“These boxes may cause something in the background to change.” Crash Bandicoot
! Crates usually turn the
outline crates into other types of crates, often
iron crates , creating a bridge that allows the player to cross gaps, and regular crates containing
wumpa fruit . Occasionally, they have other purposes, such as in
The Lab , where they activate doors and platforms. They don't count toward the box count because they are indestructible.
There are many variants of the ! crate. In many games, there is a green variant, which is the nitro switch crate , used to detonate all nitro crates in a level. In Crash Nitro Kart wooden variant which activates traps after being broken. In Crash Bash purple variant found in many Pogo Pandemonium mini-games that turn a player's squares into points. They are also blue in the mobile version of Crash Twinsanity
