An Interactive Element in the Croc series is something which Croc can interact with which isn't considered an enemy, protagonist, hazard or item.
In Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
Pits
A Pit is something which Croc may fall into which will cause him to drop crystals or lose a life. They come in these types:
Lava
Orange in colour, Lava is found on Forest Island.
Freezing Water
Also known as Icy Water, this type of water is too cold for Croc to touch, let alone swim in. It is found only on Ice Island.
Mud
Mud Pits are brown in colour and are found on Desert Island, although it is unknown why they would cause Croc any damage.
Acid
Acid Pools (also known as Poison Pools) are only found in circular pits on the Desert Island.
Cliff Edges/Bottomless Pits
Cliff edges are found on all islands and will cause Croc to lose a life regardless of how many crystals he has.
Platforms
These are commonly found in all levels in the game and come in many varieties, including stationary, unstable, moving and even ones which transport Croc to secret Bonus Areas. See the article for more details.
Sparkling Stars

Buttons

Balloons
Balloons are pink and carry Croc to another part of an area in a level. Once Croc is taken, he will let go and the Balloon will pop back to its original place.
Cages
Cages usually contain Gobbos or sometimes a Button or Switch and can only be unlocked by finding a Silver Key in the level.
Wells

In Underground Overground, there are two Wells at the beginning of the level. The bottom one will lead to the rest of the level, but will miss a cave only reachable using the top Well.
Desert Island Wells

Climbable Wall
A Climbable Wall is used for Croc to climb up to reach a higher part of a level. It is distinguished by small notches in the wall against non-climbable walls.
Beany Gong

Jellies

Monkey Bars

Boxes
Smash Boxes

- 5/10 Crystals
- Gobbo
- Coloured Crystal
- Butterflies
- Cog (only in The Tower of Power)
If Croc dies during a level after finding a Gobbo or Coloured Crystal inside a box, the box will respawn, but if he attempts to open it, it will only contain non-interacting Butterflies.
Push Boxes

Metal Boxes
This type of box is usually found in a stack of five and Croc must attempt to push them slightly to the side in order to climb on top of them like steps. They cannot be opened and will hurt Croc if any fall on him. They are only found in the level The Tower of Power, and the stack can be reset by jumping on the Switch nearby.
'Smash and See' Boxes

Doors
Regular Doors
These doors are found in almost every level and are brown, which open automatically when approached, to another part of the level.
Crystal Doors
Crystal Doors are found at the end of every normal level and require Croc to have collected all five Coloured Crystals from the level to enter. It always contains the sixth and final Gobbo and often contains a Crystal Door Challenge which Croc must complete to get the reward.
Locked Doors
Locked Doors are reddish-brown with a padlock on it that can only be unlocked when Croc is carrying a Gold Key.
Blocked Doors
In some levels, the game will not allow Croc to return through a door (usually a Crystal Door) once he has gone through. These usually appear to prevent Croc being able to restart a Mini-Game or Crystal Door Challenge. The level Dungeon of Defright will have all doors blocked after going through them, because it consists of almost entirely of Mini-Games.
Balloon Man Door
This type of door is only found in the levels Dungeon of Defright and Crox Interactive. Croc must push the Balloon Man to one door, and only one door, which he must then repeatedly jump on a green pump nearby to over-inflate it and break open the door. If Croc over-inflates it when not at a door, it will re-inflate.
Red Bricks

Rafts

There is a Glitch in the level Leap of Faith in which sometimes the third platform will not disappear and will continuously float into the darkness.
Cogs

In the level The Tower of Power, Gears are found in Smash Boxes and are used to make larger Gears turn to complete a part of the level.
A test level also contains a few of them.
In Croc 2
Gummi Savers / Jelly Jumps
In the second game, they are also used to bounce higher, but can only be purchased by Swap Meet Pete in his shop. As with most shop items, the maximum number of each type of Jelly is nine. They can be placed only onto Jelly Placeholders which will then enable Croc to bounce on the Jelly. If Croc uses a Jelly which doesn't give enough of a boost, i.e. using an Orange Jelly on a Red Jelly Placeholder, he will not be able to reach what was supposed to be reached with the correct Jelly, and will have to exit the level in order to correctly use that particular Jelly. It also works vice versa, as Red Jellies can be used on Orange Jelly placeholders, for example, but this is considered to be a waste of crystals/Red Jellies.
