Character Differences
Crash Bandicoot/Coco Bandicoot- These characters have the best "kick", which is the spin move used in past Crash games. They move the fastest of all characters, retaining the same speed as in the past platformer games. Their throwing abilites, however, are the worst of all of the characters, which balance both of the bandicoots out with the rest of the characters.

'''Dr. Neo Cortex/Dr. N. Brio'''- These characters are a midrange, a medium quality "kick" and throw. Unlike Dingodile and Rilla Roo, however, these characters are geared more towards throwing. They are able to pick up, throw, and pick up again much faster than their stronger counterparts, but cannot move very fast.

Dingodile/Rilla Roo- These characters are midrange, a medium quality "kick" and throw. Unlike Cortex and Brio, however, these characters are geared more towards kicking. They are able to spin, similar to Crash and Coco, and move decently well. Their throwing, however, is very weak, slightly better than the throwing strength of Crash and Coco.

Koala Kong/Tiny the Tiger- These characters have the best throwing strength. They move the slowest of all of the characters. Their kicking abilities are the worst of all of the characters, and they move very slowly.

Jungle Bash
This Crate Crush is a simple one just beat up your enemies in the jungle as this is really the intro to these games. For the crystal challenge you have to avoid the idol spitting out Nitro Crates in the background.

Space Bash
Now this a fun one. This is in the future and the players are atop a skyscraper but the floor isn't exactly indestructable as both TNT and Nitro destroy it. In the crystal challenge you have to survive without being able to pick crates up and every crate is a TNT and Nitro. There are also some new power ups:

Aku Aku Mask: Makes you invincible from one attack but does not save you from falling

Purple Z: Makes you very slow leaving you vulnerable to attacks

Speedy Shoes: Makes you very fast normally, this would be a good thing but in an arena where the floor can be destroyed it's also dangerous

500 Weight: Beeping will signal that the 500 weight is about to crush you so give it to someone else quick.

Snow Bash
This is another crazy Crate Crush. As the name says it is in the snow but why is there a penguin (Penta Penguin) in the middle? That penguin is actully part of the game and once someone hits him he wakes up and goes on a rampage spinning around the arena smashing crates, causing explosions and injuring the players. The power ups are the same as Space Bash. For the Crystal you have even slippery shoes.

Drain Bash
This is in the sewers and is sadly the last Crate Crush. Nitro crates are absent this time around aswell as the previous power ups but replacing them are more powerful weapons in purple question mark boxes the main crates themself have changed to locked crates. For the crystal you can't open the purple boxes by kicking them. Here are the weapons and how many shots you get:

Sonic Ring: This forms a harmful sonic ring around you for a few seconds which can also move crates around. 1 shot.

8-Way Missile: Sends eight missiles in all directions. 2 shots.

Homing Energy Orb: Homes in on other players and injures them. 3 shots.
