U-Turn Guide - The Key To Being The BEST | Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

Also, here's some more important tips about U turning, always be holding the down arrow this whole process too. You hold the brake button on the ground without holding the down arrow button, you will lose all your reserves and you'll come to a stop on the track and it'll get really ugly. Also, as long as you're holding the down arrow button while holding brake, you'll never lose your reserves. The down arrow button will be held for the entire process of the U turn. Never hold brake (square) until you hold down arrow. Never release your finger off the down arrow until you've released off the brake (square).

Yes, worth also mentioning U-turning is also possible on the ground without hopping, different use case mostly (safer though slower and good for relic time trials).

On PS4 you can just re-assign button actions with the down button on the d-pad and L2 . So that when you want to u-turn, you can just hold down L2 and turn the analog stick left or right. This is much easier to do than having to switch between using the analog stick and the d-pad. (Good video btw).

[@DrRank]

Yeah, but then you're using X to drift, and I don't wanna do that. I'll stick with PS1 control scheme... albeit without Right Stick functionality.

[@Jay-wg7je]

hes talking about custom controls. if you got to settings you can find it there. you can change your controllers controls and make custom button layouts.

0:22 - 0:30 That impersonation was spot on. xD

[@brodiero-solar302]

Megumi Bandicoot Yep

[@Fingers998]

great video really helpful!

[@zaksims1981]

I personally change the Bottom dead button to L2 , so I can press L2 and use the anolyg stick , I absolutely hate the D pad

[@LordTchernobog]

2:19 - buuut that's where I lose my fire... ... And whenever I hopp... I lose fire again. ALWAYS. LOSE. THE FLAME.

[@spontanelly789]

Great video I'm training it have a hard time to keep blue fire in clockwork out of time and cortex castle and thunderstruck because I can't use the u turn effectually every time ^^

[@zezorefat360]

Is it possible to U turn without holding the square button? I saw someone making smooth turns without it

[@arnaudgau]

Personnaly i do it with the stick. That is just an habit. But great vidéo

[@stefanloncar6868]

You should make video of tips about Oxide times For me i only did N. Tropy and got him Just hope that we don’t have new racer behind developer times(skin, Kart or paintjob i hope) Cause while N. Tropy times are easier then Vello and Oxide times Tiny Temple took me entire day

[@CosmicStardust2025]

When I heard from this long ago, I never use it cause its not my style at all. I mainly use multi tap air braking cause its more easier and takes precision. Especially in drift class too

[@احمدابوالخير-م3ل]

Thank you so much man you got the best like

[@rudyramadhana4127]

'just about' ? it matters a lot :)

[@colleenglanville8293]

*"I Had This Game My Whole Life And I Never Knew U-Turning Was A Thing."* If you can U-turn in real life, you can U-turn in Crash Team Racing! 🙃

[@LightOnnYT]

Always lose my speed and dont turn tight enough

[@ejazsarwar6123]

Hey Leopold, can you make a video if you want a Crash movie or make a video how a Ratchet Grand prix be like?

[@themanbehindthescreen8226]

The game should have explained this concept

[@WolfMoon351]

It if we do it that way, your blue fire will go out because of breaking

[@JMasterXP]

Not if you hold the down button

[@unidentified2026]

It is possible to do it with an analog stick but it is more difficult.

[@Fetter360]

Its possible but its very inacurate and very risky, but much comfortable

[@LightOnnYT]

Doesnt work

[@luk3y935]

Hey he didn't mention that you can also do this with the analog stick. Basically when you u turn, you must hold down before you hold the brake button. If you just press brake, as you know you'll lose all your speed. For me I just pull back on the analog stick, hold brake, then slide the analog stick left or right depending on the turn but always making sure the analog stick is held back. Then when you finish, make sure you let go of brake before you let go of pulling back the analog stick

[@luk3y935]

Also try the d pad if it's more comfortable

[@KatyaXx0]

Then youre doing it wrong..

[@LightOnnYT]

Ok works
