There are four cups, each with four races in them, and a big winners parade at the end.Īlso selectable is Adventure, which mimics Diddy Kong's single-player mode almost perfectly, except they don't get to pilot a plane or a hovercraft (Darn!). For quick and dirty one-off, players can choose Arcade Single, but if they want to blast through more than 17 of the courses than they should choose Cup, a race that pits you in four races in which the winner gets the best accumulative point score. Gin, plus bonus characters, and play through several play modes.

Players can choose from all of the goofy characters in Crash's world, including Crash, Dr, Neo Cortex, Tiny Tiger, Coco Bandicoot, Pura, Polar, Dingodile, N. At the same time, players need to look for shortcuts, learn the ins-and-outs of the courses, and become a better driver, too. Race for first place and tag buddies with as many power-ups as possible to dismantle, destroy, and undermine their chances in every single lap. But the kart formula hasn't changed much here since Mario Kart on the Super NES. Gameplay Crash takes the best parts of Nintendo's Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing (which by the way was also fabulously unoriginal), brews them up in to a fresh polygonal world, and puts a Crash Bandicoot face on the kart genre. To be fair, Naughty Dog has integrated its usual technical magic by making CTR good-looking, fast, and four-player. This game reeks of Nintendo's Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing in every facet, and yet if you can push aside the maniacally smiling, pasted-on smile of Crash bursting across the finish line, then you will like this game.

In every way better than any of the next-generation kart games, CTR is also the most unoriginal, from its structure to its characters to its powerups and courses. When a game like Crash Team Racing arrives on the kart scene, you know the videogame industry has grown fat and happy.
