Just play the N. Sane version.
Inconsistent difficulty, tedious progression, a frustrating save system, bad hitboxes, bad storytelling, and a 100% reward not nearly worth the effort make for an experience more frustrating than fun.
If there's an upside, I'm very impressed by how well the remake turned out. Crash Bandicoot the N. Sane version is a blast; there's not much reason to revisit the original anymore.
