Wumpa Islands

There are quite a few little islands southwest of Australia.



N.Sanity Island
N. Sanity Island is the first and most recurring of the three islands, being the home of Crash Bandicoot (character) and his companions (until Crash Of The Titans). Much of the island is occupied by a large mountain located in the center. On the side of the mountain is a skull-shaped opening that expels a waterfall from its mouth. The resulting river passes through N. Sanity Beach, where Crash Bandicoot's adventure began. Before the overthrow of Cortex, the island was largely inhabited by the native tribesmen (led by Papu Papu), who would capture and/or eat anything that snuck into their territory.

Their village is guarded by a tall wooden wall that completely surrounds the village. Also surrounding the village are numerous monoliths, which the tribesfolk seem to worship. After Cortex's defeat, the island became the official home of Crash Bandicoot (until Crash of the Titans), who lives in a medium-sized hut alongside Coco, Aku Aku (the protector of the islands), and others. Their hut appears to be located between N. Sanity Beach and the jungle, as shown in Crash Twinsanity. Also on the island is N.Gin's weapons factory.

The name of N. Sanity Island is a pun on the term 'insanity'.

Current State: Normal.

Features:
 * Crash's Hut
 * N.Sanity Beach

Wumpa Island
This island is located between N. Sanity Island, and Cortex Island, and is the least-occurring island in the series. Not much is known about this island, except that is littered with dated ruins and contains a lava cave below it, where a mine was located in Crash Bandicoot; it is unknown whether this mine still operates today. Also notable is the colossal tree located in the middle, in which Nina Cortex has a small tree-hut, and the tall waterfall that stems from a large tiki head (where Ripper Roo was fought in Crash Bandicoot) at the top of the ruins. It is also where Uka Uka was originally incarcerated many years before, until Doctor Cortex's shattered space station destroyed the prison, letting Uka Uka free. Also here is a large Mojo Temple and of course, Crash's new home.

The climate in Wumpa Island is colder than that of the other two islands. While the other islands would only be partially covered in snow during the winter season, Wumpa Island is completely submerged in white.

Current State: You can see the Doominator that has collapsed on the edge of the island and the remains of Tiny Tiger's giant island destruction machine.

Features:
 * Huge Tree

Cortex Island
The third and final island in the Wumpa Islands is the largest, but is also the least environmentally-healthy, having been overrun with pollution since its takeover by Doctor Neo Cortex (hence its name). Cortex Island was the former home of Doctor Neo Cortex, who resided in a large twisted castle known as Cortex Castle. The island also held a refinery named 'Cortex Power', where many of Cortex's mechanical contraptions were developed. Unfortunately, this very refinery was also the producer of a large amount of toxic waste, which was dumped into the nearby ocean, causing pollution. During its operation, the refinery was owned by Cortex's bodyguard, Pinstripe Potoroo, whom Crash battled as the fourth boss of Crash Bandicoot. When Pinstripe was defeated, he unintentionally shot out the refinery's core, causing Cortex Power to fall into disrepair. After the fall of Cortex, the refinery was later converted to a sewer system.

Current State: You can see the remains of Cortex Power.

Features:
 * Cortex Castle

The Iceberg
Just north of N.Sanity Island is a huge iceberg, which holds up Dr Cortex's Iceberg lab. Pretty much all of the iceberg is barren because of the snow. Another huge section of the iceberg is home to the Ice Prison, and this is just north of Wumpa Island.

Current State: You can see the remains of N.Gin's blown-up battleship and Cortex's trademark airship and the Ice Prison is still operational.

Features:
 * Iceberg Lab
 * N.Gin's Battleship
 * Ice Prison

Madame Amberly's Academy of Evil
Home of the wicked and evil, this building sits on its own small island just north east of the Iceberg.

Current State: Normal

Features:
 * Madame Amberly's Academy of Evil
