There was a stupid rumor that Coco Bandicoot is a fake character. They said that because she was a just a replacement of Tawna because Tawna was showing too much sex appeal in a rated E game, Crash Bandicoot. Coco was going to be removed from the series after her first appearence in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, but Naughty Dog had a lot of fanletters saying Coco is cool and should stay in the Crash Bandicoot Universe. And that's what they did. Who ever spread that stupid rumor, I'll kick his or her fat butt!
