* ''It's About Time'' is a breakout role for both Coco and Tropy, and as a result of their in-universe prideful and thin skinned personalities in previous games, conveys them as a SpotlightStealingSquad, being every bit dignified, competent and superior as they believe they are, with Crash and Cortex demoted to their bungling second bananas.

* ''Crash of the Titans'' is mostly from the perspective of Crash himself. Everyone else is incredibly eccentric and difficult to understand, but otherwise rather friendly towards him from effect of his simple but very laid back personality. Crash is also most likely to see Tiny of all people as a soft spoken genius from his POV.

[[WMG: The reason for the constant characterisation shifts is because [[SelfServingMemory every game has a different character POV.]]]]
Nearly every title has a certain character in main focus and thus the characters are conveyed from their perspective and their own personal opinions of them:
* ''Crash Twinsanity'' is incredibly Cortex-centric, so the game fixates on the entire world unfairly being out to get him and Crash being little more than braindead embodiment of all his misery and contempt.
* ''Crash Tag Team Racing'' revolves around Von Clutch, thus everyone else is utterly chaotic and shares his affinity for carnage. His fanboy view of the Crash characters also leads them to act like the "theme park version" of themselves and being exaggerated to one defining characteristic.

[[WMG: Krunk from ''VideoGame/CrashNitroKart'' is an atheist, or at least of different faith than the Terrans from the Team Cortex ending.]]
If the Terrans worshipped Tiny (or his exact double) and even built a temple for him, you'd think Krunk would acknowledge him in some way when meeting Team Cortex, but the two barely interact. The reason? Krunk doesn't believe in the Tiny-like deity, he didn't even bother to remember what his statue looks like or even see it.

[[WMG: Ebenezer Von Clutch is actually [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Rudol von Stroheim]].]]
They both are German WW2 veterans with cybernetic implants who [[HeelFaceTurn eventually team up with the heroes]], except in Crash's universe Stroheim wasn't killed under Stalingrad. After the war he surrendered to the Americans who, in exchange for copying his modifications, helped him [[KarmaHoudini evade punishment for his crimes]] by changing his name and biography, and also gave him a power source for his life support system, which is why he's been living for so long. Later, to prove that "GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE WORLD'S FINEST!", he created a vast automobile franchise and, after becoming a Crash fanboy, a racing theme park. You know the rest.

[[WMG: Tawna and Coco are the same person]]
The reason Tawna hasn't been seen since 1 is cause Coco is the Jekyll to Tawna's Hyde, and Crash is too much of a ditz to know what that means.

[[WMG: Ripper Roo was considered a failure because he liked hugs.]]
Probably much like what Cortex did to Nina, Ripper Roo was probably a huggy fellow even after Cortex's first attempt with the Cortex Vortex. Cortex probably didn't like this too much and as such, bound Ripper in a straitjacket and tried again. Ripper Roo's insanity was probably due to an overexposure to the Vortex. It's a strange theory, but think about how all of his recolored skins in ''Nitro Fueled'' seem to texture his straitjacket like various patterned sweaters; something soft and cozy.

[[WMG: Ripper Roo is ObfuscatingStupidity.]]
He's probably a lot smarter than he looks if he can get a doctorate and run for state governor.

[[WMG: A future game is going to reference the infamous Emu War.]]
A wacky wildlife-related endeavor that took place in Australia? Sounds like perfect fodder for Crash Bandicoot to me. This could range anywhere from a brief joke [[AluminumChristmasTrees that sounds too silly to be true]] to a full-on military-themed emu boss who might actually be a [[OldSoldier stupidly old veteran]] of the actual Emu War, or at least a younger descendant of such.

[[WMG:Cortex is hispanic]]
His surname could be a deformation of Cortez, with the X added because he thinked was cool. Also Neo is a word from Latin and means New. Also is daughter/niece name Nina is from Latin origin. Other proof is that he says to have served in Da Nang, with likely means that is from US or Australia. Given the racism during the 50s/60s towards Latinos, maybe his "evilness" is desire to revenge.

[[WMG:Hypothetical Crash game post N. Sane Trilogy]]
(Outside of Crash Team Racing remastered, at least)

1) If Cortex (and/or Uka Uka and Tropy) can come out of their condition in the end of ''Warped'', then the new game would at least explain how. I've got a hunch that the Evil Twins from ''Twinsanity'' might be involved as they can jump through space and dimensions.

2) Assuming Cortex (and/or Uka Uka and Tropy) doesn't come back, then my guess is that the next main villain would be Brio. With Cortex out of the picture, Brio would be free to further his ambitions of world domination with his mutated animals. He might be the one behind Rilla Roo's creation, and/or maybe even Crunch. N. Gin might be coerced to work with him, or instead allies with Crash to stop him (simply beacuse he's more loyal to Cortex).

[[WMG:Crash has a neurological disorder of some sort.]]
Hence his inability to produce coherent speech and occasionally erratic behaviour. He can probably communicate in sign language, but not many people besides Coco know it, so he's self-conscious about it. It's easier for him to play it off as being a mute lunatic.

* After N. Tropy is defeated, Uka Uka and Cortex both berate the Bandicoots with NiceJobBreakingItHero regarding the Time Twister, which does eventually fail. Yet it only fails after you've completed all you need from it to beat the two. The N Sane trilogy shows that Coco learned how to control it. Perhaps all that time she spent standing around was actually her first learning how to use the Time Twister, and then keeping it intact long enough for them to finish the job? And nothing says Cortex couldn't have been doing something on his end of the Time Twister either. But since neither of them had Trophy's expertise, the Time Twister eventually collapsed on itself.

* N Tropy is a blue-skinned man with a clockwork body who, upon defeat, seems to revert into energy while leaving behind his broken clockwork body. This does not seem to be a human, but instead some form of RubberForeheadAlien from a planet whose society has mastered time travel. Such a society would fit the clock-obsessed, SteamPunk styled planet seen in Crash Nitro Kart, the third planet, Fenomena.

Assuming that the original trilogy is being remade for the PS4 from the ground up, it is a possibility that the story for the original game will be expanded upon with more cutscenes, including some showing how Tawna is more than just a DamselInDistress as she tries to escape from Cortex by herself but is outmatched by Cortex's minions at every turn. And she will appear in the remakes of the other two games, providing more detail about her relationship with Crash.

[[WMG: The Crash Bandicoot, Jak , Uncharted and TLOU are in the same universe]]
Crash takes place on a prehistoric Earth (explains the animals) and Jak takes place millions of years later when all most the Crash fauna gave gone extinct except for the plants which have become domesticated in Samos' hut.

Uncharted takes place in present day where some remnants of Crash and Jak (like wumpa fruit and precursor orbs) are present in the world but ridiculously rare.

TLOU takes place in an alternate timeline where Nate failed to stop the baddies in U1 from escaping with El Dorado with the spores/dust that makes people into runners. People then experimented on that to accidentally create the mutated Cordecepys Fungus in the game.

I deleted my other WMG; I came up with that one at the same tme as the other and, again, it's a little uncomfortable to me as an adult.


[[WMG: Nina and N. Gin are related somehow, at least from CTTR on.]]
When CTTR came out, N. Gin's skin color was changed to grey, and his hair became black. Later, his grey skin got a bit bluer. Nina has a similar color scheme. Now, ''how'' they're related is up to interpretation; many would gather he's probably a father or uncle, but given the [[VagueAge vague ages]] of the characters, he could just as likely be her brother/cousin. This would also mean that he's related to Cortex.

Deleted one of my old WM Gs; I came up with it when I was a kid and as an adult I don't feel too comfortable with it anymore.


[[WMG: N. Gin is [[YoungerThanTheyLook younger than he looks]]]]
While he is usually assumed to be an adult, we have to keep in mind that he's short, childish, and seems to have a crush on Coco (meaning she's either [[OlderThanTheyLook older than she looks]] or this theory). He seems to mention high school a lot, but keep in mind that he's an evil genius, so he could have graduated early. [[CloudCuckooLander Or he's just insane.]]
