Proto:Crash Bash

This page details one or more prototype versions of Crash Bash.

At least six playable demos of the game were made available. In addition, two three prototypes of the game were released.

The demo versions of Crash Bash have become rather infamous due to the fact that, via a simple button input code, nearly every single level of the game can be accessed via a cheat menu, which could have had disastrous results on the game's sales had this been discovered back in 2000.
