Interlude
(Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates)

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Crash
Wiz: Listen, I admire another brilliant doctor of science as much as the next guy, especially those with grand plans to take over the world, but I'm not sure Doctor Neo Cortex makes the cut.

'''Boomstick: Why not? He's an evil genius who made a mutant Aussie army of animals to take over the world.'''

Wiz: Sure, but when it came time to assign a general for this "army", Cortex chose, of all things, a bandicoot.

'''Boomstick: A bandi-what? You're making that up.'''

Wiz: It's a real animal, look!

Boomstick: Aw, hey, it's kinda cute, how's that little thing gonna take over the world?

Wiz: With the Evolvo-Ray, Cortex did successfully mutate it into a powerful beast. However, when he tried to brainwash the creature, he utterly failed to create his fearsome general, instead, he got Crash Bandicoot.

Boomstick: So, Cortex threw him out like trash, and Crash became his worst nemesis ever, which is super embarrassing, cause this bandi-Crash is a few snacks short of a barbie, but his physical abilities make up for it, he's got parkour skills like nobody's business.

Wiz: Which is appropriate, as bandicoots are excellent jumpers, similar to their marsupial cousin, the kangaroo.

Boomstick: He's got superhuman strength, and can take a big hit and just keep on going, like an energizer bunny of pain!

Wiz: Crash can double jump in mid-air, slide incredible distances, and use Crash Dash to boost his speed.

'''Boomstick: He's also tapped into Mojo, a magical substance that's basically life energy, to enhance his battle techniques. He's got his Norris roundhouse and triple dragon, but his favorite move is the Cyclone Spin.'''

Wiz: He can even give this move a boost for the Death Tornado technique, though this can leave him dizzy and prone to counterattacks. Still, these brutal moves proved incredibly useful for rescuing his fellow mutant bandicoot girlfriend, Tawna.

'''Boomstick: Oh, why does she look like that? She's like, really hot, but also not at the same time, I'm really confused.'''

Wiz: Uh-huh, while Crash's natural abilities were enough to save her, his future battles with Cortex would require more sophisticated tools.

'''Boomstick: Yeah, like the rad Copter Pack, he's even got himself the unicorn of motor sports, the Space Motorcycle. What I wouldn't give for one of those...'''

Wiz: To increase his firepower, he carries a special bazooka that uses a naturally occurring and easily obtainable form of ammunition, Wumpa Fruit.

Boomstick: The same kind of fruit shooter that's on his power loader suit from "Alien", er, uh, I mean, this completely generic looking mech.

Wiz: But why fruit? I can't imagine it's a particularly effective projectile.

'''Boomstick: I don't know, Wiz, remember that time I shot you with my potato gun? You were stuck in a coma for like, a month.'''

Wiz: Wait, what? You told me I lost that month because my time travel wristwatch finally worked.

'''Boomstick: Uh, I did? Yeah, yeah, that's right, it's time travel, forget I said anything.'''

Wiz: Boomstick...
