Starting today, players can take eight heroes and villains for a spin across nine epic arenas full of dangers, ledges, explosive crates, and tons of fun. Launch characters include Crash Bandicoot®, Coco, Tawna, Dingodile, Neo Cortex, N. Tropy, N. Brio, and the brand-new character to the Crash universe – Catbat.
