Konami’s Frog
One of the most notable references in Crash Bandicoot 4 is the “Toad of Konami”. In the “Run It Bayou” level, players can find a giant frog in a hidden area. This frog is a tribute to the famous Konami logo, a company known for creating classic games like Contra and Castlevania.
Referências a outros jogos da franquia

Nível “Thar He Blows!” e a Baleia Assassina
No nível “Thar He Blows!”, há uma baleia gigante que sai da água para tentar devorar Crash e Coco. Esta sequência é uma referência direta ao clássico filme de 1975 “Tubarão”, dirigido por Steven Spielberg. A cena em que a baleia aparece é uma recriação do momento em que o tubarão emerge da água para atacar.
Aparições de Spyro e Cortex
Throughout Crash Bandicoot 4, you can find brief appearances by other famous characters from the games, such as Spyro, the purple dragon, and Dr. Neo Cortex. These cameos are little Easter eggs that reference Crash’s expanded universe and give fans an extra dose of nostalgia.
A máscara escondida Aku Aku
In some levels of the game, players can find a hidden wooden mask that is not Aku Aku, but a mysterious character. This mask is called “Uka Uka” and is the evil brother of Aku Aku. Finding this secret mask is a reward for players who are willing to carefully explore each level.
