Crash: Mind over Mutant is a Beat 'em Up/platformer hybrid, developed by Radical Entertainment for the Crash Bandicoot series, released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo Wii in fall 2008. The title is Radical's final game with the series (as well as the final original game in the series until 2020's Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time). It is a direct sequel to Crash of the Titans.Retaining many aspects of Titans' gameplay, it generally leans a lot more towards a platformer, with combat being made less relentless and frequent. The game abandons levels for a "free-romping" world where the player can enter areas of the game's world by exiting others, giving the player more freedom than in Titans. The game also brought about many small improvements. The player can now pocket a Titan or alternate between two different Titans and even upgrade Titans, and they were also given abilities such as jumping and ledge climbing for use in platforming. The game also gets rid of the previous game's life system and adds Coco Bandicoot as a playable character...for Xbox 360 and Wii only.The game takes place one year after Titans and is centered around a device built by Neo Cortex and the newly-rekindled Dr. Nitrus Brio called the NV, which later gets shipped to Wumpa Island for free. Crash and co. soon receive a package containing a few. Everyone on Wumpa Island except for Crash and Aku Aku (who can't use them) like it...until an addiction sets in and makes them all become crazy. After the discovery that this is yet another plot of Cortex's to take over the world, Crash must set his friends free from the NVs' control and take the scientist on again.Like with Titans, a Nintendo DS alternate version was released. This one was a bit...different, one could say.

Brainwashed and Crazy: Crash has to knock some sense into Coco and Crunch due to the NV subjecting them to this. In fact, all titans you fight happen to be this. Surprisingly, even those that serve Cortex don't seem to wear NVs in the Art Shift cutscenes.

comment
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Light case. Brendan O'Brien's Brio of the original games had a high pitched New Yorker accent, littered with stutters and manic giggling. Maurice LaMarche instead voices Brio using an Orson Welles imitation, which is still an American voice, but one that sounds radically different from the original.

Freeze-Frame Bonus

comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: As an NPC, Crunch is constantly holding an opened magazine. If the point where the bandicoots receive the NVs hasn't been reached yet and he gets hit by Crash, his reaction animation will position the magazine for a moment at the right angle to see that he's looking at a picture of Coco. The start of "Abuse, Misuse, Recycle" has a split-second shot of Crash portrayed with a war bonnet. Given the cutscene's subject humor of "evil" recycling, the reference intended there is obvious.

 Crash: Mind Over Mutant (Video Game) / int_8a07e085
comment
Denser and Wackier: Compared to Titans, which took itself seriously to a degree and was clear with what its stakes were, the story of Mind over Mutant doesn't take itself anywhere near as seriously despite the plot being yet another "take over the world" scheme by the villains. The cutscenes exemplifies this by being in different art styles and trying to cram in as many jokes as they can either through Slapstick or dialogue.

Overrated and Underleveled
 Crash: Mind Over Mutant (Video Game) / int_9b8e2257
comment
Overrated and Underleveled: Downplayed with Titan Heroes. They are true to their presentation, having slightly higher base damage and improved specials (usually having greater AoE or longer use time), but by the time you meet them their regular mook counterparts are likely to be just as strong, if not stronger, thanks to mojo upgrades. Hero Grimly might as well be a straight example, because it's that easy to upgrade the regular one while navigating through Mount Grimly. It's possible to casually provide Grimly with four out of five upgrades on your first pass, and by that time the Hero version falls behind it in terms of both damage and slowdown period.

Promoted to Playable: As an alternative to Carbon Crash, the second player can also control Coco — although you can't do this in the PS2 and PSP version. Minor variation, but Crunch and Cortex's bosses involve you "jacking" and controlling them as you do the Titans. For Crunch in particular, this is his only fully playable role in the series thus far.

It Makes Sense in Context: Some parts of the story don't quite make sense unless you've played the main console version first, and even then their usage seems misplaced here.

Non-Standard Character Design: The Psycho Mandrake. In a game filled with powerful, muscled enemy mutants, it really stands out by being a humanoid mutated flower Titan with no face. Then there's the Chimera...

Fan Disservice: Don't stare into the dancing lights, lest you want to see Cortex and N. Brio in their underwear doing suggestive poses. Coco has one of her most attractive looks in this game, comprising of a tight t-shirt and a nice pair of jeans, while her midriff's shown. Which she keeps when she's nightmarishly mutated for a bit.

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: The Titans have all formed their own societies after the villains' defeat in the previous game. The ones you have to fight are really just controlled by the NVs.

Lighter and Softer: Generally more cartoony and lighthearted than Titans, but it does have its share of dark moments. Some of the Titans also have more cartoony designs.

Divergent Character Evolution: Coco actually inverts this, as she is mostly just Crash with new animations and voice clips. Also an odd example in that it makes her play better than in previous games, where she was mostly a watered-down Crash limited to a few levels. The Stench in the previous game was a palette swap of the Snipe. Here it has been given a spacesuit and a raygun.

comment
No Endor Holocaust: After Crash rescues Uka Uka, he mentions that Cortex has already sent N Vs to different parts of the world. Given what happened to Coco, Crunch and other mutants after they wore them, your reaction is likely "Oh, no!" Not until you enter Space Head and hear Cortex say that the worldwide activation is expected in "two Earth hours". You're more likely to beat the final boss earlier than that. Plus, Paris is shown briefly, with no sign of anyone under mind control.

Mix-and-Match Critters: The Chimera, an unholy amalgamation of various Titan enemies with a lion head, bull horns and a cybernetic torso, is the final boss in this version. There's no context for it, either, although considering how little sense the story makes here, it really doesn't matter much.

Comically Missing the Point: After finally detaching his helmet, Crunch changes back and thanks Crash. Crash, however, doesn't seem to take it in and continues trying to beat Crunch into submission. This might be due to earlier where when Aku Aku told Crunch to take it off and he refused due to enjoying a monkey video too much.
