Story
INTRODUCTION
Wicked Twins have invaded the island home of Crash Bandicoot, revealing their plans to destroy Dr. Cortex, enslave Crash and his friends, and devastate their world.
To face this great evil, Crash must team up with his creator and archenemy, Dr. Cortex. Also along for the adventure are Dr. Cortex's young niece Nina Cortex, and Crash's sister Coco.
Who are the Twins? They threaten revenge against Dr. Cortex, but why? And where are they from?
Using Dr. Cortex's Psychetron machine, the Crash Team must travel between dimensions in order to solve the mystery of the Twins' identity, before finally confronting the evil duo in person.

Enemies & Characters
DR. NEO CORTEX
Dr. Neo Cortex is an evil scientist and the creator of Crash Bandicoot, who is also his sworn enemy. He is forced to work with Crash against the Evil Twins, despite their past conflicts.
NINA CORTEX
Nina is Dr. Cortex's niece, modified by him to be less kind-hearted and sent to the Academy of Evil. She now has spring-loaded, steel-trap hands and is helping her uncle against the Evil Twins.
CRASH & CORTEX
When bound together by circumstance, the player controls Crash and Cortex as a single entity, with Crash in control and Cortex as his reluctant partner. If Cortex holds a crystal, Crash can attach to him, turning Cortex into a lethal weapon as they fight over it.
HumiliSkate
Cortex takes a dive and Crash jumps onto his back, transforming him into a makeshift sled.
Doc Amok
A terrified Dr. Cortex runs blindly through the scene with his vision obscured, and Crash must clear the way of TNT crates and enemy creatures before Cortex runs afoul of them.
RollerBrawl
When Crash and Cortex don't see eye to eye, players must manage the mayhem as they duke it out in a rollerbrawl, controlling them as they careen downhill, bound together as a ball of flying fists and feet.
