Background
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.
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
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.
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
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: The Wrath Of Cortex
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
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.
Crash Twinsanity
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.
