Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled: Top 5 Tips To Help You Improve And Win Races!

[@iamMisterBo]

Do you have any tips to help other players improve and win more races let me know?

[@jeffrywalker721]

Pro tip: hold down the hop button (whichever one you use) after you hit the ground after a jump to go right into a slide, rather than landing and having to hop an extra time. It's an easy thing to do to save time but I see a bunch of people making that mistake all the time

[@flightkidd123]

Git Gud

[@JustLou08]

I have discovered that you can press the brake button while mid air. Holding it down slightly while turning in mid air and then letting go will not completely reduce your reserves! Try it on one of the hairpin turns on Electron Avenue.

[@iamMisterBo]

@@JustLou08 Yeah this is a great technic that Ive been using on Cortex castle.

[@JustLou08]

@@iamMisterBo Nice! I also noticed that hopping feels quite different than the original. Or that's just me...

[@DeadlyHellhound]

Don’t forget to jump a lot... Turning while Jumping helps you make a turn easier on many sharp turns or if you understeer those sharp turns. (Keep in mind, You can steer in the air 👍) Also brake turning helps too. You always want to make sure you never hit walls straight on, it’ll kill your speed entirely and can even cost you the entire race (if you play on a harder difficulty or online) Just remember to jump and don’t be afraid to use the brakes while turning if you make a mistake, you want to make sure you don’t ever completely stop. Slowing down will save you more time than stopping or having to reverse, trust me 👌

[@BoostedMonkey05]

Made much more easier by the fact you can handbreak turn in the air without loosing boost.

[@airzonasprite4060]

Better yet, just do U Turns

[@noraomar5294]

Thank you. That’s very helpful 👍

[@zulemazahir666]

This is great advice, I got screwed over many times running into things playing as dingodile esp when I first starting power sliding consistently. Time trials are great practice for getting better at that and many other things.

[@SkipToasty]

It’s funny, I’m finding the game more challenging now than the PS1 version was! I played a couple rounds against medium AIs to see how my muscle memory was, and I could keep top spots but I had to work SO hard! These reminders are nice!

[@TucBroder]

Thank you! I wish there were more guides to beginners or noobs, instead of everyone getting upset at people who's just not good at the game. I've played the original back in 1999, but forgotten most of it. I can win on easy mode, but everything else I get beaten bad. I just can't hold the drift for an entire lap or that sacred fire crap, which means I can't set good times on Time Trial and challenge N Tropy. Online slaughters me as well.

[@iamMisterBo]

Glad I could help you, don't worry if you stick with it and you'll get better. :)

[@iamMisterBo]

@@ShadowCeltic Try a different track on hard, crash cove is actually one of the harder tracks to do on hard.

[@BoostedMonkey05]

The AI drivea better now in Nitro Fueled. There is no rubberbanding according to other vets even if the original CTR had a bit of that. It was mostly because of the people reviewing the game were very bad drivers. Vets consistently were able to get a large gap between the AI racers on Medium even to the point of catching up in most map.

[@zackattack366]

This is one of those games I remember playing a ton as a kid and loving it but I don’t remember beating it. So much mario kart over the year the button layout will take time to adjust to

[@iamMisterBo]

Yeah I struggled to beat it as a kid as well.

[@thechance6115]

2 tips. 1 I dont know if many people have done this. So you have a shit load of speed and tight turns, instead of bouncing, right after jumping hold square, it will almost auto maneuver through the hard turn while loosing no speed. It takes practice since idk if it was intended. Also like at the beginning of this video. In N gin labs at the end of the warp tunnel, if you start powersliding before the end of the tunnel you can continue to have blue flames through the rest of the level if you do it right. If you do not powerslide before you get out your blue flame will be lost.

[@thechance6115]

@Riley It is a possibility if done incorrectly, it takes practice and you are much less likely to no loose it if you are doing square in the air. It is possible to do the square thing while on the ground but much more likely to loose the boost and the reserves. but like on Electron Avenue i can keep a blue flame going for almost all 3 laps straight.

[@JustLou08]

Just a nitpick, but I would love the option of cpus using just standard karts for that classic feel. Also the ability to gain wumpa coins and access the pit stop even with no internet.

[@iamMisterBo]

AI do use classic karts in classes adventure.

[@JustLou08]

@@iamMisterBo That's all well and good, but I mean that there should be a toggle to have the AI on other modes to just use the standard karts. Like on how the screenshots of the Nitro Squad and Tawna for the upcoming grand prix has them on standard karts with their unique color. Again, this is just a nitpick of mine, but I would love to have that option.

[@cosmo9925]

I beat Oxide by 30 seconds, I got in front of him and he kept running into the items I left, I left some on the ramps too so he’d be forced to fall out of bounds lmao

[@iamMisterBo]

lol

[@digbaddy9530]

The tips were helpful yes but basic. Telling me to chain my turbos is a great tip, how about tips on how to get good at doing it. There is a way but I cant seem to figure it out. You have. What is the best way to get them chained up? I find that I end up turning to much by the time the second boost opportunity comes up and I have to stop and line myself back up just to have it happen again. Whats the best way to get good at chaining boosts?

[@bert7651]

Long boosts as opposed to rapid short boosts. These will sustain you long enough to line yourself up for your next drift. 2 full boosts are better than 3 quick ones that fizzle out quickly. No other way to get good than to practice. No guide can teach you how to feel when to do what.

[@guardn1689]

Honestly I like this better than original, but hope microtransactions won't affect gameplay, also leaderboard, cup online, and 2 players split screen online vs others should make it perfect, I don't mind if they tweaked controls for other players but I love it as its. Is it my internet or the servers that has connection problems?

[@iamMisterBo]

Yeah Cups online would be great and im sure its coming, dont worry its not you its the servers. Might be why they haven't got Cups up straight away as they want the servers to be working properly.

[@imanobody7911]

It's confirmed that there will be no microtransactions at all. You can't even buy wumpa coins with real money which is so great

[@MrDT2012]

Didn’t they already say like a month ago that it’s coming in beginning of July (1-10). I know that Grand Prix thing is coming with a battle pass that’s free and you earn stuff by winning.

[@fjcarmo0369]

The importance of that final tip can't be overstated. Some races are nearly impossible if not completly impossible to win without mastering that drift boost mechanic. An additional tip would be to learn to use the brake button button for tighter turns like the last one on hot air skyway. Some characters (pura) can make near solid u turns with just a medium press of the brake button. Other times you can master the art of using a quick tap of the brake button when necessary to correct your characters line in a turn or change your charcters line to dodge a tnt crate or a beaker. This works best with characters like Cocco but will work with any character in the game when you get good at it. On some tracks you will need to master the brake turning trick to use the fast chracters like Tiny Tiger.

[@WubChubs]

I just main pine stripe with black kart with 9 on the Front and i say that to say this ..... I AM THE SPEED CHAMPION ALRIGHT

[@ruhtraflowed5458]

Press Y or Triangle.

[@raufemerlyzaky1654]

If you guys use speed type like papu papu and tiny tiger it's hard to turn so use air brake and use u-turn really helpful for speed type

Here is a good tip, stay off offline and do Adventure and Time Trials untill you feel ready for online. The players there show no mercy and its going to frustrate the crap out of you losing all the time, this is only magnified by items when you are skilled because it feels like they invalidate skill with the press of the button. I started playing this since the Spyro Grand Prix and i feel fairly confident in saying im pretty decent at the game so please heed my advice and only do online when you FEEL READY. Hopefully my 2 cents help you ready for online play if thats your goal. As much as i agree with someone who said a separate mode for "tryhards" i don't think it would work as well because they would just infest normal online for practice, Overwatch suffers from this too.
