Crash in Bikini Bottom

Crash Bandicoot crashes into Bikini Bottom. Wherever you'd play as SpongeBob in Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, you're Crash, with his real model, textures, animations, voice and sounds, read from your own copy of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

What you get

• Crash in SpongeBob's place. He idles, walks, runs, jumps, double jumps, falls and lands with his Crash 4 animations, and fidgets when you stand still (yawn, ear pick, dance).
• Crash's moves on BfBB's buttons. The bubble spin is Crash's spin, the bubble bowl a sweeping spin, and the bubble bash his belly flop. Every move still works exactly as in BfBB.
• Crash's voice. His Crash 4 voice takes over SpongeBob's in-game lines: getting hurt, the classic "Whoa!", collecting things, beating enemies. Spins, jumps and belly flops use Crash 4 sounds.
• Wumpa Fruit. Every Shiny Object is a Wumpa Fruit, with Crash 4's Wumpa pickup sound.
• Patrick and Sandy stay themselves. Cutscenes keep their original voices, and subtitles still name the speaker "SpongeBob".
• Single player. All of BfBB's levels and your progress work as usual.

How it works

Nothing from either game is in the download. On your first Play, Melty runs a small converter that reads Crash, his animations, the Wumpa Fruit and the sounds from your Crash 4 install and converts them for BfBB (Crash 4 runs on Unreal 4.24, BfBB on 4.23). This takes a few seconds. A Lua mod run by UE4SS then puts Crash in SpongeBob's place while you play.

You need both games installed. Press Play once.
