Adventure
Adventure mode is the single player story mode of the game. At the beginning you choose one character from the roster and find your self in an open world enviroment. From here the player can access races through warp zones similar to those seen in Crash Bandicoot 3. After the player has finished first they can either go and play unlocked levels or complete Time Trial races or CTR races. Time Trial has the player attempt 3 Laps round the track in a short specific time, the only way to achieve these is to master the quickest paths and smash time crates which stop the counter. In CTR races the player has to collect CTR tokens scattered around the level whilst still coming first place. Finally the other way to get CTR tokens in through challenges in adventure, the player must speed around the battle levels and collect crystals under a certain time limit. Completing races continues the plot of the game and unlocks more races and enviroments. After a set amount of races have been completed Boss Races become availiable from famous Bosses in the Crash franchise. Once beaten the Bosses open new enviroments for the player with new warp zones and challenges. While the player does not need to complete Time Trials and CTR token races they are used to unlock additional characters later in the game.
On the main menu screen, if the player types in the cheat code, "Hold L1 R1 and press Down, Circle, Triangle, Triangle, Right" they will unlock a Spyro the Dragon 2: Gateway to Glimmer demo. Both CTR and Spyro 2 were published by Sony Computer Entertainment.. This would be continued in other Crash Bandicoot and Spyro games, where demos where offered for cheat codes. This was stopped when Sony dropped both games.
Crash Team Racing was Crash Bandicoot's first kart racing game. It was released Sept. 30, 1999.
Plot
Crash Team Racing opens with a cutscene showing each of the characters in the world of Crash Bandicoot enjoying what they are up to when suddenly they are teleported away. They are all shocked to see themselves gathered in one area, friend and foe alike. Before they have a chance to start attacking each other, a giant screen lights up in front of them, an alien by the name of Nitros Oxide declares that he wants to race the best driver in this world and that if he, Nitros Oxide, wins he will turn the world into a giant parking lot. He says that he doesn't know who the best racer in the land is so he wants everyone to race against each other and he will challenge the winner. Once the player collects of all the Time Relics, CTR Tokens and Crystals, Oxide admits defeat and returns to his home planet.Adventure
