First-person platforming is a tricky proposition.
I had a PSX and an N64 for most of that generation and 3D platforming (along with FPS games) is one of the areas where the more powerful N64 clearly outclassed the PSX. While Spyro was fun, it just lacked the polish of Mario (and the PSX never got a truly great FPS). The PSX just couldn't handle those games without straining too much.
Crash, while in 3D and fun, is far too linear to be a fair comparison with the free roaming Mario
