Character Bio

ORIGIN: Aku Aku is the spirit of an ancient witch doctor. He has great faith in Crash, thus always supplying him with masks that represent him to help protect the bandicoot.

ROLE IN CRASH BANDICOOT:

Crash meets up with Aku Aku after freeing him from a box with his face on it. The witch doctor spirit then scatters his own masks around the islands to aid in Crash's journey. After he collects three Aku Aku masks, Crash is given the power of invincibility for a short while, allowing him to run unimpeded through enemies, boxes and obstacles. During the "Lights Out" and "Fumbling in the Darkness" levels, Aku Aku illuminates the path for a few moments before returning the area to darkness. Should Crash wish to keep the lights going, he needs to keep finding Aku Aku boxes. During these levels, Aku Aku passes up his standard wooden appearance to become transparent.
