Items in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
There are many items that Croc will encounter during his travels to free the Gobbos and ultimately defeat Baron Dante, aside from the white and coloured crystals.
Playstation/PC Version Items
Collectibles
Extra Lives
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.
Jigsaw Pieces
The 8 secret levels all contain one jigsaw piece which ends the level when you pick it up. All 8 jigsaw pieces create the fifth and final island.
Torches
Scattered around on dark levels, the Torches will give light to Croc for only a few seconds, so be quick!
Boxes
Smash Boxes
These smash boxes are coloured differently throughout each environment, but easily distinguishable by the question mark on each face except the base and the top. You can only destroy these with a stomp. The only exception is when Croc is underwater, where you can use a tail swipe.
These have been known to hold the following:
- 5 or 10 regular gems
- A coloured gem (red, blue, green, yellow or purple)
- A gobbo
- A gear (found on the fourth island or the last level of the demo)
Push Boxes
These boxes can be pushed over a certain area, usually marked by a different colour to the rest of the floor. The can be identified by the arrow's on each face of the box, and can be used to get to places you cannot normally reach.
Keys
Silver Keys
Silver Keys will enable Croc to open cages that contain either the Gobbos Baron Dante has imprisoned, or switches that manipulate a platform or other part to a level.
Gold Keys
Gold Keys help Croc open doors that have big gold locks on them. A Gobbo or some other treat is what usually hides behind the door.
Other
Balloons
Balloons carry Croc to another part of the level. Make sure you don't let go until the balloon pops or you may lose a life.
Jellies
These pink gelatin desserts help Croc jump to higher places
GBC Version Items
Bonus Items
Bonus Letters
5 Bonues Letters are hidden in each level. If you collect all letters that spell bonus (B-O-N-U-S), you will gain access to the bonus door at the end of each level.
Bonus Door
The bonus door found at the end of each level opens up when you have collected 5 BONUS letters. Behind the door is the Sub-Game area where you can win the last Gobbo of the level.
Interactive Elements
Secret Level Balloons
If you manage to grab a balloon, Croc will float to a secret area where you can find a ton of Bonus Items!
Jellies
Use these gelatinous trampolines to bounce up to higher places. You might think that stomping on these will give you a bigger jump but this is not true.
Buttons
Jump on a button to make a platform either move or appear. Some platforms move back to their original positions, so push the button a second time to reactivate it.
Monkey Bars
These allow Croc to travel across dangerous parts of the levels, hand over hand, while avoiding enemies. If they are low enough, Croc can jump on top and run across them.
Collectibles
Keys
Some Gobbos have been placed in cages - Croc will need a key to release them.
Jigsaw Piece
Collect four of these for a special bonus. The pieces can be found in four different jigsaw puzzles.
