Story
This is the first game where you play as Cortex and Crash together. It begins with Cortex stunning Coco and disguising himself as her.Then he lures Crash into the an arena. Here, Crash defeats Cortex and N. Gin riding in Mecha Bandicoot. He and Cortex then go into a rollerbrawl through the minds and encounter the aliens called Ants for the first time. After they exit the mines, the Evil Twins, Victor and Moritz, mutant parrots from the 10th Dimension tell them they are going to destroy N. Sanity Island. Cortex then gets attacked by bees and is saved by Crash, only to be kidnapped by Papu Papu's tribesmen so that Crash has to save him again! After the escape, they encounter the Evil Twins again, and they bring to life a statue called Tikimon which the duo manage to defeat. They then go to Cortex's iceberg lab, where they meet Uka Uka. He is very angry at them and creates a huge block of ice to destroy them. After his block of ice is melted, Aku Aku convinces Uka Uka that the Evil Twins must be stopped.

At about this time, Dingodile tells N. Gin, Nefarious Tropy, and Nitrus Brio about the Evil Twins' treasure room (having learned by overhearing a complaining Cortex), and the four decide to stop Crash and Cortex. The latter three attack Crash on N. Gin's battleship and fail. Crash obtains a Power Crystal, but Coco thinks he has gone evil and breaks it. Crash and Cortex then go to Madame Amberly's Academy of Evil to get Cortex's niece Nina and hopefully save the Power Crystal. Dingodile himself attempts to confront Crash, but it doesn't work. However, Madame Amberly insults Cortex and is attacked. Eventually she falls into a tank of acid under the classroom. Nina gets away and follows Crash and Cortex to the 10th Dimension, along with the Mechabandicoot robot mentioned earlier. They don't know this, but N. Gin, N. Tropy, and N. Brio have followed them there, along with Aku Aku and Uka Uka. Nina, Cortex, and Crash power up Mechabandicoot. Evil Crash kidnaps Nina but is captured by Cortex. Meanwhile, the group lead by N. Tropy fails to steal the Evil Twins' treasure since Spyro intervenes. Nina, Cortex, and Mechabandicoot finally destroy a robot built by the Evil Twins. Cortex decides to use this time to stop Crash Bandicoot with the Evolvo-Ray which he brought along. Another malfunction causes Cortex to be abducted and shrinks which causes him to fall into Crash's ear and onto his brain where he finds Crash clones dancing to music, and Crash, Nina, and the Aku-Uka brothers return home safely. Meanwhile, Evil Crash mistakes the Evil Twins for roast chicken and eats them.
