Trivia

 * N. Trance was originally going to appear in Crash Twinsanity with a new twist to his appearance. In the game, his brain was going to be eaten by Evil Crash. This idea was cut for being too dark. Soon after, the idea to put him in the game was also scrapped because of the amount of characters in the game, it would take longer to load.
 * In N-Tranced, the boss fight against him showed him to be much larger than Crash and N. Tropy, but in the concept art of him in Twinsanity, he is very short.
 * He and his team, like N Oxide's team, were protected by an Emperor Velo mask in Crash Nitro Kart.
 * His name is most likely based on the verb "entrance", meaning "to put into a trance," as his signature ability is hypnosis.
 * Compared to compared to his other victims, Dingodile underwent the most severe mental and physical changes after being brainwashed by N. Trance. This may be because he possibly required much more brainwashing than the others, being the only minion of Cortex to fall under N. Trance's mind control.
