Timeline

The timeline is a basic rundown of when various events in the Crash Bandicoot series have occured, although more specifically Magmortar75's version of the timeline. The timeline is composed of seven main games.

Main Timeline - Magmortar Version
This is the timeline frequently referred to on this Wiki
 * Crash Bandicoot - The beginning of the main series. Many characters in the series were established into their current forms before or during the events of this game.
 * Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - Takes place one year after the first title.
 * Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - Shattered Crystalis mentions that this game takes place one year after Cortex Strikes Back. There hasn't been a lot of evidence when it comes to how long Warped takes place after Cortex Strikes Back in the canonical series, but much of the events that lead into Warped's story imply the gap isn't long.
 * Crash Team Racing - Takes place sometime during the first year between Warped and The Wrath of Cortex. While not nodded to a lot, most of the other games as well as Shattered Crystalis do point to CTR being a mainline game, namely a trophy appearing in Crash's house and a few other nods to the story.
 * Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex - Takes place two years after Warped. Many things in Shattered Crystalis and other games in the series have pointed to CTR having happened before this game, but the amount of time hasn't been specified yet.
 * Crash Twinsanity - Takes place three years after The Wrath of Cortex, something that is directly mentioned as the game does mention The Wrath of Cortex's ending. Marks a small time skip; probably most notable through this being the first mainline game with Coco being a teenager.
 * Crash Bandicoot: The Shattered Crystalis - Takes place three years after Twinsanity; the very beginning of TSC takes place almost immediately after the ending of Twinsanity and explains many of the things that happen in between the two games. The game itself takes place over the course of an entire year.

So in short, the year timelime can be summed up as this: Year 0 of the series serves as Crash 1, year 1 as Crash 2, year 2 as Crash 3, CTR is in between years 2 and 4, The Wrath of Cortex is year 4, Twinsanity is year 7, The Shattered Crystalis's actual game plot is year 10 and ends on year 11.

Main Timeline - Canonical Version
The canoncial timeline is identical to Magmortar's timeline, with the main differences being: This continuity is sometimes referred to as an alternate continuity of events in the Magmortar continuity; most notably in some of the ending stages of The Shattered Crystalis' plot. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF.
 * The amount of time between Warped and Wrath of Cortex isn't specific, nor is the time between Cortex Strikes Back and Warped.
 * Crash of the Titans takes place an unspecified amount of time after Twinsanity.
 * Crash: Mind Over Mutant takes place a year after Titans.
