This is the first Crash Bandicoot game to be released on other consoles that are not just Playstation.
This is also the first Crash Bandicoot game where Coco has combat moves when you play as her.
On the Xbox version of the game, there is a cheat where you can beat the game in full 100%. When you start a new game, you'll be told to type in a name. Type in "WOMBAT" and the cheat will be activated.
This game was originally going to be a free roam game, but the concept of that idea was later scrapped and the idea wasn't used until Crash Twinsainty (2004) was released.
