Line 72:
* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Nina showed up in Crash Purple during this game's creation. She had a completely different personality, and was used [[They Just Didn't Care|without any permission from Traveler's Tales.]]
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Crash and Cortex's shaky alliance, along with Aku-Aku and Uka-Uka's.
{{quote| '''Cortex:''' "Crash, I've been like a father to you! I created you, nursed you... [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|tried to destroy you.]] So what do you say? With my mighty intellect, [[Stealth Insult|and your vacuous stupidity]], we'll be ''unbeatable!''"}}
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Penguins|Everything's Worse With Evil Penguins]]: Evil penguins with jetpacks, who are [[It Makes Sense in Context|angry at Cortex for not paying them.]]
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: Naturally, as it is a Crash game, but Nina gets in on the spinny fun as well.
* [[Evil Teacher]]: Madame Amberly.
* [[Evil Twin]]: Evil Crash in the Tenth Dimension, but ''not'' the [[Big Bad|Evil Twins]] themselves.
Line 81:
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Victor:''' "Your failed experiment sent two innocent parrots to the ''Tenth Dimension!'' The severe reversive radioactive conditions here sharpened our skills, and ''warped'' our fragile, eggshell minds." }}}}
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Madame Amberly's bust is rather [[Squick|sickeningly ample.]]
* [[Gang Plank Galleon]]: High Seas Hijinks takes place on N. Gin's battleship, full of pirates, rats, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|missles.]]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Many, many times, though one of the biggest examples is [[Crowning Moment of Funny|the Moulin Cortex]].
{{quote| '''Cortex, sliding through the building:''' "Coming through! Ladies... Excuse me madam! Are those ''real''? ...'''Mother?!'''" }}
Line 88:
* [[Grievous Harm With a Body]]: While paired up, Crash spins Cortex around, swinging him into enemies. He can also slam the flat top of his head down like a hammer, and toss him like a frisbee.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Coco shows up at Cortex's iceberg lab, and delivers a kick to his [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|crystals.]]
{{quote| '''Coco:''' "[[You Monster!]] Let my brother go!" ''(She delivers the aforementioned kick)''<br />
'''Cortex, wheezing:''' "My crystals!" }}
* [[Human Popsicle]]: Cortex is seen this way just before the title screen, frozen with Uka-Uka chasing him. Later on in the game, Crash and Cortex find Uka-Uka frozen in a different block of ice, and break him free.
Line 103:
* [[Incoming Ham]]: "Cower you fools before the awesome might of...The Evil Twins!"
** Dr. Cortex displays this as well.
{{quote| '''Cortex, after removing his [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]:''' "Surprised to see me, Crash? Like the fleas in your fur, I keep coming back! Three ''years'' I spent ''alone'' in the ''frozen antarctic wastes!'' ...[[Sarcasm Mode|And I missed you!]]"}}
* [[Interdimensional Travel Device]]: The Psychetron, Cortex's gigantic interdimensional portal generating machine. Also the technology the Evil Twins use to warp reality, letting them pass through dimensions.
* [[Jungle Japes]]: The first few levels are this, when they're not [[Palmtree Panic]], to invoke the feel of the original Crash Bandicoot.
* [[Load -Bearing Boss]]: After Mecha Bandicoot's defeat, the floor drops out from under it, taking Crash and Cortex with it into an [[Underground Level]].
* [[Large Ham]]: Cortex has always been somewhat hammy, but in this game, he really goes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|whole hog.]]
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: While the Crash games have never been particularly dark, Twinsanity places a greater emphasis on humour which would continue throughout the Radical games.
Line 114:
'''Moritz, dismissively''' "Bo-riiing!"<br />
'''Cortex, speaking too fast to be intelligible''' "Ishallcrushyoulikethepunyruntsyouare, youarenothingtomeforIamthegreatandallpowerfulNeoCortex! Howdareyoumock, manhandleandmanipulateme! Restassured, Iwilltakemyterriblevengeanceupon..." ''[He stops, panting heavily.]'' }}
* [[Name TronNameTron]]: The device used to take Crash and Cortex to the tenth dimension is called... The Psychetron. [[Rule of Cool|For some reason.]]
{{quote| '''Cortex:''' "''This''... is the Psychetron. Gateway to the infinite dimensions, beyond our universe!"}}
* [[No Sidepaths No Exploration No Freedom]]: Handily averted by greatly opening up the stages and adding secret areas.
Line 121:
* [[Notice This]]: In the first half of Classroom Chaos, there are sections where you need to get to a hall monitor without being spotted. The game helps you by putting massive sparkles on the objects you need to hide behind.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Used during the Tikimon boss' theme. While not really Latin, it's certainly ominous.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: N.Brio, as usual, only this time he turns into some sort of giant frog.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: First appearance of Lex Lang as Dr. Neo Cortex.
* [[Palmtree Panic]]: The first world of the game, N. Sanity Isle, is this when it isn't [[Jungle Japes]].
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: Cortex dresses up as Coco to lure Crash through the jungle. Crash doesn't really seem to notice that his sister suddenly has a man's voice, a completely different body shape, a giant triangular head, and a beard.
* [[Plot Coupon]]: The Power Crystals serve as these, as mentioned below. There's only twelve in the entire game, and it's impossible ''not'' to get them.
* [[Power Crystal]]: The [[Plot Coupon|Plot Coupons]] of the game, as mentioned above. [[Department of Redundancy Department|There's only twelve in the entire game, and it's impossible]] ''[[Department of Redundancy Department|not]]'' [[Department of Redundancy Department|to get them.]]
Line 146:
{{quote| '''Cortex, stuck in a pipe:''' "I'm stuck! The ''greatest evil scientist in the world!'' ...Stuck in a pipe. [[Tempting Fate|How could things get any worse?]]" ''[He farts, letting out a whine soon after.]''}}
* [[Uberwald]]: The Academy of Evil is designed like this.
* [[DaddysDaddy's Little Villain|Uncle's Little Villain]]: Cortex's [[Blatant Lies|adorable niece]], Nina. Though we're not informed of anyone else in the Cortex family, leaving the 'niece' thing a little ambiguous.
{{quote| '''Cortex:''' "My daught-err... Niece!"}}
* [[Underground Level]]: Cavern Catastrophe, which takes place deep underground N. Sanity Isle. It serves mostly as a tutorial level for the Crash-Cortex team gameplay, when you're not controlling the both of them in a [[Big Ball of Violence]].
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: During the final boss, Crash runs away, leaving Nina and Cortex to fight it themselves. {{spoiler|He comes back in the final stage of the boss, driving the Mecha Bandicoot, which he uses to defeat the Evil Twins' [[Humongous Mecha]].}}
* [[VideogameVideo Game Caring Potential]]: Utilized as an entire part of the game, ''Doc Amok'', in which Cortex runs full tilt into hazards and pits, unless Crash does something to get rid of them.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: While dragging him around, Crash can toss Cortex into hazards and enemies, with little regard for the doctor's safety. He keeps coming back, though.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Crash, who's even more voiceless than usual, and Nina, save for a few grunts. Also Dr. Nitrus Brio.
