Trivia

 * According to Naughty Dog, Tawna's design was based off celebrity Pamela Anderson, for her blonde hair and breast size.
 * Tawna is shorter in Crash Boom Bang, possibly half the size she was in Crash Bandicoot.
 * After Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog removed her from the Crash series. The reason for this was said to be because she was found to be inappropriate for young children, since it was a family game. The real reason, however, was because Naughty Dog were not happy with her forced redesign, as she did not closely resemble her original intentions.
 * Tawna, along with Koala Kong, Dr. Nitrus Brio, Komodo Moe and Baby T are the only known characters of the Crash universe before Crash Bash that were not playable characters in Crash Team Racing.
 * A picture of Tawna is seen in Twinsanity in the Slip Slide Icecapedes level. She is seen when Crash and Cortex enter the house with the penguins. It is a picture of her in a magician outfit.
 * In Japan, a comic created in the instruction manual for Cortex Strikes Back shows that Tawna left Crash for Pinstripe Potoroo not long after the events of the first game. This is usually also largely accepted as being the case in Western countries.
 * In the Intro and Ending of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex, Tawna is seen in a picture in Crash's house, just like in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
 * Since Crash Boom Bang! is a spin-off and does not count in the main series, Pinstripe and Tawna may still have a relationship.
 * In Crash: Mind Over Mutant there is a poster of Tawna next to the door.
