Crash Bandicoot (video game)

Crash Bandicoot is a platform game made by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation featuring the character by the same name. It was released in 1996. In it, Crash must fight Dr. Neo Cortex's henchmen in order to save Tawna, his beloved bandicoot girlfriend.

Tawna

Tawna was Crash's girlfriend and the damsel in distress in the first game. While the player's main objective is to rescue Tawna from Cortex, Tawna also appears in the end of certain bonus rounds which are only accessible after the player collects three "Tawna" icons. She has been omitted from further installments, presumably due to her exaggerated sex appeal (which was already toned down considerably from her original concept) for what was generally considered a "kiddie" series. Naughty Dog replaced her with Crash's sister Coco in the second game (who has appeared every Crash game since) as the series heroine. She has since been written off from the series as having dumped Crash for Pinstripe (which arguably makes the purpose of the first game pointless).
