Crash Bash (Crash Bandicoot Carnival in Japan) is a party game for the PlayStation. It was developed by Eurocom. It was released in 2000. It is somewhat similar to the Mario Party series. It was the first Crash game not to be developed by Naughty Dog.
Gameplay
Crash Bash is a collection of four-player minigames. In the main game, one or two players compete in various minigames against computer opponents. After collecting enough trophies, crystals, gems, and relics, which are all collected in unique ways, one activates another set of minigames.
The minigames all fit into one of the following types:
Ballistix (Pong-like): Players deflect incoming balls in order to score on their opponents.
Crate Crush: Players attack each other by throwing crates or using an attack.
Polar Push: Players attempt to push each other off of a slippery board using a dash attack.
Pogo Pandemonium: Players attempt to score the most points by stepping on squares to turn them to their own color and hitting purple boxes that turn these squares into points.
Tank Wars: Players use a tank or tank-like device to attack each other.
Crash Dash: Players race on a circular track.
Medieval Mayhem: These levels have a variety of gameplay, such as popping certain-colored balloons, hitting mushrooms with mallets, using trails of gunpowder to destroy barrels, and a targeting game involving dragons and gems (perhaps a reference to Spyro the Dragon).
