The game is the ninth installment in the Crash Bandicoot series. It is an indirect sequel to Crash Team Racing and the first full motion video based game in the series. The game's story centers on the abduction of Crash Bandicoot, along with other characters in the series, by the ruthless dictator Emperor Velo XXVII. Threatening to destroy the Earth if they refuse, he forces them all to race in his gigantic coliseum for the entertainment of his subjects.

The orange wonder from down under is back for another adventure, this time from behind the wheel of a go-kart. Inspired by 1999's hit CTR (Crash Team Racing) for the original PlayStation, Crash Nitro Kart offers four-player racing action in a variety of game modes. Players will compete in cup challenges, time trials, and an assortment of multiplayer battles. While speeding along the predominately outdoor environments, players can run over such items as wumpa fruit to increase speed, ramps to leap over chasms, and crates to acquire power-ups for offense or defense. In addition to Crash Bandicoot, featured characters include Crunch, Coco, Dingodile, Neo Cortex, and more.

Choose from various game modes, from the straight into the action Arcade mode to Adventure mode, following Crash and the gang in the story to save Earth. Race against four friends in multiplayer battle modes, plus connect to the Gamecube for extra options and upload your high scores to the internet ranking system.

Features:
* Compete with up to four players in a variety of game modes that include cup challenges and time trials
* Collect wumpa fruit to increase speed, utilize ramps to leap over chasms, and break through crates for power-ups
* Play as Crash, Crunch, Coco, Dingodile, Neo Cortex, and more
