Invisibility

Invisibility is used in Crash Team Racing, Crash Nitro Kart, and Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. In CTR, this is only used for battle mode. The aim in using Invisibility is to be not seen by opponents during a race and even Tracking Missiles, plus Red Eye Missiles and Homing Missiles, can't see you without indication of an opponent's target. However, just because you can't be seen doesn't mean you cannot be hit. In CTR, the juiced up part is the normal way and lasting a little longer than expected. In CNK, this is used greatly for stealing flags and sneak attacks, but only used for battle mode and stays invisible for the player a little longer. Also, you will see a shadow of yourself and no one in the arena, even Emperor Velo, will be able to see you or your own arrow.

In The Wrath of Cortex, the crates can be seen and broken on the levels Fahrenheit Frenzy and Weathering Heights. When Crash is invisible, you are protected and untouchable by the rays. It will only last for a few seconds.
