Crash Bandicoot

— Crash Bandicoot

## Summary

**Crash Bandicoot** is the titular protagonist of the eponymous series. He was genetically engineered through the use of Doctor Neo Cortex and Doctor Nitrus Brio's Evolvo-Ray, but managed to resist off Cortex Vortex's mind control. Before escaping from Cortex's island fortress, Crash became romantically attached to a female bandicoot named Tawna, who was another one of Cortex's experiments. Crash's separation from Tawna at the hands of Cortex serves as the primary root of Crash's antagonisation of Cortex. Crash is a very emotional character who is quick to laugh and quick to cry. While he has a danger-loving, fearless nature and loves a good fight, he prefers relaxing in the sun and rarely seeks out trouble deliberately. Crash has an extremely limited vocabulary, preferring to speak in unintelligible gibberish; the few English words he is capable of speaking include "Whoa!" (which he often exclaims upon being physically harmed), "Nina" and "pancakes". To the ire of his friend Crunch, but the amusement of his sister Coco, Crash is prone to impolite personal habits such as belching or scratching his posterior.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques**

* **Body Slam:** Crash jumps and slam down on anything beneath him, being able to hurt anyone else near by. He has an upgraded version called the **Super Charged Body Slam** where his slam's radius is increased and allows him to break locked crates.
* **Slide Attack:** Crash slides across the ground, kicking enemies out of his way. He has an upgraded version called the **Super Slide** where he slides faster and covers longer distance than his normal slide.
* **Double Jump:** Allows Crash to jump once again while in the air. This later appears as a normal power.
* **Crash Dash:** Allows Crash to sprint significantly faster at long distances than he usually does.
* **Sneak Shoes:** Allows Crash to sneak onto a row of unstable Nitro crates without detonating them.
* **Invisibility:** Allows Crash to be protected/untouchable by laser rays and move around undetected.
* **Rocket Jump:** Allows Crash to jump vertically high enough to reach high areas, bursting through any crates he comes in contact.

* **Magic Carpet:** After breaking the Magic Carpet crate, Crash rides on a magic flying carpet and is capable of shooting energy projectiles.
