In this game similar to Mario Kart, you play as one of 8 characters from the Crash universe in a racing game. Your mission is to win races around the world and defeat boss drivers that have been previous bosses in previous Crash games. When your beat the four boss drivers, you get to fight N.Oxide, the crazed alien that wants to turn Earth into a parking lot. You get to play as Crash, Coco, Polar, Pura, Dr. Cortex, Dr. N-Gin, Tiny, or Dingodile. There are also a couple of secret drivers you can unlock by complete certain tasks, but those are mainly secret. But I can give you one hint, some of them have to do with Gem Battles and Time Trials. Breaking crates on the race track give you powerup like speed boosts or missles. Collecting 10 Wumpa Fruit by breaking the striped crates will increase speed and give your powerups a boost. This is the last Crash game made by Naughty Dog.
