Game over screen

Game Over screens appear when the player dies with the life count currently on 0. Though it doesn't actually mean the game is over and must be restarted from the beginning, it usually means players could quit and return to the title screen or continue and return to the warp room with the life count resetting to its base number, 4.

Crash Bandicoot
The words "GAME OVER" appear similar to how the word "CRASH" does in the start menu. A ticking noise is heard followed by the sound of an explosion and the words pop towards the screen and then fall back (as if an explosion happened behind them). Crash is then seen running from the left to the right side of the screen with Cortex chasing him (the same animation from the first cutscene when Crash escapes).

Selecting Yes on the Continue? prompt will make the player return to the last save point with a total of 4 lives. Selecting No returns to the title screen.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Cortex's head appears and says "Game Over" before laughing evilly.

Selecting Yes will make Cortex say "Play again, Crash" and disappear. Crash then returns to the warp room with 4 lives. Selecting No will make Cortex say "I guess you didn't have what it takes, Crash" and disappear. The player is then returned to the title screen.

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
Uka Uka appears with Cortex's head hidden behind him. It is similar to their Time Twister message except the vortex is dark orange instead of blue. Uka Uka says "GAME OVER!".

Selecting Yes will make Uka Uka say "When will you ever learn? You miserable bandicoots!" and both Uka Uka and Cortex disappear. Crash returns to the game with 4 lives. Selecting No will make Uka Uka move out of the way revealing Cortex's head, Cortex then says "Goodbye for now". They both disappear and the player is returned to the title screen.
