I haven't played the remaster, but levels like Cold Hard Crash and Digin It are cold hard garbage. Most of the movement options are ultimately too much extra - the duck jump is unnatural and unnecessary, the slide interacts poorly with special floors (ice) and geometry (can slide INTO boxes, floors, etc), and even the body slam doesn't feel fleshed out.

The first game is a lot more punishing, but is much tighter. Sometimes you'll have to re-do a level, but you don't have to take a right-side path, go back, then take the left path. The jump physics in the first game aren't the best ever, but tighter than Crash 2. I don't see how Crash 2 is a good game outside of nostalgia. DKC2 is a decent game without nostalgia and an amazing game with it (or in contemporary context).
