Gameplay

In this mini-game, Crash is holding his Fruit Bazooka. The player must fire at moving pictures of Neo Cortex, N. Gin, Tiny Tiger, Dingodile, and Uka Uka. However, if the player shoots Aku Aku, Polar, or Coco, they will lose points. Ammo is obtained by shooting crates. If the player runs out of ammo, they get a game over.

Trivia

• Most of the characters appear in their Naughty Dog designs, with Aku Aku, Coco, and Uka Uka appearing in their Warped designs, N. Gin and Polar appearing in their Cortex Strikes Back and Warped designs, and Crash and Cortex appearing in their Crash Bandicoot designs. Tiny and Dingodile are the only two characters whose designs are not strictly based on any of their Naughty Dog ones, instead appearing in their Huge Adventure designs.
• The PAL version of Crash Bandicoot Blast advertises Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure in it's NTSC-U title and not by the game's PAL region title Crash Bandicoot: XS.
