Wumpa Fruit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wumpa Fruit are common items in the Crash Bandicoot series that can be compared to Coins in the Mario series and Rings in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
[edit] Overview
Wumpa Fruit is the most common item you can find throughout the Crash universe. These colorful, apple-like fruits contain either a purple or orange juice inside, depending on the game. Wumpa Fruit can be found just lying around, or inside crates. As revealed in Crash Twinsanity, this fruit grows on Wumpa Trees. Several of these can be found in N. Sanity Island. Oddly, the Wumpa Tree seeds are much larger than the fruit itself, which probably means that the seed still grows long after the fruit disappears. Wumpa Trees are best known by their yellow wood and leafs, and by their ability to grow at an unrealistic rate.
[edit] Wumpa Fruit Throughout the Games
Collecting 100 Wumpa Fruit results in Crash gaining an extra life in the platform games.
In Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart, the Wumpa Fruit act as energy for the karts, and collecting 10 results in the racer getting "juiced up", resulting in a faster kart and stronger weapons.
In Crash Bash, the Wumpa Fruit acts as either health or turbo or whatever the mini-game calls for.
Wumpa Fruit are oddly the currency in Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage, and are used to buy certain objects.
Wumpa Fruit can also be used as ammo for Crash's Bazooka and Crash's Wumpa Gun.
[edit] Trivia
- In each of the games, Wumpa Fruit looks more like either pears or large strawberries, yet its round shape gives it the apple form.
- In many of the Crash games, the Fruit usually has 2 or 3 leaves on them, except for Crash Tag Team Racing, which the icon shows 4 leaves.
