Actor portrayal

In her first appearance in Crash Bandicoot 2, Coco was voiced by unknown Vicki Winters, one of her only known acting roles. While not all of Crash Team Racing 's voice actors were credited with roles, it is widely believed that Hynden Walch voiced Coco in the game, as she is the only female in the cast.^[2] In all of the games starting with Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, Coco is voiced by Jimmy Neutron star Debi Derryberry, her voice bearing more of a resemblance to her former character as the series continued.^[3][4] In the Japanese dubs of the games from Crash Bandicoot 2 to Crash Team Racing, Coco is voiced by Sgt. Frog seiyū Haruna Ikezawa. Afterwards, she was voiced by Ema Kogure from Wrath of Cortex to Crash Twinsanity, and by Satomi Arai from Crash Tag Team Racing onwards.

Characteristics

Personality

In her debut game, Coco is shown to be somewhat bossy, ordering Crash to perform certain errands whenever she sees fit. This behavior would resurface in Crash Tag Team Racing, in which Coco is shown to have given birth to an unexplained hatred towards Nina Cortex, often accusing her of stealing important parts she needs for her vehicles.^[6] This doesn't mean she is incapable of a more caring temperament; in Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity, Coco shows concern for Crash when he is in visible danger, and, in the latter, even goes as far as physically attacking Cortex for supposedly "kidnapping" Crash. This is a list of characters appearing in the video game series Crash Bandicoot. ...

Appearance

In contrast to Crash's cartoony physical appearance, Coco's figure is more svelte and realistic. In all of her appearances, she is shown to have a full head of blond hair, usually tied up in a ponytail and with a flower stuck on the side. From her first appearance up to Wrath of Cortex, Coco is seen wearing a white shirt, light-blue overalls (with one strap undone), and pink shoes. Coco is seen in this attire in storyboards for Crash Twinsanity (which can be found as unlockable extras in the game), though she isn't in the final product. In later games, Coco is seen wearing blue jeans and a white tee-shirt with a red star on it. In Crash of the Titans, Coco's attire is very similar to what she wore in Crash Tag Team Racing, though the sleeves on her tee-shirt have become a light-blue color. Coco no longer wears her hair in a ponytail or wears a flower in it in this installment, instead having her hair straight down and wearing a blue headscarf. A ponytail is a hairstyle in which most or all of the hair on the head is pulled away from the face, gathered and secured at the back of the head with a hair tie, clip or similar device, and allowed to hang freely from that point. ... For other uses, see Flower (disambiguation). ... The star, as an ideograph, most commonly represents the astronomical star for which it is named. ... Crash of the Titans is an action-adventure game published by Sierra Entertainment and developed by Radical Entertainment for the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable; the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance versions of the game were developed by Amaze Entertainment. ...

Abilities

Despite being the same species as Crash, Coco is capable of speaking fluent English, and is exceptionally gifted in terms of intelligence, claiming to have an intelligence quotient of 164 in a recent installment of the series. With such high intelligence, Coco is able to create a number of complex machines, including the Portal Chamber in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and a machine capable of enlarging entire planets in Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure. She also has above-average computer-hacking skills, as displayed in Crash Bandicoot 2, in which she uses this talent to hack into Cortex's files and figure out his true intentions. Aside from her high intelligence, Coco is able to physically fend for herself, knowing an array of martial arts leg moves, one powerful enough to create a large shockwave. Intellectual giftedness is an intellectual ability significantly higher than average. ...

Three years after the events of Wrath of Cortex, Coco is seen chasing a butterfly on N. Sanity Island when she is ambushed by Cortex. Many moments later, Coco believes that Cortex kidnapped Crash, and travels to the Iceberg Lab to confront him. With a swift kick, she attacks Cortex and sends the Power Crystals he was holding flying into the Psychetron. The resulting chain reaction leaves Coco paralyzed until the end of the game. Coco was originally to have a Tenth Dimension counterpart (simply named Evil Coco), which was omitted from the final game.^[11] Superfamilies and families Superfamily Hedyloidea: Hedylidae Superfamily Hesperioidea: Hesperiidae Superfamily Papilionoidea: Papilionidae Pieridae Nymphalidae Lycaenidae Riodinidae A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. ...

Other appearances

Coco is a playable character in all three of the Crash Bandicoot racing titles, usually driving vehicles that are high in acceleration.^[12][13] In Crash Nitro Kart, Coco is responsible for finally putting Nash to sleep, using her signature hacking skills to do it. In Crash Tag Team Racing, Coco discovers the sole clue to whoever stole MotorWorld's Power Gems, which is Wumpa Whip. Because of Crash's high consumption of the beverage, she briefly believes (along with the others) that Crash is the culprit, despite the fact that Willie Wumpa Cheeks is the park's lone source of Wumpa Whip. At the end of the game, Coco returns the park's deed to Von Clutch, to whom it belongs.^[14]

Coco is also a playable character in Crash Bash, in which she is summoned by Aku Aku to battle against Uka Uka's team. She is one of the fastest characters in the Crate Crush levels, but is somewhat weak in the Polar Push levels.^[15] She plays a central role in Crash, Boom, Bang!, in which she is invited by the Viscount to the World Cannonball Race in his search for the Super Big Power Crystal.

In Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, Coco is abducted by N. Trance and is brainwashed alongside Crunch and Fake Crash. Coco battles Crash in a large battleship inside an active volcano, with Crash attacking the craft while it is reloading its weaponry. Upon snapping out of N. Trance's control, Coco becomes a playable character, gathering two Crystals in space while escaping the wrath of a fireball created by N. Tropy.
