'''Gems''' are | '''Gems''' are one of the main collectible items in the ''[[Crash Bandicoot (series)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' series. They first appear in the first game, ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]''. In most of their appearances, gems have a role in the game's story, so their purpose is different for each game. In nearly every platform game, [[Crash Bandicoot|Crash]] can obtain a level's gem by breaking every [[Crate]] in that level.

In ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back]]'', the gems are used as a power source for [[Dr. Nitrus Brio]]'s laser to prevent [[Dr. Neo Cortex]] from obtaining them.

However, it has been replaced by "death platforms" (platforms with a skull) that are only accessible by not losing a life. They also unlock "gem platforms" that also have a clear gem a the end. | In ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back]]'', the gems are used as a power source for [[Dr. Nitrus Brio]]'s laser to prevent [[Dr. Neo Cortex]] from obtaining them.
