Ripper Roo Is a character from the Crash Bandicoot series created by Naughty Dog for the Playstation 1 In 1996.

Ripper Roo Is a blue furred kangaroo mutant In a straitjacket and nothing else, he Is typically shown with yellow eyes with red spirals and black pupils however there were times when his eyes looked different such as In twinsanity when he had white eyes with red spirals and no pupils and In his most recent appearance just yellow eyes with black pupils no spirals

He was a failed experiment by series antagonist Dr. Neo Cortex In creating a mutant animal army, he Is totally Insane at least In the first game where you battle him by timing his predetermined jump patterns over a series of 9 small platforms on top of a body of water to explosions from large TNT crates that fall from the waterfall In the background, repeat for 2 more cycles

In the secret 100% ending to the game, Its stated that he went to Intensive therapy and became a doctor as well as a published author

In his next appearance, Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back he Is that games first boss taking place In the same arena as last time only fancied up with a desk, bookshelves and a singular large platform rather than 9 smaller ones wherein he bounces around on his walking cane transforming bits of the arena Into TNT crates that will set off by themselves causing him to fall back Into his Insanity (now with luscious blonde locks) and then jump around some more only this time turning bits of the arena Into Nitro crates Instead where they cause him to become dizzy where you'll the be able to strike him, repeat for 2 more cycles

He did not make It back for the third Installment and Instead made his next appearance and first playable debut In Naughty Dogs final Crash game: Crash Team Racing where he Is once more that games first boss fight needing to race against him on the track Roo's Tubes where after beating him he gives you a key to the next area as well as the ability to select him on the character select screen for normal races

After this however he fell by the wayside and was relegated to mere cameo appearances If that, his next appearance In the following title Crash Bash saw him being nothing more than a stage hazard for one mini game and then he appeared only In cutscenes In Twinsanity where the ship for him and Dingodile most likely originated

It wouldn't be until the N. Sane trilogy and Nitro Fueled remakes of the original games where he would be back In some kind of spotlight but once more being forgotten having only a reference In the short lived Mobile game Crash on the Run where Crash had a cosmetic based on him turning his fur blue, shaving his head, putting him In a straitjacket (with his arms still free obviously) and making him totally bottomless down to the shoe

He was planned to be a mini boss In the next big game Crash Bandicoot 4 It's About Time but was cut seemingly last minute and replaced with a new character Louis who appears to be a sea monster of some kind who was never seen before nor after, the evidence of Ripper Roo's boss fight being a cut remix of his original boss fight, concept art as well as a full model which can still be seen In the game near the end of the Mardi Gras stage on the final rail grind section bouncing on the rooftops In the background, the model being all but complete with the only thing missing being his pupils

But In the next game after that, Crash Team Rumble he would make his true first playable debut as a unique character with his own moveset and not a cosmetic In racing games, he was the first "new" character to be added after the games release having his own quest line giving him unique cosmetics and such where you had to unlock him by collecting marbles that would spawn randomly within matches, he would reuse his model from Crash 4 which was updated to give him pupils but no spirals where he Is classed as a blocker, he has the highest jump In the game, attacks by getting up on his tail and kicking with both feet and getting up on a bomb to roll around at a great speed where It will either explode after a while or be thrown to become a projectile
