  • Exactly how old is Crash and everyone else? I know this is a kids game and all, being a fan myself, but I have notice that every game has Coco goes from a small kid to a tall teenager. I'm just curious.
    • I always assumed that Crash is either in his late teens or an young adult, while Coco goes from a child or a pre-teen to a teenager. Meanwhile, most of the scientists always looked like they are in their 50s (especially Cortex, who is balding and generally looks old, but is still agile enough to fight Crash) and Nina is probably around Coco's age.
  • Why doesn't N.Tropy go back in time to prevent Cortex and Brio from creating Crash?
    • Because creating Crash causes Cortex to fail to lose the gems and the crystals. However, Cortex's bumbling defeats to Crash lead to Uka-Uka being set free. Going and stopping Crash from being made causes a paradox that stops Uka-Uka from being freed, stopping them from enlisting N. Tropy, and preventing them from going back in time in the first place.
    • Actually, According to the Manual (Or the Naughty Dog website I'm not sure anymore.) N. Tropy causes time paradox for his personal amusement. So chances are he has killed Crash. He just chooses not to stay in a time period where he killed Crash. And now that I think about it…
    • It's said in one of the manuals for the PS2 Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, which due to the Broken Base is Fanon Discontinuity for some. Perhaps he can't, because You Already Changed the Past and You Can't Fight Fate would conspire against him. Crash and Coco used the Time Twister in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped with no apparent ill effects.
  • So, as a fan of the series, I can't help but wonder why Activision hasn't made a new game considering the last one got both great reviews and sold rather well compared to previous installments, after they promised the fans not to do so. Seriously, what logic is behind withholding a new game after so long when it has a loyal fanbase, albeit a broken one, and got great reviews in the last one?
    • Because Activision only cares about Call of Duty these days. It's also the reason why they cancelled Guitar Hero as well.
    • At least one developer claimed Landed was in fact cancelled due to staff believing the game wasn't fun enough. While it doesn't excuse nearly a decade of inactivity otherwise, it's at least respectful they wanted to make a good game of Crash rather than churn out unentertaining crap.
  • So, can anyone tell me what is it Aku-aku says when you collect the third powerup and start wearing him?
    • Gibberish. Yeah, what did you expect? Some Narmy one-liner? If you expected dialogue, maybe you should look into the games after Twinsanity.
    • According to Andy Gavin, it's either "Ooga booga!" or "Uga Booga!".
  • If the design changed for the Wii titles was why it wasn't released in Japan then why didn't they just redo the models like they always had?
    • It's not just the design, it's also how they play with western pop culture references and other jokes that Japanese would find harder to appreciate.
    • Not to mention they'd have to re-animate and re-render any cutscenes that use the models.
  • How is it that in the underwater levels, Crash can swim with great ease and is very adept at moving quickly and effectively through water, yet INSTANTLY DROWNS the moment his mouth even touches shallow water in normal levels?
    • It's possible in the first and 2nd game Crash simply didn't know how to swim and starting with the 3rd game he finally learns how. But it still doesn't explain to why he can't just hold his damn breath and swim in water in normal levels(with the exception of ice levels cuz he gets frozen)without the aid of his scuba gear.....
  • What exactly are the Komodo Brothers supposed to be dressed like? Their earlier designs make their outfits more clearly Japanese-inspired, but in the series it seems rather like a mix of various different cultural outfits.
  • If Crash 4: It's About Time takes place after the third game Crash Bandicoot: Warped, How can all of the Crash Bandicoot games in the franchise take place all together?
    • They don’t. It’s basically a Continuity Reboot, except instead of going back to the very beginning, it resets to a point after some of the things from the original timeline happened.
  • Is N. Brio dead? His secret ending segment narration explained that he was captured and put in Ripper Roo's Curious Cabinet of Curiosities in the Art of Taxidermy section.
  • Is there any reason why Coco aged throughout the years while Crash and the others remained the same? We see her go from a child to young adult, but crash and Cortex don't look like they've aged at all.
  • Why did not a single human villain tried to evolve themself with the Evolvo-Ray (Uka Uka doesn't count)? If uplifted animals are so strong, then logically uplifted humans, who had already developed sapience and become the dominant species on Earth, should be even more powerful.
