Rilla Roo

Rilla Roo is a character that was introduced in Crash Bash. He is a hybrid between a gorilla and a kangaroo.

Crash Bash
Rilla Roo is one of the playable characters in the game. He helps Uka Uka's team against Aku Aku's team. He is the same type of player as Dingodile. In pogo stick levels, he uses a power drill as a pogo stick but has weak throwing power in Crate Crush levels. In the out-tro credits of the Japanese version of Crash Bash, it reveals that after the events of the game Rilla Roo wished to become Koala Kong's agent so he opened up a restaurant in Hollywood with Dingodile.

After initially being teased in a cameo on a banner in Koala Carnival, Rilla Roo was added to the game post-release as part of the Winter Festival Grand Prix. He can be purchased from the Pit Stop for 1500 Wumpa Coins. This marked the first time Rilla Roo has appeared in a Crash game since Crash Bash and his second appearance in the Crash series overall.

An updated redesign for Rilla Roo titled "Fixed Rilla Roo" was given for free to anyone who had unlocked Rilla Roo prior to the first post-Grand Prix update. Otherwise, Fixed Rilla Roo is available for purchase from the Pit Stop for 1500 Wumpa Coins. This was done in response to the mixed reception of Rilla Roo's initial redesign in the game, as many felt it wasn't a faithful redesign from his original Crash Bash design.

Personality
According to the Crash Bash Manual, Rilla Roo has the disposition of a train wreck and prefers to take his time around the arena, suggesting that he is rather patient. Despite this, the same manual also states that he is a first stringer and that he considers himself a closer.

Rilla Roo can often be seen jumping around, hooting wildly and laughing as he taunts his foes. Along with his circus-like attire and tendency to linger around in a battle, he appears to have a clownish, prankster personality. Making fools out of his opponents seems to be equally important to serving his master Uka Uka. His eagerness to go into business with Dingodile and Koala Kong in the Japanese epilogue to Crash Bash also suggests that he is surprisingly entrepreneurial and possibly a bit of a spendthrift.
