Items in Croc 2

There are many items or elements in Croc 2 that can be interacted with. While some are new for Croc 2, some were carried forward from Croc: Legend of the Gobbos.

Hearts
These represent your health. Every time you take a hit from an enemy or an environmental hazard, you will lose one heart. If you have zero hearts remaining and you take a hit, the game will be over, though you can continue from the start of the current stage. Your Heart capacity is limited by the number of Heart Pots that you are carrying.

Heart Pots
Each of these lets you carry one Heart. Naturally, the more pots you have, the more hits you can potentially take before you reach game over. You start the game with three Heart Pots, and you can find or buy more, up to a maximum of nine, throughout the game. Note that when you die and continue, you will only receive three Hearts to play with, no matter how many Heart Pots you're carrying. All of your Heart Pots will be filled when you purchase a new one, or when you collect all 100 crystals from a particular stage.

White Crystals
These shimmering gems are a valuable commodity in Croc's world. Each stage has 100 of them in total. When you complete or exit a stage, any collected Crystals will be added to your Swap Meet Pete Loyalty Card, for use at the local store.

Coloured Crystals
There are five coloured crystals in every normal stage: red, blue, green, violet, and yellow. Finding all five can be challenging, but doing so will reveal the Golden Gobbo teleport sphere for that stage.

Golden Gobbo Statues

 * Visit the Golden Gobbos article for more info.

Within each Golden Gobbo teleport section, this is what you want to find. Acquiring the statue for all normal stages in a village will grant you access to that village's Golden Gobbo door.

Clockwork Gobbos
Available for sale at each village's store. These must be used at special Clockwork Gobbo points found in most normal stages. These are panels on the ground with gears pictured on them. Within the Clockwork Gobbo sections, you can acquire many Crystals and other pickups, if you can steer well.

Jigsaw Pieces
Finding these elusive puzzle pieces is the goal of each Golden Gobbo stage. Each village has one, and only one.

Gummi Saver Jumps
These are essentially bouncy jelly rings. They come in three different 'flavors': light blue ones are Crystal Craze Gummi Saver Jumps, green ones are Five Flavor Gummi Saver Jumps, and purple ones are Wild Berries Gummi Saver Jumps. You can purchase these at the store in each village. They are used in specific marked locations within most normal stages, where you give you great bounce, letting you reach otherwise unreachable locations.

Binoculars
A.k.a. the 'Magic Eye Zoomers'. You can pick these up from the the crate at the very start of the game. Scroll to them in your inventory and use them with [Triangle] to enter a free-look mode, where Croc can get a slightly better bearing on his surroundings.
