History VideoGame / CrashOnTheRun

* FanservicePack: Coco's design is mostly based on her ''N. Sane Trilogy'' design, but with a noticeable bust-line and HartmanHips. A number of her alternate skins also [[FormFittingWardrobe hug her figure quite nicely]].

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Pretty much every boss undergoes this realisation when their rift sucks them away post-defeat. Often mixed with OhCrap, though there are two exception, the first is Dark Spyro, rather than panicking, just makes a subdued sulky look before getting dragged in. The second is Koala Kong who gave a RoarOfDefiance... till a boulder hits him on the head.

* GetBackHereBoss: All gang leader battles involve your character chasing the villain while they drop weapons from their hovercraft (Uka Uka, Mr. Crumb, N. Tropy, and Dark Spyro don't use it, as they already can fly).

** Season 3 introduced several ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon'' pieces of content, including several themed skins and boss fights against Gnasty Gnorc and Dark Spyro, the latter of whom seems to be based on his ''WesternAnimation/SkylandersAcademy'' self, while also carrying [[VideoGame/SpyroAHerosTail sinister purple crysals with him.]]

* EndlessRunningGame: Only applies to the Survival Runs. The Collection Runs ''appear'' endless, but the tracks within the level actually have multiple loops.
* ExcusePlot: By franchise standards, the plot is extremely simple: Neo Cortex wants to take over all the dimensions, so Crash and Coco must stop him!

* GetBackHereBoss: All gang leader battles involve your character chasing the villain while they drop weapons from their hovercraft (Uka Uka, Mr. Crumb and N. Tropy don't use it, as they already can fly).

* BigBad: Neo Cortex is the main one, as always, but each season has a different one:

** The Collection Run loops are entirely learnable, as crates, traps, switches, spring mushrooms, hazards and such, do not change positions.
* AntiHoarding: The Silo's capacity is 150 crafting items. If it gets overfilled, the player cannot go into Collection Runs nor craft items that still exceed the Silo's limit. The Silo's first upgrade is to 300, and can be upgraded each time after this to hold 50 more items, or the player must sell items to lower down the total amount.

** Skins have useful perks for Collection Runs and Battle Runs (10% more of a specific ingredient, for example). The perks for skins do not apply for Survival Runs.

* FreemiumTimer: Much of the game's main progression is centered around gathering materials in Collection Runs, then using those materials to create portal weapons to use in battle runs. However, weapons must be left to construct before taking them into battle runs, and each new type of weapon takes longer than the last, and each collection run level contains only a limited supply of materials, which refills completely a set amount of time after a run is completed in that level. While you can alleviate some of this by cooking up items in tandem (the first two slots on the machines only require free-to-get ingredients, =with only the third slot requiring the use of purple crystals), both timers can be bypassed by spending purple crystals, which are handed out in small quantities while playing, or can be bought in much larger quantities via in app purchases.

* {{Crossover}}: Domino's announced a deal with the game where players could battle their old mascot, the Noid.

* FanservicePack: Coco's once flat chest is noticeably more pronounced than in the [[VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy previous]] [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled three]] [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime games]].

* EndlessRunningGame: Only applies to the Survival Runs. The Collection Runs ''appear'' endless, but the track within the level are actually have multiple loops.

* NostalgiaFilter: Crash and Coco have retro skins that hearken back to their original trilogy.

* ShockwaveStomp: Slamming the ground destroys surrounding crates and enemies.

** One of the bosses is a Pink Elephant, which was originally an enemy that was meant to appear in the DummiedOut ''Twinsanity'' level Gone a Bit Coco.

* NostalgiaFilter: Crash and Coco have retro skins that hearken back to their original trilogy (In crash's case, the model is actually from one of their [=PS2=] games).

* GetBackHereBoss: All gang leader battles involve your character chasing the villain while they drop weapons from their hovercraft (Uka Uka and Mr. Crumb don't use it, as they already can fly).

* MacGuffinDeliveryService: The Return of Nitros Oxide event ended with Oxide revealing that all the event quests to gather and deposit resources were all a ploy set by him to trick Crash and Coco into repairing his ship for him.

* SystematicVillainTakedown: The main way you’ll be dealing with the villains is facing their four minions before a battle with the villain themselves.

* UnexpectedCharacter: An upcoming boss battle will be against the Noid, a Domino's pizza mascot from the 1980's, which is completely out of left field as additional characters goes.

** The spin attack will continue if it's meant to end while smashing a crate, saving players unneeded grief if they spin too early. Similarly, sliding underneath something too early will continue the slide.

** The Collection Run loops are entirely learnable, as they do not change crates or positions, and the traps, spring mushrooms, hazards and such are always in the same places.
