The document provides descriptions of sounds from the game Crash Bandicoot– Twinsanity that establish setting, mood, game genre, and narrative. For the Hawaiian daytime setting, studio recording was used for the background music and voices singing. When the mood became intense, sound effects were used for a laser gun and a character's deep voice. The game genre uses studio recorded, lively happy music. Finally, the narrative uses script and voices to tell a confusing story.
