Sony's answer to Mario, Crash Bandicoot is the lovable star of Sony's Crash Bandicoot series. Crash relies on his stunning agility and deadly spin moves to navigate numerous obstacle courses, planets, and time zones in search of power crystals.

Overview

The PlayStation hit the ground running and quickly took the gaming world by storm, there was however one thing it lacked – a mascot. Nintendo and Sega had theirs; in fact they had quite literally built empires around Mario and Sonic respectively. Thankfully Naughty Dog came along shortly after and with the help of Charles Zembillas and Joe Pearson they created a loveable character by the name of Crash Bandicoot – a crazy marsupial out to save his girlfriend Tawna from the clutches of the evil Doctor Neo Cortex.

Crash Bandicoot or Crash was created by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin. In the games Crash is described as a genetically engineered bandicoot from 3 islands southwest of Australia. Throughout his games he is often aided by friends Aku Aku, Coco Bandicoot and Crunch Bandicoot.

Nature

Crash is a mute character, the games stories are told through the dialogues that other characters have, this is to give the player a larger connection to Crash. In later games Crash's quietness became much about the likable nature of his character. Crash is never portrayed as particularly intelligent at face value yet he always achieves great things. This was really to make Crash likable and cute to appeal to a wide range of fans. In later games Crash became less of a cute gentle character and more of an insane Slapstick character. In Crash: Tag Team racing we see this change with Crash uttering nonsensical gibberish instead of being a mute. Crash obtained a more slapstick vibe in later games for example in Crash: Tag Team Racing there were certain clips called 'Die-O-Ramas' where Crash would die in a strange and often humorous way.
