Crash Nitro Kart is based on the console game of the same name . It features the same characters/teams and story as the console game, and has the same adventure mode as the console game. The game's tracks have been redesigned to work on the portable screens of the Game Boy Advance. The game uses 2D sprites instead of the console game's 3D models, and does not feature FMVs like the console version.
The gameplay of Crash Nitro Kart is centered around racing. Players can choose from a variety of characters, each with their own unique abilities and strengths. The game features multiple tracks, each with its own unique design and challenges. With fast-paced action and exciting gameplay, players will be on the edge of their seats as they compete against friends or opponents online.

How to Play
Placement Scoring
Scoring is determined by finishing position. 1st place earns 9 points, 2nd place earns 6 points, 3rd place earns 3 points, and 4th place earns 1 point. Anyone finishing after fourth place receives no points. At the end of the three tracks, the player with the most points wins the cup.
You can play this mode on your own or against friends in link play. The available cups and their tracks are:
•
Wumpa Cup: Earth 1, Barin 2, Fenomena 3
•
Nitro Cup: Barin 1, Fenomena 2, Teknee 3
•
Crash Cup: Earth 3, Fenomena 1, Teknee 2
•
Crystal Cup: Earth 2, Barin 3, Teknee 1

This mode is available for multiplayer only. The object is not only to take first place, but also to do it with 20 Wumpa fruits. You must race against your friends to collect Wumpa fruits scattered around the track. There is no lap limit; you race until someone crosses the finish line in first place with 20 Wumpa.
Battle Modes
In Battle mode, you speed around battle arenas collecting weapons and attacking enemies instead of racing on tracks. There are two Battle modes in Crash Nitro Kart. In these modes, you gain a point every time you damage an opponent and lose a point every time you get hit by a hazard or power-up.

Take advantage of your time in the Hub level by familiarizing yourself with how your kart handles. One main hub and four other world hubs will become available as you progress through the game.
