Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex is a 3D platformer by Traveller's Tales, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001 and later for the Xbox and GameCube. It was the first main Crash Bandicoot game made without Naughty Dog. Dr. Neo Cortex and Uka Uka build a super-bandicoot, Crunch, and power him with the Elementals, four masks that bring disasters with them. Crash has to collect the crystals that can stop him.

From a hub of warp rooms Crash runs through levels of crates, jumps and chases, while Coco takes the wheel for jeeps, submarines, planes and other vehicles. Relics for time trials and gems hidden in every level reward replaying them.
