'''Crates''', also known as '''Basic Crates'''<ref>''Crash Twinsanity'' manual, page 9.</ref> and '''Basic Wooden Crates''',<ref>''Crash Twinsanity'' Prima Official Guide, page 5.</ref> are objects featured in every [[Crash Bandicoot (franchise)|''Crash Bandicoot'' game]], starting with the first game, ''[[Crash Bandicoot (game)|Crash Bandicoot]]''. Crates are breakable objects featured in every level, and breaking a Crate releases one or a few [[Wumpa Fruit]]s. There are many different types of Crates, and [[Crash Bandicoot|Crash]] is required to break every one to receive either a [[Clear Gem]] or a [[Colored Gem]], depending on the game. They are also named '''Boxes''', and both names are used interchangeably throughout their appearances.
