Nitro Crate

Nitro Crates are powerful crates seen in the Crash Bandicoot series.

These explosive crates are extremely sensitive and should not be touched under most conditions unless supplied with invincibility. In Crash of the Titans for the DS they appear with only an "N" on them. To destroy them at the end of a level you must press the Nitro Switch. It is similar to that of the TNT Crate except it does does not count down from three to one before exploding.

In Crash Bandicoot 2 the Nitro crates occasionally jump in the air to make passing them more difficult. They also are used in the boss battle against Ripper Roo.

In&nbsp Crash Team Racing they are one of the weapons available of as an upgraded TNT Crate for racers with max 10 Wumpa fruit. As usual if it is hit it explodes. Any racer can get them at any time, also Komodo Joe and Nitros Oxide use them in boss challenges. They are much more common if you are leading the race.

In Crash Bash they appear in Crate Crush levels as well as the Crystal challenge for El Pogo Loco.
