Rilla Roo

Rilla Roo is a character that was introduced in Crash Bash. He is a cross 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.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
Rilla Roo makes a cameo on a banner in the Koala Carnival track. He is depicted wearing boxing gloves and is shown fighting in a match against Koala Kong. This marks his first appearance since his only appearance in Crash Bash.

Rilla Roo appears as a playable racer as part of the Winter Festival Grand Prix. He can be purchased from the Pit Stop for 1500 Wumpa Coins. He has undergone a redesign since Crash Bash.

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.
