Crash Bandicoot is one of the most famous video game franchises and one of my favorites since childhood. As someone born in the nineties, I first encountered the original trilogy and its kart racing game, released for the first PlayStation, and spent countless hours playing, trying to collect all the crates and gems, discovering secret areas and levels, and so on.
