Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot was built to be a mascot before he was built to be a game. Naughty Dog's Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin wanted a character that could stand beside Mario and Sonic for Sony's new PlayStation, and they chose a bandicoot — a real Australian marsupial — largely because few people knew what one was, leaving room to define it.

Who is Crash Bandicoot?
Crash Bandicoot was built to be a mascot before he was built to be a game. Naughty Dog's Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin wanted a character that could stand beside Mario and Sonic for Sony's new PlayStation, and they chose a bandicoot — a real Australian marsupial — largely because few people knew what one was, leaving room to define it. Artists Charles Zembillas and Joe Pearson designed him with a huge grin, spin attack and orange fur that would read against the jungle greens of the first game, which was released in 1996. Sony never formally declared him its mascot, but for much of the late 1990s he functioned as one. The series later moved between companies and now belongs to Activision, which released the N. Sane Trilogy remakes in 2017 and a new mainline game in 2020. The orange-and-blue design, and the spinning tornado of his attack, are the images that sell.
