Penguin



Penguins have appeared as enemies many times in the Crash Bandicoot series. They have appeared in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Crash Team Racing, Crash Bash, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure, Crash Twinsanity and Crash Tag Team Racing.

Crash Twinsanity
Their largest role might be on Crash Twinsanity. One part is that when Cortex was talking to one of them, saying that a check has expired, the penguins get angry. Cortex then asks if they want a fish, but they, using their voices, found out he drew his gun out and after one of them was shot, the rest of them angerly leave. They may have betrayed Cortex because of this (probably why they attack Crash and Cortex). They apear again chasing both Crash Bandicoot and Cortex on a snow ride shortly before Cortex's mother is heard. They didnt suceed in catching them so they exploded. To defeat the penguins, Cortex can shoot them with his ray gun, or Crash can spin them. There are a lot of them in the Ice Climb level. They have jet packs that they can use to slide after Crash and Cortex (in the humiliskate levels), charge at Crash, or fly in the air and try to dive-bomb Crash. These attacks are very easy to dodge.

Crash Bandicoot 2
They are minor enemies in the snow/ice levels (Snow Go, Snow Biz and Cold Hard Crash) in this game and perform a variety of actions. One lot walks around, stops and then spins until they're dizzy before resuming their walk. Another lot slide from a hill and into a chasm, while the final lot do nothing but spin. They can be defeated with any action except while they're spinning.
