Crash Bandicoot is the third title in Sony's popular series, featuring Coco as a playable character for the first time. The game utilizes the "tunnel" 3D mechanic from earlier titles in the series, giving players an immersive experience.
The main objective of the game is to collect 25 crystals scattered across different timelines before Dr. Neo Cortex and his ally Uka Uka can obtain them. With N. Tropy's help, they've created a Time Twister Machine that allows them to travel through time and gather the crystals. Players must assist Crash and Coco in using this machine to collect the crystals and gems.
Throughout the game, players will also need to find 42 gems scattered across different timelines. Collecting all of these gems will unlock the final confrontation with Cortex and Uka Uka. With its unique blend of exploration and platforming, Crash Bandicoot offers an exciting experience for players.
Crash Bandicoot 3 was released on the PlayStation on November 8th, 1996, for fans to enjoy.
