Part 1: Neo Cortex Saga - The Cortex Commandos Arc Ch. 12 Mafioso Galante, Part 1
After hearing Pinstripe's warning and entering Factory Island, Team Bandicoot's task is to deactivate the three power generators and defeat the three Mafioso guarding them, in order to face Pinstripe and proceed to the entrance of Cortex's Castle. With the closest Power Generator being at the Island's East side, the trio start traveling there. They would soon realize that just walking towards it won't be an easy task as they are ambushed by several of Pinstripe's Goons. With Crash's move set, Aku Aku's Mojo mastery and Coco's gadgets; they quickly defeat the goons with ease, saying how they weren't even a challenge. Pinstripe watching through his monitor figured things would go like that, several more minutes pass and he hears knocking on the door. He tells whoever is at the other end to proceed and the visitor is Cortex Commando #3 Tiny Tiger. Tiny asks Pinstripe what the situation with the intruders is, Pinstripe tells him that they are about to engage with the Mafioso guarding the East Power Generator; Galante. Pinstripe tells Tiny that he will help him guard the Godfather Tower after the Power Generators are shut down and the barrier is deactivated. Tiny tells him that he already got those exact orders from Tawna, Pinstripe smirks telling Tiny that the Commander knows him too well.
Team Bandicoot arrive at the East Power Generator, as they enter the building they are greeted by Galante, who introduces himself as one of three Pinstripe Potoroo's Elite Mafioso, with his nickname being; The Joker. Crash asks him why he got that nickname, Galante proceeds to show them by attacking them with several mechanically modified playing cards that explode on impact while laughing. Coco notices and tells Crash and Aku Aku to get down. Explosions go off as Team Bandicoot witness Galante's power, knowing well that he won't be a pushover. Galante tells them that the show has begun.
