Crash Bandicoot 2 - Piston It Away, Spaced Out Music

[DPantherful1]

62,569 people were "Piston Away" their homework time :P

3 people where too "Spaced Out" to recognize the cool music in the background :P

I, for one, am "Diggin' it :P

[focab]

I can here those guys that push you off the stage right about now ......HHUUNNNHHH!!

[xxDeadlyDECAYxx]

Was I the only person as a kid who thought this was a citadel? Or some kind of machinery tower?

[PrototypeDriverCrash]

@xxDeadlyDECAYxx LOL

i though it was a 80s factory

[briankelly130]

@xxDeadlyDECAYxx

It's the Generator Room from the first game after severe advancments in technology.

PS1>Xbox360 & PS3

[ECDT1089]

I see where Crashball's music was inspired.

[RisingRaidenX]

playing this song is hard at first but its easy and i love this song

[AmricanGir]

I SWEAR I HEARD A SNIPPET FROM POLAR'S LEVELS!!!

[HamsterPants522]

As soon as I heard this song, I immediately flashed back to moments of incredible rage and frustration while attempting to play these levels as a kid.

[milkmanv1]

Could this song be any more obvious that a member of DEVO had a hand in it? =D

[BurninNoumander]

@milkmanv1 Devo's the best!

[PrototypeDriverCrash]

1996 - 2004

only real real real Crash U_U

[MacGovernor]

@PrototypeDriverCrash No, actually it's 1996-2000.

[TheCrashProject]

@PrototypeDriverCrash "Crash Tag Team Racing" also sported remnants of the real Crash, and that was released in 2005. Should you count that in?

[PrototypeDriverCrash]

@TheCrashProject i forgot it but i knew it ;)

[supremesonicbrazil]

The bonus parts were a real pain xD

[MrDjoyahs]

Lol from 1:24 to 1;35 ooh eh ooh, ooh eh eh ooh. ooh eh ooh ooh eh eh

[ECDT1089]

I hear a little bit of Crash Ball in this

[gentherius]

@3781122 so you think crash twinsanity is stupid?

[gentherius]

best soundtrack in game :)

[SyntaxMagenta]

@3781122 And Crash of Activision= AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Spazur]

3 Scientists disliked this.

[Leonardo7032]

I download this music in my cellular

and I pay careful attention to every musical instrument

[AmricanGir]

For some reason, SOME PARTS OF THIS TUNE SOUND LIKE THE POLAR'S THEME 0_0

[CharlieBorrows]

back when i was a kid.. i used to jump into this level and not move but turn the volume up and listen to the music :)) lol

[19bluto]

ps1>xbox 360

[MrDjoyahs]

@19bluto I say fuck the entire xbox generation!

[19bluto]

@MrDjoyahs well said



[SlimShadySyndrome]

Anyone ever noticed the red ring antennas on the two robots in these levels, the robot in the sewer levels, and the camera thingies in the future levels in crash 3?

[SyntaxMagenta]

@SlimShadySyndrome If you're talking about those laser devices in the Future levels, they have blue ring antennae, but they look similar.

[tuffy1992]

I hated those shrink rays.

Either way, this game was awesome.

[Andyy127]

This game is like family to me, it's like a brother too me.

[msfwb]

hah this track sounds a little Dr. N. Tropy's theme song (crash bandicoot 3). :D

[analdora]

WOAH! *flap flap flap*

[Smashbrosforlife]

The first time i played spaced out, i didnt die once. Now as a 15 year old kid who is trying to 100% crash 2, and then move on to 3, wotc and twinsanity (fuck cott, and cmom) i can't get three feet without getting shot by a godamnmotherFUCKING shrink ray gahh

[specter0805]

I think Crash Bandicoot 2 has better soundtracks than Crash Bandicoot 3.

[MUSTASCH1O]

Electro FTW!

[orlen13]

i dont how they make soundtrack so fiting and catchy for EVERY single level in this game, but this is just genius

[DumpsterKnight]

This music is awesome, It has this perfect "pickup and go" feeling that defines the gameplay of most crash games, shame they don't make them like this anymore though

[mamaluigi0631]

Whoever likes this music is stupid.They should love it.

[sterlin0325]

@mamaluigi0631 shut up

[Maneru2011]

I'm not a native english speaker, can someone explain me what "Piston It Away" is supposed to mean? Didn't figure out that yet...

[MsAllosaurus]

Naughty Dog rocked the whole world with their Crash Bandicoot songs, they were truly indulging to us all, espcially this theme, it's being back in the 80's with all those cool movies were happening, such as Highlander, Tron, Godzilla 1985, Gremlins and a whole lots of other stuff, yes Naughty Dog brings the 8 back in 80's. NaugtyDog why did you leave us... ever since you left Crash; NaughtyDog Crash and Cortex went to a whole propel wish you'd come back. LONG LIVE NAUGHTYDOG and CRASH BANDICOOT!

[werein12345]

@MsAllosaurus this game was created in the 90's idiot.



[MsAllosaurus]

@werein12345 Buster I already knew that this was made in the 90's because for thing I had this game when I was 4 years old, but NaughtyDog made this theme sound 80's which is my favorite group of years and it was some great years so say that I'm an idiot if they composed the music on this level to an 80's theme.

[werein12345]

just got 100% in crash 2, and after i was done with the game, i couldnt get this stupid song out of my head xD

[TheBlueNetNavi]

One of my favorite levels... Damn the trap where you get shrunk.. D:

[wagnermaurente]

Interconnection: 1:36 to 1:52

Interconnection is a way to make the music repeat without having to stop. It's a cool part, and I like to identify this on CB games. This is just a way to "connect" the end and the beginning of the song!

[hamachiplayer]

@wesleytg7

It's because of the shrink rays got you again. GOD DAMMIT! Those things are dangderous. Why are they laying on the wall where everyone are walking. Dunno... But let's enjoy this fantastic piece of an art.

[Mcffe]

3 people couldn't get past the pushing scientists

[BrianMinor25]

I never quite understood WHY Crash had to go to these two levels. They were mighty fun and I enjoyed them like all the rest, but... Why would Cortex send Crash to get crystals for him in his own laboratory where his face is clearly on the wall? 0_o

[neilb96]

@BrianMinor25 cuz he dropped some in his lab, and cortex is a lazy ass lol

nah jk, idk why but that is a very good question

[jmario232]

Actually Travler's Tales is good at making Crash games but not as good as Naughty Dog. I respect Radical Entertainment's Crash because it is very fun but it plays to differently so I feel it is not Crash but an entirely different game with the characters in it.

[jodi106]

@jmario232 i don't like how viracious visions has changed up crash bandicoot games though.

[WHATISUTUBE]

Great bass

[Hajeh22]

The most epic soundtrack in a game, ever.

[AmricanGir]

"A Trip to a Deep Resort" Bases of this idea...

You know the Shrinkrays...

Except that one had UNAWARE VORE (LOL X3 )

[AmricanGir]

3 people were shrunken and crushed by me :D

[MrDjoyahs]

@AmricanGir Lmao you really like to be funny and talk alot don't you?

[LGLEGO138]

@crystalkirby if you use crash's spin attack at the right time, it will not affect crash

[AmricanGir]

is it me, or do I hear a bit of "Polar" in this one

[m1el1puol1m1es]

*Breaks open a checkpoint crate just before gets shrunk to death*

Problem, shrink rays?

[ocaraquemudoudeideia]

@m1el1puol1m1es troll face

[milkmanv1]

@m1el1puol1m1es <=D CRASHFACE

[paleface171]

@OxenOrb The seals and Penguins were just there, the scientists were told to fight you.

[roguetrip99]

Mad Gear Zone in Sonic 4 reminds me of these levels

[Cyborg290]

It's kinda cool when you get shrunk and catch a checkpoint before the level restarts itself.

[Transmorph667]

There are those damn hot pipes again!

[Cyborg290]

Cortex was kinda easy... *dissapointed face*

[crashandcynder]

@Cyborg290 well it was more of a chase scene than a fight

[gravijiga]

Anyone who hasn't danced or done the robot to this song at least ONCE fails at life.

[BobsleighTV]

best part: 0:40 to 0:46

[Aeoncalcos91]

Crash: Here I come Cortex. Get ready to get blown up.... again!

[lantern26]

i hated those piston jumps where i have to jump across b4 the way closes on me and i fall... or get crushed.

[Kurasshuerou91]

crash 1:good

crash 2:very very good EPIC!!!!!

crash 3:not bad

ctr:good like crash 2

crash bash:good

[Sonar009]

@Kurasshuerou91

Except the Crash Bach racing levels. *shiver*

[TheEmpireStartsHere]

@Kurasshuerou91

Crash 1 : Very good, we'd expect more

Crash 2 : It is getting popular

Crash 3 : Good at its level

CTR : Classical : D

Crash bash : wired story but crash 5 was build for multiplayer, you can tell

other crash games : Dissopointed

[machinimafan77]

@TheEmpireStartsHere What about Twinsanity? That was an awesome game.

[legendsovalracer]

oh come on i lose 111111111111111111111111111111­111111111111111111111111111111­111111111111111111111111111111­111111111111111111111111111111­111111111111111111111111111111­11111111 lifes in these levels :c

[PhantomKode]

You know that you can spin the electric balls that the shrink ray shoots. I just figured that out recently. Makes those tight situations a little easier

[TheNitroiMPACT]

Pissing it away

[44eelz]

this so better than normal electronic/techno music on so may levels

[mgtechknow]

Ahh...good times....well, except when those shrink things hit and I thought I was still alive...

[nerdypassion]

Naughty Dog. Thank you for making the Ps1 era legendary, you and insomniac made what I call gaming.

Also CrashKing, thanks for the unforgettable music. :)

[MrDjoyahs]

1:26 to 1:36 o eh o. o eheh o. o eh o. o eheh i like those sounds

[OnyxHoodSpy]

The komodo brothers disliked it.

[wallaby9D8]

this song is very catchy,it's stuck in my head forever!

[inivonwini]

Th nostalgias!!

[Tr3L0sGLaDy]

1 person cant beat a stupid scientist

[Yosher21]

The person that disliked this got shrunk, SOMEHOW... :3

*holds shrink ray behind me*

[machinimafan77]

Anyone else think Crash has cooler music, characters, levels and story than Mario?

[wallaby9D8]

@machinimafan77 i do :D

[AlphaRocketX]

@machinimafan77 Yes.

[werein12345]

@machinimafan77 not the story, but the platforming is brilliant.

[machinimafan77]

@werein12345 Well, I'm not saying it's an epic story or anything, but it's not like Mario where 90% of the games revolve around rescuing the Princess.

[SyntaxMagenta]

@machinimafan77 If it was classic Crash vs classic Mario, then I would agree all the way, but I do like Mario games as well. But if it was modern Crash vs modern Mario, then my favour would tip otherwise. Those new Crash games are just strange. And you know what they are, right? CoTT & MoM. At least the new Mario games are showing some signs of decency still. But its just my opinion though.

[machinimafan77]

@SyntaxMagenta Yeah I agree, new Mario is good but New Crash is just... meh. So new Mario definitely wins over new Crash.

[Soki7000]

I remember when I first played this I alwayd thought "Piston" was a bad word.

[Crimsonum]

Cortex disliked again!

[machinimafan77]

@Crimsonum Lol why would Cortex dislike his awesome Space Station theme?

[Crimsonum]

@machinimafan77 Because Crash beats even his awesome Space Station? ;)

[Left4Hunters]

always loved these levels becaus you could easy take a break

[wizzlekidd]

all music on crash 1,2,3 are AMAZING.

[imperialtrooper2008]

This has to be my most favourite Crash music ever! It's just so catchy, it makes me want to dig out my PS1 and play the whole game again...

[TrackStarAA1]

The Scientist pushed 1 Person off the edge

[DaxterD1]

Mr Scientist Guy: GEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Crash/Player 1: Lol.

[jasjor09]

Crash mind over mutants es lo peoooooooooooooor es todo facil.

[catsgomoo2]

@Rayhander That scream is actually called the "Howie Scream". Search on YouTube, it's awesome. Wilhelm Scream is short and sweet. Howie Scream is long and sweet. (That's what she said.)

[TheCreator4]

piston it away? i don't get it...

[Ultimuted]

@TheCreator4 Pissin it away...

[MrDjoyahs]

1:26 to 1:36

[Tr3L0sGLaDy]

awesome

[ThePoomanga]

best bit of music in cb2 o.o

[EmissaryTwilight19]

Damn It.... Crash just isn't the same without Naughty Dog. They just had to sell it to other producers, and because of that all we have now is shitty Crash of the Titans.

[animefreakculicious2]

You know what I hate about the shrink rays, when you think you've just missed them, but then you get smaller and smaller then you're like oh damn...I got hit!! Still a fun level with those lab workers screaming. EYYYAAHH!! when that happened I was like woah not expecting that!!

[MeanestBean3]

1:23- 1:37 is mah favorite.

[AwesomeReo]

Piston It Away is such an awesome level name.

[machinimafan77]

Bandicoot Deathcry: "Woah!"

Human Deathcry: "DERRAAAAAGGHHH!!"

[MeanestBean3]

When I learned you can actually spin the shrink ray thing and kill it, this level became easier by a lot!

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

You can kill a shrinking ray by spinning on it. =O

Never knew that.

[bananadude796]

@MeanestBean3 You can do that? You just saved me from committing suicide.

[WorkFour4]

0:55 best :D

[Rayhander]

Scientist: HUNGH! HUNGH!

Crash:*spin*

Scientist: HUNGH!

Crash: *slide*

Scientist: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! rofl

[TheHackerCalledJKL]

Lol thats right

[catsgomoo2]

@Rayhander That scream is called the "Howie Scream". Search on YouTube, it's awesome.

[Kriegsmarine0]

@Rayhander

that can be translated a many number of ways

[alluurpo]

@Rayhander lmao!

[LiamTheSheffieldOwl]

@Rayhander i never get bored of doing that :')

[EmotionCreator]

@Rayhander

Have a Nitro box behind the scientist:

Scientist: GAAAAAA- *explosion*

[paleface171]

Music goes with the levels perfectly.

[kbpld]

NNYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH.

lmao

[Mygoran]

Yeah... Shrink rays... sometimes i thougth "peh! that was close!" until i realized im getting smaller... -.-'

[tecno98]

isnt it a door??

[Rayhander]

everytime i get hit by those gay shrink rays all i say to my self is 'why am i getting smaller? FUCK time to jump off to the side' rofl

[pieboy6000]

haha I'll easily kill this scientist and-

"YOOOUURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AGH!"

Holy shit.

The Howie Scream was the last thing I expected to be in crash bandicoot 2 after its appearance in crash 1.

[TheHackerCalledJKL]

i got no words im realy disspoitend that naughty dog sell crash game to other stupid companies =( spcecialy when that stupid crash of the titans comes out =(

[haxor758]

@TheHackerCalledJKL Lets get somethin strait here.. to you and those 16 other people i always wondered crash did so well for naughty dog.. Why the fuck would they sell it. and it turns out they didnt they lost the rights after they were bought out buy a company and then bought again by sony. they lost the rights to sierra and then when that fateful day happened crash and my childhood.. went down the shitter.

[elijahhandley]

This sorta reminds me of Oxide Station in CTR

[ChineseWood]

I love the infantry cry when he's falling down !

''NNYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH''

[SilverRocks29]

hahaha all i gotta say is FUN!! haha love this level:)

[yourballsareinert]

DUMMMMMMB SHRINK RAYS!

[GavsEvans123]

DYAAARGH!

[crystalkirby]

Bloody shrink rays... still get me today!

[MeanestBean2]

If you spin they dont hurt.

[peppercat1515]

@crystalkirby Somethin fun you can do if you get hit with a shrink ray and r gonna die anyway - hit an enemy that will do a regular kill on you, it makes a miniature angel.

[Sonar009]

@crystalkirby

You can jump around them by moving towards the screen mid jump, and then reverse your momentum to land on the other side, without even passing directly over the platform. It's kinda hard to describe.

[crystalkirby]

@Sonar009 I've also read it's possible to simply spin them =P

[Sonar009]

@crystalkirby

That doesn't feel as ninja-like as I prefer to play, but that also works, yeah. :P

[tuffy1992]

@crystalkirby i know! first time i went through this level I was like HOLYSHIWTFNOOO!! die it made me angry :)

[MrJikkii]

piston it away had the hardest box gem in the game, and spaced out had the hardest skull route. Great levels.

[sd6636]

This is a really happy song for a final level

[TheTrueChaosUnifier]

That's why I consider the Rocket Pack levels to be the final levels of the game since they have that more final level feel to them, this song is still awesome though

[halfdude]

did anyone notice that the big round tank things look very similar to the tank-pillars in Crash 1's Generator Room level? I suppose maybe this place is a next-gen Cortex Generator Room?

[numbuh745]

it is, but its in the Cortex Vortex.

[numbuh745]

Lol, I remember when i first got this game for PS1. I'd always fall right into that shrink ray trap.

[MultiGLaDOS]

Cortex was still the cool bigheaded genius back then in 1998 i think.

[halfdude]

Hehe, I remember this level. The one with the shrinking rays that shrink Crash until he poofs out of existence. XP

[BPhoenixProductions]

I love seeing the concept art for games.

[zincpolar]

but still I love the song and the level

[zincpolar]

yes i hate this too , is very hard

[NeoCortex34]

Fucking hate these levels, ESPECIALLY Piston it Away, i always do the 2 of them last.

[crashtiny22]

me level favorite the crash two.i like music.

[mac081793]

Oh man! The death skull platform on this level is way freaking insane!

[davedarunner2000]

on one of the pipes u see cortex face

[Raposter]

On a bunch of pipes throughout the game u see his face lol.

[punchbuggy1970]

yeah lol In the game i got for PS2 he's in a western town with his face on a wanted poster
