Fake Crash
Nise Kurasshu (ニセクラッシュ)
Classification: Eastern Barred Bandicoot (Perameles Gunni)
Gender: Male
Kind: Evil (Naughty Dog games) / Good (Vicarious Visions games) Neutral (Japanese Crash Bash; Crash Boom Bang)

Fake Crash is a mysterious bandicoot who is known to appear in very random places. As the name implies, he looks like an imitation of Crash Bandicoot, though there are some key differences (such as huge eyebrows and teeth). He has a rather goofy voice and personality.

Note: Fake Crash, originally created by Naughty Dog, was inspired by a cheap Crash toy originated in Japan, with huge eyebrows and teeth. The team started calling it Trash Bandicoot, and later, Fake Crash. They decided to include him as a goofy extra in Crash 3 and CTR. Soon he became more than a random Easter Egg when he played a major role in N-Tranced. Fake Crash is one of the series' most popular characters in Japan, and he is even a playable character in the Japanese version of Crash Bash.

Character models: Show / Hide

	Crash 3/CTR Voiced by: Uncredited/Kappei Yamaguchi (Japan) The original Fake Crash look.
	N-Tranced Fake Crash's eyebrows are less bushy and have a wing-kind-of-form, like in his CTR in-kart model (see below). His nose is much smaller.
	Crash Nitro Kart/Crash Fusion Voiced by: Dwight Schultz/Kappei Yamaguchi (Japan) This is a more detailed model of Fake Crash. The eyebrows are brown instead of black; the fur is lighter; the teeth aren't spiky; the fur on his belly is much lighter, and it now connects to the fur around his mouth; he has green pants.

Out of comparison:

CTR (In-Kart)
All in-kart models from CTR are much more polygonal versions than usual, since 8 of the usual character models on screen at the same time would be more than the PS1 could handle. Fake Crash has differently styled eyebrows here, and his teeth aren't as large.

Crash: Boom, Bang!
Voiced by: Makoto Ishii
CBB was the first Crash game to be developed by a Japanese team. This gave the characters the looks they've always had in Japanese artwork and promotions.
Some of the main differences between Japanese and standard Fake Crash are his Asian eyes, different body proportions (with a very large head) and different shoes.
Like all CBB models, it is cel-shaded, giving it cartoony visuals.

Fake Crash is a playable character in the Japanese version of Crash Bash. His model is a slight modification from Crash Bandicoot's (even the animations are the same). The only changes made were the textures for the eyes and mouth, different eyebrows and a bigger nose.
