CRASH BANDICOOT RUMBLE UPGRADE

In the same menu, you choose this added bonus. There is a cooldown bar, so you have to wait to use them, but there are enemies you can drop to defeat the other team, there are plants you can use (like the venomous tentacula!), and there is a healing fridge that tethers to your team and heals them as needed. On top of these perks, each character gets an added bonus you can use throughout the game.

They also have a powerful spin, so they are good for either defending your own bank or camping on the enemy bank and keeping them from scoring! These guys have a gun that can destroy the other team’s health pretty quickly. The Scorer’s job is to collect as many wumpas as possible and bank them! If your team gets the bonus bank open, it doubles the value of your deposit, so it is worth it! You can defeat other players with the traditional spin, squash, or slide move.

These cost 30 relics and take a while to earn! The beach balls are 5 relics, and the jump pads are 2. There’s a UFO (you can hear Syndey talk about that in our interview), an Uka Uka (voodoo spirit mask) station, and a bonus bank per each respective map.

CRASH BANDICOOT RUMBLE UPGRADE

There are jump pads that get you to the highest point on the map, and there is always one major upgrade per map. Depending on the map, there are beach balls or barbed wire balls that envelope you, and you can roll around destroying other players. Multiple relic pads throughout the map offer different “enhancements” to help your team. If the enemy team stands on a pad long enough, they will turn the timer in their favor! There are also relics to collect, which Michelle took on as her job with the boosting. The catch is there are 3-4 of them in multiple areas of the map, and there’s a timer that you have to maintain to win the gem pad. The platforming comes with the booster characters, as there are gem pads that boost the value of the wumpa dump for your team. Think of it as, Super Smash Bros meets Destiny 2’s Gambit Look at that 1200 score! And 100% on gem pads by the two of us! The aim of the game is to be the first team to bank 2000 wumpa fruits before the other team! There’s a home bank for each team, and all 8 players are on the same map. For our team, Erika was Tawna and a badass scorer, Michelle was Coco as a Booster, Lawrence Sonntag was a Dingo, and Danny Pena was collecting points. You have scorers, boosters, and defensive players. Each character holds a specific area of strength for the team. For the event, we had Crash, Tawna, Coco, and a Dingodile. She is exactly right! You play a team of 4, and there are multiple beloved characters to choose from. You’ve seen other Crash games in the past that have done different things but you haven’t seen the platforming experience in a multiplayer.” So we’re saying 4v4, competitive, strategic, platformer, right? Which you haven’t seen that before. “We’re trying to figure out what genre it is. So, what is the game, you may be asking? Let’s hear it straight from the Senior Studio Coordinator for Toys for Bob, Sydney Del Signore! When discussing the game type and strategy, her comment was: How cool! Once we all finished the tutorial, it was match time. You’re immediately immersed back into the world of Crash! Similar movements and actions, but with a different purpose for this game. They first got us started by taking a short 4-5 minute tutorial to explain the game’s objective and get used to the controls. Along one wall were several tables with monitors, headsets, PS5s, and computers to record our gameplay. Upon entering, we were met by Crash himself! Photo op! The room was decked out in themed decorations, music, and drinks/snacks! There was initial awkwardness as everyone entered as no one was sure where to start exploring first until Marisa (Activision PR) welcomed us to the event.
