I love how in the whole Crash Bandicoot fanbase, Yaya Panda passed from being an obscure character that just exists to a so beloved fan favorite character in one single day. I gotta say: Beenox did a marvelous job with the character, she’s the apotheosis of cuteness, yet so hyperactive, confident and lover of Speed. Like Rainbow Dash! Only… cuter. I love her. She’s definitely the highlight of the Grand Prix for me. Also, in my headcanon she’s Coco’s best friend. I can just picture the two being besties. Come one and fight me.
Hasty isn’t bad either, and despite my skepticism over Chick and Stew, their dialogues in races are fucking hilarious.
I wish they putted this much of effort in Rilla Roo as well, but instead they made him…. just like he was in Crash Bash, and that’s not really a good thing considering that in that game was lacking of any character trait, bit to mention: he doesn’t even talk. So the whole time all we hear from him is “UHUHUHUHUHUHUUHUHUHUHU”. Pretty disappointing….
