Crash Bash is the first title not created by Naughty Dog, but by Eurocom Entertainment Software. It is also the last Sony-exclusive Crash title. It is the first Crash party game, with 28 mini-games and 8 playable characters from the Crash series, including newcomer Rilla Roo.

Aku Aku and Uka Uka are out to resolve their feud but are forbidden to battle each other directly so they have a contest with their teams instead. As Aku Aku only has Crash and Coco Bandicoot, Uka Uka graciously provides Tiny Tiger and Dingodile.

Instead of playing through the Adventure Mode, lazycurler exploits the game's save system and forces their way into the credits without playing a single mini-game.
