## Canon in Crash Bandicoot series

Gasmoxia is the home planet of Nitros Oxide, first mentioned in Crash Team Racing but is not seen until Crash Bash. It returns as the final track location in Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, in the latter to serve as the setting for the track Drive-thru Danger.

The planet is dark, green, misty and surrounded by a poisonous atmosphere, small asteroids and a single dark green moon. Not much is known about the planet itself, other than that there are two chains of fast-food restaurant - Toxic Burger and Nuclear Pizza. Only two locations have been seen in the series: a dark, moggy refinery city and a futuristic, carnival-like city. In Drive-Thru Danger, the lights of civilization can be seen underneath the track from the upper atmosphere.

Aside from Oxide, the only other known residents are his henchmen, Zem and Zam, though they are of different species; the former being a troll like creature and the latter resembling a dinosaur. However, as shown in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, there are other inhabitants that both work for and attend the planet's fast-food outlets. There are also alien birds seen.

## Canon in Mushroom City Car Wash

Gasmoxia is the former home of Nitros Oxide, Zem, Zam, and Jason. Before the former three left the planet, it used to be an exciting place filled with lots of fun places to visit and inhabitants that had their lives filled with entertainment at every corner. However, it was also filled with lots of criminals, making it not a safe place for people outside the area to visit. One year before, Emperor Velo XXVII came to the planet in order to make a much better society, with little to no criminals, blaming Oxide for the sole reason that the planet was rampant with them. However, the galactic ruler really only wanted to do harm to the planet, forcing many citizens to leave it for good.

After Oxide left for the Mushroom Kingdom, a new ruler by the name of Cecilia II came into power, forcing many more citizens, including Zem, Zam, and Velo, to leave the planet. During this time, many people tried to fend off her army, to no avail. She also issued many wars against it for no reason except for her own personal gain, wanting lots more power to herself. After she was retconned from the Car Wash universe along with the rest of George Jones' characters, her terror-filled reign on the planet ended. However, much of what made it special was gone, the buildings and monuments were destroyed, the race courses were rendered unusable, there was barely any plant life left, and many people had perished, never to be seen again.

After Cecilia II was gone, General Speed toke over her job, and immediately disallowed any visitors unless they wanted to help him repair Gasmoxia from the military damage. After Toadette and her friends arrived on the planet, he and the group started the repairs, eventually getting it back to its original state. However, after repairs finished, General Speed instructed Oxide, Zem, Zam, and Jason to stay on the planet, forcing them to part ways with Toadette and co.

During this time, the planet did not return to what Oxide and the others remembered it being like. In fact, it was quite different. The citizens could not care less about their entertainment, the fun places that used to be popular were now empty, and the exciting atmosphere was completely gone. There was also no criminals, as they all left the planet or were killed in some way. After Oxide, Zem, and Zam signed a document, ending their citizenship with the planet, General Speed said goodbye as they, alongside Jason and N. Trance flew back to the Mushroom Kingdom in Oxide's spaceship. Since than, the planet has not been seen again in the roleplay.
