CTR: Crash Team Racing

Save your game progress at any time by accessing one of the five Save points located throughout the World Map. Drive up to the base of the screen and stop, then select Save or Load and press the button to confirm.

When you complete a Relic Race or Time Trial faster than one of the previously fastest five times, you'll be asked if you'd like to Save your record. Enter your name and highlight SAVE HIGH SCORE, then press the X button to confirm.

On the Main menu, highlight ADVENTURE and press the button, then highlight LOAD and press the button. Finally, highlight the saved game you want to play and press the button.

Normal provides constant turbo speed for a few seconds, while Juiced Up provides constant turbo speed for even longer.

Normal makes the player unseen by others and immune to missile tracking, but they can still be hit. Juiced Up offers the same effect but lasts longer.

Press and hold the Brake (■ button) while turning to make tighter turns.

When you get the TNT Crate stuck to you, hop the car (L1 or R1 button) rapidly to shake the explosive loose.

Go faster through turns by power-sliding; turn hard while pressing and holding the L1 or R1 button.

The more Wumpa Fruit you collect, the faster you'll go; collecting and holding 10 Wumpa Fruit will "Juice Up" your power-ups, making them more potent.

Get a Turbo Boost during a Power Slide by quickly pressing the L1 button when the exhaust from your kart turns black.

Pay close attention to the Aku Aku and Uka Uka hints as they will help you develop your racing skills.

Normal: This super accurate tracking missile locks on to the closest driver in front of you, sending them into a tumbling crash if it hits. Juiced Up: The missile moves faster and tracks even better.

Normal: Roll these bombs straight ahead to blast karts in front of you; you can detonate them early. Juiced Up: The bomb has a bigger blast radius.

Normal: This green shield protects you from one weapon or obstacle for a few seconds and can be fired like a bomb. Juiced Up: This blue shield lasts indefinitely until hit by a weapon or obstacle and can also be fired like a bomb.

Normal: Release this box on the track; if a player runs over it, it lands on their head and explodes after a short countdown, unless they hop it off. Juiced Up: The crate turns into a deadly 'NITRO' Crate that explodes instantly upon impact.

Normal (Green): Drop it behind or launch it in front to spin out the next kart that hits it. Juiced Up (Red): The beaker is Poison, causing a spin out and then one of four unique poisons to affect the kart for a few seconds.

Normal: Protects you from all attacks and obstacles for a few seconds, allowing high-speed zooming, but not from chasms or deep water. Juiced Up: Aku Aku and Uka Uka stick around to help you even longer.

Normal: Activates a big speed burst. Juiced Up: Provides an even bigger speed burst.

Normal: Sets off a clock that spins out every kart (except yours) and then causes a few seconds of speed reduction. Juiced Up: All racers (except you) suffer a spin out and then an even longer speed reduction.

Normal: These dangerous energy orbs track and hit the player in First Place, causing them to tumble and crash. Juiced Up: This powered-up version tracks and hits ALL racers ahead of you on the track.

Crash is quite a hero and he's had plenty of practice beating bad guys. Crash's kart is a good all-round racer with an excellent balance of acceleration, top speed and handling.

Crash's former arch-enemy, evil Dr. Cortex wants to stop Oxide as much as anyone. The Cortex kart is a good all-round performer like the Crash kart.

Crash's smart kid sister and all around computer genius, Coco has really taken to racing. Coco's ride gets off the line faster than other karts like any good sprint kart should.

N. Gin is a mechanical genius. This brain-drained rocket scientist added a few custom parts to make his kart accelerate fast, just like Coco's.

Pura likes agility, so his kart handles better than others. He's lost a bit of speed from this, but boy can his kart take those tight corners!

Polar's kart handles better than other karts just like Pura's. He can really navigate around tricky corridors and cruise through big hair-pin turns.

Nasty ole' Tiny may seem big, but in his kart, he's the fastest thing going. Tiny's kart is built for top speed, but it's a little loose in the turns.

Another believer in top speed, Dingodile's kart may take a corner kind of wide, but in the straightaway he rules the barnyard.

N. Oxide is the galaxy's champion kart racer. Whoever wins the main competition must really burn rubber in the tough final race to beat him, and stop his wacky plan of turning the whole planet into a concrete parking lot.
