D.I.K.A

The main mode of play in Crash Bash is the Adventure Mode, in which the player must win all 28 levels to complete. The player wins Trophies, Crystals, and Gems by beating the different challenges of each level. Certain levels require a minimum number of Trophies, Gems, or Crystals to gain entry.

Like the platformer installments of the Crash series, the player uses Warp Rooms to travel among the many levels of Crash Bash. The player can access additional Warp Rooms by defeating Arena Bosses. To complete the entire Adventure Mode, the player must win every Trophy, Gem, Crystal, and Relic in every arena. Each arena is played in the same manner; the arena continues until one player wins three rounds; winning three rounds earns the player a Trophy. After a Trophy is won in an arena, the player can return to the arena to win Gems and Crystals. After four Warp Rooms are completed, Gold Relics can be obtained, as can Platinum Relics.

When a certain number of Trophies, Gems, and Crystals have been obtained, an Arena Boss Event is unlocked. In Arena Boss Events, the player battles a single powerful adversary in a certain type of minigame. Defeating this boss requires the player to empty the boss's health meter. The player will also have a health meter. Every time the player takes damage, his/her health meter will lose some Wumpa Fruit juice. If the juice runs empty, the game will end. By emptying the boss's health meter first, the player will gain access to the next Warp Room, where more arenas must be fought.
