Gems and crystals are the main collectibles in the Crash Bandicoot platform games, first released on PlayStation in 1996. Colored gems and clear gems are earned by smashing every crate or completing secret routes, while crystals drive the story progress in later entries. Because collecting them marked real progress, their sparkling sound became linked to achievement among fans. The clip still circulates in gaming edits, remixes and soundboards where creators need an instantly recognisable retro reward cue without using dialogue or a full music track.
