Akano is the Quantum Mask of Dark Matter. Using his power, Crash and Coco can perform a spin similar to the Death Tornado Spin, however, unlike the Death Tornado Spin, the spin lasts until the power is turned off again, and can be used to glide from platform to platform, break Locked Crates and knock back certain colored projectiles. While doing the 'Dark Matter Spin', Crash and Coco move automatically, making the player have very little control while moving.
