Crash Bandicoot/Items

Wumpa fruits Collect 100 of them to get an extra life.

Boxes Spread across the levels you will find many boxes, which you will have to break with a jump or a twist to collect the contents. By breaking all the boxes in a level (except of course the indestructible ones) you will eventually get a gem. There are the following types of boxes:


 * Common boxes: Contains a single Wumpa fruit.
 * Elastic boxes: By repeatedly jumping on these boxes, you will get a Wumpa Fruit with each jump until they break. Hitting them with a twist will get you nothing.
 * (?) boxes: The contents of these boxes are unknown.
 * Crash boxes: Contain an extra life.
 * Aku Aku boxes: These boxes contain a mask of the sorcerer Aku Aku, who will follow you and protect you once from an enemy attack. Collecting two will give you double protection and with the third mask you will become invincible for a short period of time.
 * TNT boxes: Jumping on these boxes will activate a 3 second timer, after which the box explodes. So move quickly. Hitting it with a twist, the box explodes instantly.
 * C boxes (checkpoint): when you lose a life, you will restart the level from the last C box reached.
 * Metal boxes: They are indestructible.
 * Jumping boxes: By jumping on the boxes marked with an arrow, you can jump higher. You can only destroy them with a twist.
 * Metal jumping boxes: like the previous ones, but they are indestructible.
 * (!) Boxes: By hitting these metal boxes, something inside the level will change. Their effect can be temporary or permanent. They usually make new boxes appear that were previously invisible.

Tawna tokens By collecting all three pieces within a level, you will be teleported to a bonus level of Tawna. They are very easy to pass levels, where you can earn wumpa fruits and extra lives. At the end of the bonus level you can save the game or get a password.

N. Brio tokens Collecting all three pieces will teleport you to a bonus level of Nitrus Brio. Like in Tawna's, here you can get extra lives, save your game or get a password. However, they have a darker setting and are more difficult to overcome.

Cortex tokens Collecting all three pieces will teleport to a bonus level of Cortex. There are only 2 in the game. These are very difficult levels to pass, at the end of which you will get a key to access a secret level.
