Which character of the two is your favorite? Do you wanna see both return in a new game? Tell me in the comments and let's discuss!

He could have been Crash's equivalent to Knuckles.

I still think that if they wanted to make a funny haha Tyson parody in Titans, they could've just used Koala Kong, who had very little, if any, established personality in the games.

While Tiny wasn't in Mind Over Mutant physically, he had a short little voice line in the Credits, trying to correct Crunch on a phrase, which was essentially Chris Williams talking to himself.

I find it a shame Crunch never got used to his proper potential, especially since it REALLY felt like they shoehorned him as turning good last second in Wrath of Cortex just so the hero team had this neat character on the table.

I truthfully find Crunch a more fitting and endearing 'tough' character for the bandicoots than Alt Tawna. The super boisterous Mr T/Hulk Hogan type heel-turned-face with some cyborg attachments for good measure? A lot to work with in a cartoony game series.

Also I'm gonna say this about Titans Tiny, he would have worked just fine if he was a different character, or even just a rework of one that didn't have an established personality yet like say, Koala Kong.

I have a silly headcanon that Titans Tiny wasn't even Tiny at all, but rather his second cousin three times removed. I call him Teeny.

Looking at Tiny first, he was easily a favourite of mine from the rogue's gallery, I'm still shocked Toys For Bob didn't even plan to add him to Team Rumble considering he had a move set already there with his claws and trident from Warped.
For Crunch, he's more tragic in the sense that he had everything needed to be a good supporting character but the lack of interest from developers resulted in him being so redundant that they might as well have not bothered including him.

If they were to come back, I'd say lean into a rivalry between the two. One wants to be strong to make others respect him (Tiny), the other wants to be strong to help those who can't (Crunch). Add in Crunch having the Elementals powers again and give Tiny his army from Nitro Kart's Team Cortex ending and you have a potentially fun scenario.

I like the idea of crunch, with crash needing to face off against the very thing that he was supposed to be. But if they ever do bring back crunch, he should be brainwashed this time, not mind control (and yes there's a different) so he can question why he hates crash. So when crunch joins the main heroes, he'll struggle to be a reformed villain, as he still has an angry demeanor, often picking fights with people, leaving it to crash and coco to help guide him to the right direction.

Man seeing the Concept Arts from Crash 5 is painful. But I have a lot of hope that they will be Realized..Eventually. Great video

Crunch Bandicoot (Voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson)
Tiny Tiger (Voiced by John DiMaggio)

I really think that Crunch Bandicoot will return as a playable character in a mainline Crash game. His move set could be different from Crash’s and Coco’s gameplay. Crunch’s could be like Wario where he can charge and break big crates that Crash and Coco couldn’t do. Crunch can also lift heavy objects and it to defeat enemies or use it to find secret routes in a level. As for Tiny, I think he’ll come back as a boss character, but his boss fight should a little bit challenging but at the same time, not frustrating. I really don’t know if that going to be present in future games. I was wondering how Toys For Bob would have their take on Crunch Bandicoot, but since they went as an indie studio, I wonder which developer is going to make the next game. In my opinion, I think that Iron Galaxy will make the next Crash Bandicoot game and I could see Iron Galaxy’s take on Crunch Bandicoot.

When I saw and learned about tiny tiger was supposed to be in Crash bandicoot 5 but has been cancelled i was like
NOOOOOO!!!!! I never get to see my boy tiny tiger in that universe

But look at the bright side at least that concept art of tiny in the money pit is very rare and looks really awesome though

But for now we will have to wait what happens in the future

Crash should have introduced many more characters that expanded the world beyond Naughty Dog's legacy, like Crunch. There could have been many more unique antagonistic organizations besides Cortex Commando, and the problem of having too few heroes could have been solved.

Ctrnf had the best designs and art style for almost everything. I wish we could see a return of that.

It's such a shame that Crash Team Rumble was abandoned before they could reintroduce these characters. Especially in Crunch's case. Tiny could just show up and everyone would know who he was, but because we're now in this new alternate era where Wrath of Cortex didn't happen, to bring back Crunch now would mean having to rewrite his origin.
Whereas if they just dropped him into Rumble, a game with no story, I feel like it wouldn't really matter if he then reappeared in a new Crash game without explanation after that. Same kind of deal with Nina if they ever want to bring her back.

Thry could've been rivals like Coco and N gin kinda were before Nina became Coco's rival

1:21 Hmmm, I think Crunch suits more as the Knuckles to Crash's Sonic.

I really love Tiny, one of my favorite Crash characters and I did like Crunch. I hope they allow him to return.

Yeah these two were done dirty

2:27 broooo outcast bandicoot holy throwback

I swear when they make a crash 5 and introduce a completely new bandicoot instead of crunch. Imma crash the fuck out. Like there’s no way they are this terrified of the post naughtydog era.
