Gex's trademark James Bond outfit
Costumes are what Gex occasionally wears when he visits a level in Gex: Enter The Gecko and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. They each come in certain varieties and some even have unique abilities that only that costume can give Gex in that world.
Appearances[]
Enter the Gecko[]
The costumes make their big debut in this game, but are only used for aesthetic purposes, with only two exceptions. Most were only located in specific levels. Gex wore, in no particular order:
