Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best
24. Crunch Bandicoot
Crunch Bandicoot is the Scrappy Doo of the Bandicoot family, and he’s about as popular too.
Crunch started out as a central villain in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex. While the game is better than some corners of the fan base will have you believe, it signalled the end of the golden run of Bandicoot games, and thus has a bad reputation.
While Crunch was a villain, a face turn at the end saw him join up with Crash and Coco on the side of good thereafter.
Considering he just looks like a jacked up Crash, and in the Speed category shares stats with Dingodile and Tiny Tiger (as well as several more), he’s not proving to be very popular online either.
Along with Small Norm and Zam, pretty much no one is picking him. If you end up preferring one of the bottom three, you’ll be a unique racer in pretty much every match you’re in.
The one thing you can say for him is that his Dirt Bike skin is one of the coolest in the game, and well worth picking up if you do plan on playing as Crunch.
