Aku Aku Crate

Aku Aku Crates are crates that give the player an extra hit point. If the player gets hit after getting this crate it will have no effect other than he/she will lose their Aku Aku. If the player gets two it will have the same effect except this time they will get two extra hit points. Getting three will give the player temporary invincibility (apart from falling down a hole). After the invincibilty runs out, the player will go back to having two extra hitpoints. An iron version is used in Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage.

In Crash Twinsanity, Uka Uka comes out of Aku Aku crates when playing as Neo Cortex or Nina. They work the same as the Aku Aku crates.

Levels without Aku Aku Crates are generally harder levels than levels with Aku Aku Crates.

In certain levels, such as Lights Out, from Crash Bandicoot 1, Aku Aku is semitransparent, white, and illuminates the surrounding area near Crash in the level.
