A '''Gate''' is a hyperdimensional, space-time distortion that allows people to move through time. The first Gate in {{CT}} is opened by the [[Telepod]] interacting with [[Marle]]'s [[pendant]], sending her into the past. [[Crono]] uses the same means to follow her. [[Lucca]] creates a [[Gate Key]] that can open any Gate, enabling the group to travel through time at will. More Gates are discovered as the group continues their journey, set up by some unknown [[entity]] to put them on course to fight with [[Lavos]] and prevent the destruction of the world. After obtaining the [[Epoch]] from [[Belthasar]] in the [[Future]], the Epoch's Time Gauge locks onto the temporal coordinates of all the Gates, allowing it to travel to any time period accessible by the Gates ([[Prehistory]], [[Antiquity]], [[Middle Ages]], [[Present]], [[Apocalypse]], [[Future]], [[End of Time]]).

The Gate in the Mystic Mountains does not have a corresponding geographic exit in another time period, at least not in-game. In {{CC}}, it is discovered that this Gate is one of the oldest in existence, as it permitted [[Leah]] to travel from her own time in Prehistory to [[Gaea's Navel]], only to return there at the end of the game.

The Gate in Magus' Keep is a temporary Gate, created by the premature awakening of [[Lavos]]. It grows to massive proportions, swallows up Magus' Keep, and flings the heroes across time. It deposits Crono and company in [[Prehistory]], near [[Ioka Village]]. Magus, however, is sent to some time prior to the Gate's opening in [[Antiquity]].

The Gate in the bucket at the End of Time takes the group directly to the fight with Lavos. This battle starts with the fight against Lavos' shell. Once they make it inside the shell, there is another Gate that allows them to return to the End of Time to recuperate. Afterword, the bucket Gate will return them to the inside of Lavos' shell. If the Dimensional Vortex is completed, the Gate in the bucket will instead take travelers to the [[Time's Eclipse]].

The red Gate at Fiona's Shrine is a side quest after completing the Sunken Desert. Using it, Lucca travels 10 years into the past to prevent the accident that leaves her mother unable to walk. This is the only side quest in the game that can be failed without ending the game. The only difference it makes is whether or not Lucca's mother, Lara, is able to walk for the rest of the game.

In a [[New Game Plus]], the fight with Lavos is available immediately. Once Crono and Marle go to Lucca's demonstration, there is a spark in the right telepod that can be activated to create a Gate that travels directly to the fight with Lavos, and is one of the ways to see the director's ending of ''Chrono Trigger''.


In the DS version, there are other Gates in 600 AD and 65M BC that lead to the [[Lost Sanctum]]. Likewise, there are Gates in 1000 AD, 2300 AD, and 12000 BC that lead to the [[Dimensional Vortex]].

An interesting occurrence with Gates is that an unstable Gate tends to send someone to a certain period of time before that Gate becomes active in the game:

* When interacting with the [[Pendant]], the first Gate sent Marle to before the [[Middle Ages]]' Gate's opening. Marle had been found in [[Truce Canyon]] some days or weeks prior to Crono's arrival, given how she had already been set up in place of [[Queen Leene]], yet Crono entered the Gate mere moments after Marle did.

* The unstable Gate in the Fiendlord's Keep flings Magus to some months prior to the Gate in [[Antiquity]] opening, giving him time to establish himself as the Prophet.

There is another supposed Gate located near [[Gaea's Navel]], which is how [[Leah]] arrived from Prehistory and subsequently returned to the past.
