Crash Bash DYK

[Andy]

In the Japanese version of Crash Bash "Fake Crash" is secret character.

He is only unlocked by holding L1 and R1 and press left, square, circle, left, triangle, left while on the character select screen.

Video/Proof:




Side note: many people remember him from Crash bandicoot 3 where he would randomly dance hidden in the game's background

Ahaha, I loved this game as a young'un. I remember reading something about Fake Crash; Apparently he was a big part of Crash's ad campaigns in Japan, and ended up being really popular. They hid him in a few of the Japanese Crash games.

He is also in some other games tho :o even started in crash bandicoot 3

Gotta love Fake Crash. I hated how he wasn't in the American version of this game for some reason. He's based off a bootlegged plushie an employee at Naughty Dog bought in Chinatown. The company used it as a joke at first but thought it would be cool to have him in the background of Crash Bandicoot Warped. Than they made him a racer in CTR and eventually he would become an official villain in N-Tranced for the GBA. In the story when N. Tropy attempts to gather Crash, Coco, and Crunch to brainwash them, he only Grabs Coco and Crunch and only a portion of Crash which turns into Fake Crash. He looks the same as before but now has green jeans. His fight is a mirror battle where you have to simply trick him into stepping on a trap by moving over them yourself when there not active. An easy concept but confusing to play in practice. At the end of the game Fake Crash helps Crash defeat N-Trance and supposedly becomes an ally and has made several other appearances in other Crash spinoff games.
