๐๐ค๐IMPORTANT๐๐ค๐ Please DO NOT false report this image as it DOESN'T violate any rules, it is MEANT for showing actual official proof that Coco Bandicoot and Yaya Panda are not under age 12 *Such as elementary school age child characters where to the point they're young enough to be biological daughters of Crash, Tawna, Crunch, Nitro Squad, and other mutants* but actually canonical age ranging between teens and college age despite no physical age revealed, but still not younger than 13 nor older than college age either. ๐๐ค๐IMPORTANT๐๐ค๐
Here are what others think when I had conversations with them: = sammychan816 AKA Sammydgator84 says Coco and Yaya don't look anything from being kids as she considered them teenagers, she even has others agreeing with her too: where she said: "dcaldwell101 said they looked like they're either 13 or 16. Sasori274 agrees with me. thieviusracoonus doesn't see them as underage either. And Animeria, she's with me as well." *Oh, what I meant by "underage" is under age 12, like elementary school age*
And I replied: "Cool, that's what they're designed to look like despite no physical age revealed, they're mostly likely canonically teens to early in college age, and I headcanon they're currently between late teens and early 20's since Crash Mind Over Mutant because of how many years go by canonically and chronologically, but still they're canonically younger than Crash himself while he and Pasadena O'Possum look younger than the other mutant characters, mainly because Mind Over Mutant is set 5 years after the first game." = Also Chloethemetalartist4 said about Coco and Yaya *Along with Nina* in age range in my pic of Human Coco on DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/chelseakittygirl/art/Human-C...
Chloethemetalartist4: in my opinion.coco is like late high school to college age along with Nina an the other panda girl
Me: Her name is Yaya Panda, so yeah, I also think the same way too.
"Okay, so let see, it's hard to say her official age. Because she was originally is the replacement for Tawna (which nowadays no longer the case as she did appear in Crash 4 from an alternative universe, but in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled that's the Tawna that everyone remembers from the first game so she's not much a replacement anymore) because at the time Universal was the ones that made the decision to replaceing Tawna for I guess Japanese Audience. But again I do recommend looking up a video about it on Censored Gaming YouTube Channel on that topic. But the reason Coco was in Crash 2 was due to Tawna being too anthropomorphic which in a way not appropriate for a kids game at the time."
"Okay, I might not have the awnser on whereabouts on Coco's official age, but from what I looked up on a little bit of sites saying around 24 but I don't think that can't be the age or not, considering that the series has been recon the whole series in favor for Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy and continued with Crash Bandicoot It's About Time which that's the new Canon to where the series is heading since Activision were the ones to reboot the Crash Bandicoot Series' Universe, but that doesn't mean that all of one's from earlier games from 2008 aren't forgotten since other characters from other games within the series do appear in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, but Crunch does sorta make a small Easter egg in Crash 4. But I did found Yaya's age at least, so knowing Coco should be around her 20's somewhere."
So here's what I said about it: As for 20's, I say Coco and Yaya should at least be currently 21 as of Skylanders: Imaginators, where I believe is set 8 years after the first Crash Bandicoot game for Playstation.
I still consider Crash Bandicoot games released 1996-2010 are still canon *Even Aku Aku mentioned the events of Crash Twinsanity in Skylanders: Imaginators *Still NOT a full Crash Bandicoot title* where he said to Dr. Cortex "After what happened in the Twinsanity Islands, you chose to disrupt the Great Synchronization Celebration!?*, it's just that Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled are remakes of the first 4 Crash Bandicoot games on PS1, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is canonically set after Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped *A few months later in prime dimension but 22 years later in the interdimensional prison in the distant past Cortex, N. Tropy, and Uka Uka are in* *Developers meant this game is set before Crash Team Racing onwards, yet we need a proper Crash 5 first*, meanwhile Crash on the Run is likely set after the Crash Bandicoot games released from 1996-2010.

Due to what I looked up about Coco in canon age range evidence in various games and media *Including the Crash Bandicoot Kattobi Spin World Manga*, like how she is a prodigy, and how she is in a trope about tinkerer/machinist/hacker girls that are ranging from cute little girls to beautiful young women *Including teenagers*, Coco Bandicoot and Yaya Panda are 100% likely to be between teenagers and college age despite no physical age revealed *Due to how many years go by in the series chronologically*, but NOT too younger than 13 nor too older than college age either while they are likely the same age, but they are still canonically younger than Crash and Pasadena, who seem to be a teensy weensy bit younger than the Nitro Squad, who seem to be a teensy weensy bit younger than the other mutant characters as well.
It's just that anthropomorphic characters ages 13+ and even 18+ tend to be this short in height, especially in cartoons and cartoon themed franchises, like Sonic the Hedgehog, Spyro/Skylanders, Samurai Pizza Cats, Eto Rangers, Klonoa, Freedom Planet, Banjo Kazooie, Conker, etc.
Even height differences in anthropomorphic characters exist in certain franchises, like cartoons and cartoon themed franchises, Skylanders for example, where Tuff Luck of the Trap Team is taller than Splat of the SuperChargers and Cali, the Swap Force Skylanders are taller than the Core Skylanders, but shorter than most of the Trap Masters and most Sensei Skylanders. Pasadena O'Possum is taller than Crash, Coco, and Yaya, but shorter than Tawna and the Nitro Squad.
So that I headcanon Coco and Yaya are currently at least college age since Crash Mind Over Mutant.
As for shipping, while I headcanon the Cortex Commando Mutants in their 20's due to not having physical ages revealed even though they're clearly designed to be older *NOT seniors/elders*, I ship Coco X Dingodile and Yaya X Komodo Moe, in my story set after Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 but before Crash on the Run, 18 year old Yaya and 24 year old Moe began their relationship, at some point after Crash on the Run *Set after Crash Bandicoot games released 1996-2010*, but before Skylanders: Imaginators *NOT a full Crash Bandicoot title* Coco and Dingodile began a relationship.
Yes I headcanon Dingodile and Komodo Moe being 6 years older than Coco and Yaya, but what about the others? How can you explain these? โฌ๏ธ In Crash Bandicoot Kattobi Spin World Manga series *Set in a different continuity than the games*, a few stories show Tiny Tiger having a crush on Coco herself, as one of the proofs she wasn't under 12, but likely between teens and college age. - From Sailor Moon: About Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba *In the first Anime's Optimum Dub they're called Serena and Darian*
