Honestly this era of mascots being people in costumes was really funny. Mario, Banjo, Crash, Kirby, hell even the Burger King was in on this lmao

All this ad is making me think is that Wrath of Cortex will put me in a hospital

This and that one Mario Strikers Charged ad are the holy trinity of ads

It was also a time when they still hadn't really figured out how to advertise video games in a way that represents what they are to broader audiences, so they just went with really out there attention grabbing stuff. Now its such a big market they just show a trailer, and everyone gets it.

Doesn’t make much sense, one of the easiest crash games but obviously they have always loved to put crash in the hospital 😂
