Seasons (On the Run!)

Seasons are a series of limited time post-launch events in Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!. Each season is based around a theme and runs for a number of weeks. It is currently unknown how many seasons there will be in the future.

Team Leaderboard
With each season, the online team leaderboard starts anew. Here, players work together in teams of up to 30 members to collect as many trophies as possible, with bigger prizes available the higher your team ends up. When the season comes to an end, players are given their prizes depending on where their team placed, and the leaderboard is reset for the next season with all players' trophy counts dropping to zero.

Pass
Introduced in The Return of Nitros Oxide, the Pass is a gauge that fills up the more trophies the player earns. There are 30 tiers in this gauge total, with prizes such as ingredients and Portal Weapons, survival run tickets, crystals, experience points and skins being awarded to the player when they reach a new tier.

There are two sets of prizes available - the Free Pass, which is available to all players, and the Bandicoot Pass, which costs a single payment of real money to access, giving higher amounts of resources and rarer skins. Players who have bought the Bandicoot Pass still receive the prizes from the Free Pass as well.

Missions
''See: Mission Board

Introduced in The Return of Nitros Oxide, Missions are tasks requiring the player to gather a certain number of items or craft a certain number of Portal Weapons. Completing these missions rewards the player with experience points and Mojo, which fills up a mojo gauge that awards the player with high amounts of trophies when certain milestones are reached. Be aware that handing in a mission will consume the items that you have collected for the mission.

Seasonal Bosses
Introduced in Running Outta Time, seasonal bosses are gangs that are made available to fight for a limited time. These gangs include bosses and henchmen that are exclusive to that specific season, with the boss being that season's host. These seasonal gangs yield much higher amounts of trophies than normal gangs.

Beta Phase
See: Beta Seasons

A few monthly seasons of 2 weeks were run during the beta phase of the game in order to test out the Team Leaderboards and Survival Run mode. Some had no rewards as the developers were still testing out how to attribute them to players. These seasons included:
 * Nina Cortex's Challenge (December 2020)
 * Dingodile's Challenge (January 2021)
 * Scorporilla's Challenge (March 2021)
 * Return of Nitros Oxide (test) (March 2021)

Launch Party!
