Then there’s Dingodile, who has a giant vacuum that can suck up crates (I was getting some Blinx vibes while playing it). Some levels have you playing as Tawna, who uses a grappling hook and can do wall-jumps. Each have the same abilities that you’ll recognize from the original games. For most levels, you can control either Crash or his sister, Coco. You’ll also occasionally play as new characters. These gimmicks add some needed variety and excitement.
Another reverses gravity, so you can flip yourself onto the roof. These serve as powerups that give you special abilities. As you play through the adventure, you come across four magical masks. Not that Crash Bandicoot 4 doesn’t have new tricks to make it feel like more than a retread. Image Credit: GamesBeat Masks and marsupials
