Nitro Switch Crate

A Nitro Switch Crate is a type of crate that appears in the Crash Bandicoot series. They appear as green-colored ! Crates, and show up only once per level. When attacked, they destroy all the remaining Nitro Crates in the level. They are needed for box completion due to the need to destroy the Nitro Crates. In levels that feature Nitro Crates but not a Nitro Switch Crate, the player must destroy each of them manually, usually by knocking an enemy into one, detonating a nearby TNT Crate or using Crash's Bazooka. They are normally found at the end of levels.

In Crash Twinsanity they are initially replaced by Detonator Crates, but one Nitro Switch Crate can be found in Cavern Catastrophe. In this game it turned into the shape of a Nitro Crate before exploding the crates.
