💙Megumi Bandicoot!"✨

Megumi is a female bandicoot responsible for handing out prizes to Docter Neo Cortex and Docter N. Gin in Crash Team Racing and returns as a playable character in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, speaking with a Japanese accent in the latter. The epilogue of the game states that she unveiled a new line of perfume called "Eau De 'Coot", featuring the alluring scent of fermenting wumpa fruit.

Megumi is named after Megumi Hosoya who was the product manager and marketing manager for Sony Computer Entertainment Japan for the first three Crash games.

Megumi has sky blue hair and tail, along with orange eyes. Her attire resembles that of a doctor's, comprising of a sleeveless white lab coat, white pants and black sneakers, thus being somewhat of a female version of the Lab Assistants' outfits. She is often seen carrying a large white and sky blue striped umbrella. Megumi has the least altered appearance in CTR Nitro-Fueled, the only changes being her fur is lighter, her sneakers are now dark gray and her right ear has a piercing.

Although little of her character is explored, Megumi's most visible trait is her unrestrained sense of excitement, which clashes with her otherwise courteous personality. Out of all the Nitro Squad members, Megumi is the least aggressive, and seems soley focused on enjoying herself and her friends rather than claiming victory. Unlike the rest of the Nitro Squad members, Megumi doesn't take losing too seriously as she doesn't care about her loss and can be seen clapping and congratulating the winner on the winning podium. She is also the only character who shows good sportmanship whenever she loses on the winning podium. In Crash Team Racing, Megumi is one of the motorsports models that can be seen in the game upon winning a race, along with Ami, Liz, and Isabella. Megumi appears when either Neo Cortex or N. Gin wins a race. She twirls her umbrella, then waves at the camera before presenting the winner and their trophy on the podium.
