Fake Crash is a mysterious bandicoot who is known to appear in very random places. As the name implies, he looks like an imitation of Crash Bandicoot, though there are some key differences (such as the huge eyebrows and teeth). He has a rather goofy voice.
Fake Crash, originally created by Naughty Dog, was inspired by a cheap Crash toy originated in Japan, with huge eyebrows and teeth. The team started calling it "Trash Bandicoot," and later, "Fake Crash."
They decided to include him as a goofy extra in Warped and CTR. He can be unlocked in CTR by winning the purple Gem Cup in adventure mode, or by holding down L1 and R1 and pressing circle, down, down, up, circle, circle, down, left, and right, in that order, at the main menu.
Soon he became more than a random Easter egg when he played a major role in N-Tranced.
Fake Crash is one of the series's most popular characters in Japan, and he is even a playable character in the Japanese version of Crash Bash, by holding down R1, R2, left, and down at the same time. However, this cheat doesn't work for adventure mode.
Fake Crash also appears in Crash Nitro Kart. In the console version, he is unlocked by getting 50 or more boosts on adventure mode as Team Cortex, and off-road on the track Out of Time in the GameBoy Advance version.

[edit] Sightings in Warped
Fake Crash can easily be spotted in:
- Level 1, Toad Village, in front of the house next to the puddle, on the right side of the stage.
- Level 5, Makin' Waves, after having passed the pirate ship and some of the ramps, on an island placed on the right side of the stage.
- Level 8, Hog Ride, seen dancing on the left side of the road.
However, you must first get at least 100% on your save file.
[edit] Trivia
- Of all the characters in CTR, Fake Crash has no home track of his own. He shares this trait with N. Tropy and Penta Penguin. However, some fans have given him the track Sewer Speedway, despite it not being related to him.
- Fake Crash is the only character that has been evil, good, and neutral. He is evil in CTR (as evidenced by Uka Uka being his invincibility mask) and in Crash Bandicoot: N-Tranced before being defeated. He is good in Crash Nitro Kart and in N-Tranced after being defeated. He is neutral in Crash Bash and Crash Boom Bang!, as there is no proof for what side he's supposed to be on in Bash, and because no playable character is meant to be good or evil in Boom Bang.
- Despite being an established character, he was given entirely different origins in Crash Bandicoot: N-Tranced.
