Talk:Wumpa Islands

Fan Photo's
I think we should remove and keep images made or submited here because this wiki is based on facts from Crash Bandicoot games. So...im gonna go ahead and delete the fan drawn image of the Wumpa Islands drawn by VooDooBunny.Bandichild 03:31, May 2, 2011 (UTC)Bandichild

I see no reason for that. Radical held the contest because the winner would get their art work accepted into canon. Maybe for the template we should include a real game image, but I see no reason to remove the image entirly. :D - Komodo 55  13:19, May 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * It depends on what kind of image is being used in an article. If its official concept art or sketches by the actual developers, they can be used in the regular articles. If it is fan arts in this case though, they have no business to be used in these articles. Either they are used on the user pages or deleted if they have no use. -- The Magnum Master 03:03, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Academy of Evil
Where is it stated that the Academy of Evil is part of the Wumpa Islands/Archipelago? Pauolo (talk) 13:57, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Every name of every island
Well there seems to be some ambiguity as to what these islands are actually called. Here is a list of every name I could find referring to these islands, written by somebody working at or with Naughty Dog:

 ISLAND 1  D. Siller document with three dates on it: "South Padre Island" Yet another D. Siller doc, undated: "N. Sand T Isle" Feb 95 Bible: "Island One" May 95 Bible (Crash Bandicoot Files): "Gilligan's Island" (by J. Rubin & D. Siller) May 95 Bible: "Island 1" (Level list p. 221) Aug 95 Bible: "South Sanity Island (Working Title)" Crash 1 manual (p. 17): "Island 1", "the first island"

 ISLAND 2  Weird-date D. Siller doc: "South Sanity Island" Yet another D. Siller doc, undated: "Pyro Island" Feb 95 Bible: "Island Two" May 95 Bible: "South Sanity Island" (J. Rubin & D. Siller) May 95 Bible: "Island 2" (Level list p. 221) Aug 95 Bible: "Mid Sanity Island (Working Title)" "Making of Crash Art" Naughty Dog Website: "N. Sanity Island"

 ISLAND 3  Weird-date D. Siller doc: "South Sanity Island" Yet another D. Siller doc, undated: "Willikaki Island" Feb 95 Bible: "Island Three" May 95 Bible: "N. Sanity Island" (J. Rubin & D. Siller) May 95 Bible: "Island 3" (Level list p. 221) Aug 95 Bible: "North Sanity Island (Working Title)" Crash 1 manual "[Cortex's] main island" "Making of Crash Art" Naughty Dog Website: "Cortex Island"

 OTHER NAMES  David Siller concepts dated 1994: "North Sanity Island, Pyro Island, South Sanity Island". None of the defining features seen in Crash 1 are on any of them, so they're listed from smallest to biggest. Other Siller documents, undated but in a folder with a bunch of stuff dated 1995: "Island 1, 2, 3" Feb 95 bible: "three island archipelago", "Lemurian island chain" Feb 95 bible (suggested): "Maaka Low, Maaka High, Maaka ???" / "Bala Bala Islands" / "Niko Niko Islands" / "Neo Sapian, Neo Lithic, Neo Phyte" May 95 bible: "Lemurian Islands" Aug 95 bible: "Three Islands" Early plot of CTR, Sony PlayStation Autumn Winter Collection 99 - Press CD 3: "the Three Islands where Crash Bandicoot lives". (I don't know if the info on this CD was text or transcribed/spoken, so IDK if those capitalizations indicate a proper noun name or not)

Can't find any info specifically tying the name "Wumpa Island" to the middle island. No record of the collective name of the archipelago "Wumpa Islands" or "Wumpa Archipelago" seems to exist until Skylanders. I would imagine that this page name can stay the same, but Wumpa Islands should get a generic name like "Middle island"? Obviously if anyone finds more clarifying info, feel free to add it.
