Speedrun newbie here. I love Crash Bash and all its jank, so I decided to make it my first speedrun. I have discovered that it really is harder than it looks! On my first attempt, I got 3:26:06 with Coco (1 player, Any%, no MM). I'm letting the video upload to youtube overnight, so I'll submit it tomorrow.

I'd like to speed up, and I think the first thing I can do to improve my time (besides playing Kong) is manipulate/bait the AI. Does anyone have any advice on this? Especially in the Panic levels - those are my weakness right now.

EDIT: Here's the video, in case someone wants to see me fail at Panic minigames a lot.

Hi everyone. I decided to finally try my hand at speedrunning. I just finished my first run (Crash Bash), and hopefully I'll get to try more. I also intend to try CTR, and maybe some other Crash games.

Currently, I'm just in it for fun - I don't expect to break any world records. But I'm looking forward to learning how to destroy some of my favorite games!
