Mine

Mines are hazards in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. They appear in the river levels where if Crash hits them he falls off the jet board and drowns unless he has an Aku Aku. Some of the mines move, making it harder for Crash to avoid them.

In Crash Bash, they are a special item found in all of the Tank Wars arenas, including the boss fight with the Komodo Brothers. A player can drop mines which will explode after a few seconds.
