Beenox Crates are very well-hidden crates, added to the game in March 2020 in the game’s first post-Grand Prix update. They’re almost completely hidden when driving around the track normally, and while breaking one won’t yield any immediate reward, breaking them all will unlock the Iron Checkpoint Crate as a character.
You can check our video on YouTube for their locations:
Beenox Crates can be found on every race track in any race mode in the game, with the exception of Retro Stadium. They MUST be broken by physically driving into them, so shooting them with Power-Ups won’t work. Once broken, they will not appear again.
