===Crash Bandicoot===
===''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.


[[File:Crash1d.png|thumb|156px|Crash in Crash Bandicoot]]Crash is first seen in Dr.Neo Cortex's and Dr.Nitrus Brio's lab. He was created by them with the Evolvo-Ray, but of course, Cortex considered him a failure due to his kind nature resulting in Cortex chasing Crash out of the castle. Crash's main objective is to clean up any pollution Dr.Cortex has left and to save Tawna,a female bandicoot and Crash's crush. He must defeat six bosses on the way: The obese tribe cheif Papu Papu, the insane Ripper Roo, the hulking Koala Kong, the Tommy-gun firing Pinstripe Potoroo, the stuttering Dr.Nitrus Brio and finally the evil, demented Dr.Neo Cortex himself. After Cortexs defeat, Crash and Tawna are seen together on the blimp,then the credits roll.
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''===
A year later, Crash is sent off to get a new laptop battery for his sister Coco, but is soon abducted by Dr.Neo Cortex, who claims he has changed his ways. Crash is then ordered to gather crystals for Cortex while fighting off oposition from Dr.Nitrus Brio, who ants Crash to gather the Gems instead. When Cortex's true intentions are revealed, Crash sends Cortex flying off into space and aids N.Brio in destroying Cortex's Cortex Vortex by gathering all 42 gems.(which are really useless
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.

===''Crash Team Rumble''===
When the remains of Cortex's space station crash into earth and set a demonic Uka Uka free, Crash is recruited by Aku Aku to use Dr.Nefarious Tropy's Time-Twisting machine to gather the powerful Crystals, defeating N.Tropy as well as Cortex, Dingodile, Tiny, and Dr.N.Gin; causing the Time-Twisting achine to implode on itself.
Crash Bandicoot and a slew of other characters from the franchise participated in competitve matches around areas shown in ''Crash Bandicoot: It's About Time''. Eventually, Ripto was brought into the fray, and Spyro and Elora arrived in Crash's dimension to battle the sorcerer when he became a problem.

===Crash Twinsanity===
====Biography====
Three years after the events of The Wrath Of Cortex, Crash Bandicoot and friends continue their peaceful lives on N.Sanity island, while Dr.Cortex (along with Uka Uka) remain frozen in a icey casam due to the failure of his recent plot. Once Dr.Cortex hits shore, the ice eventually defrosts and plots his final revenge against Crash Bandicoot once and for all. On the island Coco bandicoot was playfully chasing a butterfly unaware that Cortex was watching her. Cortex then swaps his gun to "Paralyze" and fires it at Coco and steals her clothes. Elsewhere on the island Crash was digging burrows in the sand until he was called by Cortex (terribly disguised as Coco) to come check somethng out in the bay. Crash follows unaware of the trick Cortex has planned, into a battle-like ring where Cortex stands on it's edge and removes the diguise, he then compares himself to the fleas in Crash's fur and claims to have put together a birthday party (which is just a gather of past villains). He then begins to attack Crash and, after their short fued, he reveals a 40-foot mechanical version of Crash known as MechBandicoot. Crash easily defeats it which causes Cortex so much frustration that throws himself into Crash and the two engage in a RollerBrawl. Afterward, the duo come across two familiar looking birds ho call themselves the Evil Twins. Cortex mocks their power which angers them and results in Cortex's brain being snatched out and thrown to him. They tell Cortex to run away in horror which he does cowardly. Afer a few run-ins with Papu Papu and the island Totem God they travel to Dr.Cortex's Iceberg Lab where they find themselves locked out due to the extremely cold climates of the island. Crash then follows Cortex for another entrance inside. On their way there they run into Uka Uka who's frozen in a wall of ice. Crash breaks the ice by throwing Cortex into it.
A wormhole has opened in Skylands and the great Aku Aku appears! He has come to announce the once-in-two-decades Synchronization Celebration--a time when all of the worlds align perfectly. All the inhabitants of Wumpa Island are having a party and they want to invite the [[Skylanders]]. But with [[Kaos]] on a quest to take over Skylands using his army of Doomlanders, the Skylanders must focus on stopping his evil plans. Never one to shy away from danger, the legendary marsupial Crash Bandicoot leaps through the wormhole to join the Skylanders in the ultimate battle against Kaos!
