Summary of Video games WikiProject open tasks:

Im a bit annoyed because for no apparent reason somebody has deleted a lot of the characters from the list of crash bandicoot characters page. I also stated if the secondary and minor characters were good, bad or neutral. For some reason somebody has deleted that too, I hope when I put this back on, somebody will not delete the content again. This page is far more accurate than the box of crash characters as on the box it shows alot of the characters in the wrong category, such as willie wumpa cheeks being neutral when he is actually bad.

Add new charcter descriptions

It would also be good if somebody could add pictures and character descriptions to the characters that have not got an article.

Kanji names?

Why does this article list the Japanese versions of the characters' names? This is a western game series, out in tons of other languages. Why not list the German, Italian or Spanish versions of their names? That's right, it's pointless.

This is like a whole new level of japanophilia.

Most likely, people do this because the publisher is located in Japan. - A Link to the Past (talk) 15:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Character Pages

Can't we give some of these characters their own pages? I mean, some of them them have been in 4 or 5 games and they have 3 sentences of writing on them. If not, I seriously gotta add more information. Especially to N. Trance, his paragraph is somewhat embarrasing.

Nope. Only characters that have appeared in at least four games in the main series can be given their own pages. So far there is six games in the main series, and those are Crash Bandicoot, Cortex Strikes Back, Warped, The Wrath of Cortex, Twinsanity, and Titans. So don't even think of giving N. Trance, Ebeneezer Von Clutch, or any other useless minor characters their own pages, because they don't even appear in the main series. The only characters that should have their own articles right now are Crash, Coco, Aku Aku, Doctor Cortex, N. Gin, Tiny, Dingodile, and Uka Uka. Cat's Tuxedo 14:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know where that rule came from, but fine. But I am rewriting the character paragraphs, there's no excuse for 2 sentence paragraphs on characters. Kobb 00:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There, I rewrote most of the character paragraphs, which now look more proffessional.

Kobb 15:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just one question though, can I create a page for Nina? I know she hasn't been in 4 canon games, but she's definately a main character. In fact, she may be a lead villian in CotT. Not to mention there is quite a lot to write about her. Kobb 05:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, considering Crunch and N Brio both have an article, and they only appear in three of the games (one short of the guide), although both with major roles within that, I suppose Nina could be done. CBFan 08:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'd make it, but I don't know how to make Nina Cortex NOT redirect to this page. Kobb 00:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There wasnt six games. Dont forget to mention Crash bash,Crash team racing,Crash Xs,Crash N Trance,Crash Purple,Crash nitro cart,Crash boom bang and Crash tag team racing. N Tropy deffinatly should have his own page!!!! DeadWood 19:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice try, but there is only six main games in the series. What you mentioned were just stupid spinoff games that don't affect the overall plot of the series in any way. Tropy will have to wait until he appears in either Titans or a future major platformer. Cat's Tuxedo 19:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Spin offs Yes. But it still counts. Now lets not get into a argument here but i think that N tropy should be added. hes been in roughly the same amount as times as N Gin. DeadWood 10:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All right then. Let's see here...
  • Crash Bandicoot: 14 games (6 in the main series)
  • Aku Aku: 14 games (6 in the main series)
  • Doctor Neo Cortex: 13 games (6 in the main series)
  • Coco Bandicoot: 13 games (5 in the main series)
  • Doctor N. Gin: 11 games (5 in the main series)
  • Tiny Tiger: 11 games (5 in the main series)
  • Uka Uka: 10 games (4 in the main series)
  • Dingodile: 8 games (4 in the main series)
  • Crunch Bandicoot: 8 games (3 in the main series)
  • Polar: 8 games (3 in the main series)
  • Doctor Nefarious Tropy: 7 games (3 in the main series)
  • Fake Crash: 7 games (1 in the main series)
  • Ripper Roo: 5 games (3 in the main series)
  • Nitros Oxide: 5 games (2 in the main series)
  • Komodo Brothers: 5 games (2 in the main series)
  • Pura: 5 games (2 in the main series)
  • Doctor Nitrus Brio: 4 games (3 in the main series)
  • Nina Cortex: 4 games (2 in the main series)
  • Pinstripe Potoroo: 4 games (2 in the main series)
  • Papu Papu: 4 games (2 in the main series)
  • Tawna: 3 games (2 in the main series)
  • Koala Kong: 3 games (2 in the main series)
  • Penta Penguin: 3 games (2 in the main series)
  • Spyro the Dragon: 3 games (1 in the main series)
  • Tribesmen: 2 games (2 in the main series)
  • Evil Crash: 2 games (1 in the main series)
  • Evil Twins: 1 game (1 in the main series)
  • Elementals: 1 game (1 in the main series)
  • Madame Amberly: 1 game (1 in the main series)
  • Tikimon: 1 game (1 in the main series)
  • Ants: 1 game (1 in the main series)
  • Rusty Walrus: 1 game (1 in the main series)
  • Baby T-Rex: 1 game (1 in the main series)
  • Farmer Ernest: 1 game (1 in the main series)

On the contrary, Tropy appeared in four less games than N. Gin. So far, I think the Crunch Bandicoot, Nitrus Brio, Evil Twins, and Emperor Velo XXVII pages should be merged. Cat's Tuxedo 16:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crunch No. Brio No. Evil twins and Velo,Yes. Crunch and Brio are main characters in the series. Crunch is more of a main character but the brio page still should stay. Now do we come to an agreement? i still think we should add the Tropy page. DeadWood 08:33, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm still not sure about Brio. He might have contributed a little to the series' initial storyline, but he only appeared in four games out of all of the 14 in the entire series. But I suppose we could keep Crunch if he's really that important. And I guess there is a slim chance for Tropy, too. But we'll have to consult the other Wikipedians and see what they think. Cat's Tuxedo 14:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm well Brio should stay and so should crunch. But now i have thought about it we shouldnt do a tropy page. Do me and you come to an agreement? DeadWood 20:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All right. Cat's Tuxedo 21:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Brio does not have enough to work with to have his own article. In contrast to the other 9 characters to have articles, who have appeared in at least over half of the games (both within and not within the Main series), Brio has not. He has only appeared in four games (three of them within the Main series, as shown above) and has not had a speaking role since Game 2. As a result, he has very little material to work with. In contrast, Nina has a lot of material to work with (considering how late in the series she appeared), but she does not have an article. Tropy has appeared many more times than Brio has (and, unlike him, has had a speaking role in every game), but likewise, he doesn't get an article. Brio, therefore, should not, because it is otherwise being biased towards him and against characters like those two. In my opinion, a character warrants an article is he/she has appeared in half or more of the CB games (so 7 or more), half or more being of the main series (3 or more) and has enough material to work with. Crunch fulfills these criteria (just about), which is why he has an article. Brio does not.

P.S. Your tables not exactly correct Cat's Tuxedo. Penta has had three appearances, maybe, but only one of them was in a Main game (unless you'd like to correct me). CBFan 15:24, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's because I counted the penguins in Cortex Strikes Back, which look exactly like Penta. And I'd better get to merging that Brio page then if you don't mind. Cat's Tuxedo 16:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I personally consider them to be regular penguins (it's hard to put a name to just one of them if there are many of them). Penta's appearances, as I believe them to be, are Warped (his only MG appearance), Team Racing (no denying that) and Bash...purely because there is only one of him in each game. But never mind. CBFan 19:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still trying to add a Nina page.... 69.24.125.178 23:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crunch barely fits the criteria you guys claim these characters to have, and he has his own article, correct? Why does he barely fit in the category? He has little to work with, perhaps less than Brio. With Crash of the Titans only coming out, we have yet to find out whether or not he has more stuff to work with. Methinks we should wait on the Crunch article until one person has played the entire game and has studied Crunch's behavior and actions in said game. 65.30.24.3 16:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You sound to me like a Brio fanboy, and the only reason you think Brio should have an article is because you WANT him to have an article. That does NOT allow him the right to have one. If you ask me, Tropy and Nina have much more material to work with. If they don't have articles, why should Brio? Crunch may have appeared in the same amount of canon-games as Brio, but he's appeared in more games than him overall, and as a result of this, has a pretty extensive personality. Of the four games Brio appears in (Three canon), he only really 'shines' in two of them. I can't really see where you're coming from with your claim, as Brio always came across as 'monochromatic' in personality terms, but Crunch is far from it (at least three styles). CBFan 20:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Aside from The Huge Adventure, Crunch has practically been in EVERY single Crash game since The Wrath of Cortex, including three of the main ones. The barely part comes from him only having a significant role in his aforementioned debut, but that shouldn't change the fact that he is a significant character.
Still, yeah, I too am curious over what his role is in Titans. It won't be long until it comes out, so I'm sure the potential of a full-blown Crunch article could wait til then. Freqrexy 21:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to butt in to just say that although N. Tropy hasn't appeared in the last 4 canon Crash game, he has been in the last 3. Adding to that, he has had a much more prominent role in his first appearence than in Dingodile's. Speaking canon-wise, Dingodile shouldn't even really have a page. Technically he didn't appear in the main canon version of the "big 4" Crash games, AND he has little to no information on his appearence. Not to sound Tropy fanboyish, but it seems to me that Tropy and Dingodile are on equal footing when it comes to canonicity. Neither has been in the main console version of all of the last 4 Crash games, but both have had acceptable appearences in recent non-canon games. N. Tropy is pretty much the main antagonist for the non canon N.-Tranced game, and he speaks more lines in Twinsanity than Dingodile.

That's just my opinion though.

Ripper Roo's Laugh

Dudes, can I ask a Q? Why does it say Ripper Roo's laughter is a clip from Lady and The Tramp? It say's 'hyena's laughter' from L&T. Can someone fix that? There's no hyena in L&T. I think whoever wrote that might have meant 'Lion King.' Can somebody check that??? Thanks.Coco 05:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Next time, please make a new bulletin and don't merge with other comments.
Anyway, there IS a hyena in Lady and the Tramp, and it's at the zoo scene; they were there to find a way to remove Lady's muzzle, and the hyena's distinctive laughter comes in after a failed attempt with the teeth of an aligator. Freqrexy 09:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't Spyro be added.

I'm just wondering. I mean, he's made a cameo in Twinsanity as technically a main role when he attacked the three thieves.--Kingdom of crash and spyro 14:59, 6 September 2007 (UTC).[reply]

A cameo is just that - not a main role. Just because there are a few silly interchanges between Crash and Spyro doesn't mean they are main characters in each others' game series. I mean, do we really consider Ratchet as an Ape Escape character due to the monkey Ratchet appearance in the third game of the series? Do we consider Priere from La Pucelle a major Disgaea character for being a secret boss? And do we consider Nikki from Pandemonium a Gex character due to her cameo at the ending of Enter the Gecko?
My point is proven. Spyro is not a main Crash character, so therefore, he and various characters in the series should not be added to the article. Freqrexy 16:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And even if we DID except he was a Crash character (which he isn't), we wouldn't let you with your previous vandalism with it. CBFan 18:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spyro only appeared in three games in the entire 14-game series; one in the main six-game series. That's hardly enough for an out-of-universe character to even earn a spot in the list of other characters. If Spyro appears in three more games in the main series, only then will he be considered a Crash character. Cat's Tuxedo 20:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Titans page

I made a titan page, but it needs some working up. I was suprised there wasn't one yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kobb (talk • contribs) 02:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure the Titans need their own article? I mean they've only appeared in one game. Cat's Tuxedo 10:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because of the fact that there are 15 of them. And they may appear in future games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kobb (talk • contribs) 23:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever removed the titans page, it IS necessary. People can't find the page without it being here. Kobb 00:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nina

I removed the line about how she dramatically changed in CotT. She acted and behaved almost exactly the same as in CTTR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kobb (talk • contribs) 00:57, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
