Trivia

• The reason that Crash can't jump on Papu Papu from the front in Crash Bandicoot is because he'll bounce off Papu Papu's jiggly belly and take damage. Papu Papu's girth and appetite has earned him much admiration and respect from his peers. In Crash Twinsanity, Papu Papu can be seen performing a belly wave for his fellow tribesmen who applauded in approval.
  • Papu Papu's name, when translated from his native language, means "Pass the dish again, mate". Referencing his big appetite.
