Steel Crate

Not to be confused with the Iron Crate.

Locked Crate Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped — A Locked Crate in *Crash Bandicoot: Warped*.

The Steel Crate is a crate with special protection that can only be broken by belly flopping. In the Crash Bandicoot games for the Game Boy Advance, they are also broken by explosive crates, and are also completely empty. They can also be broken by a TNT's explosion in Crash Bandicoot: Warped, but only if it is activated early by despawning them. In Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, they can be broken by super sliding, in addition to the belly flop. In Crash Bash, they are found only in the Drain Bash mini-game, where they replace blocks and deal less damage. In Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, the steel crates can also be broken by Quantum Mask Akano's Dark Matter Spin ability.
