Episode 1: A New Hop is the first level in Crash of the Titans consisting of the forest part of Wumpa Island.

Plot
Everything is alright at Wumpa Island, Aku-Aku is sleeping, Crunch is doing some push-ups and Coco is constructing something and Crash is chewing on a purple wrench.

Coco: Crash! Help me get this Gizmo working! At last the world will have a way to recycle butter!

(Crash burps. Laughter is heard in the background.)

Coco: Hey! That was a good one!

(Crash chuckles)

Coco: OK, hand me the transpalooper.

(Crash gets a puzzled look on his face.)

Coco: Hehe...the purple thingy!

(Crash looks at the wrench, then gets up to hand it to Coco, but before he does, he gets a frightened look and points off-screen.)

Crash: What is That!?

(a large grey zepplen with a large red N on the sides appears over the bandicoots' house. a megaphone attached to a rope appears.)

Dr. Neo Cortex: Is....Is this thing on? Yeah? Haha! I'm BACK babies! Surrender to Cortex!

(during cortex's last sentence, Crash puts the transpalooper in his pocket.)

Crunch: Make us sucka!

Cortex: Ingenious.....I can't actually hear you....I'm really far away in like, a hovercraft or something....

(Aku-Aku awakens and floats in front of the bandicoots.)

Aku-Aku: I will deal with him. I have been fighting evil for MANY centuries-

(Crunch cuts Aku-Aku off.)

Crunch: WHAT!? You don't even got a body!

(Aku-Aku looks at Crunch angrily. Cages appear over Aku-Aku and Coco.)

Aku-Aku: Help!

Coco: Crash! Help!

(Coco abd Aku-Aku start to be lifted inside the zepplen. Crash becomes upset. then a ray gun comes out and shoots an Ice Ray at the remaining bandicoots. Crash dodges it, but Crunch becomes frozen from the chest down.)

Cortex: Ta-Ta! I'm off to do bad things!

(Before Coco and Aku-Aku are pulled completely into the zepplen, Crash picks up Coco's gizmo and throws it at their cages. Aku-Aku's cage falls down, but Coco's cage is pulled into the zepplen.)

Crunch: I'm just going to stay here a while.....

(Crash progresses through the area until he gets to a cave near Coco's house. Halfway through the cave, Crash encounters two Ratnicians talking to each other, but their voices can be heard as you enter the cave.)

Ratnician 1: Do you see anything?

Ratnician 2: What are we looking for again? Help me out here!

Ratnician 1: The Bandicoot you ironic simpleton!!! The things the Boss has always wanted to kill!

Ratnician 2: How is that thing still alive if he's just a sweet little Bandicoot?

Ratnician 1: Well allow me to eductate you my uneducated chum....Bandicoots! They're medium-sized, omnivorus marsupial people of the family Peremelemorphia.

Ratnician 2: Well obviously yes, EVERYBODY knows that!

Ratnician 1: Fine but what most people DON'T know is that Peremelemorphia creatures are immune to Mojo Control!

Ratnician 2: But THAT means that never will know to obey the Master!

Ratnician 1: Yes you are right my colleague, but stay sharp! We have Bandicoots to subdue!

(when Crash walks near where they are standing they will attack him, but they can easily be defeated. If you stay still, though, they will keep talking. Crash defeats them and continues until he comes to a valley where multiple Ratnicians are talking.)

Ratnician 1: Do you see any Bandicoot?

Ratnician 2: No I don't see any Bandicoots! Be quiet you silly person!

Ratnician 3: Why is the boss kidnapping mutants? Does he like us like when he first created us? It was so romantic and lovely!

Ratnician 4: What did he create again?

(Crash defeats the Ratnicians and continues until he finds an area with multiple large mushrooms and multiple Ratnicians. Crash defeats them and must jump on the mushrooms to advance. Crash then comes to the area where the first Mojo Room is found. He either goes to it or advances through the level. He then fights more Ratnicians. Then he finds the games first Spybot. Then he fights more Ratnicians. He thens comes to an area with a large mushroom you must jump on to get to a high ledge and another Spybot. When he gets up on the ledge, he must climb up another ledge and use a mushroom to jump up another. Then he sees three Ratnicians struggling to move Aku-Aku's cage. Crash defeats them and opens the cage, freeing Aku-Aku.)

Aku-Aku: Thanks Crash. My powers were usless on them.

Crash: (unknown language)

Aku-Aku: Dark magic indeed. Trouble is afoot!

Crash: Huh?

Aku-Aku: Yes I know I don't have feet! Let's just find out what's going on!

(a roar is heard on the ledge above. Crash and Aku-Aku look up and see the game's first Titan watching them. The titan then runs away. Crash is then seen hiding behind Aku-Aku, who has a puzzled look on his face. Crash then puts Aku-Aku in his pocket and gains the ability to block. Crash then fights more Ratnicians. Then he continues and scales some more ledges. Upon getting on top of the last ledge, Crash sees three Ratnicians hiding from the titan from before, which is a Spike. The spike then sniffs the air and turns around to where the Ratnicians are hiding. It then uses it's special attack (Spike's Surprise) and kills the Ratnicians. Then the Spike starts attacking Crash. Crash defeats it and jacks it. Then Crash and the Spike must defeat more Ratnicians and, eventually, more Spikes, which can be jacked when wanted to, along with find the third Spybot. After beating a few more Spikes and Ratnicians, Crash comes to a tree with a very weak trunk. After beating the Spikes and multiple Ratnicians, use Spike to destroy the tree trunk. (If your Spike is dead, you must restart the level.) You then beat the level after using the tree trunk, which, after being destroyed and falling over makes a great bridge) to cross a gap.)
