You make him spin and accidentally shoot up the room and then fall unconscious. That\'s not Gainax. At all.

Actors aren\'t tropes. Moving YMMV. To my recollection, Tawna\'s chest is nothing more than fanservice if that, so it\'s not Buxom Is Better. Removing dumb parentheses and redundant Main.Trope Entry bits. Hey Its That Voice is Trivia. I don\'t count Uka as a Knight of Cerebus as I don\'t really recall Cortex being THAT bumbling (if at all) in the first two games. Eons and centuries are two different things. Spewing out \"time puns\" does not add or detract from having a Punny Name. Tips Worksheet 12. Whether it offends has nothing to do with the trope given. If someone\'s speaking to their subjects, how do you know if it\'s not plain old Translation Convention?


* Main/AmericanKirbyIsHardcore (Crash was "cutened" up for the Japanese release. He even got a funky dance created by the Japanese that was carried back into the American versions. Some have speculated that this design change combined with Radical Entertainment's radical character redesigns that would make such things look awkward is what's making Radical's Crash games [[Main/NoExportForYou a no-go for the Japanese]].)
* Main/AttentionDeficitOohShiny (though he somehow figures his way through Cortex's schemes rather competently, he often shows a poor attention to the problems at hand, shrugging off having his arch enemy inserted into his brain or accidentally deactivating his robot buddy).
* Main/BigBrotherInstinct (As dumb as he is, he visibly cares about his little sister, especially comes into play in later titles, [[BerserkButton threatening Coco's life]] is often one of few ways the villains can grab [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Crash's attention]].)

A genetically advanced Eastern Barred Bandicoot and inhabitant of the Wumpa Islands. Once an ordinary bandicoot, he was snatched from the wild by Doctor Neo Cortex and subjected to the Evolvo-Ray as part of Cortex's plan to make Crash the general of his "Cortex Commandos", which would be used to dominate the world. However, he was later deemed unworthy of being in Cortex's army and was dismissed from Cortex's castle. As an act of revenge and to rescue a female bandicoot named Tawna, Crash traveled through the Wumpa Islands, defeating Cortex's henchmen along the way. He eventually stole Cortex's airship, defeated Doctor Cortex, and escaped alongside Tawna, who was never seen again. Nowadays, he attempts to live a quiet life on the Wumpa Islands. However, his relaxation tends to be interrupted by another world domination plot by Doctor Neo Cortex, forcing Crash to once again defeat him in order to put his life back in order.

According to some sources however, he's not quite as big a slimeball as he lets on however).


Added DiffLines:

* Main/{{Anvilicious}} (Played for laughs in his Radical Entertainment incarnation; Crunch, trying a little too hard at being a positive role model to children, has a habit of randomly inserting short morals and lessons into his speech. Examples include ''"Avenge me! Eat a balanced breakfast."'' and ''"I feel funny, and not the ha-ha funny neither! Fold your laundry!"'')

The guardian of the Wumpa Islands and the father figure of Crash and his friends. Aku Aku is the spirit of an ancient witch doctor encased in a floating, wooden mask. When he sensed Crash's mission to stop Doctor Cortex, he scattered copies of himself throughout the Wumpa Islands in an effort to aid him in his mission. Whenever Crash possesses an Aku Aku mask, he will be shielded from one enemy attack or contact. Collecting three Aku Aku masks gives Crash temporary invulnerability from all minor dangers. He didn't become a full-fledged character until ''Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped'', in which he had his first speaking role.
