Key features in Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant, as noted by Sierra Entertainment:
- Mutant in your Pocket! : Not only does Crash gain the ability to control his enemies when he jacks them – now he can store his favorite monsters in his pocket, upgrade them and utilize their powers when they are most advantageous.
- “Free-Romping” World Design : Wumpa Island becomes a “free-romping” environment, allowing players to travel and explore through intersecting worlds, with different gameplay options available depending on what creature you've brought along for the ride.
- Girl Power! : Your co-op partner is Crash’s sister, Coco, playable for the first time in the cooperative mode. Not only does Coco make the game that much more inviting for girls to pick up and play, she also brings with her a new tactile “treasure hunt” ability.

New Abilities include:
- Roll and Counter Combat System : Crash will have a fun, agile dodge move and “counter” move which will inflict extra damage on his enemies.
- Digging : Crash can now dig underground as real-life bandicoots really do; this will allow for Crash to unlock bonus items.
- Climbing : Crash can climb vertical surfaces and jump side-to-side to connected areas and dodge hazards.

this is sad Written by Guest on 2009-05-04 04:52:42     oh how the mighty have fallen, the once great Crash Bandicoot has been turned into this! just because of these two most recent games i will never play another crash game in my life, Sierra, i hope you feel good about yourselves, first you ruined spyro, and now youve ruined crash, thanks alot

The New Crash Written by Guest on 2009-05-08 18:19:15 The old Crash's were my favorite starting from the first one. These ones are ok but have nothing to do with the first. The evolvo ray I get, but uka uka masks look like gay monkey things. Besides that, Crash is supposed to fight monsters himself useing his awesome self, instead now he "Jacks" mutants?! lol, wow, Crash has fallen I agree...btw, why's he like 2ft shorter and has wierd tribal marks?!     Still love his "Look of Brilliance" though.
