Continuity and confusion

  • Why he has not yet been destroyed by Uka Uka who multiple times has stated that he would kill Cortex should he fail - which often ends up being the case.
  • Why Dr. N. Brio betrayed him in Crash Bandicoot 2 and then suddenly reappears by his side in Crash Bash, without explanation.
  • How he's grown again from the mishaps at the end of "Crash Twinsanity".
