Rev your karts in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Beenox’s 2019 kart-racing remake that stormed PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on June 21, 2019, and still drifts strong in 2025 with over 10 million players by 2020! This isn’t just a glow-up of the 1999 PS1 classic—it’s a nitro-boosted frenzy where you, Crash Bandicoot or a roster of 50+ wacky characters, race, slide, and power-up across tropical tracks to stop Nitros Oxide’s alien conquest. With Nitro-Fueled remastering Naughty Dog’s original and adding online chaos, CTR is a kart king reborn!
Boost, drift, hop—chain power slides, fling Wumpa Fruit, or turbo through shortcuts with masks like Aku Aku in Unreal Engine 4’s vibrant sprawl, hitting 4K/60 FPS on PS5/Xbox Series X|S via compatibility (Switch at 30 FPS). Race Adventure mode’s story (20-30 hours with gems and relics), battle bosses like Pinstripe, or clash online in 8-player lobbies—Grand Prix seasons (last in 2020) stacked free tracks like Spyro Circuit. No DLC post-launch, just pure kart carnage—local split-screen for 4, every track a playground of chaos.
The vibe? Cartoon mayhem meets ‘90s nostalgia—think palm trees, lava pits, and a Josh Mancell OST remixed with high-octane beats. The story’s a bandicoot brawl—Oxide challenges Earth, you rally the crew—voiced with goofy charm by Jess Harnell and crew. Solo’s a thrill, multiplayer’s a riot—critics (82 on Metacritic) and X posts adore its handling, though some nitpick online lag or Switch dips. Steam’s sales keep it cheap—Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled dares you to claim the podium. Grab a kart and nitro the competition!
