Crash Bandicoot is a series of platform video games currently developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Activision. Initially created by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, the series was developed for its first four years by the video game company Naughty Dog. Since then, the series has been given to numerous developers before finally settling at Radical Entertainment. The series has 15 games as of 2009.

The games are mostly set in the fictitious Wumpa Islands, an archipelago situated to the south of Australia, although other locations are common. The main games of the series are largely platform games, but the majority of the games are spin-offs in different genres. The protagonist of the games is an Eastern Barred Bandicoot named Crash, whose quiet life on the Wumpa Islands is often interrupted by the main antagonist in the series, Doctor Neo Cortex, who created Crash and now wants nothing more than his demise. It's usually up to Crash to defeat Cortex and foil any world domination plans he might have.

The Crash Bandicoot series has been a commercial success, selling 40 million copies.[1]

[edit] Common gameplay elements

The first three Crash games, as well as several subsequent Crash games, were platform games. There are Aku Aku copy masks sparsely scattered throughout the levels. Collecting an Aku Aku mask while Crash already has one turns the one he has gold. Collecting another mask while Crash has a gold one grants Crash limited-time invincibility, after which the mask reverts to being gold. Getting hit will reduce the mask from gold to normal or from normal to nothing. If Crash gets hit when he does not have a mask, he will meet his end in a sometimes comical animation. In effect, therefore, masks serve as hit points.

Main collectables include "Wumpa Fruit", healthy forest fruit (based on apples), grown from Wumpa Trees, which gives an additional life to Crash when 100 are obtained. It has different uses in spin-offs, such as recovering health in Crash Bash and powering up weapons in Crash Team Racing. Other, more valuable goodies include Gems (rare jewels awarded for completing tasks such as smashing every crate on a level, or finding and completing an alternate path) and Crystals (jewels located somewhere in the main path of the level), which often play a key role in the plot. The only other collectables to note are Time Relics, featured from Crash Bandicoot: Warped and most other Crash games afterwards (collected by racing a level's time trial; in Warped, the player can win a sapphire relic by beating the established time, and a gold one by finishing even faster; this generally requires that the player pick up a move that allows them to sprint through the level) and trophies, which are featured in Crash Team Racing, Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Bash. In the Crash games of recent years, Wumpa Fruit are still present, although they serve as a means of health, with a substance called "Mojo" effectively replacing them as collectible items.

Obstacles in Crash's path include animal-like creatures and other badguys, Doctor Neo Cortex's lab assistants, various machinery and physical barriers. To surmount these, Crash can use his jump move and his spin attack. In Crash platformers after the first, he can also do a body slam, slide, duck, crawl, and perform an extra-high jump by sliding or ducking and then jumping. Starting with Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Crash can also collect a special move after defeating each boss.

In some of the Crash platformers, not including the original, some levels have a skull platform which transports Crash to a hidden part of the level. To be able to use the platform, Crash must not have died before reaching it in the current playthrough of the level. The hidden path will usually contain a hidden gem.

Most of the Crash Bandicoot series each contain around 25 levels of gameplay. In the later games, higher levels will require special moves obtained from defeating bosses. There will also be hidden levels, where bonus items can be obtained.

[edit] Crates

There are crates scattered throughout the levels. Most crates contain some form of bonus. Some have Wumpa fruits in them, and collecting 100 of the game's "Wumpa Fruit" gives the player an extra life. Others have Aku Aku masks or extra lives.

The player can get one Gem per level by breaking all of the crates in one level. The remaining gems must be collected by finding and touching them. They are invariably positioned in an area that is difficult to reach. Most gems are white, but some are colored. In the original threeCrash Bandicoot games, but in none of its sequels, some gems acquired by breaking all of a level's boxes are colored. The colored Gems in the later Crash games, except for Twinsanity, are often obtained via completing the Skull paths (mentioned earlier) or other harder, secret routes. These colored gems activate additional secret routes, which may also be needed to acquire either Gem on a level. In Twinsanity, they are scattered throughout the levels and, by finding one, extras can be unlocked.

In addition to crates that provide bonuses, there are also TNT crates. If Crash jumps on one, a three second countdown is started, after which the TNT crate explodes. Some TNT crates are useful to clear obstacles. Some crates have on them an arrow pointing upwards. Landing on one will spring Crash into the air, much like a trampoline does. With the exception of the original, there are Nitro crates in all Crash platformers. This kind of boxes must be avoided, as they can't be touched in any manner. Attacking a metal green crate with an exclamation mark on it destroys all of a level's Nitro crates.

Also present in all Crash platformers except for the original are normal crates that are protected by a metal gridlock surrounding their edges normally destroyed by using the body slam move. Beginning with the third Crash game, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, some crates are shifting crates, also known as 'slot crates'. They shift among different kinds of crates. The rate at which a shifting crate changes gradually increases, until finally the crate becomes metallic and indestructible. Also present in the newer Crash Bandicoot games, there are Time Trial crates, which can only be found on levels when in Time Trial mode. Breaking any of these crates will stop the watch that counts your time to complete the level for a limited amount of time. Depending on the number on the crate (1, 2 or 3), the watch will stop for that number of seconds until continuing counting.
