Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure (JP) (released as Crash Bandicoot XS in Europe and Crash Bandicoot Advance in Japan) is a platform game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Universal Interactive for the Game Boy Advance. It is the 7th installment in the Crash Bandicoot series and is also the first Crash Bandicoot game to release on a handheld console.
Gameplay[]
It is a platform game where you play as Crash Bandicoot and must gather 20 crystals and reverse the shrinkage of the Earth by Dr. Neo Cortex.
Plot[]
In a space station orbiting the Earth, Uka Uka is upset with Doctor Neo Cortex for failing him once again, but Cortex promises a plan that will bring the Earth's inhabitants down to size. Cortex then introduces his Planetary Minimizer, which he immediately uses to shrink the Earth down to the size of a grapefruit. The situation is brought to Aku Aku's attention when Cortex taunts the now-microscopic people of Earth. When Aku Aku informs Crash of the Earth's predicament, Coco assumes that Cortex is using the Crystals to power his shrinking machine, and requests that Crash find the same kind of Crystals in various locations around the world, which she will use to build a device that will reverse the effects of Cortex's Minimizer.
Cortex decides to deal with Crash himself by firing the Planetary Minimizer at him after Dingodile, N. Gin and Tiny are defeated. However, Crash tricks him into shrinking the colored Gems that stabilize the Minimizer, causing it to malfunction. The unrestrained effects of the Minimizer fuse Cortex and the previous bosses together, creating a monster known as Mega-Mix, who chases Crash down the space station's hallway in an attempt to kill him. Fortunately, Crash escapes back to the Earth just in time for Coco to use the Crystals that he has gathered to return the Earth back to normal again. The Earth is returned to its original size, while the space station above Earth explodes and Cortex and the others escape in an escape pod.
Reception[]
Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure received positive reviews. It sold about 750,000 copies in the United States and earned $19,000,000 in August 2006.
