==Background==
===''Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage''===
Crash was alerted by Aku Aku of the threat of Riptocs disguised as a purple dragon named Spyro and was tasked to get rid of them. During his journey to find the source of the Riptocs, Crash and Aku Aku eventually encountered Spyro himself at the edge of Wumpa Jungle and Dragon Castles, believing each other to be a disguised Ripto. However, they soon discover that they have been tricked into fighting each other by Dr. Neo Cortex and [[Ripto]], who had joined forces to rid themselves of their respective adversaries. Cortex genetically modified Ripto's "Riptoc" minions and disguised them as Crash and Spyro, so that the two protagonists will believe they are enemies and wipe each other out. Realizing this, both Crash and Spyro decided to team up against their mortal enemies.
 
Not even Tiny Tiger, [[Crush]] or [[Gulp]] can stop them, but Dr. Cortex uses his niece, [[Nina Cortex]], to kidnap Coco Bandicoot and the Professor. [[Blink|Blink the Mole]] informed Crash and Spyro of what happened to Coco and the Professor. Spyro rescues Coco and the Professor while Crash distracts Nina. Finally, Crash and Spyro defeat Nina at her own game. Coco has an idea: if they put a tracer on Cortex and Ripto, they would track them to their headquarters. Crash defeated Ripto, but he forgot to insert the tracer. Luckily Spyro defeated Cortex and he placed the tracer on him. Crash and Spyro reached their headquarters in outer space. As a team, Crash and Spyro both defeated Cortex and Ripto. They thanked each other as the games ends with a photo of Crash having Spyro in a friendly headlock, and the credits roll.
 
===''Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled''===
In this remaster, Crash's racing adventure leads him to the Dragon Realms where Spyro decides to take part in the [[crashbandicootwiki:Grand_Prix|Grand Prix]] with [[Hunter]] and [[Gnasty Gnorc]]. In the [[Spyro & Friends Grand Prix]], new challenges, goodies, and [[Spyro Circuit|a race track around the Artisans and Magic Crafters worlds]] were unlocked.


==The Clash of Heroes==
===''Crash Team Rumble''===

When Crash and Spyro finally confront each other, they fight due to the misunderstanding on (Spyro's behalf). After an explantion from Aku-Aku (Crash's ally), Spyro decides that [[Dr. Neo Cortex|Cortex ]] and [[Ripto]] must be stopped in order to save their world's from the evil duo, and put an end to their malice once and for all. They travel towards the Artic Cliffs, and Spyro then suggested that they split up to cover more ground, where at the end Cortex's henchmen, Tiny Tiger, was waiting for Crash. Crash defeated Tiny while Spyro fended off [[Crush]] and [[Gulp]].

Crash and Spyro traveled to "Fire Mountains", when [[Blink]] showed up and told them what Cortex and Ripto has done. Spyro then told Crash to follow him and they eventually end up at [[Dragon Castles]], where [[Nina Cortex|Nina]] is waiting for them. Spyro tells Crash to distract Nina while he rescues the [[Professor]] and [[Coco Bandicoot|Coco]], she then gets lured into a trap and ends up being captured by Spyro. Coco and Proffeser seems to have lost hope since their research was destroyed by Nina. Until Coco devises a plan to put "Tracers" on Cortex and Ripto, when Crash and Spyro confronts them. The battle starts between the villians and the heroes and the plan comes to effect. Cortex and Ripto got away (which was sussposed to happen), but Crash forgot to add his tracer onto Ripto as he escaped. Their plan seems to have been a "dud" but Spyro locked his tracer onto Cortex, which leads them to "Tech Park" for their final battle. Crash and Spyro challenges the evil duo one last time which takes place in space, Crash and Spyro defeated them as they end the game with a image of Crash freindly headlocking Spyro.

===Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex===
{{Voicebox
Crash, Coco, Aku Aku and Pura are having fun on the N.Sanity beach. Aku Aku is taking in some sun, Pura is building a sandcastle and Coco is riding a jet ski, with Crash attached to the back surfing. Suddenly, the earth is stunned by great disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, torandoes and tsunamies. Crash and company are caught in one of these, and Aku Aku deduces that his evil brother, Uka Uka, is behind these attacks. H[[File:Chcrashwoc.jpg|thumb|Crash in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex]]e goes to the Space Temple where the brothers have a discussion. There, Uka Uka shows Aku Aku that he has awoken the Elementals, powerful masks who control all the nature elements. Aku Aku is attacked by the Elemetals and is forced to escape. Back in Crash's house, Aku Aku tells him and Coco about this terrible menace. He then asks the female bandicoot abou her VR system, a machine that allows the user to travel to different parts of the world. Aku Aku's plan is to use the device in order to seek the power crystals. If five crstals aro reunited, an elemental mask could be put in a state of hibernation. Coco finishes the machine and, along with Crash, she uses it to gather the crystals.

Soon they realize that Cortex is also involved in this plan, and that he will use his perfect creation--the super bandicoot known as Crunch--to kill Crash and company. After collecting five crystals, Crash faces Crunch, who s using the elemental mask of earth Rok-Ko. Crash defeats him, and after getting five more crystals he beats Crunch armed with the mask of water, Wa-Wa. Later, Crash defeats Crunch with the mask of fire, Py-Ro. After that, Crunch arms himself with the mask of wind, Lo-Lo. Finally, Crash gathers the final five crystals, but these are used to open a way to Cortex's base, where Crash defeats Crunch ultimately, after being attacked by the power of all the elemental masks.

Suddenly, the base explodes, given the wrong activation of a switch, Crash, Coco, Crunch (now of good mind) and Aku Aku escape to the N.Sanity island, where Crunch becomes a new partner of the bandcoot family. In the credits, Crash is seen dancing with an affro lab assistant.
==Trivia==
*It seems that Blink did not like Crash in the beginning of ''Crash Purple: Ripto's Rampage'', due to calling him a "''stupid orange monster''". He later apologized when he found out Crash was fighting alongside Spyro.
*In the Nintendo DS version of ''[[The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning]]'', Crash can be found being roasted over a campfire in [[Dante's Freezer]].
**Crash makes a cameo appearance in the [[Celestial Caves]] level from ''[[The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night]]'' where he can be seen frozen underneath the ice.

However, they soon discover that they have been tricked into fighting each other by Dr. Neo Cortex and Ripto, who had joined forces to rid themselves of their respective adversaries. Cortex genetically modified Ripto's "Riptoc" minions and disguised them as Crash and Spyro, so that the two protagonists will believe they are enemies and wipe each other out. Realizing this, both Crash and Spyro decided to team up against their mortal enemies.

Not even Tiny Tiger, Crush or Gulp can stop them, but Dr. Cortex uses his niece, Nina Cortex, to kidnap Coco Bandicoot and the Professor. Blink the Mole informed Crash and Spyro of what happened to Coco and the Professor. Spyro rescues Coco and the Professor while Crash distracts Nina. Finally, Crash and Spyro defeat Nina at her own game. Coco has an idea: if they put a tracer on Cortex and Ripto, they would track them to their headquarters. Crash defeated Ripto, but he forgot to insert the tracer. Luckily Spyro defeated Cortex and he placed the tracer on him. Crash and Spyro reached their headquarters in outer space.
