Drain Bash

Drain Bash (ハテナな はこスロー lit. ? Box-throw in Japanese) is the nineteenth arena in Crash Bash, the fourth arena of the fourth warp room and the fourth Crate Crush arena. Instead of blocks, locked crates appear in this level. It is set in a setting similar to that of sewer levels of Crash Bandicoot 2. It is the only Crate Crush minigame that does not contain nitro crates.

For some players, it is easier to win the crystal challenge without opening any of the special crates.

Special Items

 * Locked Crate - The basic crates that are thrown or kicked to attack players.  These act exactly like blocks from other Crate Crush arenas.
 * TNT Crate - These crates have a larger blast radius than locked crates, and cause more health damage.  Also, they explode automatically after three seconds after being picked up, kicked, or jumped on.
 * Purple ? Crate - These crates either contain wumpa fruit or one of the three weapons described below: sonic ring, 8-way missile, or homing energy orb.  When they appear in the arena, four of them appear at once.  Three of these always contain a single wumpa fruit while the other contains a weapon.  When the crate containing the weapon is opened, the others in the arena disappear.
 * Sonic Ring: This forms a harmful sonic ring around the player for a second which can move crates around. 1 shot.
 * 8-Way Missile: Send missile in 8 directions. 2 shots.
 * Homing Energy Orb: Home in on other players and injure them. 3 shots.
 * Wumpa Fruit - Players can collect wumpa fruit to increase their health bar.  They do nothing if the player's health bar is already full.

Challenges

 * Trophy: Win 3 times
 * Gem: Win 1 round in 30 seconds (25 for 2p story).
 * Crystal: The player must be careful with how they open the special crates.  The player must throw them to open them.
 * Gold Relic: Win 2 times against the champions of the arena.
 * Platinum Relic: Win 3 times against the champions.

Trivia

 * A purple ? crate can also be thrown instead of kicked, leaving the contents up for grabs. However, if an item from a thrown ? crate, either a wumpa fruit or a weapon, is left untouched for five seconds, it disappears from the arena.
