DLC #139 - Crash Bandicoot : Warped - Future Tense

Just as with Lost Treasures, Future Tenses adds a solitary level to the N'Sane Trilogy, along with a further 2 trophies to go along with it.

Where Stormy Ascent within Crash Bandicoot was a pre-existing level which was cut from the final build of the game, Future Tense was brand new, and built specifically for the N'Sane Trilogy, bundled in as DLC to compliment Crash Bandicoot : Warped.

However, unlike Stormy Ascent, the challenge here is much more leisurely, with 2 trophies that can be mopped up within just 1 casual playthrough of the level.

Beating the level and collecting all boxes will award 1 trophy, with the other being awarded for using the bazooka to shoot any of the UFO scientists that can be seen occasionally travelling through the background of the level.

It should take no longer than 20-30 minutes to beat the level whilst earning all boxes. There are a couple of tricky sections, and there is a death route to account for, but if you've beaten the Lost Treasures pack prior to this, then this is a nice come down to complete the Trilogy.

Once you've managed to reach the death route, dying becomes inconsequential for the rest of the level, and it is a little bit surprising there isn't a trophy for beating the level in time trial mode for a Gold Relic, which had a heavy emphasis throughout the entire Trilogy, including the other piece of DLC within. We could have had to tackle another Stormy Ascent-esque challenge here, but it wasn't to be, and ends up being a nice and easy note to finish on.
