Crash Bash: Rewards & Unlocks
Understand trophies, gems, crystals and relics before returning to earlier arenas. Contains unlock spoilers.
Trophies
Win three rounds in an arena’s trophy contest. This opens its further challenge variants. These trophies are in-game items, not PlayStation Network trophies.
Gems
Win under a special constraint, often involving a timer or disadvantage. Read the challenge conditions before the round starts.
Crystals
Complete an arena-specific rule twist. A strategy that wins the normal event may need to change substantially.
Gold relics
Defeat the arena champions in two consecutive rounds. Practise consistent survival and scoring rather than relying on a lucky win.
Platinum relics
The tougher relic challenge requires three consecutive wins. A lost round breaks the streak, so play conservatively when ahead.
Completion and unlocks
Earning the full set of Adventure rewards leads toward 200% completion and opens further events. The retail roster contains eight selectable characters; bosses are not extra roster unlocks.
Original 2000 PlayStation release. This guide covers the retail game, not demos, fan projects or unofficial online adaptations. .
Verify the next warp-room requirement
Check the rewards required for the next gate and identify which available challenge can supply them. A trophy clear, gem attempt and crystal challenge should be treated as distinct objectives even when they use the same arena. Read the rule screen before retrying. Once a gate opens, inspect the new selection before returning to collection so you know which part of the adventure actually advanced.
