Play Crash Bandicoot, the iconic 1996 PlayStation 3D platformer developed by Naughty Dog. Step into the shoes of the orange marsupial himself as he bounds across N. Sanity Island to stop the evil Dr. Neo Cortex. Known for its challenging, forward-scrolling levels, lush jungle environments, and expressive animation, this game laid the groundwork for one of gaming’s most recognizable mascots.
How to Play
Your goal is to reach the end of each level while smashing crates and avoiding pits, TNT boxes, and Cortex’s mutant minions. The default PlayStation controls mapped to your keyboard are typically Arrow Keys to move, Z or X to jump, and C or Space to perform Crash’s signature spin attack.
Tips
- Time your jumps: The depth perception in forward-scrolling sections can be tricky. Use Crash’s shadow as a guide to see exactly where you will land.
- Collect Wumpa Fruit: Gathering 100 Wumpa Fruits grants you an extra life, which you will definitely need for the harder levels like “Slippery Climb.”
- Find Aku Aku: Collecting Aku Aku masks allows you to take an extra hit without dying. Finding three masks grants temporary invincibility, letting you blast through obstacles and enemies.
