Desert Fox is the ninth level in Crash Bash, the fifth stage, in the second warp room, and the first Tank Wars arena. The objective is to destroy the opponent's tanks without being destroyed as well. Should the 90 second time limit expire and more than one player remains, then the one with the most health wins. There are four different types of tank, each with their own strengths.
- Crash and Coco use fruit cannons. These rounds are the most balanced of the four.
- Cortex's and N. Brio's tanks shoot blasts of green energy. These rounds move much faster than any other, but do less damage
- Tiny and Koala Kong fire large spiky cannonballs. These rounds move slower than any other, but do much more damage.
- Rilla Roo and Dingodile use small fireballs. These rounds do less damage than any other, but can fire an extra round.
Whenever a tank fires a shot, it cannot fire again until the shot either hits a target or expires after five seconds. The exception is that Rilla Roo and Dingodile can fire two shots at once.
The name of this level is a reference to the senior German Army officer Erwin Rommel, known as the Desert Fox in World War II.
Desert Fox is the only minigame in Crash Bash that doesn't change its background for its Crystal Challenge. Instead, it turns one of the blocks of the maze into a pool, where a submarine tries to bombard the player from the water.
Special Items[]
