Time Trial

thumb|300px|right|the slowest time trialTime Trial is a mode that was first introduced in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.

You try to race against the clock to the end of the level. There are time boxes spread around the level. If you break one of these the clock will freeze for a a period of time. The time the clock stays frozen is indicated on the box (one, two or three seconds). And you will get a diffirent relic based on your performance. There are three types of relics. Sapphire, Gold and Platinum. Time trial times vary from 18 seconds (Level 3: Orient Express, Platinum) to 3 minutes( wrath of cotex level 9 That Sinking Feeling, Sapphire). On some time trials you can achieve without the speed shoes, but on some other trials you can't get without them. Some times are easy to get, others are really, very hard to get. A good tactic is to wait until until you get the Crash Dash power, which makes getting the relics much easier.thumb|300px|right|the quickest time trial
