Totem Pole

Totem Poles appear in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash Bandicoot XS: The Huge Adventure, the Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy remaster of the second game, and the Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled remaster of Crash Team Racing. It resembles a polar bear totem, with occasionally a blue bird on top of it.

In Cortex Strikes Back, they are hazards that appear in the Polar riding levels Bear It, Bear Down, and Totally Bear. Crash Bandicoot dies if he hits one.

In The Huge Adventure, they appear in Frostbite Cavern and Snow Crash, but only as decoration in the background, not hazards.

In Crash Purple, they appear as hazards in the Polar riding levels, much like the ones in Cortex Strikes Back. They also appear as decoration in the background, much like in The Huge Adventure.

They reappear in the N. Sane Trilogy remaster of the second game where they reprise the same role they had in the original version of Cortex Strikes Back.

Totem Poles also reappear in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled during the cutscene before racing against Komodo Joe in Adventure Mode.
