Crystal



Crystals are the items that Crash collects to stop Cortex. Crystals are collected by finishing a level (except boss levels and levels numbered higher than 25). Usually, you need to collect 25 crystals, although it's 21 or 142 in Crash Tag Team Racing (21 Crystals are the minimum needed to complete the game, while 142 Crystals are need to get 100%). Since Crash Twinsanity, they've been called Power Crystals.

Crystals have appeared in almost all games. The only ones where they don't appear are Crash Bandicoot and the console version of Crash of the Titans.
