It’s 2026, and the gaming world is currently riding a wave of nostalgia that shows no signs of breaking. We’ve seen the N. Sane Trilogy bring the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy back to life, and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled revive Crash Team Racing. But there is one hole in the modern Crash library, a remaster of Crash Bash.
Crash Bash was released in 2000 for the Playstation. It is a fun party game, 8 playable characters and 28 minigames. It also has an adventure mode that can be played with one or two players with a challenging 201% max completion.
Here is why a Crash Bash Remastered would be the ultimate addition to the latest consoles.
The Vision: Classic Gameplay, Modern Power
A remaster shouldn’t just be a coat of paint; it should be an expansion. While the classic mini games of crate-throwing, pogo-sticking, and polar-bear-riding should remain, more can be added.
- New Minigames: Add more types of minigames and add new variants of existing ones.
- An Expanded Roster: Keep the original eight characters, and bring in more. Characters like Crunch, Nina, N. Tropy, and Tawna deserve a spot
- New Warp Rooms for Adventure Mode: The adventure mode has different warp rooms. With the new minigames, new warp rooms and bosses should be added.
What We Want to See:
| Feature | Original (2000) | Remaster Wishlist (2026) |
| Minigames | 28 Minigames | Original 28 + 16 new games |
| Characters | 8 Playable Characters | Original 8 + at least 4 new characters |
| Multiplayer | Local 4-Player | Online Matchmaking + Cross-play |
| Challenges | Gems, Crystals, and Relics | Seasonal Challenges & Unlockable Skins |
Closing Thoughts
The Wumpa fruit is ripe for the picking with this idea. Bringing Crash Bash would excite long-time Crash Bandicoot fans and would complete the recreation of the Crash Bandicoot Playstation classics.
