After having killed Gex, Crash Bandicoot began developing dementia. Sure, he was financially secure since it was Sonic who was the one who put out the hit but Crash wasn't prepared to live with the guilt associated with the deed he was paid to commit. Crash began taking on side-kicks and the like to draw attention away from his slowly deteriorating mental state. Crash hasn't been seen in about 2 years and it is feared he has passed away.
He isn't dead, he's hiding. Waiting. He will rise again after he is nearly forgotten, when we have long given up hope for him.
When rumours swirl that he is attempting a return, his fans will ignite a frenzy. Chaos will suddenly rule the gaming news industry.
And at last, when he steps back into the light after years of hiding away, he will take a bold step... and stumble, fall, and break his neck. It will be so pathetic that even Sonic will laugh. And *that* will be the end of Crash.
