Due to not owning a PS4 nor Xbox One, I watched an entire walkthrough of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, so I made these headcanons to share, I arranged them chronologically:
Crash Bandicoot's Flashback Tapes took place as a prequel to the first Crash Bandicoot game, while Coco's tapes took place as both the prequel and midquel to the first game as well.
After Coco's last Flashback Tape where she was going to make her escape, she was caught by Lab Assistants before she was given intelligence through the Vortex by Dr. Cortex and N. Brio, before tricking them in thinking she's a failure by acting stupid, locking her into the dungeons to meet Yaya Panda, Pasadena O'Possum, Isabella, Liz, Ami, Megumi, Farmer Ernest, Chick Gizzard Lips, and Stew, and later made their escape from Cortex Castle to find Crash Bandicoot.
*Inspired by Zerbear333's Coco Bandicoot Origin fan comic*
22 years later only occurs to Cortex, N. Tropy, and Uka Uka when they were banished to the past, which the former two were aged back to their original ages in a fast rate. Back in Crash's world, only a few months have passed.
Upon learning Cortex and N. Tropy returned, N. Gin convince N. Brio to join them into their inter-dimentional domination, at first Brio refused because Cortex fired him and later got revenge on him, but later changed his mind decided to join in. Meanwhile N. Gin and N. Brio were unable to contact the mutant henchmen to join them.
Around the time of Dingodile's retirement and owning a dinar, Tiny, Ripper Roo *Who owns a Curious Cabinet of Curiosity*, Kong, Pinstripe, Moe & Joe lived their own lives too during Cortex's absence.
Coco's quote when she and Crash met Tawna from another universe for the first time saying "Wait Tawna? But you're... Different!", she almost said that Tawna from the main universe was dating Pinstripe, which is why they lost touch with her. Plus I don't want the main universe Tawna killed off, because it would ruin the series since she is alive in the games that took place after Crash 4 such as Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled *Remake of Crash Team Racing with Nitro Kart content*, a deleted scene from Crash Twinsanity where she was dating Dingodile, and Crash Boom Bang.
Nitros Oxide's ex-wife is named Tossica, here is more information about her as well as what she looks like:

In this particular scene from the 106% ending of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, N. Brio in pterodactyl form is just trapped in display in Ripper Roo's Curious Cabinet of Curiosity, because killing him off would ruin the series because this chronologically took place before CTR *In CTRNF he's still alive* because in Crash Bash onwards, like Twinsanity and CMOM, and Crash on the Run, he's still alive.

After Dingo's Dinar kept getting closed several times due to unsanitary food Dingodile cooks, Dingodile would later serve normal foods at the dinar.
This particular shot from the 106% ending of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time actually took place after the events of Crash on the Run, all because after Cortex was defeated by Crash and Coco, he got banished into another world by the Quantum Masks, also Nina won't appear until Crash Twinsanity chronologically 3 years later.

And a little bonus, I hope the future follow-up to Crash 4 *Which will be highly likely due to the secret ending* has Tiny Tiger, Ripper Roo, Koala Kong, Pinstripe Potoroo, and the Komodo Brothers rather than cameos AND an ending that leads to Crash Team Racing.
Also because there was confirmation that all Crash Bandicoot games are canon:
