How to unlock Tawna, Catbat, and other characters in Crash Team Rumble

In Crash Team Rumble, every character has distinct objectives and is categorized into three types: Scorers, Blockers, and Boosters. The objective is for two teams to compete in collecting Wumpa Fruits and the one that successfully accumulates a sufficient amount in the Wumpa Bank emerges as the winner.

Winning heavily relies on strategic gameplay, where the selection of characters plays a crucial role. Each possesses its own set of unique skills and abilities that can greatly assist players in achieving victory.

Only Crash, Coco, and Dingodile are available as playable characters at the start of the game. However, the remaining five can be unlocked by earning Badges by completing various objectives, which include scoring Wumpa, capturing gems, and defending goals.

The best characters to unlock first in Crash Team Rumble

Crash Team Rumble necessitates strategic gameplay, where choosing Blockers/Defenders increases your chances of winning. Characters in this category play the role of preventing the enemy from scoring by knocking them off their Bank (A place to store Wumpa). Dingodile is a member of this category and provides significant advantages in terms of defense. Additionally, the character utilizes a Vacuum to gather Wumpa.

Therefore, it is recommended to focus on unlocking characters from the Blocker category, such as Dr. N. Brio and Dr. N. Tropy. While unlocking the former only requires completing a few matches and obtaining six Badges, unlocking the latter is the most challenging. Unlike other characters that require six or 15 Badges, Dr. N. Tropy demands 50, which is quite a challenging task.
