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.
Riferimenti ad altri giochi del franchise
Crash Bandicoot 4 fa diversi divertenti riferimenti ai precedenti giochi della serie. In alcuni livelli, puoi trovare statue che rappresentano boss iconici dei giochi precedenti, come Ripper Roo e Pinstripe Potoroo. Queste statue sono un nostalgico cenno ai fan di lunga data del franchise.
Livello "Thar He Blows!" e l'Orca assassina
Nel livello "Thar He Blows!", c'è una balena gigante che esce dall'acqua per cercare di divorare Crash e Coco. Questa sequenza è un riferimento diretto al classico film del 1975 "Jaws", diretto da Steven Spielberg. La scena in cui appare la balena è una ricreazione del momento in cui lo squalo emerge dall'acqua per attaccare.
Apparizioni di 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.
La maschera nascosta 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.
