CTR: Crash Team Racing — play online free
Naughty Dog put Crash and his friends and enemies into go-karts for this 1999 racer. In adventure mode, the alien Nitros Oxide threatens to pave over Earth, so you roam a hub world winning races, trophies and boss duels to stop him. What sets it apart is the power slide: holding a drift and tapping at the right moment chains up to three boosts, and learning it transforms every track. Add weapon crates, Wumpa fruit and shortcuts, and races become fast and demanding. It is remembered as one of the strongest kart racers of its era, and the split-screen multiplayer still holds up beautifully.
Tips for playing CTR: Crash Team Racing
- ▸Practice the power slide: when the exhaust smoke darkens, tap the opposite shoulder button to boost, and chain up to three in one drift.
- ▸Collect Wumpa fruit until you reach ten; your weapons become stronger for the rest of the race.
- ▸Hit the accelerator at the right moment during the countdown for a boost start, and use big jumps to gain speed on landing.
