Story
Doctor Neo Cortex (Crash Bandicoot's nemesis) has joined forces with Ripto (Spyro the Dragon's nemesis) and they have a plan to get rid of their enemies by sending Ripto's monsters into both of their worlds. Aku Aku and Coco tell Crash to gather all the Crystals before Cortex does. In Spyro's world, Hunter and the Professor tell Spyro to close the Portals. Unfortunately in Crash's world, the monsters are dressed up as Spyro and in Spyro's world they are dressed up as Crash starting a classic bridge Fight. Afterwords, they realize that they have been tricked by their enemies which starts a new Friendship. Not even Tiny, Crush and Gulp could stop them, but Cortex gets in with the the big guns and gets Nina to kidnap Coco and the Professor. Spyro frees them while Crash distracts Nina on Polar. Coco had an idea: if Crash and Spyro can put Tracers on Cortex and Ripto, they can be able to find their secret Base. Crash fights Ripto but forgets to put the tracer on him but Spyro does and they are able to find their Lair. After they have defeated Cortex and Ripto, they say their good-byes and return to their home World.
