Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timeis finally out, serving as a direct sequel toCrash Bandicoot: Warpedfrom the PS1. The game is stuffed full of content, including a main story, levels featuringCrash’s old flame Tawna, and much more. While playing throughCrash Bandicoot 4’s many stages, players will also come across VHS tapes, but some of them are transparent and seemingly can’t be collected.
For those wondering how to collectCrash Bandicoot 4tapes, what they need to do is reach the tapes in the level without dying once. If players do die before they reach the tape, it will be transparent and can’t be picked up. If this happens,Crash Bandicoot 4players are better off backing out to the world map and trying again so that they can get the tape and unlock more content in the game.

Crash Bandicoot 4flashback tapesadd a significant amount of content to the game, as they give players 21 additional levels to complete. On top of the other levels in the game, this brings the grand total number of stages inCrash Bandicoot 4to a whopping 107.
The actualCrash Bandicoot 4flashback tape levels should be interesting to longtime fans of the franchise. They often have unique gimmicks to make them stand out from the regular levels in the game, plus they are set before the events of the firstCrash Bandicootgame. Each tape is an experiment thatDr. Neo Cortexconducted while studying Crash and his sister Coco, so it gives players a more comprehensive look at the world ofCrash Bandicoot.
Crash Bandicoot 4’s flashback tapes aren’t the only bonus levels that extend the game’s replay value. After defeating a certain boss in the main story, players will also unlock theN. Verted versionsof every level in the game. N. Verted mode inCrash Bandicoot 4twists levels that players have already completed to create brand new challenges or show off a different kind of art style.
In future, it will be interesting to see ifCrash Bandicoot 4gets any DLC. Whilereports ofCrash Bandicoot 4having microtransactionshave turned out to be untrue, it’s possible that microtransactions could be introduced at some point post-launch. Maybe Toys for Bob and Activision will release new levels for players to complete, though it seems as though alternate costumes are the more likely possibilities forCrash Bandicoot 4DLC. But before fans can worry aboutCrash Bandicoot 4DLC, they should make it a point to get through the game’s existing levels and collect all of the flashback tapes, which should keep them busy for awhile.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timeis out now for PS4 and Xbox One.
