Crash Team Rumble: NEW Hero Potentially Discovered? Let's Investigate!

Crash Team Rumble is still quite the enigma, but through some interesting (and albeit a little dose of crazy) I think I potentially found a new playable character in the Crash Bandicoot Universe. Let's talk about it!

Even if it doesn't turn out to be true, this was a really fun episode to watch. It genuinely made me laugh numerous times.

[@venomous-prime]

I really hope we get new crash characters that can be bosses in future crash games

[@jessejive117]

You think it should be a first boss or more of a potential big baddy like Uka Uka, N. Tropy or N. Cortex? Or a henchman? Because I’d rather a new henchman or two. Not a lot of heroes. I like the villain count being much higher. But maybe some new heroes that aren’t just bandicoots could be cool…

[@bobafett4265]

I'm actually leaning towards seeing Yaya Panda showing up in the arena brawler personally at some point, she needs more love dang it.

[@josephbrown32]

​​@@bobafett4265 yes new characters in new games hopefully in CTR Nitro Fueled sequel. Long shot would be nice to create a character in future crash games.

[@bobafett4265]

It's possible the idea of a Birdman character with some Skateboarding Influences will show up, if again he's based on the Birdman himself Tony Hawk he could get a redesign of sorts from the concept stages for his design, maybe resemble an actual Hawk and heck just for the sake of it have him voiced by Tony Hawk, so a literal Hawkman that Skateboards and is based on Tony Hawk and is potentially voiced by Tony Hawk would be pretty wild, also it wouldn't be the first time Crash Bandicoot had a full blown reference to other franchises that Activision owns, they made a Guitar Hero Reference for N Gin's boss fight in Crash 4 so anything is possible and yeah CGE could be on to something here, as always great job CGE and crew, also Mel did a great job on the art there, love it.

[@fernandodavidpaezcontreras6586]

I actually think it would be pretty cool to see Tony Hawk in Crash Team Rumble. Especially since Crash could use both old and new characters.

[@Nonjola]

I saw the leak concept art of the game on Reddit. And I'm not sure if every single one of these characters will make it into the game, but, if so, we will get a bunch of new characters. And this is very questionable because the Crash series already has so many characters. Why did they even bother to reintroduce Original Tawna, Crunch, Nina, Chick & Stew, and many others for a new potential audience, just to drop them again?

[@sammalone7881]

I mean just because they throw in new characters it doesn't mean old characters will be excluded. Especially if the game will be updated over time.

[@Nonjola]

@@sammalone7881 They will update the game, but will probably focus mostly on new characters.

[@sammalone7881]

@@Nonjola Source?

[@Nonjola]

@@sammalone7881 Well, I just assume from the leaked concept art, that these will be the new characters they will focus on.

[@dreamfulman7796]

Honestly, I just want that vulture to be in the game regardless of what he represents. I love his design a lot.

[@jacksonlowercase4739]

when you started in tony hawk, i got a little scared i’m not gonna lie, but after seeing the bird man (literally, the bird-man), i kinda dig it!

[@TheKiwiDragon]

This is oddly timed considering I was reading up on Tony Hawk and Birdhouse earlier today after watching some Jackass stuff.

[@Zenlore6499]

I swear, if this ends up being true, I’m gonna laugh so hard! 😂 I got a little under a minute past the Tony Hawk in Crash Bandicoot image and yelled, “OH MY GOSH, BIRD MAN!” 🤣

[@gatewoodanimations9753]

If this actually happens, idk what would be crazier, the fact that you figured this out, or the fact that they subtly planned this from the beginning

[@dwaynewood2424]

If Tony Hawk's in the game, make him stylized so he can fit in with the rest of the game. Have him be on the same plane as Female N.Tropy or N. Tropy or Papu Papu. Multiversus did make the humans stylized so that they fit in with the antrhomorphic animals.

[@bobafett4265]

True that was the first thing I thought of as well, either way the idea of getting a Tony Hawk ish character either as man or Hawkman in CT Rumble would be a welcomed addition to the roster with his Skateboarding and Punk influences.

[@emeraldqueen1994]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL CGE!! 💚 you would THINK that Tony’s alter ego would be a hawk, not a vulture!

[@NPCarlsson]

Nice, good video. It's a far-fetched theory, to be sure, but it's still only that. A theory. I don't see why anyone's upset over a little fun speculation. The only thing in this video to be upset by is the way you pronounced "marsupials".

[@NPCarlsson]

@John Calder Why did you ask me that here, on someone else's video?

[@crashmikey4296]

I love the new render that artist gave to the skateboarder Vulture, i can imagine it challenging Spyro to a race.

[@Tinyrocket]

Fun fact: Out of curiosity, I just now looked up Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk together on Google and one of the first results was a video about a Tony Hawk game having Crash Bandicoot shirts. So if this conspiracy is true, then we gone full circle. Somewhat seeing that the bird is supposed to be a stand-in for Tony himself or something?

[@e-122psi3]

Tony....HAWK? That's actually a kinda clever idea (though I'd say the design looks more like a vulture). What interests me about that concept art though is that the one confirmed new character, CatBat, is nowhere to be found on it.

[@BlueSeaShark]

Your theory even makes sense to me. I'd love to see more characters as well, and that emo vulture and cat-bat look really cool as well, at least style-wise. lol maybe we'll even get that Snowman as a Skater, the one from the Christmas greeting card picture? ☺ Do you remember the Totally Tubular Skin from Coco in Crash Bandicoot 4? I think that Coco's skin also kinda fit's pretty well with Skateboarding. Also, don't forget that Spyro himself was advertised with a Skateboard in Spyro 3 (on the PS1 cover, at least on the European version) and even had a whole level with Skateboarding. Cool picture from Mel, by the way. 😎👍

[@carlfuhrmann1146]

There will be a lot of newer Crash Bandicoot characters as they did in the teaser from the picture behind Crash Bandicoot as a bunch of characters appeared in the background.

[@codygagecampbell4521]

Canadian guy eh is the Canadian matpat

[@jesusesparzashow8634]

We hoping Crash Team Rumble to be having more characters then ever like from Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled characters, and other Crash games are from to be in the Rumble, and with new characters, and even guest characters like Tony Hawk as you mentioned, Spyro and other Activision Blizzard characters can all be involved in Crash Team Rumble

[@danielivey562]

"Oh yeah. It's all coming together."

[@magmapagliaesopravvalutato6838]

I can see the logic hiding behind the madness

[@matthewrives1340]

This was a cool idea! I wouldn't mind "Bird Man," but I definitely want to see Rilla Roo come back

[@sevenmastergamer9261]

When you think about it, the other two wampa just serves to connect the three pictures even more, we have two fruit with a white ribbon and a tag, as if hinting at 2 guests from different things, it maybe confusing but theres no way this is just a simple coincidence

[@jamesgallagher100]

A skateboarding vulture as a hero?

[@dougtheghoul2845]

A new fun fact in Crash Team Rumble mentions a Condor. Tony Hawk/Bird Man for Crash Team Rumble confirmed.

[@dudeguy1894]

This might be your first theory that I have to disagree with. This is all based on the buttons on the snowman in the Tony Hawk post, but honestly it's really common to pair red and blue together in artwork. Once you think of that, everything after it kinda feels like just a coincidence. It would be really cool though, so if you're right I wouldn't complain at all!

[@CanadianGuyEh]

I genuinely do think it could mean something, but I completely understand if you disagree. This one is Out there lol

[@dudeguy1894]

@@CanadianGuyEh Although it does make me nostalgic of the times when people were saying things like "In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Eterna City's theme has the same background rhythm as Eterna City in Pokemon Colosseum, so they're clearly teasing Gen 3 remakes!!" These kinds of theories are just really fun, even if you don't take them seriously.

[@arnoldfranklin]

Hey, so that package with the mallot which was for Crash's 25th anniversary, it had a card that said, "and even met some friends who were way out of his league." Maybe that could be referring to something with characters? Idk

[@TheFreshcorn1]

If true, would legit main both him & Dingodile.

[@conneredwards7371]

Fascinating video. With the ability to add in completely new characters I wonder if this is meant to springboard us into the future of Crash Bandicoot (and with him, Spyro)

[@ChristianLakhan]

Can we just assume that this new character is inspired by Tony Hawk?

[@sonicthescrewdriver]

I'l be honest I thought you were off your rocker at first, but by the end of the video, I can at least see this theory as plausible.

[@mgproductions7221]

Does this directly implies that Tony Hawk would join the roster of Crash Team Rumble

[@KaiserAllen]

Honestly, I wish we could get all of the leaked characters in the poster. The more, the merrier! I hate that people gatekeep who gets in and who doesn’t.

[@riccardofacella9489]

Congratulations! You've unlocked the "Supreme Conspiracy" trophy.

[@hellobomb5167]

I really think that Tony Hawk is gonna voice this vulture

[@A-Nationverse]

This is really interesting CGE. My guess is that Toys for Bob has reached out to Tony Hawk to help them create a new base on Tony Hawk. It would be interesting to see how this new character works in Crash Team Rumble if this turn out to be true. Great episode of CGE Hints and Speculations.

[@TheGamingPez]

How did you make a bat shit crazy theory like this but it still somehow makes some sense? Very fun video as always CGE!!

[@CanadianGuyEh]

It's a talent, I swear 🤣🤣

[@crisisamonginfinitedarthsa4220]

Tony Hawk might be transported into the world of Crash and be mutated into a bird.

[@ArtisanAspirationWorks]

Imagine if a character gets announced on Twitter before CGE brings them up.

[@earthsteward70]

That bird is so gonna get rule 34d six ways from Sunday.

[@X2011racer]

Looks more like a villain. They seriously need to do an overview trailer or risk playercount dropping because nobody knows what to do with no tutorials whatsoever.

[@Woobuggy848]

He could've been a literal hawk instead of a vulture. In other words, I'll be shocked if this is all true.

[@gregzotter6189]

Wouldn't it make more sense to have him be...oh, I dunno, a Hawk?

[@jovialw8364]

I wouldn't mind new characters, but I honestly want characters from classic/past games to return to Rumble, Like Tiny, Ripper Roo, Polar, Pura & etc first before adding newcomers tbh.

[@MelancholyJoker19]

Bird Man would be a funny character to play as

[@kaoticchris1249]

Got halfway through the vid and though it was gonna be a dumb connection, was kinda right, but what was dumber was me watching the rest and failing to think of a better name for the vulture character that may or may not be a thing than vulture dude

[@timsheppard6204]

Speaking of characters are you gonna talk about who the Squid icon represents is it truly the Inkling from Splatoon

[@Frankilassic]

Gosh, I am confused about this. Plus, I’m proud of Mel for making that Concept.

[@SpyroJonathan]

Honestly, this all makes sense to me and I totally see where you're going with it! I can't wait to find out if you're right! :D

[@GhostPagliacci]

It should be a Hawk, so the character could be name as "Tony" and it's a Hawk :v i mean, COMMON!

[@mrgamerandfriends5793]

What if its a character thats literally called tony hawk and its a hawk that rides on a skateboard

[@mrgamerandfriends5793]

Im confused. It isnt Christmas so why are they posted happy holidy pics in march??

[@sammalone7881]

The whole skate boarding bird shtick reminds me of Jet the Hawk from Sonic Riders.

[@ドラゴンリュー-f1x]

It may be controversial, but I'm really happy that Crash has a new character with a unique personality!

[@mikeanzo1954]

My head hurts now.

[@firedupplayers]

Meanwhile... Still waiting for Spyro 4 😒

[@White-Kitsune]

What if its Spryo and he uses a Skateboard ? Maybe ...

[@Kaos_Element]

Mario has red and blue clothes. Sonic is blue with red shows. That means Mario and Sonic are also going be in the game.

[@rillaroo604]

I need tony hawk 3+4 remake :(

[@nathanrussell-raby5460]

Is it a Vulture or a Hawk?

[@iiicx]

I really want Nina to be a player able character

Tony Vulture

[@bandicootsauce4569]

Birdman of Crashcatraz. ...That was lame.

[@earlgrey830]

I don't like that they make random characters. They should make characters from Crash Bandicoot series.

[@spectradusker4305]

Urgh... Why can't they understand we want old characters to appear, and not new ones

[@TheDracoManGamer]

That certainly would've been interesting if Tony Hawk showed up as a bird that is a scavenger in CTRumble. Toys For Bob do need to create new characters anyways and its definitely nothing to be ashamed of to reference something in your own games
