Crash Bash

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' 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' health meter first, the player will gain access to the next Warp Room, where more arenas must be fought.

In "Pogo Pandemonium", players race around an arena on pogo sticks (or variations thereof), painting and capturing colored squares for points. Whoever garners up the most points within a set amount of time wins. In most arenas, special crates must be broken to turn squares into points. In "Pogo-A-Gogo", the players must encircle areas with their color to capture the center and add the squares to their score, and in "Pogo Padlock", the players cannot land on a square of their own color, or all their squares will be lost.

In "Polar Push", players gallop around on polar bear cubs and try to knock each other off the slippery arena, which may melt, tilt, or disintegrate around the players. Bombs, lightning bolts, and heavy weights can be used to aid in the elimination of other players. The last one standing is the winner.

"Crash Dash" pits players in a race against each other in a circular course. Turbo boosts can be obtained in the form of Wumpa fruits and fire missile in most levels. Crossing the finish line after a whole lap decreases the player's point and the first one to decrease his points to zero wins the game.

If the good side wins, Uka Uka, extremely furious, demands to know what kind of trickery was used to defeat his team. Aku Aku denies using any tricks, and announces that he knew from the start that Uka Uka was actually attempting to steal the Crystals. Uka Uka, filled with rage, decides to take it all out on Cortex and Brio when Aku Aku locks the Crystals away in a stone cabinet. He claims that the Crystals are too powerful to be left lying around, and in that cabinet the Crystals will remain safe for all eternity. Uka Uka demands what is coming to him, and Aku Aku gives him the penalty for disturbing the Crystals. Uka Uka is ejected into space.
