Green gem

The green gem is a rare type of gem in the Crash Bandicoot series. Like the other colored gems, this gem opens up secret areas once collected.

Crash Bandicoot
In this game, the green gem is obtained by breaking all the crates without losing a life in The Lost City (or Hog Wild in the Japanese release of the original game). It opens up the green gem paths in Jungle Rollers and Castle Machinery.

Crash Team Racing
The five colored gems from the latter two games appear in Crash Team Racing. There are five gem cups, one of each color, with the Green Gem Cup consisting of Roo's Tubes, Coco Park, Polar Pass, and Cortex Castle. The player must collect the four green CTR tokens to unlock the cup.

The gems awarded in Crash Bash are all green. Each minigame contains a green gem and it can be won by winning a harder version of this minigame. It takes 25 gems to unlock Keg Kaboom.

The green gem gets a different model, becoming more clear and round in the top (with a sharp bottom). It can be obtained by completing the death route in Wizards and Lizards. It opens up the green gem route in Cortex Vortex.

Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure
The green gem is located in Sunken City. It's located to the left of the start of the level, but to access it, Crash must hit an ! crate, which turns an outline crate into a TNT crate, and then backtrack to the green gem area. Acquiring this gem unlocks a green gem path at the end of Just Hangin'.
