A ? crate from Crash Bandicoot 2
? Crate is a type of crate in the
Crash Bandicoot series, usually containing big amounts of
wumpa fruit (or, occasionally, a
1-up or an
Aku Aku mask, the latter mainly in the
GBA series). Like other crates, it can be be destroyed by spinning, sliding though, belly flopping, or jumping on them. In
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped , certain ? crates are programmed so that if the player dies many times in a certain segment of the level, it will turn into a
checkpoint crate or
mask crate which will stay there forever if the game is saved. They appear in
Crash Team Racing ,
Crash Nitro Kart , and the
Nitro Fueled remaster of
Crash Team Racing holding items and in
Crash Bash as
purple holding special items in particular minigames. In
Crash of the Titans for the
Nintendo DS they appear in large and small sizes and the larger crates can only be broken by using jacked enemies.
