Timer - When activated it will slow down all other racers to crawling speed for a short time. Turbo - A turbo will give the player a prolonged burst of speed like the boost gained from power sliding.
When upgraded by wumpa fruit the boost lasts for longer. As well as the turbo gained from the power up turbo, boost can also be gained from a few different techniques:. Turbo Start - At the beginning of each race it is possible to gain a boost right from the go by timing acceleration with the lights.
If the acceleration is timed to the half-way point between the last red light and the green it will result in an instant boost. Power-sliding Turbos - Pressing and holding the R1 button around a corner will make the player perform a powerslide.
When the smoke from the exhaust turns black the player can activate a small turbo by pressing the L1 button. They can do three boosts in one powerslide at a time. This technique is essential to getting the best times on tracks. Jump Turbos - Jump turbos are performed by hopping off the top of a ramp, hump or ridge and then landing. The boost kicks in once the player lands.
The longer they are in the air the more boost they get when they land. Jumping and landing on flat ground is not enough to enact the jump boost.
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. Crash Team Racing was Crash Bandicoot's first kart racing game. It is also the last Crash game to be developed by Naughty Dog. 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.
Adventure Adventure mode is the single-player story mode of the game. The adventure mode more on this later will keep you playing for weeks.
CTR has a number of different racing modes. The two that really stand out as impressive to me are the four-player split screen mode and the adventure. First, the four-player split screen mode is great -- it is amazing to me that they were able to squeeze the juice out of the PSX to pull off something like this. There is only a bit of frame drop but it never interferes with the gameplay. So if you enjoy getting a few buddies huddled around the PSX with the multi-tap, you will have quite a few late nights with this game.
The second mode that I found to be outstanding was the adventure mode. The adventure mode is made up of 16 different tracks and takes place across a world map. You will drive your Kart around the world map jumping into different races. If you win a race, you receive a trophy and other races or areas of the map will open up.
Sounds pretty generic so far, right? Well, to spice things up a little, each race has three different prizes that can be collected. The first is the trophy, which is won by coming in first place during a race. After winning the trophy, you can go back to the same track and try winning a Relic race. This has you trying to win a relic obviously. You are thrown out on the track by yourself and you have to try to complete three laps under a predetermined time limit.
But that is not all. If you just drove from start to finish, you would never stand a chance. To give you a chance, the track is scattered with boxes that have the number 1, 2 or 3 on them.
If you hit one of these boxes, the clock will stop for the number of seconds on the box. So not only do you have to worry about finishing the race as quickly as possible, you also have to steer your way around the track, trying to hit these boxes to stop the clock. The third type of race is the CTR Challenge. This has you racing against a full field of eight racers.
Hidden across the tracks are the letters C-T-R. Oh, and I almost forgot, there is actually a fourth type of race. Occasionally, other racers will challenge you to a one on one race against them. If you come in first, you win a key.
So what is the point of winning relics, coins, and keys? A lot of the areas are closed off and you can't access them without the specified number of these items. So in order to finish the adventure, you will need to get good at all types of racing, not just beat the guy to the finish line racing. All I can say is that I was determined to get every coin, relic, and key in the game. That is how much fun it was. It is obvious that I really liked the game and I am sure it could go without mentioning but I will mention it anyway.
The Karts controlled well and were very easy to steer, slide, and use power-ups. Don't get me wrong though. It was not too easy. I guess the correct way to say it was that the controls and feel of the carts were well done.
You will never lose a race because the controls are not fair. Fun hours with the lovely Crash in front of you and who hates an attractive car ride?
Bite and get away from all thoughts and fantasies, and for a few hours, remember your childhood at the foot of this game. Related Posts.
