The basic crate, often referred to as simply "crates", is a type of crate seen throughout the Crash Bandicoot series. These crates usually contain one or a few Wumpa Fruit, depending on the game. Any attack can break them.
In Crash Tag Team Racing, they are seen containing Wumpa Coins. They often appear in stacks in this game. In Crash of the Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant, they contain mojo instead, and come in varying sizes; Crash can break small crates on his own, but a titan is needed for larger ones.
