==Biography==
===Crash Bandicoot===
After Crash escaped from Cortex Castle upon being rejected by the Cortex Vortex, Cortex began testing on Coco in the hope that she would prove to be more intelligent and loyal than her brother. 
During these tests, Coco, like her brother before her, was forced to endure and survive nearly impossible odds while Crash made his journey back to the castle to rescue her and Tawna. During these tests, Dr. N. Gin, who was applying for a job as Cortex's henchman at the time, noticed Coco's high intelligence and decided to teach her about mechanical engineering, something which would ironically help her defeat him in the future. 
Coco continued with the testing until she eventually escaped from Cortex Castle herself using a hidden escape hatch. Afterwards, she found Crash after he had defeated Cortex, and the siblings have been living with each-other ever since, albeit as mutants instead of regular animals.
===Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back===
Coco is first seen in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back living on N. Sanity Island with Crash. One day, when the battery for her laptop runs out, she sends Crash off to find a replacement battery for her. When Coco discovers that Crash is gathering crystals for Cortex, she becomes suspicious of Cortex and decides to hack into his computer to see what he's really up to. What she finds are detailed schematics for an improved Cortex Vortex and a suspicious-looking space station. She learns of Cortex's real plan, just as Crash has gathered all the crystals, and reveals Cortex's intentions to Crash before he can give the crystals to Cortex. She appears beside N. Brio and her brother when they are blowing up the Cortex Vortex.
===Crash Bandicoot: Warped===
In Crash Bandicoot: Warped (in which she is a playable character), Coco is called upon by Aku Aku to use Doctor Nefarious Tropy's Time Twister Machine and gather the powerful crystals in their original places before Cortex does so. Coco helps by gathering the crystals in 17th century China, the 18th century Pacific Ocean, and World War I Europe. She is also responsible for the defeat of Doctor N. Gin on the moon, with her new pet tiger, Pura, assisting her.
===Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex===
In Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, Coco activates a new portal chamber she created for Crash to use when the Elementals wreak havoc on Earth. She helps Crash gather the power crystals needed to stop the Elementals by collecting them in a tsunami-ravaged Asia and an avalanche zone. She also stops an armada of Cortex's space stations from striking Earth. Near the end, she helps Crash and Crunch escape from Cortex's malfunctioning space station.
===Crash Twinsanity===
In Crash Twinsanity, Coco is ambushed by Doctor Neo Cortex in order to lure Crash into a trap. Many moments later, Coco believes that Cortex kidnapped Crash, and travels to the Iceberg Lab to confront him. With a swift kick, she attacks Cortex and sends the Power Crystals he was holding flying into the Psychetron. The resulting chain reaction leaves Coco unconscious until the end of the game. Due to a glitch, Crash will be hurt if he touches her while she's paralyzed.
In an earlier version of the game, Coco was to have a much larger role, helping Crash and Cortex gain access to the Airship by hacking into the security system of Cortex's old castle in stages that parodied the Matrix series. Additionally, a deleted level named "Gone a Bit Coco" would see Cortex traveling into Coco's Brainovial Hyperbarium through a malfunction in the Psychetron, encountering many "pastel-colored horrors".
===Crash of the Titans===
In Crash of the Titans, Coco is in the intro where she is seen with a device to recycle butter. She is captured by Dr. Neo Cortex's airship and is taken to Cortex Castle. When Nina replaces her uncle, Dr. Neo Cortex, Nina has Coco brainwashed and is forced to finish the Doominator robot that the villains intend to use to destroy Wumpa Island. It's also hinted that either Uka Uka or Nina, or maybe even both, plans to kill the girl once she's outlived her usefulness. She ends up completing the Doominator, but is rescued by Crash and is able to stop it using her "Transpalooper". She offers Crash and Crunch to have pancakes to celebrate at the end of the game. 
===Crash: Mind Over Mutant===
Coco is a playable character in the co-op mode of the Wii and Xbox 360 versions of Crash: Mind Over Mutant. Because her animations would take up too much memory in the PlayStation 2 version of the game, the role of a second player character is taken by Carbon Crash instead. At the beginning of the game, Coco converts the Doominator's eye into an entertainment system. After seeing an infomercial advertising the "NV", a do-anything personal digital assistant, she receives an NV along with Crunch and quickly becomes addicted. Soon enough, the NV transforms her into a ferocious beast who tries to destroy Crash using a giant basketball-launching machine. After being defeated and informed (to her disappointment) that the NV had a negative influence on her, she uses the Doominator's eye to access Cortex's blog and learn what Cortex is planning. She is accessible as the second player's character from that point on. Coco has one other available skin that can be worn by accessing the chest inside of Crash's house. This other skin is the same clothing from Crash of the Titans (minus the headband) and her hair is in a ponytail. Carbon Crash is also one of Coco's skins.

Coco is captured alongside Crunch and Fake Crash by Dr. Nefarious Tropy and brainwashed by N. Trance to aid the villains in their plans for world domination.
