Plot[]
The game begins in the Cortex Dirigible, where Dr. Neo Cortex (voiced by Lex Lang) and his partner, mad scientist Nitrus Brio (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) are congratulating their progress on what they call the "Evolvo Ray", revealing that they've managed to successfully evolve their captive animals.
Two such subjects are bandicoot brothers Crash and Coco Bandicoot (voiced by Debi Derryberry) are trying to escape from their cell. Crash proves successful, managing to lift through the cellbar. However, Coco is captured by one of the NeoBots, just as Crash jumps out the dirigible, falling to the beneath Wumpa Island. Dr. Brio asks Dr. Cortex if they should search for Crash, but Cortex replies that he couldn't survive the fall.
Back land, Crash realizes that he managed to survive the fall. Searching through the island, Crash enters a temple and finds an ancient throne, in which he sits. However, after doing this, he wakes up the spirit of a ancient Tribesman named Aku Aku (voiced by Patrick Stewart). Aku Aku thanks Crash for freeing him, saying that now Crash is his master, and subsequently questions what Crash wanted. Crash, unable to speak, points to Dr. Cortex' dirigible and his castle, stealing all of Wumpa Island's natural richness. Aku Aku, unable to leave his home be destroyed by Cortex, joins him on his quest for Coco.
In their way, they are captured by a group of local cannibals led by Papu Papu (voiced by Dwight Schultz), who plans to make a festival for capturing what they name "destroyers". Aku Aku tries to persuade Papu Papu by making a truce with him: If they left he and Crash go, they would stop the man who is destroying the island. Papu reluctantly agrees, but let they go anyway.
