Crash Twinsanity is the fifth platform game in the Crash Bandicoot series. It was released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

Story

Crash has to team up with the evil Dr. Neo Cortex, in order to stop the evil twins, who are two twin parakeets named Victor and Moritz. When Cortex was younger (8 years old), he created the Evolvo-Ray, and tested it on the twins. However, the Evolvo-Ray was still in a testing phase, and instead of mutating Victor and Moritz, it warped them to the obscure 10th dimension, which is our dimension's exact opposite. The severe radioactive conditions there sharpened their skills, and warped their fragile egg-shell minds. The now self-called Evil Twins manage to return to our dimension, with plans of destroying Cortex and N. Sanity Island. Crash reluctantly pairs up with the doctor to stop the twins, and along the way, they join up with Nina Cortex, Dr. Cortex's bionically enhanced niece. All 3 set off into the 10th dimension, where whatever is good is evil, and vice versa.

Characters

  • Crash Bandicoot was once just an ordinary bandicoot in the wild, but Cortex snatched him and experimented on him with his failed Evolvo-Ray. Nowadays, he's usually seen basking in the sun, but as always, he's too busy for that.
  • Dr. Neo Cortex is the mad scientist that created Crash, and usually, he's the main antagonist of the series. Crash realy likes wiping the floor with Cortex and mess up every one of his evil schemes. But now Cortex has to work with his arch-nemesis to ward off this new threat.
  • Nina Cortex is Cortex's cyborg niece. Cortex replaced her arms with spring-loaded, steel-trap ones, and sent her away to the School for Evil Children when she started showing signs of a good heart. She still loves cute animals, and now she's going to help her uncle save the world.
  • The Evil Twins are the main villains of this game. They are two mutant parrots from the 10th Dimension that have come to take over N. Sanity Island. They have really large brains and advanced weaponry. Crash and Cortex are trying to find out why they're here to destroy our dimension.
  • Tikimon is a four-armed tiki god that was awakened by The Evil Twins. It's impervious to outside attacks.
  • N. Brio(Dr Nitrus Brio|N. Brio]] and *N. Tropy are now working with each other. They're hunting for the same treasure as Dr. Cortex, so they will try to stop Crash and Dr. Cortex at all costs.
  • Papu Papu can often be seen participating in his tribe's rituals in N. Sanity Island. He kidnaps Dr. Cortex and ties him up in a totem as the story proceeds.
  • N. Gin now has his own battle ship, using his Rhino pirates and rockets to get Crash away from him.
  • Rusty Walrus is the cook of N. Gin's battle ship. He chases Crash in order to put him in his cooking pot.

Soundtrack

The background soundtrack of Crash Twinsanity, which usually will be remembered by many players for its unusual rhythm, was done by Spiralmouth, a contemporary a cappella band from the US. The entire soundtrack has little or no dependence on musical instruments, most of it being done by the group's vocal talents. This kind of thing was continued to Crash Tag Team Racing.
