Crash: Mojo Mania

Crash: Mojo Mania is a party game where Crash and his friends must compete in a series of mini-games in order to win a mojo tournament. It was released on 25 October 2010 for the Nintendo DS and Wii in Europe, North America and Canada. The developer was TOSE Software, taking over from Radical Entertainment, but the publisher continued to be Activision. In addition, the Wii version of the game has cutscenes. It was the sequel to Crash Bandicoot: Clones Himself Racing and the predecessor to Crash Bandicoot Skateboarding.

Gameplay

The game has two modes; adventure mode and replay mode. Adventure mode allows the user to play along with the story while replay mode allows the user to play that level as many times as he or she wants. With adventure mode it is not possible to play the same level after it has been completed while with replay mode it is.

Adventure mode plays much like its predecessor, Crash Boom Bang; the user rolls the dice and the character moves that many steps. The square that the character lands on could either lead to a sanction (i.e. mojo taken away), reward (i.e. mojo awarded), or the next level in the game. The game is completed once the user completes all levels in the game with first place.

Replay mode allows the user to play that level at any time he or she wishes, and combine that level with up to two other levels to play a tournament.

Mojo is used as the main currency for this game, and can be used to buy new characters and levels to play in replay mode. Other collectible items include "crystal balls" which puts an advantage on a player over the other and Aku Aku / Uka Uka masks (depending on character) which protects him or her from losing mojo.
