Crash Bandicoot (series)

The Crash Bandicoot series is a long-running video game series created by gaming company Naughty Dog. The Crash Bandicoot series has been running for thirteen years, and in its lifespan has released more than fifteen video games. The series started out in 1996 with the video game Crash Bandicoot and has since then took off into its own huge franchise. Originally created by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, Crash Bandicoot is the main protagonist throughout most of the series; the main antagonist of the series is Doctor Neo Cortex, a mad scientist bent on global domination. The Crash Bandicoot series has contained three different genres of games: platformers, racing games and party games. The most popular games in the series consist of what is known as the "main" series, which consists of 3D platformers. The Crash Bandicoot series has been released on a large array of systems, including home consoles and handheld game systems. Originally starting out with a 32-bit game, the Crash Bandicoot series has gone through many graphical changes throughout the years. Chain of the Revolution has a part of the game where you have to go through the levels of the original game.

There have been much confusion with the timeline of Crash Bandicoot. A YouTube user named Crashpro3 is currently making a Crash Bandicoot timeline, and it's bringing plenty of sense to continuity.

Crash Bandicoot (1996) - the origin of Crash Bandicoot

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (1997) - taking place immediately after the previous game.

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (1998) - same as Crash 2.

Crash Team Racing (1999) - Nitrous Oxide, the main villain, makes numerous cameos in upcoming games.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (2001) - Crunch is introduced.

Crash Twinsanity (2004) - same as Crash 2

Crash Bandicoot XS / The Huge Adventure (2002) - There was nothing after Twinsanity, so this came up by default (Crash Bash was eliminated due to purposes explained later)

Crash Bandicoot N. Tranced (2003) - same as Crash 2

Crash of the Titans (2008) - in the end of "N. Tranced", Uka Uka plans to use a "new adversary", possibly being Mojo Power.

Crash: Mind Over Mutant (2009) - same as Crash 2

Crash Bash (2000) is the last game in the timeline, because it ends with either Uka Uka's eternal banishment or global takeover.
