Crate Crush

''"In these Bash events, you will be tested for your ability to run, jump, throw, and battle it out with stone blocks, TNT and nitro crates. Are you prepared to be THE lone survivor?!" -Crash Bash''

Crate Crush is a style of minigames in the Crash Bash game. The main objective is to eliminate opponents or have more health than them in a minute and thirty seconds. Like the other types of bashes, there are four different arenas; Jungle Bash, Space Bash, Snow Bash, and Drain Bash.

Character Abilities
Crash Bandicoot/Coco Bandicoot- These characters have the best "kick", which is the spin move used in the past Crash games. They move the fastest of all characters. Their throwing abilites, however, are the worst of all of the characters, which balance both of the bandicoots out with the rest of the characters.

Dr.Cortex/Dr.N.Brio- These characters are a midrange, a medium quality "kick" and throw. Unlike Dingodile and Rilla Roo, however, these characters are geared more towards throwing. They are able to pick up, throw, and pick up again much faster than their stronger counterparts, but cannot move very fast.

Dingodile/Rilla Roo- These characters are midrange, a medium quality "kick" and throw. Unlike Cortex and Brio, however, these characters are geared more towards kicking. They are able to spin, similar to Crash and Coco, and move decently well. Their throwing, however, is very weak, slightly better than the throwing strength of Crash and Coco.

Koala Kong/Tiny Tiger- These characters have the best throwing strength. However, Their kicking abilities are weak, and they move the slowest of all of the characters.

Jungle Bash
Jungle Bash is the first Crate Crush arena and the 4th arena to beat in Adventure Mode. It is a basic level, with no special circumstances. In the Gem Challenge, the player/team has a limited amount of time to defeat their opponents. In the Crystal Challenge, the scene changes to night-time, and the idol with shoot Nitro crates at the players (these can, however, damage opponents as well).

Space Bash
This arena is in the futuristic theme. Players are atop a skyscraper but the floor isn't exactly indestructable as both TNT and Nitro crates destroy it. Falling in the cracks in the floor results in automatic death. In the Gem Challenge, you once again have a limited amount of time to defeat opponents. In the Crystal Challenge, the game has been changed to an Egyptian theme and you have to survive without being able to pick crates up and every crate is a TNT and Nitro. Crash and Coco particularly excel at this challenge. There are also some new power ups:

Aku Aku Mask: Makes you invincible from one attack but does not save you from falling

Purple Z: Makes you very slow leaving you vulnerable to attacks

Speedy Shoes: Makes you very fast normally, this would be a good thing but in an arena where the floor can be destroyed it's also dangerous.

500 Weight: Beeping will signal that the 500 weight is about to crush you (instant death) so give it to someone else quick.

Snow Bash
This is another Crate Crush. As the name says it is in the snow but there is a penguin (Penta Penguin) in the middle. That penguin is actully part of the game and once someone hits him he wakes up and goes on a rampage spinning around the arena smashing crates, causing explosions and injuring the players. The power ups are the same as Space Bash. The Gem Challenge is the same as always. For the Crystal, the arena changes to slightly different icy location and you have even more slippery shoes.

Drain Bash
This is in the sewers and is the last Crate Crush. Nitro crates are absent this time around as well as the previous power ups but replacing them are more powerful weapons in purple question mark boxes. In every set of 4 crates, three hold Wumpas and one holds a weapon. The stone blocks themselves have changed to locked crates. For the Crystal, you are in part of an old lab and you can't open the purple boxes by kicking them or you automatically die. Here are the weapons and how many shots you get:

Sonic Ring: This forms a harmful sonic ring around you for a few seconds which can also move crates around. 1 shot.

8-Way Missile: Sends eight missiles in all directions. 2 shots.

Homing Energy Orb: Homes in on other players and injures them. 3 shots.
