Spiders, referred to as Crawlies in the manual, appear as enemies in one of the game's four areas, the Catacombs. They are defeated by being spun or jumped on.
Crash Team Racing[]
They appear in the Cortex Castle race track as obstacles in Crash Team Racing. When they are descending from the ceiling in this game, their shadow can be seen, which gives the racers a heads up when they are dropping. In Crash Team Racing they can be defeated by some items like bombs, or missiles.

Spiders appear as enemies in the first level of the game, Rude Awakening. They hang from the ceiling in the ruins areas, and drop down on web strands to attack Crash/Coco if they stay under them for too long. Green venom drips from their fangs, leaving a small puddle of it on the ground beneath them. They can be defeated by jumping and spinning at them, or simply avoided.
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run![]
In On the Run!, there are two distinct varieties of spider. The first is a white spider with blue markings, which crawls along the floor in a straight line towards the player and can be defeated with a spin, slide or bodyslam. The second is a black spider with red markings, which hangs down from the ceiling on a web. These spiders cannot be defeated with normal attacks, but they can be blown up by detonating TNT or Nitro crates. One variety of gem challenge involves destroying every spider in a level.
