Crash 1
First scan submitted by CrashRatchetFan. My trip to Seattle was identical in most ways.
Second scan submitted by Lars E. Mou: «Take a long break from Crash Bandicoot when you feel like you're gonna crush everything around you.» (translated from Danish)
Third scan submitted by Danyel: I wonder what this fabled CD was.

Crash 2
First scan submitted by Lars E. Mou: «If you act like Crash Bandicoot, you risk going to the school psychologist.» (translated from Danish)
Second scan submitted by Dingodile555. I guess they were trying to appeal to a whole new crowd with that one...

Scan
Crash 3
Submitted by CrashRatchetFan. To promote the heavy use of vehicles in the game, Crash is portrayed as a daredevil. The ladies just can't resist that charming charisma and orange fur.

Crash Team Racing
No road rage here, no sir. Submitted by Crashratchetfan.

The Wrath of Cortex (last two scans submitted by Keiji Dragon)
The first ad is kind of cool, or it would be if it weren't for the excessive replacement of words by the number 2. Yes, we get it, it's on the PlayStation 2.
The second ad is promoting the Xbox release of the game. It's pretty boring and re-uses a Crash 2 render.
The third and fourth scans were submitted by Keiji Dragon. They're just stupid enough to be funny.
The fifth and sixth scans were submitted by Dingodile555. Crash seems to have a history with body-building.

XS
The first scan is an obvious parody of detergent advertisements.
The second and third ones shrink down our favourite guy-in-Crash-suit to promote the portable aspect of the game, as well as its dumb plot (submitted by Crashratchetfan).

The Wrath of Cortex / XS
Now this one's just plain wrong. It's like they wanted Crash to seem like a console... friend, for lack of more appropriate terms. You have to wonder what they were thinking when they came up with this.

N-Tranced
The first scan promotes the multiplayer features of the game. That must have been a very limited edition.
The second scan was submitted by Crashratchetfan. Classy!

Crash Nitro Kart
Japanese scans submitted by Danyel. The second one features a removed character, the giant bikini girl. I might have made that up.

Twinsanity
There were a lot of TV ads for Twinsanity promoted by two of the guys from MTV's Jackass. They usually involved the two of them trying to imitate Crash and Cortex's cartoony antics, but in the end, it wasn't all that funny. I also think the spanking was advertised a little too much everywhere.

Crash of the Titans
Not much to say about these. The first scan is a two-page advertisement, with art traced off of character models so that it looks like a painting. The second scan is just the cover art for the game.

Mind Over Mutant
The image in this scan is recycled from the back of the boxart.

Skateboarding Trick Contest
Crash gets both festive and sportive in this Italian event held at Milano, on the 11th of October 2008. Contestants brought their skateboards and participated in freestyle trick runs, both to show off their moves and also to have a chance at winning a brand new Xbox 360, a copy of Mind Over Mutant and a Crash t-shirt.
