 In the beginning of the series , Crash 's sole offensive maneuvers were jumping onto his enemies and a distinctive technique in which he spins around like a tornado , kicking away anyone or anything that he strikes . In later games Crash can expand his range of abilities by defeating boss characters . The expanded abilities include a powerful splash , the ability to jump while in the air , the " Death Tornado Spin " ( a variation of his spinning technique that allows him to hover through the air for a limited time ) , a bazooka that fires Wumpa Fruit , increased running speed , the ability to safely tip @-@ toe on top of explosive crates , and the ability to jump at incredibly high heights . The games Crash of the Titans and Crash : Mind over Mutant allow Crash to further expand his offensive abilities with new fighting moves learned from collecting a magical substance known as " Mojo " . In Skylanders : Imaginators , Crash has the ability to throw TNT crates , and can use his Yo @-@ yo to bring in enemies to spin attack .
