Skew Glitch

Skew Glitch or  Tilt Glitch is a glitch where you change Crash's default angle of inclination. It impacts the physics of some movements. You can skew Cortex by grabbing him while skewed and he will stay that way when thrown unless he teleports. The main way to get skewed is by respawning after grabbing a tilted checkpoints. The inclination is relative to how the checkpoint is tilted at the moment you trigger it.

History
BetaM discovered the glitch by skipping the Humiliskate trigger in Rockslide Rumble and respawning at tilted checkpoints with Crash and Cortex skewed on the 13th of April 2013. In 2018 while trying things to make Dimension Skip possible, Gpro showed it was possible to get skewed in Iceberg Lab using the checkpoint on a moving platform and showed that you could use the glitch to clip through walls. Three days later, Joester98 reported getting skewed by just jumping into the cutscene before the Ant fight.
