Ripper Roo



Ripper Roo (also known as Doctor Roo) is a Kangaroo who had his first appearance in Crash Bandicoot. Since then, Ripper Roo has had appearances in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash Team Racing, Crash Twinsanity and Crash Bash.

History
In the original Crash Bandicoot, Ripper Roo was one of the many animal test subjects of Dr. Neo Cortex. After being captured, he was zapped at least twice by Cortex's Evolvo-Ray, which vaused him to go insane. He was sent out to destroy Crash, but unfortunately for him, he was blown up by his own TNTs. In his next appearance, he works for N Brio, and is known as "Doctor Roo". Despite the year he took to become a Psychologist, it's revealed that an explosion is enough to return him to his former, dangerous self, but once again fails to stop Crash. He appears as a boss once again in CTR, where he is constantly dropping TNTs onto the track. He is also an unlockable character in CTR. He appears in one of the Pogo Pandemonium stages in Crash Bash, where he creates TNT tiles by hopping around on his cane. Ripper Roo didn't return until Crash Twinsanity, where he made a brief cameo at Crash's "Birthday Party". After Cortex and Mecha Bandicoot are defeated, he nods in agreement with Dingodile's suggestion to go out for lunch. Ripper Roo's most recent appearance is as one of the 8 playable characters in Crash Nitro Kart for the iPod.
