* [[Badass Decay]]:
* [[Badass Decay]]:* Crunch started out as a gruff, musclebound bandicoot with a cybernetic arm who sports army pants and boots. He went from being Crash's defiant [[Evil Counterpart]] (despite being {{spoiler|mind controlled by Cortex}} the ''entire'' game) who can change into powerful [[Rule of Cool|elemental forms]] in his debut in ''Wrath of Cortex''... to being an annoying, [[Dumb Muscle]] Mr.T knockoff (In a BAD way) who spends much of his screen time blabbering Mr.T quotes and being useless in general from ''Crash Tag Team Racing'' onward, and is an utter wuss in comparison to his original depiction: He keeps a {{spoiler|''pink'' Teddy Bear}} stashed at his home... Justified in that Crunch is attempting to atone for his past villainy by being a positive role model to children, if in a strange, haphazard fashion.
** Justified in that Crunch is attempting to atone for his past villainy by being a positive role model to children, if in a strange, haphazard fashion.
** Arguably Coco as well, while her intelligence made her arguably more [[The Hero]] than [[Idiot Hero|Crash]] in {{spoiler|[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back]] due to stopping Crash from [[Gullible Lemmings|basically handing all the crystals over to Cortex]] in his [[Batman Gambit]]}} and growing into a full blown [[Action Girl]] in ''Warped'' and ''Cortex Strikes Back'', later games dissolved her role mostly into a bratty [[Damsel in Distress]] almost as dimwitted as Crunch. Granted she arguably suffered from [[Positive Discrimination]] in early titles though the change in character was still pretty extreme.
** Let's not forget Tiny Tiger. Tiny started out as an angry, roaring monster who talked in [[Hulk Speak]]. As time went on, they started showing off his [[Dumb Muscle|stupidity]] more for comical moments, such as in Crash Nitro Kart. And then in Crash of the Titans, he somehow transformed into a Bengal Tiger from a Tasmanian Tiger, got his intelligence upped, and began acting like a campy Mike Tyson knock-off who idolizes Crash, and only attacks him because he's hired to do so.
