GameplayEdit

Gameplay in the early Crash Bandicoot games was similar to any 16-bit platformer. The player controlled Crash and jumped over holes, spun Crates and collected Wumpa Fruit. Collecting 100 Wumpa Fruit earned the player an extra life. In certain levels of certain games, the player would get chased by a boulder or have to ride a tiger or a polar bear. The player also took control of Coco, Cortex and Nina in certain games. In the later games the player controls Crash going through levels collecting Mojo, defeating enemies and jacking Titans.
