Every character in the game has their own combat style and a Crash-Attack that can be unleashed when the Crash Meter reaches its full potential from landing attacks to build TO's (Toshiko Orbs), which can be used to gain several kills (Crash-Attacks take 750 TO's to use).
Damaging opponents, along with damaging an opponent's Shield Meter, fills up the player's Crash Meter. Upon being filled, the user can activate their Crash-Attack, an extremely powerful attack which can score several kills, the number depending on the Crash-Attack and the player's skill.
