Coco Bandicoot

Coco Bandicoot is a main character and the deuteragonist of the Crash Bandicoot video game franchise. First introduced in the 1997 game Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, she is the highly intelligent, tech-savvy younger sister of the main protagonist, Crash. Key facts about her character include: • The Brains of the Operation: Unlike her goofy, chaotic older brother, Coco is a tech genius. She builds advanced gadgets, hacks computers, and provides technical support to help thwart the evil plans of Dr. Neo Cortex. • Playable Character: Over the course of the franchise, she evolved from a background helper into a fully playable character. In games like Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped and Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, players can control her as she uses her own martial arts moves, rides vehicles, and traverses levels just like Crash. • Origin Story: According to the series' lore, she was an ordinary eastern barred bandicoot who was genetically evolved and given human-level intelligence through Dr. Neo Cortex's Evolvo-Ray, though she ultimately escaped his control.
