Starting a series of my character Wishlist for Smash 6 since Ultimate is all wrapped up at this point.

Starting off with non other than Crash Bandicoot (& Coco)! My #1 most wanted character right next to Shadow (we'll save that for another time).

Crash fits right at home with a roster full of big gaming icons such as Mario, Solid Snake, Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, etc. He's appeared on every Nintendo console since The Game Boy Advance (except the 3DS & maybe the Wii U if you don't count Skylanders: Imaginators).

Having Crash going head-to-head with both Mario & Sonic in the same game would be phenomenal. It'll be the mid 90's console wars rematch (of a lifetime), but in Smash.

Not to mention his huge comeback in 2017. The N. Sane Trilogy was a huge success. Followed by CTR Nitro-Fueled (even overshadowed Team Sonic Racing), Crash 4: It's About Time, and now Crash: On the Run! Everything was going good, but not good enough to make it in as DLC in Smash Ultimate. At least maybe now Crash has a higher chance to appear in Smash 6 soon (Hopefully).

As for Coco Bandicoot, I'd love to see her as Crash's Echo Fighter (or costume swap is good as well).

Coco plays the same as Crash, but with different animations as seen in The Wrath of Cortex, The N. Sane Trilogy and Crash 4: It's About Time.

For designs I can see both Crash & Coco in their N. Sane Trilogy design since it's a more modern rendition of their first appearance respectively on PS1 (it's also their most iconic design). As for alts, I'd see their designs based on their appearance in Crash 4: It's About Time.

Since Ultimate first introduced Echo Fighters only to give us a very lackluster lineup (and only 2 are third-party), I feel Smash 6 could use more to add into the roster. And what better way than adding in Coco with Crash?
