Game • 1998

Crash Bandicoot: Warped is the third game in the Crash Bandicoot series and the first to feature Coco as a playable character.

The Time-Twister is split up into five chambers, each chamber has five buttons that open portals to different levels. The goal in each level is to find and obtain the crystal hidden in the level. Crash Bandicoot: Warped was lauded by critics in many areas, and the game has been considered one of the best video games of all time.
