A nitro switch crate in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.
The nitro switch crate is a type of crate that appears throughout the Crash Bandicoot series, usually near the end of a level. They appear as green-colored ! crates. When attacked, they cause all remaining nitro crates in the level to explode.
In Crash Twinsanity, they are equivalent to detonator crates. There are only two in the game.
In Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, nitro switch crates may appear in bonus rounds, destroying all nitro crates within the round only.
