Items: Difference between revisions

These items are obtainable by Croc which can be used to help him advance through the [[Levels|levels]]:

[[File:Lifeani.gif|left]]These take the form of hearts and are found (usually hidden) in many places throughout the game. Picking up one gives Croc an extra life. The most common places that Hearts are found are usually in [[Bonus Areas]], which are usually in secret places by picking up [[Sparkling Stars]] or landing on special [[Platform|Platforms]]. See the [[Cheats, Hints and Tips]] page for tips on how and where to get extra Hearts. Every time [[Croc]] is hurt during the game while holding no white [[crystals]], he loses a life and returns to the start of the [[Levels|level]] or at the beginning of part of level, for example, when Croc enters a door. Hearts are found in [[Smash Boxes]], lying around, and are also obtained by collecting 100 or more white crystals in a level. The maximum lives Croc may have at one time is 98. If he touches another one, the animation will play but he will still have 98 lives. Croc starts a new game with two lives, and when he dies while the count is 0, the game is over and Croc must restart the level he last played.

===='''[[Jigsaw Pieces]]'''====

[[File:Jigani.gif|left]]A Jigsaw Piece In [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]] is found in each of the eight [[Secret Levels|secret levels]] each containing a Jigsaw Piece. These levels are unlocked by collecting all six [[Gobbos]] from the three previous consecutive [[:Category:Normal Levels|normal levels]], and played after the Guardian level. All eight Jigsaw Pieces, when put together, create the fifth and final island, [[Crystal Island]].

===='''[[Torch]]es '''====

*5 or 10 regular [[Crystals|crystals]]

*A [[Coloured Crystals|Coloured Crystal]] (red, blue, green, yellow or purple)

*A [[gobbo|Gobbo]]

In the level [[Smash and See]] in the [[Castle Island]] , these boxes must be stomped on in order to defeat the Spike [[dantinis|Dantinis]] unique to the level by making them fall off the path of boxes. In each part of this level, all Spike Dantinis must be defeated this way, as they are otherwise immortal (cannot be killed by stomp or tail attack) in order to get a Gold [[Key|Key]] at the end of that part of the level to unlock the next [[Door|door]]. These boxes do not contain anything within them. 

[[File:Silver_Key.jpg|thumb]]Silver Keys will enable Croc to open [[Cages]] that contain either a [[Gobbo]] [[Baron Dante]] has imprisoned, or Red Buttons that manipulate a platform or other part to a level. These only appear in [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]].

[[File:Gold_Key_small.jpg|thumb]]Gold Keys help Croc open Locked [[Door|Doors]] that have big, gold locks on them. A[[ Gobbo]] or something usually important is what usually hides behind these doors. In some levels, the Locked Door is actually the only way to advance and complete the level.

[[File:Crysani.gif|thumb]]White Crystals are the most common collectible object in the game, and also represent Croc's health. They are found in Smash Boxes, on land, and other various locations. If Croc is hurt while holding these crystals, he will drop them instead of losing a life. Croc will flash for a few seconds which prevents him from being hurt during that time, unless he falls in a Pit or off a cliff, in which case he loses a life. The crystals dropped will not stay on the ground for long, and Croc will drop all crystals he has even though once dropped he cannot claim the same number of crystals he had if he had over a certain amount, possibly 10-15 [citation needed].

There is no constant number of crystals in the levels, apart from in Guardian levels, where there are always 50 (apart from [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_Sentinel Secret Sentinel]; there are only 8). If [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Croc_%28Character%29 Croc] collects 100 crystals, he gains an extra life. [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Baron_Dante Baron Dante]'s evil powers appear to stem from the crystals. At the very end of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, provided you have collected everything and unlocked all of the game's secrets, you get to fight Baron Dante's final form, [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_Sentinel Crystal Dante], who is not only made out of crystal, but explodes into dozens of smaller crystals when defeated. Croc takes one as a souvenir, and it is probably for this reason that Baron Dante is missing his right eye, and wears an eye-patch in [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Croc_2 Croc 2].

====[[Coloured Crystals]]====

Coloured Crystals are collected in a normal level to unlock the [[Crystal Door]] at the end, which usually contains a [[Crystal Door Challenges|challenge]] in which Croc must complete in order to get the final sixth [[Gobbo]] in the level. They are found in [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Smash_Boxes Smash Boxes], <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">disguised </span>as regular crystals, or just laying around. They can be used to unlock the [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_Door Crystal Door] by finding all 5 of the Coloured Crystals on a level. The crystals come in five colours: Red, Purple, Green, Blue, Yellow; and White (in order to camouflage coloured ones) which will change back into a coloured crystal once collected. The disguised crystals also add one regular crystal to your count. This may help when [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Croc Croc] is hurt (so he doesn't lose a [http://croc.wikia.com/wiki/Life life]) and helps to get the goal of 100 crystals which awards an extra life.

===='''White [[Crystals]] '''====

<span style="color:rgb(58,57,57);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:21px;">At the title screen, hold L1 and press Square, Square, Circle, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right. Then while playing the game, hold and press Square to add 100 crystals to your inventory. Repeat this to add an unlimited amount of crystals to your inventory.</span>

===='''[[Coloured Crystals]] '''====

There are five coloured crystals in every [[:Category:Normal Levels|normal level]]: red, blue, green, purple, and yellow. Finding all five can be challenging, but doing so will reveal the [[Golden Gobbos|Golden Gobbo]] Teleportation Orb for that stage. 

===='''[[Jigsaw Pieces]]'''====

Finding these elusive Jigsaw Pieces is the goal of each [[Golden Gobbos|Golden Gobbo]] level. Each [[Mainland|Village]] has one, and Croc must collect all in the game to unlock a secret.

These are available for sale at each [[Swap Meet Pete]] store for 50 crystals. These must be used at special Clockwork Gobbo points found in most [[:Category:Normal Levels|normal levels]]. These are panels on the ground with gears pictured on them. Activating a Clockwork Gobbo on a panel will transport the device to an otherwise unreachable part of the level which the player must control and usually contains Hearts[[Life|<nowiki/>]] or [[Coloured Crystals|Coloured Crystals]] to pick up, but the Clockwork Gobbo only lasts a short amount of time before running out. This is the only other controllable character other than [[Croc]].
