==Profiles==
===Crash Bandicoot===
*Manual (US)
"Legend has it the spirit of an ancient Witch Doctor named Aku Aku looks over the islands as a benevolent protector. Sensing Crash's mission to thwart Dr. Cortex's plans, Aku Aku has scattered masks throughout the islands to help Crash succeed. With luck, the old Witch Doctor's faith in the Bandicoot won't be misplaced."
*Manual (PAL)
"Legend has it the spirit of an ancient Witch Doctor named Aku Aku looks over the islands as a benevolent protector. Sensing Crash's mission to thwart Dr. Cortex's plans (and thereby cleaning up the pollution that he's caused), Aku Aku has scattered masks throughout the islands to help Crash succeed. With luck, the old Witch Doctor's faith in the Bandicoot won't be misplaced."
===Crash Bash===
*Manual (NTSC-U)
"Aku Aku is the fatherly spirit of a witch doctor who lived a long time ago. He has been a protective force for Crash from the beginning. He hopes that Crash and the rest of his team will sweep the arena events for the good of all."
*Manual (PAL)
"AKU AKU – the good Witch Doctor"
===Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex===
*Manual
"A kindly omnipotent witch doctor mask, Aku Aku guides and aids Crash and Coco in stopping Cortex's and Uka Uka's devious plans."
*Bradygames strategy guide
"This tribal mask may not be able to be with you in person, but he can be with you in spirit. Smash a box with his mug on it, and you'll get a boost in health, able to withstand a blow that would send you packing normally. Hit two, and you've got triple the endurance. Nab three, and you're invincible (at least for a few seconds anyway)."https://archive.org/details/crash-bandicoot-the-wrath-of-cortex-game-guide/page/n13/mode/2up
===Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure===
*Manual
"The ancient elder mask and Crash's supernatural mentor. Aku protects Crash when he gets the chance."
===Crash Village===
*In-game
"The spirit Mask Aku Aku acts like the protector and father figure of the Bandicoots. He has magically protected Crash over the years during his adventures, and frequently accompanies him offering advice and taking punches as the situation requires. Crash gets in a lot of trouble so Aku has taken a lot of lumps over the years and complains a bit, but he’ll never let his adopted family down."https://web.archive.org/web/20081230131552/http://crashmania.net/?page=momnews
===Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!===
*Promo
"Sure, he may looks like a strange, magic floating wooden mask, but… actually, yeah, that's pretty accurate. No one truly knows why Aku Aku was reincarnated as a mask (well, Aku Aku might, no one's ever asked) but his affable presence in Crash's many escapades have proven to be a life saver: quite literally – he gives Crash another chance to take in-game damage before losing a life."
