Like the original Crash Team Racing, Nitro-Fueled is a
racing game featuring characters from the Crash Bandicoot series.
Players must avoid obstacles and navigate the various tracks to reach
the finish line, performing boosts via power sliding and jumping to gain
speed, and using power-ups scattered across the track to give
themselves a boost or hinder their opponents. The game supports quick
races and grand prix circuits, as well as featuring a full adventure
mode with new areas, characters and battles being unlocked as the
player progresses.
Nitro-Fueled includes all 31
race tracks from Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart, along with
several new features not present in the original Team Racing, including
online multiplayer and the ability to choose different karts, which can
be customized by the player. The adventure mode has also been tweaked:
in addition to new cinematic cutscenes being added, players can choose
between "Classic" and "Nitro-Fueled" adventure modes, the latter of
which allows players to change their character and kart between races,
as well as choose between three difficulty levels.
Nitro-Fueled
also adds substantial content from Crash Nitro Kart, including all of
its characters, race tracks, battle arenas, karts and battle modes.
Additional karts and character skins from Crash Tag Team Racing are
included as well. This and other new content is accessible via the Pit
Stop, an in-game shop that allows players to purchase unlockables using
Wumpa Coins earned through gameplay.
