Coco Bandicoot was designed to be a female counterpart and is known for her intelligence and technological skills.

The saga begins with Crash Bandicoot, a mutant marsupial created by the evil scientist Dr. Neo Cortex, who is trying to take over the world by creating and controlling mutant animals. Crash escapes from Cortex's laboratory and becomes the hero who protects the Wumpa Islands and stops the villain and his henchmen from their plans.

Throughout the series, Crash faces various enemies, including Dr. N. Gin, Tiny Tiger, Dingodile, and other villains like Dr. Nefarious Tropy and Nina Cortex. He also receives help from allies like his sister Coco, the magical mask Aku Aku, and other characters.

The games explore different adventures ranging from rescuing friends, preventing Cortex from obtaining powerful artifacts, time travel, to competing in races and mini-games.
