25th Anniversary!

"Woohoo! It's Crash Bandicoot's 25th Anniversary! Let's celebrate and hope no one decides to gatecrash the party!"

- Season intro

 was the fifth season of Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!. It began on the 19th of August, 2021 and ended on the 20th of September 2021.

Theme
The season celebrated the 25th anniversary of Crash Bandicoot. Crash and Coco were having a month-long party for the event, but Pinstripe and a few other villains (including Sharkbite) came to crash it.

All of the skins for this season were inspired by characters or designs from past games (console and mobile) in the entire Crash Bandicoot series up to Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

The season ended with Crash and Coco thanking the players for their participation.

Season Event Area
Before the season started, a makeshift pontoon was anchored near the dock. On it was placed a podium covered by a red carpet, floating balloons and wrapped gifts. A table was set on the podium, with a trophy on top of it, resting on its side.

When the season started, a triple decker birthday cake was set on the table, with the trophy resting straight up atop.

Vending Machine Additions
Season 5 added 7 new skins as Daily Deals in the Vending Machine and 2 skins as Celebration Offers.

Survival Runs
This season featured the Turtle Woods and Dino Might! Survival Runs. Turtle Woods was updated mid-season with new underground paths.

Mission Board

 * Main article: Mission Board

Throughout the season, Pinstripe, Dingodile, Neo Cortex and Nina Cortex crashed the Mission Board to make the Bandicoots give them items in exchange for Trophies.

Seasonal Gangs
The anniversary party was taking place at night over Beach Jungle, Temple Ruins and the Lost City. Balloons were floating around, with pieces of confetti falling from the sky and fireworks being fired in the background. Talking holographic projectors of the Retro skins of Crash and Coco as well as monitor screens displaying renders of the Bandicoot and Cortex were placed on the sides of the path.

Trivia

 * This season's Event Area is reused from the Launch Party! with a few changes. The podium under the red carpet was also reused from the original concept art of the same building.
