what are the masks called in crash bandicoot
List of Crash Bandicoot characters Aku Aku is the guardian of the Wumpa Islands and the father figure of Crash Bandicoot and his friends. Aku Aku is the spirit of an ancient witch doctor encased in a floating, wooden mask. During Crash's missions to stop Doctor Cortex, he scattered copies of himself throughout the travels in an effort to aid him in his mission.[1] Whenever Crash possesses an Aku Aku mask, he will be shielded from one enemy attack or contact. Collecting three Aku Aku masks gives Crash temporary invulnerability from all minor dangers, but does not protect from falling down holes.[2] In his English speaking appearances, he was voiced by Mel Winkler up to Crash Twinsanity, excluding Crash Bash where he is voiced by Sherman Howard, and Greg Eagles from Crash of the Titans onwards.
