Today's a special day, for it marks the 5th anniversary of Crash Mania! It's been a while, hasn't it? Rather than making some kind of nostalgic retrospect or something of the sort, I've decided to focus on whatever loose submissions there were left hanging around. This doesn't have the risk of wavy flashbacks. There's also a new skin and a few subtle tweaks here and there.

After the recent layoffs, many people have been asking me what's next in store for our little orange pal. Rather than replying the same thing over and over, I'll just say it here - I have no idea. Radical Entertainment is still alive, but the division responsible for the console Crash games since 2005 is essentially gone. That is the sad truth. Activision has announced no plans for a new Crash game, so the future of the series remains uncertain. I wouldn't start panicking, though - Crash is still a best-selling franchise, after all. Not continuing the series would be a mind-boggling waste of a perfectly good license, especially one that's been recently acquired. I wouldn't hold out much hope for a new game too soon, however. Even bandicoots need a vacation!

Without further ado, everyone's favourite bullet list:

• New site skin, as mentioned: Beachy Orange. Mmmm, nothing quite like a nice, big beach.
• CrashTTR, Crash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant are (and have been for a while) available as PSP downloads at the PlayStation Store. Thanks to Paulo Moreira for the reminder.
• An old Crash Bash trailer has been found by LXShadow, and it features a lot of juicy mysteries.
• New differences between versions for the following:
  - Crash 1 (NTSC-US/PAL), submitted by Brandon.
  - Twinsanity (NTSC-US/PAL), submitted by ConceptWindow.
  - CotT, submitted by ConceptWindow.
  - MOM.
• Cheat additions and updates (all by ConceptWindow):
  - A very obscure ending extension for CotT DS has been found.
  - The "No Language Funnies" glitch from CTR has been updated.
  - The Game Boy Advance version of CotT now has a list of all the Mojo upgrades.
• The Warps article has been updated (thanks go to Darking for some suggestions regarding the Crash 2 Warp Rooms).
• A Super Big Power Crystal picture has been submitted by Danyel.
• More collectible goodies:
