Time Crate

Time Crates are only found when time trial mode (relic race in Crash Team Racing, Crash Nitro Kart, and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled) is activated. In Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage, time crates appear in Crate Smash and Crate Step bonus levels. They temporarily stop time depending on the number on the crate. These numbers vary from one to three, and in Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart, collecting all of them gives a perfect bonus of a ten second reduction.

*Prima strategy guide
"When you start a Time Trial, some of the Crates in a level turn into one-, two-, or three- second Time Boxes. Hit the Box to stop the clock and give yourself a better chance at winning a Gold Relic. The Platinum Relic isn’t mentioned because winning that has nothing to do with chance."
