Cortex's Ray Gun

Cortex's ray gun or blaster is a recuring weapon in the Crash series that Cortex uses whenever he's on his hoverboard. In Crash Bandicoot, Cortex uses his gun in his battle with Crash at the end shooting pink, blue and green bubbles that apparently hurt Crash. Cortex again uses it with a similer attack on his battle at the end of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped this time only shooting red bubbles. In Crash Bash Cortex uses his trusty blaster as his "kick" move but can also use it to pick up crates and throw it a great distance in the Crate Crush minigames. His former colleague N. Brio also uses a blue ray gun. Since Crash Bash the ray gun isn't seen again until Crash Twinsanity and is seen the most in this game. We find out that the gun runs on ammo and it plays a crucial part in Cortex's levels as the doctor has no other form of defence if his ammo runs out leaving him scared and running around screaming until he gets more. It once again has a green blast which Cortex can hold in for a powerful shot. Sadly this is the last game the ray gun is in.

Trivia

 * In Crash Twinsanity it is revealed that the ray gun has different modes: Stun, Love, Fire and Death.
 * In Crash Bash Cortex's "kick" with his gun is surprisingly weak but his throwing range with it is excellent.
