* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Nitros Oxide was created to be a HateSink in order to kill the franchise, since Creator/NaughtyDog knew this was it for them anyways and they thought fans wouldn't take an alien character seriously (see ''Recap/AsterixAndTheFallingSky'' or ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]'' for why this is justified). [[SpringtimeForHitler It didn't work, however]], and instead he became one of the most popular characters in the whole series (partly thanks to being the only racer in the game you can't actually unlock). He would, however, become playable in later games, including [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled the remake of this game]].
** The Trophy Girls, Isabella, Megumi, Ami and Liz, are surprisingly popular for only appearing in one game for a while. People lamented their removal from the victory screen in the aforementioned remake, only to cheer when it turned out they were PromotedToPlayable and now known as the Nitro Squad.

The Scrappy is always unintentional. Hate Sink is not.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Jason Rubin, one of the creators, notably stated he thought by making Oxide an alien, they would have jumped the shark and caused the series to fail, as Naughty Dog wasn't sure they could take the game much further and intended to torpedo the series' future chances with what they saw as a ludicrous character (this is due to bad blood developing between them and Universal Interactive Studios). ''Crash Team Racing'' received high sales and high ratings from multiple gaming review sites, including notes that, while it added nothing new to the mascot racer genre, ''CTR'' did some things better than other similar games did (including the original ''VideoGame/MarioKart''). Meanwhile, Oxide himself became an EnsembleDarkhorse due to his cartoony charm still making him an ideal fit for the Crash universe despite (or even because of) his weird concept, with later Crash titles even expanding the "intergalactic racing" premise of the game.

Added DiffLines:

** The "WAIONG" sound made by Oxide's spaceship in the cutscenes has an old school science-fiction vibe that is oddly satisfying to hear.
