In a box marked “Crash’s memories and collectables” are a trophy, a CD titled Wumptastic Mix Vol 2, a list of reminders and a “Crash 25 before 25” checklist. Notably, not every item on the list he has is visible, leading some fans to believe joining Smash is a possibility.
Though a bit of a reach, the “volume 2” on the CD could be connected to Fighters Pass Volume 2, of which are are only two fighters remaining.
Interestingly, in the second image there is an envelope-like object that somewhat resembles the invitations character get to join the game in Smash lore.

Users picked up on this immediately and began suspecting that this teaser was really for Smash Ultimate.
What makes this teaser quite peculiar is how it lines up with a supposedlyleaked “five year plan” that Activision had for Crashthat included getting him into Smash Ultimate by 2021.

Could Activision be pulling some sort of a meta joke referencing the leak with this teaser? Considering how close E3 is and all the rumors involving Smash lately, it’s looking increasingly likely that the Bandicoot may just be joining the roster.
Of course, nothing is confirmed just yet, but all eyes are on E3 as the possible reveal draws near.
