aesthetic is very appropriate for Crash, given Crash's inclusion of near future sci-fi, grungy, technological, industrial (and even punk) aesthetics throughout it's existence. And mutated and twisted stuff :3 This GP is like, just an extreme extension of themes that have always been in Crash

The first game is even an eco tale, with industrial pollution presented as a major reason to stop Cortex. There was the threat of ruination even back in Crash's first game. The Rustland GP is like a what-if scenario, a peek onto a 'bad future' Crash. I love it

Mario-and-Sonic-Guy In reply to Strixic [2020-01-17 15:01:43 +0000 UTC]

To each his own in this case. But while all the previous GPs offered at least three new characters, this one only offers one new character; Mega-Mix. The rest is pretty much new skins that you'll have to buy (except for Nina's new skin, which is a Nitro Gauge unlockable) at the Pit Stop.


Also, I pretty much need a break from the GPs, since they've been taking a toll on my Wumpa Coin supply. And I'm also occupied with other games, such as Super Mario Maker 2.

OOOOH, I remember Megamix! He's from Crash the huge adventure, right?  He was pretty terrifying back then too.

Strixic In reply to SecretLightness [2020-01-16 18:02:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah!! I'm really glad that Vicarious Visions made such a badass, scary concept with him in that game, (actual 'body horror' in Crash 8o) and that he's now here too, with an ace redesign. Super pleased

Reviroo [2020-01-16 15:22:20 +0000 UTC]

Excellent drawing! I was pleasantly surprised by this thing's design, as well as... pretty much everything else about the Grand Prix. For lack of a better term, a lot of the designs look a bit more hardcore than I was expecting? Like, Megamix looks super cool and even kinda disturbing, which is awesome!

Strixic In reply to Reviroo [2020-01-16 17:58:05 +0000 UTC]

I was hoping Megamix's model would be a lot more customised rather than just a mash-up, and he is! I'm super super pleased with how they made him and all the little touches. Including the disturbing elements because I'm so into horror things 8D They've really gone all out with this GP, I was pumped about the theme and they totally delivered on the hardcore nature of it

Strixic In reply to HarmonyBunny2026 [2020-01-16 17:59:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! They put a lot of thought into this one. In The Huge Adventure he was mostly just a mash up of the different character sprites

In my opinion, it's a missed opportunity to integrate Nina into the atrocity with her robotic hands.

He looks cool nonetheless.
