Crash Dash (Crash Bash)

Crash Dash is a minigame genre in Crash Bash. In it, you take control of a hovercraft similar to Oxide's one (Although in Splash Dash they ride various sea creatures) and race around a circular arena ten times. There are four Crash Dash minigames: Dot Dash, Toxic Dash, Splash Dash and Dante's Dash. Crash Dash is often considered one of the hardest minigame genres as many players have difficulty with it.

The player has an energy gauge under their mug. By holding, the player accelerates and when they bump into another player while accelerating, they will get pushed away. Missiles also make an appearance in Crash Dash. When a player is hit by one of these, they will get pushed away, similar as to how they do when they get hit by an accelerating opponent.

In battle and tournament modes, the Crash Dash minigames are not available from the beginning, and can be unlocked when a player unlocks them in adventure mode.

Dot Dash
This is a classic Crash Dash level without obstacles. There are Wumpa Fruit scattered in the circuit. Picking Wumpa Fruit the indicator becomes green and if you hold square button you go faster. There are also missiles and if you hit a player by one of these, the player is pushed away, like when they get hit by an accelerating opponent.

Toxic Dash
In this level level there are some poisounous barrels in the edge of the circuit and if you hit one of them you are pushed away. Sometimes a slime monster appears at the center of the circuit and leave three little slime monster. If you hit one of them you are pushed away. There are also red stars and if you use it nearby players are away from you.

Dante's Dash
This is a normal level like Dot Dash. The only difference is that there is a volcano in the center. Sometimes the volcano erupts and leave sketches of lava in the circuit. If you hit one of them you are pushed away.

Splash Dash
This a particular Crash Dash level. In fact, you use sea creatures to race. Crash and Coco ride a pink dolphin; Cortex and Brio ride a robot fish; Tiny and Koala Kong ride a killer whale; Dingodile and Rilla Roo ride a blue swordfish. Sometimes at the center of the arena sticks turn in casual mode.
