Hell yeah, I love CTR. If I made a similar list, CTR / Nitro-Fueled would definitely be on it (with my boy Dingodile as the character).
I also played way too much Crash Bash as a kid, so I have a soft spot for it. It was one of the few video games my sister actually liked, so we played together a lot. I liked the battle levels where you throw crates at each other, and she liked the pogo levels. Not a whole lot of depth to them, but they were fun!
