A couple (sorry for possible bad English sometimes):

- During school holidays I always went to my grandma during the day while my parents were at work and we often played CTR. Instead of Adventure Mode, we usually did single player arcade cups, but there were a couple of catches to it.
Whoever was playing had to pick a character and a cup with their eyes closed and then the other person would write down which character and cup that they picked. When whoever was playing wanted to pick a certain character, they had to ask whether or not they already picked that one before. The same basically went for the cups, so we made sure that we played on every cup before we would be able to do a certain cup for the second time.
During cups we would also try to fuck over Tiny as much as possible, because we both didn't like him (I'm sorry Tiny fans, I do like him a bit better now though). When Tiny was the character that we were playing as, we would lose on purpose and we would also try to help Dingodile as much as possible because we always felt sorry for him for some reason.
After both of us used every character (and so after we played 15 cups each), we would start over again. We obviously didn't do 30 cups back to back in one setting of course.

- A bit of a follow up on the previous one; one time my grandma was racing on Dragon Mines while being in first. Right before she crossed the finish line Crash passed her, which caused my grandma to shout "Goddamn shit-Crash!" (translated to English). She usually never swears so that what made it extra funny to me.
After this incident, we also tried to fuck over Crash as much as possible, just like Tiny (which wasn't that easy, considering they were always two of the fastest racers in Arcade Mode)

- When I was playing Warped for the first time when I was 6 or 7, I thought that the mech from the 4th boss battle was actually being controlled by Bugs Bunny instead of N. Gin, because I mistook N. Gin's shoulders for Bugs Bunny's cheeks...
Back then I didn't exactly knew what N. Gin looked like (besides his head), but I obviously should have at least known that it wasn't Bugs Bunny that was in there.

- Crash Twinsanity was originally supposed to be a Christmas present for me. I actually went to the store with my parents to buy it in late november/early december 2004 (I was 10 at the time and I knew that Santa Claus wasn't real so that's why they let me come along).
When we got home I convinced my parents to let me test the game for a short while to make sure that it works, because otherwise we would have to go back to the store. And so I started playing and as you may already guess, my parents let me keep playing (or at least my mother did, my father didn't like that too much, but eh)

- Speaking of the song Crash Boom Bang, apparently that was the song that woke my dad up on the day I was born. I guess that must have meant something, right?
