N. Trance

N. Trance is a pink egg-shaped outer dimensional being from the 5th dimension. He is the self-proclaimed "Master of Hypnotism," and has the ability to hypnotize people with his claw hand. He is also capable of generating energy beams from his eyes to attack and confuse his enemies. He has often brainwashed Crash's friends and enemies to aid a greater evil. His name is based on the verb "entrance," meaning "to put into a trance."

Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced
N. Trance was first seen in Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced when N. Tropy got him to help Uka Uka by brainwashing the bandicoots. Crash later made it to N. Tropy's secret base and defeated N. Trance with the help of Fake Crash. His boss fight is the fourth boss fight in the game and requires all 21 crystals to enter.

Crash Nitro Kart
He was later seen in Crash Nitro Kart, racing for Emperor Velo XXVII. He runs his own team, composed of him and his brainwashed cohorts: Dingodile, Polar, and Pura. All of the brainwashed members of his team wear his helmets. He also appears to have two normal hands instead of one hand wielding his hypnosis ability.

Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage
N. Trance makes an appearance as a playable character in the game's multiplayer mode. He also makes a cameo in the game as a card.

Crash Twinsanity
N. Trance was originally going to appear in Crash Twinsanity with a slight cosmetic change. In the game, his brain was going to be eaten by Evil Crash resulting in him wearing a plaster over his right eye. Because the scene would've been too graphic, the idea was cut.

Appearances

 * Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced
 * Crash Nitro Kart
 * Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage (playable in multiplayer mode)

Personality
N. Trance is a psychotic hypnotist. In spite of this, he is quite smart and also quite skilled. Judging by some of his quotes in Crash Nitro Kart, he can be stubborn and, at times, hot-headed. N. Trance often enjoys making puns referring to eggs as evidenced in Crash Nitro Kart.

He can be sometimes treacherous and is not above betraying even his allies to seek revenge, which is evident when he worked for Uka Uka and N. Tropy in Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced and then worked against them in Crash Nitro Kart.

In Crash Nitro Kart, he is seen showing traits of cowardice. Examples of this are present when he puts his hands up in the air and wearing a shocked expression during a particularly high jump.

Trivia

 * In N-Tranced, the boss fight against him shows him to be much larger than Crash and N. Tropy, but in the concept art of him in Twinsanity, he is very short. Also he is shown to be a similar size to Crash and Cortex when he is seen inside his kart.
 * This was very likely done on purpose since most racers of the Intermediate class in CNK are shown to be roughly the same size when they are seen inside their karts.
 * In Crash Nitro Kart, N. Trance is the third tallest playable character, after Tiny and Dingodile. However N. Trance is still bigger than Dingodile, if counting the amount of space they take up. Also whenever Dingodile is seen out of his kart, he is shown to be shorter than N. Trance, partly due to his podium model being undersized.
 * N. Tropy appears to be taller than N. Trance in the games N. Trance appears in, but this only because of the hat N. Tropy wears on his head.
 * N. Trance gained a nose in CNK, something he didn't have in N-Tranced.
 * He and his team, like N. Oxide's team, is protected by an Emperor Velo mask in CNK.
 * Compared to his other victims, Dingodile underwent the most severe mental and physical changes after being brainwashed by N. Trance.
 * N. Trance was originally going to wear a dark armored suit with a jet pack and equipped with laser cannons during the battle against Crash in N-Tranced. This was scrapped for unknown reasons.
 * In CNK, he will raise his hands up into the air when he's jumping to a high place.
 * His original design had a pipe coming out of his robotic body and into the back of his head. It is unknown what this pipe does.​
 * This pipe is not present in his CNK design.
 * His limbs are implied to be detachable as his claw arm is switched out for a regular one in CNK.
 * His arms are green in the GBA version of CNK.
 * If N. Trance had appeared in Twinsanity, it would have conflicted with the story timeline, considering that Twinsanity chronologically happened before N-Tranced.
 * He has sometimes been referred to by players as Doctor N. Trance, though this has never officially been confirmed. This would have been confirmed had Cortex Chaos been made.
