What is the Game About?
In Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, the evil Dr. Neo Cortex is back! He tries to defeat Crash Bandicoot once and for all. Cortex creates a new super-weapon: a powerful bandicoot named Crunch. To make Crunch even stronger, Cortex uses five ancient, evil masks called the Elementals.
These Elementals control the forces of nature. They are Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. It's up to Crash and his sister Coco to stop Dr. Cortex and the Elementals. They must save the world from this new threat.
How Do You Play?
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex is a single-player game. You mostly play as Crash, but sometimes you can play as his clever sister, Coco.
Exploring Different Worlds
The game has many different levels. Each level is like a new adventure. You will travel through jungles, icy caves, and even outer space. Your main goal in each level is to reach the end.
Collecting and Breaking Things
As you play, you'll collect Wumpa fruit. These are like apples in the game. If you collect 100 Wumpa fruit, you get an extra life. You also need to break wooden boxes. Some boxes have Wumpa fruit, while others have special items. Breaking all the boxes in a level is a challenge.
Special Moves and Vehicles
Crash can do many cool moves. He can jump, double jump, and spin to defeat enemies. Sometimes, Crash gets help from Aku Aku. Aku Aku is a magical mask that protects Crash from harm. If you get three Aku Aku masks, Crash becomes invincible for a short time!
The game also features exciting vehicle levels. Crash might ride a motorcycle, a submarine, or even a spaceship. These levels add variety to the gameplay. For example, in some levels, Crash rolls around inside a giant ball called an "Atlasphere."
Characters You'll Meet

Development of the Game
The game was developed by Traveller's Tales. It was originally planned to be a different kind of game. Early ideas for the game included a more free-roaming style. This means players could explore a big open world instead of following a set path. However, the final game became a more traditional platformer.

Top: In this level, Crash rolls along while inside an "Atlasphere". A menu at the top of the screen shows the number of Wumpa fruit collected, the current number of boxes broken (out of the level's box total), and the number of lives. Bottom: Another level. To Crash's left is Aku Aku, a sentient mask who protects Crash from damage. To Crash's right is a "?" platform, which leads him to a Bonus Round. Various hazards lie in front of Crash. An enemy scorpion patrols in front of the bridge, while an enemy bird hovers above a row of explosive Nitro crates on the far side of the bridge.
