'''Relics''' are recurring items in the ''[[Crash Bandicoot (series)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' series, and they first appear in ''[[Crash Bandicoot: Warped]]''. Relics are usually rewarded by beating a [[Time Trial]] record within a level or other area. A stage's Time Trial can be unlocked by completing it the first time. There are three types of relics, ranked lowest to highest: sapphire, gold, and platinum. The relic that is rewarded depends on the completion time. Obtaining the relics is required to [[completion|complete]] the game.

==Appearances==
Relics have a consistent role and purpose in the main platformer games. Besides ''Crash Bandicoot: Warped'', Relics also appear in three other platformers: ''[[Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex]]'', ''[[Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure]]'', and ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced]]''. After completing a level the first time, [[Crash Bandicoot|Crash]] can retry the level for Time Trial mode. In ''Crash Bandicoot: Warped'', collecting the first five relics unlocks a [[Secret Warp Room]]. Every five relics thereafter unlock a secret level instead.

In ''[[Crash Team Racing]]'', ''[[Crash Nitro Kart]]'', and ''[[Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled]]'', the Relics are obtained similarly to the platform games. In Adventure Mode, after completing a course, the player's character can retry it for a relic.

In ''[[Crash Bash]]'', each minigame has an obtainable Gold Relic and a Platinum Relic. Sapphire Relics do not return in the game. In Adventure Mode, there are Gold Relic and Platinum Relic Challenges which can be unlocked separately by completing a certain number of [[Warp Room]]s. To obtain a Gold Relic, the player's character must complete a minigame's Gold Relic Challenge twice. To obtain a Platinum Relic, the player's character must complete a minigame's Platinum Relic Challenge three times. ''Crash Bash'' is the only game where Gold Relics have a green jewel encrusted instead of red.

In ''[[Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage]]'', there are three [[trading card]]s, which are of a Sapphire Relic, a Gold Relic, and a Platinum Relic respectively. They are rewarded for completing one of [[Crunch Bandicoot|Crunch]]'s weightlifting challenges.
