Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.
Europe
We’ll kick things off with the European variant. This design sees Crash, Neo Cortex and Nitrous Oxide speeding over a checkered flag with the game’s flaming logo in the top left corner. It’s not the most interesting thing to look at, but it certainly tells you everything you need to know about the game.
North America
The North American design uses similar character sprites to the European counterpart, but the trio now race through a desert landscape. There are a couple of tweaks to Crash and his kart, and there’s the inclusion of the giant clock in the background, but the change of scenery is the big selling point here.
Japan
Well, this is a little more ‘graphic design is my passion’. The Japanese design puts Crash and Neo Cortex front and centre, but the models are a little more… shall we say, game-accurate? The giant clock still looms in the background, but we can’t seem to steer our gaze away from Crash’s cold, dead eyes.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
