A rejuvenated Neo Cortex is taking over the world one brain at a time! Cortex and N. Brio devise a new kind of evil -- a text-messaging, do-anything device which controls both mutant and bandicoot minds. Armed with his quick-wits and lightening agility, Crash must free his friends, the titans and save the day!

-- Mutant in your Pocket! -- Not only does Crash gain the ability to
     control his enemies when he jacks them -- now he can store his favorite
     monsters in his pocket, upgrade them and utilize their powers when they
     are most advantageous
  -- "Free-Romping" World Design -- Wumpa Island becomes a "free-romping"
     environment, allowing players to travel and explore through
     intersecting worlds, with different gameplay options available
     depending on what creature you've brought along for the ride
  -- Girl Power! -- Your co-op partner is Crash's sister, Coco, playable for
     the first time in the cooperative mode.  Not only does Coco make the
     game that much more inviting for girls to pick up and play, she also
     brings with her a new tactile "treasure hunt" ability

  -- New Abilities
     o Roll and Counter Combat System -- Crash will have a fun, agile dodge
       move and "counter" move which will inflict extra damage on his
       enemies
     o Digging -- Crash can now dig underground as real-life bandicoots
       really do;  this will allow for Crash to unlock bonus items
     o Climbing -- Crash can climb vertical surfaces and jump side-to-side
       to connected areas and dodge hazards
