Three Years Ago...
On the shore of N. Sanity Island, washed up a extremely strange sight to behold. Within a large chunk of ice, was a blue mare, with a silver mane, a horn, and a magician's cutie mark. The mare herself had a look of anger on her face, frozen on there for who knows how long. The ice sat there, slowly melting in the sun. A few hours later, just as a few sea gulls came to rest on the cool cube, the unicorn's horn lit up with energy as it busted the ice in one pulse, sending the startled gulls blasting away into the clouds. The mare, now out of her prison, shook her head and stomped her hooves together.
"Twilight Sparkle and her annoying friends did this to me!" she fumed. She turned to look at the island, and as she sat there, she suddenly gathered an idea. "Hmm... perhaps this pathetic little island can be of use to the Great and Powerful Trixie!" she smirked. Using her magic, she picked up a small stick and began to trace on the ground. "If I had something she cared about, then she would finally admit to all of Equestria that I am the greatest unicorn!" She finished her drawing in the sand, and there sat a poorly drawn dragon with big, child-like eyes. "And I know just who that is," she grinned, stepping on the dragon and running off to who knows where, then falling on her face. "Ugh, why does that always happen?!" Trixie whined.
Vacation of His Dreams...
"Come on, Spike! It's time to go."
Spike woke up from his nap with a yawn. Twilight gently shook him so he would see that they were about to get off the ship to their vacation. Well, at least she called it a vacation. Really, Twilight would do what she always does; read up on some obscure history about their vacation spot, Try to conduct spell tests on different types of flowers, or just sit outside, stuffing her face full of hay fries. Spike knew it wasn't any different from their other "vacations", but this time was special. This was the time where he was allowed to go off on his own without anypony! Not to mention, his other friends Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and especially Rarity, were coming along as well.
"Maybe now I can try to be romantic to Rarity without Twilight butting in," Spike thought to himself. As he fantasized about how he would win her heart, he was pushed along by Twilight's magic. As they stepped off the boat, the Captain waved them goodbye as he slowly left. With everypony on the sandy dunes, Spike tried to find his bags. He dug around in the pile of luggage, looking for his simple little backpack, full of gems to snack on, and ideas on how to woo Rarity. Among the things he dug through, he tossed out a case with balloons wrapped around the edge, which started to float into the sky. Before it could, though, Pinkie Pie plucked it out of the sky from seemingly out of nowhere, then returning to the ground with the case in her mane.
"Thanks, Spike!" she chirped, being her usual Pinkie self. She then bounced away to find her hut.
Spike, confused, just decided to keep digging around. He eventually managed to find everypony's bag or suitcase except his, making him groan. Just then, a hoof tapped him on the shoulder, as he turned around to see the most beautiful being in all of Equestria smiling at him.
"Excuse me, Spike," Rarity said, her voice as sweet as rubies to the little lovebird. "But would it be too much to ask if you could help me with my bags?" she said, batting her eyelashes as she looked at him. His little dragon heart melted instantly.
"Anything for you, Rarity," he drooled. He held out his hands to take her bag. Sadly, he failed to notice the bags that held above his head hanging by a blue glow, which promptly dropped on him. If it wasn't for his thick scales, he might have been crushed under all that weight.
"Why, Thank you, Spikey-Wikey!" she crooned. To Spike, it didn't matter if all the cake Celestia eats in an hour would've fallen on him. He would do anything for her. He slowly followed behind her, puffing from under the weight of the bags. Soon, the pair reached the quaint hut where Rarity would sleep. It wasn't big, Spike noticed, but he certainly seemed comfortable enough. He gently placed the bags down, while Rarity went into the kitchen of the home.
"I want to thank you for your kind help, Spike," she said. The dragon wondered what he could possibly be getting. A Kiss? Her undying love? A new iPod? He squirmed with anticipation. She came back in, holding a strange looking fruit. She held it out for him to examine.
"Do you like it? It's a strange type of gem found around this island," she Explained. "The natives here call it Wumpa Gems, and they grow like fruit on trees all around here. Maybe these could be something you can enjoy?" Spike eyed the jewel she held. He grabbed it, and slowly took a bite out of it. As soon as he did, flavor burst inside his mouth. He quickly ate the rest of the fruit, while Rarity watched in amusement.
"That was great! Thanks, Rarity!" he exclaimed. The unicorn smiled and nodded happily. Then, Spike remembered what he wanted to ask her. He gathered up his courage, then blurted out quickly, "Would you like to walk with me later?" Rarity looked surprised at his suddenness, but then gently raised his head as he looked down, embarrassed.
"Why, I would love to. Just let me unpack my things, and I promise that I will come join you." Spike's heart raced. She then added while she giggled, "It's a date." She was then hugged by the adorable dragon quickly, and then he ran off to go tell Twilight the good news.
"Man," he thought. "This is going to be an Awesome vacation."
Cool story.
I like it!
-this has been an official review by Dudofall
Bro.
I freakin' love Crash Bandicoot.
Especially Twinsanity
And you wrote a story of it.
All of my yes.
Trixie's gonna stun Rarity, and take her place to lure Spike into a trap? Oh, that I have got to see.
Crash Twinsanity was an extremly hillarious game.
Luna could be Madame Amberly
N. Gin could be Snips and Snails
Some random Bisons could play the natives
A younger made-up relative of Trixie as Nina (Nina was made up for Twinsanity, so it fits.)
The Alicorn Amulet spirit possessing the mask for Uka-Uka. And a good version for Aku-Aku.
Spyro could be a transformer, or some other crossover. How about instead of Spyro you just have Crash and/or Cortex?
4117747 My only problem with it that it's pathetically unfinished. Ever tried going that game's history? Man there was a lot awesome stuff cut out. One day I hope we get a remake.
Are you planning on including some of the cut stuff, Stardust Speedster?
4118285 Yeah, there's enough to do a "Did You Know Gaming" segment. There was even a cut level planned likely between "High Seas Hijinks" and "Evil Academy" involving Cortex traveling into Coco's mind.
4118328 There's more than the internet mentions. For example, doesn't it seem strange the N. Trophy and N. Brio come out of nowhere, knowing that you're supposedly hunting treasure?
The concept and story board art reveal that when the Cortex reacts to when Twins first bring up the treasure, there was supposed to cutaway to N. Trophy quickly overhearing them while spitting out his tea.
4118343 The handwave in the finished product is supposedly that Dingodile told them about the treasure, having overheard Cortex mutter about treasure at the end of "Slip Slide Icecapades". Speaking of which, after that level there were plans for a different intro to "High Seas Hijinks". Including an N. Gin voice more in tone with his earlier appearances in the franchise.
(Arguably the best alternative intro that should've been included.)
4118360 I like this cut plot point:
I like this alternate one too:
And two more:
4118379 Numer 8 really should've been included. The finished product lacked any sort of explanation as to where Crash got Mecha Bandicoot.
4118389 I would've taken the ability to skip some cutscenes for multible playthroughs. Or make Evil Crash not glitch into place in the PAL Version.
4118411 Yeah.
4118411
Hmm. I did think about Luna being Madame Amberly(although nowhere near as fat)
That was also a really good idea for the natives, thanks for that
As for the other recurring baddies, you'll see next part. And I do plan to include some of the lost levels or backstories that the game cut out. For example, the Vice-Versa Reversa Device, which was only mentioned in one scene. Even with all the missing content, I hope I can make this story as good as the game itself.
