Purple ? and ! Crate

'''The Purple ? and ! Crates''' appear only in Crash Bash. Purple ? crates appear only in Drain Bash. This crate can fly very long distances, because of its low weight. When it hits a player, they will do no damage except when the other player is holding a crate. Jumping on these crates does nothing. They must be kicked or thrown to release their contents. If the opponent is empty-handed and gets hit with a Purple ? Crate, nothing happens. When kicked or thrown onto another crate or the ground, either a Wumpa Fruit or a weapon will appear. These weapons are the Homing Energy Orbs, Eight Way Missiles, or Sonic Rings.

Purple ! crates are another type of crate exclusive to Crash Bash. It appears in all of the Pogo Pandemonium levels except for Pogo-A-Gogo. After landing on this crate, all the player's squares will turn into points.
