Wumpa Fruit

Wumpa Fruit is Crash's favorite food and a common object of all Crash Bandicoot games. Collecting 100 wumpa fruit will give Crash an extra life (Platformers from Crash Bandicoot to Twinsanity). In Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage, instead Crash has infinite lives and certain amounts of wumpa fruit is needed to access some levels and buy trading cards. Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart uses wumpa fruit to 'Juice Up' the weapons for players pick up throughout a race or during a battle arena. In Crash of the Titans, they are used to replenish health also in Crash of the Titans, there is a golden wumpa fruit that gives the player another life. They are obtained when the player sacrifices a titan to a large mojo sphere. During Doctor N. Gin's boss fight in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash launches wumpa fruit at N.Gin's Mech to damage it. If Crash spins Wumpa Fruit they will fly away, but if Crash slides wumpa fruit he will collect it as normal. In Crash Bash, they were used in Crate Crush and Tank Wars for restoring health. wumpa fruits are often mistaken for apples by fans

Trivia

 * In Crash Bandicoot, if you happen to leave Crash standing for too long, Crash will hit himself with a Wumpa Fruit, revealing purple juice. However, this has been retconned from Crash Tag Team Racing onward, with the juice being yellow instead.
 * Crash Tag Team Racing is the only game not to have any Wumpa Fruit, unless you count Willie Wumpa Cheeks as one.
