History VideoGame / CrashOnTheRun

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

** Season 7: Madame Amberley.

* QueerColors: Season 3 released six rainbow-themed skins (three for both playable characters) in celebration of Pride Month, which the season took place during. The skin that most exemplifies this is Rainbow Coco, who sports the bisexual flag on her T-shirt alomg with having streaks of each color dyed into her hair.

** Season 7: Madame Amberley.

* HalloweenEpisode: Season 6 takes place on Halloween and will have the fittingly spooky Mr. Crumb as the villain.

** Season 2 had a limited-time event where you could fight Domino's old mascot The Noid.

* GuestFighter: As part of a limited time event, one of the mini-bosses that the bandicoots face is The Noid from Dominos Pizza.

* UnwinnableByMistake: The Iron Crate battle run for Dark Spyro has a GameBreakingBug where the TNT and Iron crates begin and end too early, leading to impossible (and/ or needlessly tricky) routes around the falling Iron crates. Not only that, but the end sequence of banishing Iron Crate to his dimension has the iron crates fall from above as if you can still weave around it, meaning unless you have Aku-Aku on hand to take a hit, you'll fail the run ''in a scripted event!''

* MilestoneCelebration: Season 5 is a celebration of Crash's 25 anniversary, with Pinstripe set to be the antagonist.

* PaletteSwap: The henchmen and bosses come in four types: Nitro, Frosty, Inferno, and Oxide. Nitro enemies has them in their original appearance with the other three types being a distinctive color.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Dying usually results in you losing any Steps you accumulated during this and prior runs as well as any bonus trophies, but you'll usually keep any resources and Wumpa fruit otherwise.

* WhenThingsSpinScienceHappens: When creating a Portal Weapon, the machine that does so spins around.

* EnemyMine: One of the missions during Season Three is hosted by Neo Cortex, who attempts to make a Reverse Ray that will transform Dark Spyro into an egg. Of course, the bandicoots have to get him the required ingredients whether the doctor's attempt will work or not.
** If Spyro's comment during the next mission is any indication, Cortex has actually driven Dark Spyro off.

* 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, and N. Gin and Oxide use their own personalized vehicles).

* WolverinePublicity: Spyro doesn't actually appear during Season 3 in anything but images; running away side-by-side with Crash and Coco, and thanking the player for helping. His evil forms however; Dark Spyro, do show up.

* BadassFingerSnap: Oxide does this to summon his space craft. The moment is spoiled a little after he staggers into it after it nearly mows him down.

* 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 and gathering the ingredients to fuel the engine.

* QueerColors: Season 3 released six rainbow-themed skins in celebration of Pride Month, which the season took place during. The skin that most exemplifies this is Rainbow Coco, who sports the bisexual flag on her T-shirt alomg with having streaks of each color dyed into her hair.

* 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 roar of defiance... 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, and N. Gin uses his own mech).

** Mr. Crumb from the ''very'' obscure ''Crash Bandicoot 99X'' mobile game is also set to make an appearance. Also joining him is Thorn Thing, one of his minions from the same game.

* WolverinePublicity: Spyro doesn't actually appear during Season 3 (at least, not at the time of writing), despite being shown running away side-by-side with Crash and Coco. His evil forms however; Dark Spyro, does.

* EnemyMine: One of the missions during Season Three is hosted by Neo Cortex, who attempts to make a Reverse Ray that will transform Dark Spyro into an egg.
