Crash Nitro Kart (PS2 Gameplay)

Crash Nitro Kart (PS2) - Character: Crash Bandicoot - Cup Tournament: Nitro Cup
Crash Nitro Kart is a racing game in which the player controls characters from the Crash Bandicoot universe, most of whom race in karts. While racing, the player can accelerate, steer, reverse, brake, hop or use weapons and power-ups with the game controller's analog stick and buttons. Four distinct types of crates are scattered throughout the tracks and arenas of Crash Nitro Kart. "Item Crates" are marked with a question mark (?) and usually come in sets of four. The player can obtain a weapon or power-up by driving through an Item Crate and breaking it apart. The player can only carry one weapon or power-up at a time. "Multiplier Crates" are marked with an "X" and are usually found in hard-to-reach spots on the tracks. These special crates contain three of a certain weapon or power-up. "Wumpa Crates" are unmarked and carry "Wumpa Fruit" that strengthens the player's weapons and power-ups if ten of them are obtained. "Activation Crates" are marked with an exclamation point (!) and don't give the player anything when they are driven through; instead, they activate either a trap that can slow down the other racers or a boost pad.
Boosting is an important part of Crash Nitro Kart's gameplay. When the player boosts, their kart will momentarily go slightly faster than its normal top speed. Boosts are achieved by driving over boost pads scattered across the tracks, pumping the gas at the starting line, and holding the gas button at the right time when being reset on the track. Another technique used for boosting is the "power slide". To execute a power slide, the player holds down one of the shoulder buttons to perform a hop and steer before the kart lands. While sliding, a curved "boost gauge" appears next to the player's kart. When the gauge goes from green to red, the player presses the opposite shoulder button to obtain a boost. The higher the boost gauge goes, the more powerful the boost will be.

[@ozealousstreamer899]

Jac - R6S i don't understand why people prefer CTR more than CNK (this game) because it was my second favorite Crash game after Twinsanity

[@venuslove-i1v]

@@ozealousstreamer899 CTR was a little more challenging due to all the cars being much faster and the race tracks had narrower roads making racing more competitive. The other racers would actually throw shit at you and you would have to dodge. Whereas CNK they would barely throw anything at you making the race less challenging. And if they did the roads were so wide you could easily dodge it.

Well Mario Kart 64 was the first to allow split screen display...which everyone later copied....so yeah :P

[@Gameactive]

C Gokce _Super Mario Kart_ had split-screen even in single player… Also, for those who are still saying _Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed_ ripped off _Mario Kart 7_ or vice-verse, I have yet to encounter the submarine transformation in the former and the aircraft in the former are self-propelled and don't go plummeting when you get hit by something. Speaking of which, I really wish Nintendo would fix the losing-more-coins-because-you-fell-off-the-stage-before-recovering-from-being-hit-by-another-item BS.
