Dr. Neo Cortex and his minions have been jettisoned into deep space. Meanwhile, Uka Uka - the evil twin mask of the kindly Aku Aku - and Dr. N. Tropy are devising a master plan for world domination. N. Tropy, the master of time and space, peers into the future for the answer and sees that their goal cannot be achieved without the help of one Crash Bandicoot, his sister Coco, and the super bandicoot, Crunch -- and it just so happens that N. Tropy knows someone who can make this happen. In his travels through space and time, N. Tropy has come across a being from the fifth dimension who is the master of hypnotism - the diabolical N. Trance! Together they hatch a plan to use N. Trance's powers to brainwash Crash and the gang, and make them do their evil bidding. The nefarious duo manage to capture Coco and Crunch, and N. Trance brainwashes them to aid in their plan. Now its up to Crash to rescue his friends and thwart Uka Uka, N. Tropy, and N. Trance's plans for world domination.
