When Ebeneezer von Clutch, the owner of the famed racetrack amusement park MotorWorld, has the Black Power Gem that maintains his life force stolen, he charges Crash and friends (and foes) to recover the gem and catch the culprit. The team must navigate through different tracks, using their unique abilities to overtake opponents.
Crash Tag Team Racing introduces a new multiplayer mode where players can 'clash' with another racer, creating a hybrid vehicle that cooperatively destroys opponents. Players can choose from various characters, including allies and enemies from the series, as well as new additions.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a kart racing game where players help Crash Bandicoot and friends recover power gems to save a theme park. Players race, combine cars with opponents to form a super vehicle with a turret, and can explore the park on foot to unlock new content.
Story
COMBINE AND CONQUER!
Theme park creator Ebenezer Von Clutch is in a pickle. Recently rated as the most hazardous spot on Earth, his racing park has rapidly slipped into disrepair and decay.
Since the disappearance of the park's power gems, and his own Black Heart Power Gem, Von Clutch has been slowly losing his ability to maintain composure and control the park. As a cyborg, the Black Heart is the center of his being and without its timely return, Von Clutch will cease to exist.
Somewhere hidden in the park is this Black Heart and he cannot find it alone. The desperate Von Clutch's final offering is the deed to the park itself for the contestant who collects the park's missing power gems. It is Von Clutch's hope that this will uncover both his missing Black Heart Power Gem and the person that betrayed him.
In Crash Tag Team Racing, help Crash Bandicoot and his friends find Von Clutch's power gems and save the park. "Clash" your car with an opponent's mid-race to make a super car equipped with a powerful turret gun.
When clashed, you can either get behind the wheel and drive, or fire an onboard weapon. Each character has his or her own unique 360° rotating turret.
You can also continue the action out of the car by exploring the entire world on foot. Unlock new characters, cars, clothing sets, weapon upgrades, and even new shortcuts on the racetracks!
