N. Sanity Island=[[File:N. Sanity Island.jpg|thumb|200px]]<br>'''N. Sanity Island''' is the first and most recurring of the three islands, being the home of Crash Bandicoot and his companions (until ''Crash of the Titans'').
Much of the island is occupied by a large mountain located in the center. On the side of the mountain is a skull-shaped opening that expels a [[waterfall]] from its mouth. The resulting river passes through [[N. Sanity Beach]], where Crash Bandicoot's adventure began. Before the overthrow of Doctor Neo Cortex, the island was largely inhabited by the native called tribesmen (led by [[Papu Papu]]), who would capture and/or eat anything that sneaked into their territory. Their village is guarded by a tall wooden wall that completely surrounds the village. Also surrounding the village are numerous monoliths, which the tribesfolk seem to worship. Some of the native animals include skunks, monkeys, bears, wild boar, bees, seagulls, and chickens.
After Cortex's defeat, the island became the official home of Crash Bandicoot (until ''Crash of the Titans''), who lives in a medium-sized hut alongside [[Coco Bandicoot|Coco]], Aku Aku (the protector of the islands) and others. Their hut appears to be located between N. Sanity Beach and the jungle, as shown in ''[[Crash Twinsanity|fifth game]]''.

Wumpa Island=[[File:Wumpa Island.jpg|thumb|200px]]'''Wumpa Island''' is second island located between N. Sanity Island and Cortex Island, and is the least known island in the series. Not much is known about this island, except that is littered with dated ruins and contains a lava cave below it, where a mine was located in ''Crash Bandicoot''; it is unknown whether this mine still operates today. Also notable is the colossal tree located in the middle in which was the Uka Uka's lair and the tall waterfall that stems from a large tiki head where [[Ripper Roo]] was fought in first game.
Wumpa Island was originally to be included in ''[[Crash Twinsanity]]'', and would've played two major roles in the game. The first made use of the gigantic tree, where [[Nina Cortex]], Neo Cortex's niece, would use her abilities to swing and climb to the top of the tree (for reasons unknown). The second level would've also involved the ancient temples below, in which the [[Komodo Brothers]] built a racetrack, which Crash and Cortex would have to complete in a brakeless vehicle (in a parody of the video game ''[[wikipedia:Out Run|Out Run]]'').<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070109005040/http://crashmania.topcities.com/concepttwinsanity1.htm Deleted contents from ''Crash Twinsanity''] - Wayback Machine</ref>

Cortex Island=[[File:Cortex Island.jpg|thumb|200px]]'''Cortex Island''' is the third island which served as a location for the villains, for example: Uka Uka's prison and Neo Cortex's primary base of operations.
Shown in the ruins levels from [[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back|second game]] which that island was inhabited by primates only. Here was the Uka Uka's prison where his twin brother Aku Aku holds him in a temple built on a high mountain for his crimes against [[Earth|world]].
Eons later, this island served as a shelter for Cortex and N. Brio to hide from various forces where the pair is wanted.<ref>''Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex'' Official Strategy Guide, page 134</ref> The construction of Cortex's two facilities changed the island's environment where it was completely polluted by toxic waste refinery and patrolled by robots & mutants.
When [[Crash Bandicoot]] was created by Cortex in [[Crash Bandicoot (game)|first game]], this island was invaded by him where the Cortex's facilities were sabotaged and thugs defeated to save his girlfriend [[Tawna Bandicoot]]. One year later, this island served as housing for N. Brio and all flora begins to produce after the disarming of the harmful facilities in the first game. In [[Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped|third game]], once again this island is shown where a piece of [[Cortex Vortex]] spacestation goes towards it where destroys the Uka Uka's temple prison.

Not to be confused with Wumpa Island, the standalone island.

Wumpa Islands is a archipelago of three islands, N. Sanity Island, Wumpa Island, and Cortex Island, located at the Australian coast in the Crash Bandicoot series.[1] The Wumpa Islands are the homeworld to Aku Aku and Uka Uka, and they were formerly owned by Doctor Neo Cortex, before his first defeat to Crash. The archipelago is named after the Wumpa Fruit, a type of fruit commonly grown in the area. Wumpa Islands also features two distant islands, Iceberg Lab and the Academy of Evil.

History

Before the Wumpa Islands was a desert archipelago where Aku Aku has always protected eons ago.[2] But with the Neo Cortex's arrival, this archipelago was taken by same with N. Brio where his facilities is built in one of islands for start the Cortex Comandos.[1]

After that Crash Bandicoot was created, this archipelago became independent where which Cortex and his henchmen are defeated by same with Aku Aku tutelage.

Variations

An evil version of N. Sanity Island appears in Crash Twinsanity, in which Crash, Cortex and Nina travel to a mirror universe known as the Tenth Dimension. The Tenth Dimension version of N. Sanity Island is known as Twinsanity Island, and is the exact opposite of the normally-lively N. Sanity Island; the flora is all dead and a black hole-filled purple sky hangs over the entire island. Also notable is the opening on the side of the mountain: the waterfall now flows from a rock shaped like Evil Twins' heads rather than a skull. The island is the former home of Victor and Moritz, who resided in a large stronghold filled with dark, mechanical wonders. Because they were eaten by Evil Crash at the end of Crash Twinsanity, the future of this stronghold is unknown.
