Gems are collectible stones that appear throughout the Crash Bandicoot series. Like crystals, they are powerful artifacts capable of harnessing planetary energy when collected (as stated by N. Brio in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back). They are usually collected by breaking all the crates or accessing alternative paths like Death Routes or Gem paths. In Crash Twinsanity, there are six gems hidden in each level for Crash to collect, which count towards 100% completion.
==Overview==
The gems appear in every main Crash Bandicoot console game to date. They are typically collected in every level that contains a crystal. The gems are different from crystals though. Crash is forced to collect the crystals in every level in order to advance in the game and plot, but gems are more optional for him to collect. However, they are still required to collect if the player wants to reach 100% completion.
According to N. Brio, the gems, like crystals, are powerful artifacts capable of harnessing planetary energy and can be used to power machines. Also like the crystals, the gems possess vast amounts of energy on their own.
Collecting a gem in the original version of Crash Bandicoot will allow the player to save that gem's collection, either using a Memory Card or by using a password. A save file with at least one gem collected will use a Super Password that has 24 characters instead of the usual eight, with the first two characters always being . However, collecting a gem will not save the player's level completion progress; for example, if the N. Sanity Beach gem is collected, but the player does not save at any Bonus Rounds, they will have to complete N. Sanity Beach again when they next load their save file.
===Clear Gems===
The most common way to collect gems is by breaking all the crates in a specific level. This requires Crash to go out and search every route and complete every bonus round to ensure that he earns the gem at the end of every level (except in Crash Bandicoot where crates in bonus rounds don't count towards the crates in the level). There are also different methods to collect the normal gems like completing a death route, specific task, or secret level.
===N. Verted Gems===
The N. Verted Gems, just like colored gems are similar to clear gems but inverted and they are unlocked after defeating N. Brio in Trouble Brewing. The method to collect these gems is complete every level in N. Verted Mode, getting Bumpa Berries, finding them hidden in somewhere of the levels and by breaking all the crates. They are required for the 100% and 106% completion in It's About Time.
===Grey Gems ===
Only appearing in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, these function like clear gems but can only be obtained by completing Gem Routes, discovery and objectives. These share the same model as the Red Gem.
===Colored Gems===
Colored gems are similar to the regular gems, but function differently and are more rare. There is only one of each color gem in most Crash Bandicoot games. Types of colored gems include blue, red, green, purple, yellow, and orange, though not all colors appear in all games. Colored gems are usually awarded to Crash for completing a certain challenge, task, or puzzle in a level. Most often this is beating a death route, but it also can be from discovering a secret area of the level or completing a special task. Once a colored gem is obtained, it is counted towards the regular gem total.
The difference between the colored and clear gems is that the colored gems provide a special lift in certain levels once they are obtained. These special gem lifts allow Crash to access different areas in a level in order to break more crates he couldn't break earlier or take him to a completely different route to collect more clear gems. These gem lifts will only work once the color gem has been collected though. Otherwise, only an outline of the lift will appear if the gem has not been collected yet. In Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, in any level that has a colored gem, the secret path to it will become outlined if the player has died anywhere but the special areas.
What follows is a list of each kind of gem and where they can be found in the various games.
==Crash Bandicoot==
Collecting any gem in this game will require you to finish a level and collect all of its crates without dying once you've broken a checkpoint crate; the game will respawn all crates in the level if the player does die, regardless of how far you are in the level. Deaths before a checkpoint will not skip the box tally.
In NTSC-J versions, deaths don't skip the box tally at the end of the level but all crates still respawn.

This game introduced a new type of gem, the Power Gem. One of these is needed to power the gates leading to each world and progress through the story. Ebenezer Von Clutch's Black Heart Power Gem is used to keep his life support running, and its theft is the inciting incident for the game's story.

Colored gems in the remake of the first game still require the player to break all the boxes in their respective levels without losing a life (after breaking a checkpoint), however. Most importantly, there are also new gems added into the trilogy. Here are the updated tables:
