Crash Bandicoot/Trivia


 * Creator Backlash: Jason Rubin admitted that he doesn't like the post-Naughty Dog Crash games.
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: Cortex is voiced by Debi Derryberry in a flashback to his school days in Crash Twinsanity. His appearance as a baby in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is an aversion.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Greg Eagles as Aku Aku, Debi Derryberry as Coco, Clancy Brown as Doctor Neo Cortex and Uka Uka, Maurice LaMarche as Doctor Nitrus Brio, Susan Silo as Madame Amberly, Corey Burton as Doctor N. Gin and Doctor N. Tropy, John DiMaggio as Uka Uka.
 * The Japanese version of the series features Kappei Yamaguchi as Crash, Kenichi Ogata as Aku Aku, Shozo Iizuka as Doctor Cortex, Fumihiko Tachiki as Tiny, etc.
 * Vaporware: An unknown PlayStation 2 game, Crash Bandicoot Evolution (eventually transformed into Twinsanity), Crash Clash Racing, a Pikmin - Mega Man type game called Cortex Chaos, a 2010 racing game, the aforementioned Crash Bandicoot 2010, and a PC game called Crash Online.
 * What Could Have Been: Collecting yellow gems in Crash Twinsanity unlocks "unseen extras" which apparently feature ideas and concepts that never made it into the final product. The trope is lampshaded by Cortex once: "We were going to visit two dimensions, but... we ran out of time."
 * The Wrath Of Cortex was also meant to be far more revolutionary under Mark Cerny's direction, taking on free roaming elements akin to those Twinsanity would later take on. Ultimately however developers shyed away from altering too much of the franchise and remade much of the game into a borderline copy of Warped. Remaints of unused areas and concepts actually still exist in the final game's memory (and in cases such as "Crash and Burn" and "Ice Station Bandicoot" were disguised inside the final more conventional level designs).
 * There was meant to be a game being released, which most fans call "Crash Bandicoot 2010", but it's canceled.
 * Crash Nitro Kart was originally going to be made by Traveller's Tales and Nina Cortex was made for that game.
