@@BenjaMage Do you play Visual Novel games? Perhaps the two XBlaze games, Code Embryo and Lost Memories. P.S. What's your username so Gustavo can race you in CTRNF?
I agree with him. Tag Team is one of my favorite games in the franchise. You just have to forget all about Team Racing and Nitro Kart because its mechanics are totally different. Its a game by its own and has nothing to do with them. If you pick this game open minded you'll have a lot of fun with it.
Other reviewers try to fit into this mold on what is socially acceptable to be "fun" or "good games", i've seen reviewers AND youtubers originally like some of these games, then come out a year or more later claiming they never had fun with it or it's bad. Not to mention the "not the original creator bias" that people have on games. Like how they look down on some games after ND despite having the same issues as ones in the trilogy (WoC comes to mind), almost as if people nitpick or try to find these issues. This bias applies to many franchises like Sly Cooper and it's 4th game.
I just remember the Die-O-Ramas making me feel sorry for Crash, especially that one where a machine decides that he'll never find love. Harsh when you know the explanation for Twana not being in most of the games after 1 is that she left Crash for Pinstripe.
My theory for Tawna (pre-N. Same Trilogy version) dumping Crash Bandicoot in favour of Pinstripe is that she was acting like a damsel in distress at that time rather than actually making an effort to defend herself when everyone else can (I know she’s a woman and the only female in the original game (which is why I think it’s sexist and not as good as people say even though it’s certainly not without it’s good qualities), but come on! At least Coco Bandicoot and Nina Cortex have some agency!)
It's so refreshing to hear someone actually having a good time playing CTTR, even if it is in such a childish manner (which, well, it's kinda what the game is like, so no shame XD) CTR Nitro Fueled is just fanservice at it's finest. They could have just remade the original CTR with modern graphics and online and call it a day, but they went the extra mile by taking aspects from the ENTIRE franchise, to the point where, if Crash was a part of your childhood in any way, shape or form, this game will make you smile. (for example, that giant dragon they added in Dragon Mines? Is the same one that chases you in one of the levels from Wrath of Cortex. I love everything about that)
I didn’t even pick up on that detail in Dragon Mines. Omg that’s great. I’m not a fan of Wrath of Cortex but that’s still so awesome they’re acknowledging so much of the series.
I loved this review. Finally someone doesn't shit on CTTR just because it's different. I LOVE that game and I played it very late in life. It's just so silly that you can't help but love it.
I played it for the first time a year ago and I really loved it. I dont get it why people are hating so much on this game. The best thing by far is this car fusion mechanic which I would like to have in the upcoming remake

I grew up with Nitro and Tag-Team, and while I didn't get too much into the former, I do remember really enjoying Tag-Team as easy as it was. It's not difficult, sure, but it's fun as a hell to blow up other racers in the turret fusions. Plus I loved messing around in the hubs and trying to 100% them.
Worry not, friend. I recall enjoying the crap out of Crash Tag Team Racing. I did play the PSP version tho, so I sadly did not know too much about the story until I actually looked it up.
Who would've guessed the Chicken reporters from Crash Tag Team Racing would end up making a comeback to announce the Grand Prix Challenges on CTR Nitro Fuel.
20:17 I have no idea how you steal someone’s heart without them noticing, but I guess you could say... HE NEVER SAW IT COMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!! ...I’m sorry I’ll leave now.
CTR is absolutely one of my favorite games as a kid. I was watching the Game Awards live, and when I realized they were remaking it...I cried. Tears of pure childlike joy. I was so excited when they announced it. And oh man it still plays like it used too! So glorious!!!!
It’s good to know that Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled now gives you a chance to play as Tawna, the trophy girls and Baby T as well as having Spyro crossing over.
Another way to put it... Is that Every character and track from CTR and Nitro Kart will be in the game at launch. And they've already announced that they're going to be adding CTTR tracks and characters a bit later. So we're essentially getting everything from all 3 games, in 1 games. Not counting characters that are now playable like Tawna, and the trophy girls. Hell, even Spyro is coming down the line, probably with his own track even.

Really nice video. Watching it actually made me thing that CTTR would have been a much bigger success if it was a Crash Bash sequel instead of a CNK one. Basically keeping everything the same (the adventure etc.) but replacing racing with the mini-games of Crash Bash and expanding upon the concept.
Dude, this was the first video I ever watched of yours, and it's awesome. Some funny gags, and well constructed discussions on these three games. Admittedly, I've always been a Nintendo guy, but I'm a pretty big Crash fan having played N. Sane Trilogy and CTR Nitro Fueled on Switch. Both are great games, and I'm excited to see what Crash has in store for his first big new game on the scene. Also, N. Gin always felt kind of boring to me in the remake games as I've played them, and this video shows just HOW MUCH a different voice actor can make or break a character. Like, N. Gin was hysterical in the brief snippet you showed, and I love the character. Makes N. Brio in N. Sane Trilogy feel like Nolan's N. Gin Lite, since Maurice Lamarche doing Brio makes him sound super funny and manic. Just felt like bringing up that observation, since it kinda rattled through my head while watching the video.
I mastered this game years ago, I am so excited for it to release tonight ! I never thought they’d remake my favorite racing game to date! I’m so surprised so many people are excited as I am , I love that!
SideNotes: CNK: Bosses were gonna be implemented, but ultimately Cut do to time restraints CTTR: Was also Available on the PlayStation Portable(PSP) and Linking your PSP with the game to a PS2 with the game, unlocks more karts and Costumes. and if Anyone was Curious, YES! i have played The Crash Nitro Kart on the N-Gage. if you want my take (some jerk on the Internet) it was weird, the controls were slippery, especially with the N-Gage itself being, crowded. and it somehow was less visually appealing compare to the GBA version, which in hind sight, felt like a GBA port but felt much worse to me.
Emperor Velo is actually one of the most competent villains in Crash Bandicoot series. I gave a full elaboration about him in my Top 5 Best and Worst One-Time Crash Characters list in DeviantArt(I should rename that list since Nitro-Fueled has Nitro Kart characters). And UNLIKE Oxide, Velo doesn't cheat in his race and I NEVER had that much issue with his weapons since he doesn't spam them that much. It's the track itself that makes Velo race the hardest boss in the entire series.
0:47 My friends still remember how loud I was screaming and jumping and just generally freaking all the way out. That was a MASSIVE nuclear train of nostalgia.
I only played nitro kart and tag team racing, but honestly i loved tag team racing so much, i loved the fact that you could just wreak havock by just merging with someone, and having a hub world where you unlocked shortcuts for tracks, i thought it was genius, though i know some would like to dive straight into the action, but my favorite mode was the stunt one, i dont know, i just loved beating my old high score, or try to finnaly land a quad backflip, something like that, but if there was one thing i would change it would be the bot difficulty, yeah they where way to easy. Maybe the controls too, but i adapted to them way quicker than i should of.
YYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! CRASH TAG TEAM RACING IS MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD AND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GAME I EVER GREW UP WITH!! THANK YOU FOR SHEDDING GOOD LIGHT IN IT!! ITS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE GAME AND CRASH GAME IVE EVER HELD! GOSH EVEN IF ITS CHILDISH TO OBLIVION AND BACK, ITS MY COMEDY AND TIES IN WELL AFTER CRASH TWIN INSANITY!
I played one of the older racing games with my cousins when I was younger. I remember playing as Coco and there being an ice track. It's cool to see some videos from you! Hope you're doing great in your classes!
I've only had CTR and CTTR, but I LOVEEEEEDDDD CTTR!! The stunt mode and the turrets were my favorite parts! CTR is no doubt the greatest, but CTTR was fantastic to me too!
CTTR was crazy game: not only did the creators of the game make a gunner-driver mechanic where you OR the cpu can fuse and defuse at any given time, it’s how they made ALL CARS FUSE a certain look. The gunner mechanic was like item box but you can fuse anytime you like hell you didn’t even need to to win a race. Also your comment on the portal bosses for CTR, esp Ripperoo, technically teach the player all the mechanics they need to know all in one race-tnt crates can come off you if you bounce enough aka the start to the drift mechanic; Ripperroo doesn’t really progress that fast ahead of you if you are behind; Ripperoo speeds up of you the player are ahead and this is only attainable if the player utilized and understands the drift-mini boost mechanics :) Ripperoo being the first portal boss was imo the best idea for the game since it’s the first boss race where the player has to showcase what they have learned or need to learn in order to become one of the fastest racers in the galaxy. And hell, you’re gonna really need to master those mechanics esp boosting cuz OG Oxide was MUCH harder than CTRNF Oxide I can tell you that much. Édit: and yes I know it’s an old video but CTR was the first kart racer where some racing obstacles can be used towards cutting tracks (not shortcuts-big difference)
The first time I played Crash Nitro Kart after learning how to powerslide boost, I was quite disappointed in how quickly 3 boosts etc. turn into 0 boosts. And I was also disappointed when I discovered that reaching 50 boosts in Velo's Citadel counted for nothing. One of the two controls that I was using also wasn't very good which further added to the difficulty. But after multiple attempts, I did manage to unlock Fake Crash and Pura. I'm amazed at the number of people that criticise the Team Race mechanic. Since I always thought it was good. And the Team Frenzy mechanic makes up for the fact that you can't concentrate on other things like boosting. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get all the crystals in Desert Storm within the time limit. So I couldn't unlock Zam and by extension Velo. And I couldn't memorise the exact position of the shortcut in Hyper Spaceway so I couldn't beat N. Tropy's last ghost. I unlocked Zem, Polar, and Dingodile in 2007, and Fake Crash and Pura in 2011. I almost unlocked N. Tropy in 2012. Unfortunately I haven't found anyone that has owned the game since. So I haven't been able to play it. Regarding the race tracks, I find Coco Bandicoot, Doctor N. Gin, Nitrous Oxide, Zam, N. Trance, Polar, and Pura to be the best drivers for Out of Time, Thunder Struck, Android Alley, Electron Avenue, and Hyper Spaceway. And possibly Doctor Nefarious Tropy, Zem, and Velo. Though I haven't played as Velo since 2007, I haven't played as N. Tropy at all, and I haven't played as Zem since 2012. Plus I wasn't aware at the time that Zem was actually better at handling than Crunch Bandicoot, Tiny Tiger, and Dingodile who all have crappy handling. At one point Zem's handling did feel lighter than Dingodile's but I assumed it was just my imagination. Because it never occurred to me that he would have better handling than the other three main characters of the Advanced class. Nitrous Oxide and N. Trance are all rounders with 04/07 in everything. So they can race on pretty much every track without any issues. Except they are a bit slow compared to Zem and Dingodile. Pity you can't play as Nitrous Oxide or N. Trance in Adventure Mode. Crash Bandicoot and Doctor Neo Cortex don't have any major weaknesses but they aren't as good at handling as Nitrous Oxide or N. Trance. I also wasn't aware at the time that Fake Crash Bandicoot had the worst stats in the game - 02/07 in everything - though I assume that being slower than Crunch, Tiny, and Dingodile would make him better at handling corners, at least in theory. Since I have seen uploads of people racing as him on the Internet. And his crappy speed didn't really balance out his crappy handling quite the way you'd expect.
The love that Tag Team Racing is getting in the comments fills me with so much joy was my favourite game growing up playing split screen with my 2 friends after school, was honestly such a great feel good fun game, memories behind it are with me forever.❤️
CTTR is my favorite crash game. Let's see what i think of this look at it. Edit: THANK YOU FINALLY THE RECOGNITION THIS GAME DESERVED!!! I need to mention on top of the writing, the hint texts that the game gives you when you don't have required things in order to complete quests other than crystal quests for coins are also so fun to read. The writer is often thinking about how other characters would react if they were told about the player's quest and at some point, and i'm not joking, they get tired of making the hint texts and claims that they'll be leaving the game industry entirely. Which is most likely a joke.
Hey! You know about the Hitchhiker's Guide? SO DO I! And I shall keep following the words printed in large, friendly letters on its cover: DON'T PANIC.
Some things Maverick didn't go over: 1) Penta Penguin in CTR was treated as a Polar/Pura clone in the US versions, but in PAL & Japan copies, this was fixed to him being an All Maxed Stats driver 2) Velo in the GBA version of CNK is stupid hard. Granted he's hard in the Console versions but that Velo doesn't even compare to the amount of endless frustrations I've had with the GBA Velo
Crash Nitro Kart was the game that introduced me to Crash in the first place and the fact that it came back in Nitro Fueled, it made the child in my heart cry tears of joy.
One thing I didn't notice is the fact that CTTR's soundtrack is in acapella like with Twinsanity and also the fact that CTTR promoted friendlier racing than the original and CNK. Like at the end of the day when you play CTR there is only one winner that will win the race so it is good as a competitive game. CTTR you can just bring a friend over to play and tag team against the A.I. Also while Mario Kart 8 was inspired by the zero-gravity racing stuff, Sonic Racing also adopted the kart team element from CNK.
Most of my time with crash as a kid was from CTR and Tag team racing. I also played the Crash 1 demo on a demo disc I had. CTR was also my first Kart racer and I didn't play Mario cart until circuit on the GBA. I absolutely loved the story of tag team and I enjoyed the death cinematic a lot.
So I remembered playing a crash racing game as a kid, and all my life I never played it again, I always thought I was a kid so I remembered whichever one it was being way different than it actually is... Now I realize I played all three and mixed them together in my head

Tell you the truth, Tag Team Racing is one of my favorites due to the unique Gunner Driver mechanic.

Yet, Tawna is still friends with Crash
Ostensibly the out-of-universe reason is that she was too sexy.
@@joelimitsuandyoshi
You can still be friends with your exes tho, not everyone separates on bad terms
Thats not what happened moron x.x it was explained that they replaced Tawna with Coco because of Tawnas figure x.x
My theory for Tawna (pre-N. Same Trilogy version) dumping Crash Bandicoot in favour of Pinstripe is that she was acting like a damsel in distress at that time rather than actually making an effort to defend herself when everyone else can (I know she’s a woman and the only female in the original game (which is why I think it’s sexist and not as good as people say even though it’s certainly not without it’s good qualities), but come on!

In tag team I always loved clashing with Crunch so I could use his awesome machine gun
Crunch's weapon was my favourite for the longest time.
@@BenjaMage I used Crunch’s machine gun a lot as well.
Emperor Velo is actually one of the most competent villains in Crash Bandicoot series. I gave a full elaboration about him in my Top 5 Best and Worst One-Time Crash Characters list in DeviantArt(I should rename that list since Nitro-Fueled has Nitro Kart characters). And UNLIKE Oxide, Velo doesn't cheat in his race and I NEVER had that much issue with his weapons since he doesn't spam them that much. It's the track itself that makes Velo race the hardest boss in the entire series.
Did I just watch some random person on the internet talk about a bandicoot drive a car
Yes
And I liked it
No wonder Tag Team Racing has my favorite version of N. Gin.
Also YOU LUCKY DOG.
25:30 Holy Crap! I didn’t even know there was a health bar in that game! And I played it a lot while growing up, great video dude, you earned a sub
Loved these games during my childhood. Man time flys, but hey, I can't wait to revisit an old classic of mine soon, so I'm with you on that black.
Tag Team Racing was creepy in my opinion but i had a lot of fun, i think it was my favourite one cause i used to play it in co-op with my best friend
Wait for Crash Bandicoot/Coco Bandicoot as DLC on Smash Ultimate
Crash Tag-Team Racing HUB world was the best! I wish a remake of it, but just keeping the hub, and redoing the race stuff
0:47 My friends still remember how loud I was screaming and jumping and just generally freaking all the way out. That was a MASSIVE nuclear train of nostalgia.
Crash tag team racing is my favourite crash game alongside with twinsanity
I only played nitro kart and tag team racing, but honestly i loved tag team racing so much, i loved the fact that you could just wreak havock by just merging with someone, and having a hub world where you unlocked shortcuts for tracks, i thought it was genius, though i know some would like to dive straight into the action, but my favorite mode was the stunt one, i dont know, i just loved beating my old high score, or try to finnaly land a quad backflip, something like that, but if there was one thing i would change it would be the bot difficulty, yeah they where way to easy. Maybe the controls too, but i adapted to them way quicker than i should of.
Crash team racing and Tag team racing were really fun. Crash nitro kart is like Space Jam?! I didn't notice that!
YYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! CRASH TAG TEAM RACING IS MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD AND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GAME I EVER GREW UP WITH!! THANK YOU FOR SHEDDING GOOD LIGHT IN IT!! ITS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE GAME AND CRASH GAME IVE EVER HELD! GOSH EVEN IF ITS CHILDISH TO OBLIVION AND BACK, ITS MY COMEDY AND TIES IN WELL AFTER CRASH TWIN INSANITY!
With Nitro Kart having been one of my first video games, hearing that opening music is some great nostalgia
20:37 *Baked Ham in a Wood Chipper.*
I played one of the older racing games with my cousins when I was younger. I remember playing as Coco and there being an ice track.
It's cool to see some videos from you! Hope you're doing great in your classes!
Looking forward to Pasadena and Nina to come to Nitro Fueled.
I've only had CTR and CTTR, but I LOVEEEEEDDDD CTTR!! The stunt mode and the turrets were my favorite parts! CTR is no doubt the greatest, but CTTR was fantastic to me too!
Now I loved tag team, but not cuz the races, cuz the stunt arena. I LOVED THAT MODE!
Two of these games are my childhood fav crash racing games thanks man. 👍👍
CTTR was crazy game: not only did the creators of the game make a gunner-driver mechanic where you OR the cpu can fuse and defuse at any given time, it’s how they made ALL CARS FUSE a certain look. The gunner mechanic was like item box but you can fuse anytime you like hell you didn’t even need to to win a race.
Also your comment on the portal bosses for CTR, esp Ripperoo, technically teach the player all the mechanics they need to know all in one race-tnt crates can come off you if you bounce enough aka the start to the drift mechanic; Ripperroo doesn’t really progress that fast ahead of you if you are behind; Ripperoo speeds up of you the player are ahead and this is only attainable if the player utilized and understands the drift-mini boost mechanics :) Ripperoo being the first portal boss was imo the best idea for the game since it’s the first boss race where the player has to showcase what they have learned or need to learn in order to become one of the fastest racers in the galaxy. And hell, you’re gonna really need to master those mechanics esp boosting cuz OG Oxide was MUCH harder than CTRNF Oxide I can tell you that much.
Édit: and yes I know it’s an old video but CTR was the first kart racer where some racing obstacles can be used towards cutting tracks (not shortcuts-big difference)
The first time I played Crash Nitro Kart after learning how to powerslide boost, I was quite disappointed in how quickly 3 boosts etc. turn into 0 boosts. And I was also disappointed when I discovered that reaching 50 boosts in Velo's Citadel counted for nothing. One of the two controls that I was using also wasn't very good which further added to the difficulty. But after multiple attempts, I did manage to unlock Fake Crash and Pura.
I'm amazed at the number of people that criticise the Team Race mechanic. Since I always thought it was good. And the Team Frenzy mechanic makes up for the fact that you can't concentrate on other things like boosting. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get all the crystals in Desert Storm within the time limit. So I couldn't unlock Zam and by extension Velo. And I couldn't memorise the exact position of the shortcut in Hyper Spaceway so I couldn't beat N. Tropy's last ghost.
I unlocked Zem, Polar, and Dingodile in 2007, and Fake Crash and Pura in 2011. I almost unlocked N. Tropy in 2012. Unfortunately I haven't found anyone that has owned the game since. So I haven't been able to play it. Regarding the race tracks, I find Coco Bandicoot, Doctor N. Gin, Nitrous Oxide, Zam, N. Trance, Polar, and Pura to be the best drivers for Out of Time, Thunder Struck, Android Alley, Electron Avenue, and Hyper Spaceway. And possibly Doctor Nefarious Tropy, Zem, and Velo.
Though I haven't played as Velo since 2007, I haven't played as N. Tropy at all, and I haven't played as Zem since 2012. Plus I wasn't aware at the time that Zem was actually better at handling than Crunch Bandicoot, Tiny Tiger, and Dingodile who all have crappy handling. At one point Zem's handling did feel lighter than Dingodile's but I assumed it was just my imagination. Because it never occurred to me that he would have better handling than the other three main characters of the Advanced class.
Nitrous Oxide and N. Trance are all rounders with 04/07 in everything. So they can race on pretty much every track without any issues. Except they are a bit slow compared to Zem and Dingodile. Pity you can't play as Nitrous Oxide or N. Trance in Adventure Mode. Crash Bandicoot and Doctor Neo Cortex don't have any major weaknesses but they aren't as good at handling as Nitrous Oxide or N. Trance.
I also wasn't aware at the time that Fake Crash Bandicoot had the worst stats in the game - 02/07 in everything - though I assume that being slower than Crunch, Tiny, and Dingodile would make him better at handling corners, at least in theory. Since I have seen uploads of people racing as him on the Internet. And his crappy speed didn't really balance out his crappy handling quite the way you'd expect.
The love that Tag Team Racing is getting in the comments fills me with so much joy was my favourite game growing up playing split screen with my 2 friends after school, was honestly such a great feel good fun game, memories behind it are with me forever.❤️
15:00 He's a mime, and are you a genius for calling him a clown father ?
Nice video! I love CTR as well as CNK ("DOES YOUR MOTHER TIE YOUR SHOES AS WELL?"). CTTR got me so confused...but it was hilarious
Now I’m just waiting for the Crash 2 review.
It was nice knowing you
CTTR is my favorite crash game. Let's see what i think of this look at it.
Edit:
THANK YOU FINALLY THE RECOGNITION THIS GAME DESERVED!!!
I need to mention on top of the writing, the hint texts that the game gives you when you don't have required things in order to complete quests other than crystal quests for coins are also so fun to read. The writer is often thinking about how other characters would react if they were told about the player's quest and at some point, and i'm not joking, they get tired of making the hint texts and claims that they'll be leaving the game industry entirely. Which is most likely a joke.
I use to own most of the Crash games on the PS2, and Tag Team Racing was the one I played the most, so I am happy that it still holds up really well
Hey! You know about the Hitchhiker's Guide? SO DO I! And I shall keep following the words printed in large, friendly letters on its cover: DON'T PANIC.
Excuse me but Nitro Fueled comes out in 6 days. It's time to panic. (But a good panic)
3:04 - Your impression of N. Oxide is pretty spot on!
Some things Maverick didn't go over:
1) Penta Penguin in CTR was treated as a Polar/Pura clone in the US versions, but in PAL & Japan copies, this was fixed to him being an All Maxed Stats driver
2) Velo in the GBA version of CNK is stupid hard. Granted he's hard in the Console versions but that Velo doesn't even compare to the amount of endless frustrations I've had with the GBA Velo
He also didn't go over the fact that in the GBA version you can play as the bosses (he did show footage but didn't say it outright)
@@seabossgaming5405 Oh forgot to mention that. Must've forgot to mention that tidbit too. GBA CNK is actually not too bad in all honesty.
i loved the og ctr, and loved how tag team was both a racer an a plataformer crash, i also didnt even knew nitro kart existed til recently
This is the only person I have seen who still like CTTR
Crash Nitro Kart was the game that introduced me to Crash in the first place and the fact that it came back in Nitro Fueled, it made the child in my heart cry tears of joy.
"Sweet mercy and Walnuts, that hurt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
One thing I didn't notice is the fact that CTTR's soundtrack is in acapella like with Twinsanity and also the fact that CTTR promoted friendlier racing than the original and CNK. Like at the end of the day when you play CTR there is only one winner that will win the race so it is good as a competitive game. CTTR you can just bring a friend over to play and tag team against the A.I.
Also while Mario Kart 8 was inspired by the zero-gravity racing stuff, Sonic Racing also adopted the kart team element from CNK.
Most of my time with crash as a kid was from CTR and Tag team racing. I also played the Crash 1 demo on a demo disc I had. CTR was also my first Kart racer and I didn't play Mario cart until circuit on the GBA. I absolutely loved the story of tag team and I enjoyed the death cinematic a lot.
So I remembered playing a crash racing game as a kid, and all my life I never played it again, I always thought I was a kid so I remembered whichever one it was being way different than it actually is... Now I realize I played all three and mixed them together in my head
Oh my God!!! Your impression of Oxide is just so perfect and acurate!
I have a mental book of phrases to use in certain situations.
"Breathe consistently you fool." Is now in that book.
