Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped

Now, you're on my "time", you little skunk! GIVE ME THE CRYSTALS!

Crash Bandicoot: Warped (known in Europe as Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, or just simply known as Crash Bandicoot 3) is the 3rd installation in the Crash Bandicoot game series. It was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Universal Interactive Studios and Sony Computer Entertainment on November 3, 1998. This is the final mainline Crash game to be developed by Naughty Dog and to have Sony Computer Entertainment's involvement. In it, Dr. Neo Cortex's space station from the previous installment has crashed onto the Earth, releasing Uka Uka, the evil twin brother of the witch doctor's spirit Aku Aku that protects Crash, as once again the mad scientist attempts to enslave the world by gathering magic crystals with the help of Doctor Nefarious Tropy and his time machine, unless Crash and his younger sister Coco can stop them.

Intro

[The text Sony Computer Entertainment (America for US & Canada and Europe for PAL regions) Presents swipes in (for PAL regions, the URL reading www.playstation-europe.com zooms in as well)],

Cortex: Sony Computer Entertainment America/Europe Presents.

[After a few seconds, the text fades out and the 1997 Universal Interactive Studios logo zooms in, this time with the URL reading www.universalstudios.com appearing between the logo and the copyright disclaimer]

Cortex: A Universal Interactive Studios Production.

[It zooms out after a few seconds and the purple-blue space background cuts in (this would be the basis for both the game's title screen and the time twister machine), there is a open crate with the Naughty Dog logo on it with the URL reading www.naughtydog.com, it stops at the centre]

Uka Uka: The game, created and developed, by Naughty Dog!

[After a few seconds, the crate beats itself up on the inside and Crash, Coco and Aku Aku drop down through the box, the clock like device then appears the hands stopping at 3, the title text (Crash Bandicoot: Warped) appears, this is the title screen]

Cortex: Crash Bandicoot

Uka Uka: WARPED

[Selections of New Game, Load Game and the language selection then appear]

Cortex: Press start to begin.

Dialogue

[The blown up Cortex Vortex enters Planet Earth as meteor pieces, one of the pieces crashes into a prison where Uka Uka was kept, therefore freeing him]

Uka Uka (laughs evilly): Free... at last!

[Fades out to Crash Bandicoot's house on N. Sanity Island, Aku Aku is watching Crash, Coco and Polar, but when they hear Uka Uka's evil laugh, they grow concerned.]

Aku Aku: Uka Uka is free?! No! It cannot be! Evil, great evil has come.

[Aku Aku, Coco and Polar run inside the house as Crash is confused, and the door closes, getting Crash's attention, as he runs inside while the door reopens and closes again, fade to Uka Uka on the Time Twister Machine, Dr. Neo Cortex is on his knees before him, pathetically pleading for forgiveness]

Uka Uka (pissed at Dr. Neo Cortex): None have dared fail the great Uka Uka even once! But you, Cortex, you have failed me TWICE!

Cortex (pathetically pleading): Great Uka Uka, it was that infernal Bandicoot!

Uka Uka (pissed): From deep inside my temple prison, I sent you simple instructions to follow. But you lost the Gems, you lost the Crystals, AND I HAVE LOST MY PATIENCE!! There is now no other power source left on this planet.

Cortex (pathetically pleading): I know, we've had a few unfortunate... setbacks.

Uka Uka (pissed): AND FAILED, (Cortex shrinks down) but since your bumbling has managed to set me free, I am feeling... generous. There is still a way for us to amass the power needed to enslave this miserable planet, and this time... (Dr. Nefarious Tropy walks toward Cortex and folds his arms) THIS TIME, THE GREAT UKA UKA WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO IT RIGHT!!!

[fades out to inside Crash Bandicoot's house, Aku Aku gathers Crash, Coco & Polar in the living room]

Aku Aku (to Crash and Coco): After many eons, my evil twin brother, Uka Uka, has been freed from his underground prison. Long ago, I locked him there, to protect the world from his malice. Now, free once again, he must be stopped!

[the door to Crash Bandicoot's house is slammed open and Crash, Coco, and Aku Aku run out the front door past Polar, and head over to the Time Twister Machine]

Aku Aku (to Crash and Coco): Children, Uka Uka and Cortex plan to use this Time Twisting Machine to gather Crystals that lay scattered across time. I brought you here to recover the Crystals before they do so. To open on the time portal, simply stand on a button, and then, jump into the portal. Good luck.

[Upon entering the 1st Level (Crash)]

Cortex (appears in the time vortex with Uka Uka alongside): Crash, Crash, Crash. Why must you always muck in my mud? Oh, look, I have a mask helping me too. We will find out which one is more powerful, soon enough!

[If Crash and Coco forget the crystal]

Aku Aku (appears in the time vortex): Crash, Coco. You forgot to bring the Crystal out of that level. Quickly, go back in and get it. Cortex's minions are searching for it as we speak.

[If Crash and Coco forget the crystal again]

Aku Aku (appears in the time vortex): Crash, Coco. You are not listening to me. Find the Crystals that look like this (shows crystal) before Dr. Cortex enslaves us all.

[Upon re-entering the same level the 1st time]

Aku Aku (appears in the time vortex): Crash, Coco. If you have already retrieved a level's Crystal, then you will see a floating clock when you enter for the second time. This floating clock activates Time Trial mode. Grab it and the clock will start ticking. Race for the end to get the best time, but beware, some elements will change.

[Upon entering the 3rd Level (Coco)]

Tiny (appears in the time vortex): Uka Uka and Cortex want Tiny to get Crystals and bring them to big Coliseum in Rome. CRASH, LEAVE THEM FOR TINY, OR CRASH GET CRUSHED!

[Upon entering the 1st boss level (Crash)]

Tiny (appears in the time vortex, pissed): CRASH, COCO, STOLE THE PRETTY CRYSTALS! TINY TAKE THEM BACK... IN GLADIATOR ARENA!

[Upon defeating Tiny Tiger]

Aku Aku (appears in the time vortex): Well done, children. By defeating Tiny, you have unlocked the gate to the next Time Travel Area. Go back to the center of this time twister and save your progress, if you wish. From there, you will see that the gate to the second Time Travel Area is now open.

[Upon entering 6th Level (Crash)]

Uka Uka (appears in the time vortex alongside Dr. Neo Cortex): WHY?! WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO BE A THORN IN OUR SIDE?! (moves out of Dr. Neo Cortex)

Cortex: Who-- What? Where was I? (sighs sadly) Oh. Tiny was a good fellow. He hated everyone and everything, but a good heart, nonetheless. Please be more reasonable with my Minions next time.

[Upon entering the 9th Level (Crash)]

Dingodile (appears in the time vortex): G'day, mates! Dingodile's the name, and Uka Uka and Cortex gave me orders to bring the Crystals to them during the Ice Ages. So gimme the goods and shove off, or I'll roast ya's!

[Upon entering the 2nd boss level (Crash)]

Dingodile (appears in the time vortex, pissed): Right. now you've gone and done it. Them Crystals are MINE!

[Dingodile is seen threatening a penguin with his flamethrower]

Dingodile (laughs maniacally, sees Crash): Break out the butter; I'm gonna make toast!

[Crash defeats Dingodile]

Dingodile: Ya' thrashed me, mate. No worries, but you'll soon be up against much worse.

[Upon entering the 11th Level (Crash)]

N. Tropy (appears in the time vortex): Well, haven't we gotten far for a pair of fuzzy marsupials? I am Dr. Nefarious Tropy, Master of Time and creator of the very Time Twister Machine you see before you. Uka Uka and Dr. Cortex has sent me to end this little charade, so you won't be leaving my area with the Crystals, I swear it.

[Upon entering the 13th level (Crash)]

N. Tropy: So, you pesky, little rats aren't going to back off, eh? Just you continue to gather Crystals and see what I do.

[Upon entering the 15th level (Crash)]

Cortex (appears in the time vortex alongside Uka Uka): Well, you've crashed a few parties before, but I never expected you to make it this far. If you don't turn back! (Uka Uka then moves in front of Dr. Neo Cortex)

Uka Uka (threateningly, growls): I will inflict a thousand years of suffering on you and the ENTIRE UNIVERSE!

[Upon entering the 3rd boss level (Crash)]

N. Tropy (appears in the time vortex, pissed): AAAARRRGGH!! YOU LITTLE VERMIN ARE WAY TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOURSELVES INTO! THIS TIME, YOU'VE DONE IT!

[Dr Nefarious Tropy notices Crash]

N. Tropy: Now you're on my "time", you little skunk! GIVE ME THE CRYSTALS!

'[Crash defeats Dr. Nefarious Tropy]'

N. Tropy: My 'time' is up... but yours soon will be too.

[Upon defeating Dr Nefarious Tropy]

Uka Uka (appears in the time vortex alongside Dr. Neo Cortex): You insolent, insignificant morons! By defeating N. Tropy, you have placed us all in great risk! (grunts as he moves out of Dr. Neo Cortex)

Cortex: Crash, Coco, you must realize that this Time Twister Machine is very delicate. Without Dr. N. Tropy's constant care and control, who knows what it will do?!

[Upon entering the 19th level (Crash)]

N. Gin (appears in the time vortex): So, Crash Bandicoot, we meet again. Uka Uka and Dr. Cortex want me to teach you a lesson. Well, I've made a few modifications to my mechanics, since our last encounter. So back off, or be deleted!

[Upon entering the 4th boss level (Coco)]

N. Gin (appears in the time vortex): So, you want to go a few rounds? When this is over, we'll see who's obsolete!

[Dr. N. Gin is in his rebuilt mech, he notices Coco Bandicoot]

N. Gin: Prepare to be PULVERIZED, BANDICOOT!

[Coco defeats Dr. N. Gin]

N. Gin (pissed): AAAAARGH!! NOT AGAIN!

[Upon defeating Dr. N. Gin]

Cortex (appears in the time vortex alongside Uka Uka: It's funny how history repeats itself. Yet again, N. Gin has failed to defeat you. (Uka Uka then moves in front of Dr. Neo Cortex)

Uka Uka (pissed): Wha--! FOR THIS, WE MUST DESTROY YOU! (Uka Uka then moves out of Dr. Neo Cortex)

Cortex (grunts; groans): Oh, my aching head! I'm not feeling myself these days. So, the end is in sight: Gather another 5 Crystals, and again, you will have foiled my plan...or will you?

[Upon entering the 24th level (Crash)]

Aku Aku (appears in the time vortex): Crash, Coco, remember: It is not only Dr. Cortex who we battle. Beware of Uka Uka, my children. He is a far more dangerous enemy than anyone can imagine.

[Upon entering the final boss level (Crash)]

Cortex (appears in the time vortex alongside Uka Uka, laughs ironically): I'm sorry. This is the part where I'm supposed to be angry, full of rage, incensed beyond belief. Once again, you've outsmarted and outspun my best henchmen. I should be rather upset, shouldn't I? (Uka Uka then moves in front of Dr. Neo Cortex)

Uka Uka (pissed): And in fact, WE'RE FURIOUS, but it seems you have overlooked one small detail, you little orange delivery boy: Now that you have gathered all the Crystals, all we have to do IS TAKE THEM FROM YOU!!!

[Dr. Neo Cortex groans and angrilly jumps on his hover board, Uka Uka moves in front of Dr. Neo Cortex]'

Uka Uka: Crash Bandicoot, for the last time, GIVE THE CRYSTALS TO ME!!!

[Crash defeats Dr. Neo Cortex; before collecting all of the Gems and Relics]

Cortex: Defeated again! This is not fair! Maybe I should retire to a nice, big beach, with a nice, big drink and a woman with nice big...bags of ice for my head!

Uka Uka: It's not over, Bandicoot. There are still the gems! We still have a chance to triumph!

[Dr. Cortex and Uka Uka both escape in the time portal and the end credits roll]

[Upon collect all the Gems and Relics; the same scene before the fight plays, except Uka-Uka is already in front of Dr. Neo Cortex]

Uka Uka: Yes, it is true! The bandicoot has brought all of the Crystals and all of the Gems to me! ULTIMATE POWER IS MINE!! The world, as we know it, IS ABOUT TO END!!!

[Crash defeats Dr. Neo Cortex; all Gems & Relics collected]

Uka Uka: No... it cannot be! Not a prisoner of time again! (screams)

[The time portal then becomes unstable and sucks both Dr. Neo Cortex and Uka Uka into the time portal with the machine parts. The time portal grows bigger, cut to the inside of Crash Bandicoot's house]

Aku Aku: The Time Twister Machine could not hold itself together. We were lucky to escape.

[Dr. Neo Cortex and Dr. Nefarious Tropy have both turned into babies, and are pulling Uka Uka back and forth between them in a volcanic location]

Baby Cortex (fighting for Uka Uka): Give me the mask! With it, I shall take over the world! Come on!

Aku Aku (voiceover): It is difficult to say what has happened to our enemies, but I doubt we will see them for a long time.

[the end credits then roll]

Game Over

[If Crash and Coco lose all their lives, the time vortex appears, albeit colored orange, with the continue selection of Yes and No]

Uka Uka (appears in the time vortex alongside Dr. Neo Cortex): Game Over!

[If the player selects Yes]

Uka Uka: When will you ever learn, you MISERABLE BANDICOOTS?!?!?!

[Crash and Coco then return to the time twister machine with only 4 lives]

[If the player selects No, Uka Uka moves out of Dr. Neo Cortex]

Cortex: Goodbye for now!

[The title screen then returns]
