Fruit Bazooka

The Fruit Bazooka is a weapon that fires wumpa fruit. It can be obtained by beating N. Gin in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped or by beating Lo-Lo in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. In Warped, to use it, the player must hold down the L2 button, use the analog stick or directional buttons to aim, then press to shoot. It should be noted that Crash cannot move when using the bazooka, so some moving enemies can harm him if they aren't defeated quickly enough. Releasing the L2 button will put the bazooka away so Crash can move again.

In the PS2 version of The Wrath of Cortex, however, L1 must be held instead, as the developers chose to use L2 for the tip toe. The bazooka can also destroy nitro crates with its wumpa fruit, putting Crash out of harm's way in that aspect.

However, it cannot destroy checkpoint crates. This was done to ensure that the player can't skip a part of the level by hitting a checkpoint in the distance and then die and move ahead.
