Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Sonic, and suddenly Sony had Crash, the wild and energetic orange bandicoot created by the up-and-coming Naughty Dog studio. For many kids, Crash Bandicoot was their very first PlayStation game, often bundled in with the console itself, and it showed off what 3D platforming could look like outside of Nintendo’s world. The game was colorful, fast paced, and loaded with personality. Players guided Crash through tight levels filled with crates to smash, pits to jump, and enemies to spin away. It was a game that was easy to pick up and play, yet it offered just enough challenge to keep older gamers hooked. Sony also knew how to market it, running memorable commercials that featured a guy in a Crash suit shouting at Nintendo headquarters through a megaphone. It was cheeky, loud, and perfectly captured the PlayStation attitude. While it never offered the sprawling worlds of Super Mario 64, Crash Bandicoot proved that the PlayStation could stand tall in the platforming space. Its nearly seven million sales cemented the character as the unofficial mascot of the PS1 era, a role that remains legendary even today.
