seriously, all of the crash games after woc are in another dimension, maybe twinsanity isn't
oh and why the hell does uka uka magically come back after crash bash, that game was defiently in another dimension

This is the storyline Ratchet.

Main Chronology
Crash Bandicoot -> Crash Bandicoot 2 -> Crash Bandicoot 3 -> CTR -> The Wrath of Cortex -> -> Twinsanity

Out of Canon
Vicarious Visions games
XS/The Huge Adventure -> N-Tranced -> Crash Nitro Kart -> Fusion/Purple

Others* (none of these continue to or from any games)
Crash Bash / Crash Tag Team Racing / Crash: Boom, Bang!

*The status of these games may change in the future.

Explanations:

- CTR is the only spin-off game that can be placed in-between the main storyline so far, as it introduces a recurring villain into the series (Nitros Oxide). Theoretically, if Oxide hadn't come back in the subsequent games, CTR would have gained standalone status, like Crash Tag Team Racing. CTR isn't a main adventure of the series, but it is still canon. It happens somewhere between Crash 3 and The WoC.

- Crash Bash isn't considered canon because neither of its endings are possible, as the next games would confirm.

- XS starts a separate storyline which is generally not considered part of the main chronology. It continues from no other game, but it gives continuation to N-Tranced. Crash Nitro Kart follows, and then Fusion (although the latter two don't have any direct continuations). This storyline could be placed as an alternative after The Wrath of Cortex, but to do so, it would have to ignore every other game that came out after that one (this means that Fusion can be an alternate introduction game for Nina Cortex).
The main reason why this storyline isn't canon is because Twinsanity continues right where The Wrath of Cortex left off. There are also some questions as to how Crunch was absent in XS, and then suddenly appeared in N-Tranced, but it's a fixable plot-hole, as Crunch could have just been in some separate place from Crash and the others.

- Both Crash Tag Team Racing and Crash: Boom, Bang! are standalone adventures, as they not only don't continue from any game, but they also don't do anything to affect the storyline (in other words, if these games didn't exist, nothing would have been altered). However, this is prone to be changed if the characters introduced in these games re-appear in the future, or if references to these events are made. It is a likely case for Crash Tag Team Racing, but not so much for Crash: Boom, Bang!.
Crash Bash could also become canon if the same change was to happen to it, but then it would mess up the main chronology and some things wouldn't make sense anymore.

I hate Boom Bang because Crash's girlfriend Tawna dumped him for Pinstripe. Well, this game isn't in the crash storyline so I might as well get over it.
Oh Rexy, I just asked was it Crash Boom Bang because you said this: unlike a certain other Crash party game on the DS... >.>]
I was just trying to sound sarcastic when I mentioned Elite Beat Agents (which I hope to get for my birthday). Don't worry about it, I just felt a bit silly.

Ok I get it. :*bleep*in:
