This remains the final ''Crash Bandicoot'' kart racing game, though Radical Entertainment maintained development of the series' regular platform games through 2008's ''VideoGame/CrashMindOverMutant'', albeit with major art design and gameplay shifts.

Despite some praise for the "clashing" mechanic, more varied gameplay and graphics, and it's appeal to younger gamers, ''CTTR'' received mixed reviews once again.

* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: The other heroes look completely exasperated when [[TheDitz Crash]] [[spoiler: deactivates Von Clutch a second time and apathetically rides off]] during the ending. Even [[BigBrotherWorship Coco]] pulls a frustrated FacePalm, marking about the only time she doesn't find Crash's silliness ActuallyPrettyFunny.

* AbsenteeActor: The first game neither Tiny or Dingodile appear since their first appearance (discounting their multiplayer exclusivity in ''N Tranced''). Uka Uka is also nowhere to be seen and Aku Aku only makes a very brief cameo as a mask worn by a tribesman on the Tiki Turbo track.

* [[GoKartingWithBowser Go-Karting with Neo Cortex]]: Yet again. You even have to help the bad guys set up their vehicles.

* [[LavaIsBoilingKoolAid Lava is Spicy Hot Sauce]]: In a more literal example, the "lava" in T. Wrecks is actually just hot sauce (and a mild variety too). Crash even drinks and swims in it in a Die-o-Rama before [[spoiler: the shark from Mystery Island appears out of nowhere and eats him]].

** [[spoiler: To add insult to injury, the cutscene of Willie escaping to his ship is named "The Final Showdown". Furthermore, the very next scene is Cortex, N. Gin and Nina appearing in a large doom-vehicle, which is instantly defeated in said cut-scene.]]

* EpicFail: During the credits, N.Gin reveals a few "details" about specific individuals:

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: The "Die-o-Rama" [[FullMotionVideo FMVs]], which are pretty much an expansive tribute to Crash's previous slapstick deaths throughout the series. These cutscenes have Crash being maimed, shredded, smashed, crushed, blown up, [[AnvilOnHead Safed, Pianoed]], poisoned, [[SuperDrowningSkills drowned]], [[{{Fartillery}} Farted]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext to death]], eaten and more. If you feel bad for him, don't worry, [[UnexplainedRecovery he gets better]].

* RememberTheNewGuy: Yet another game that introduces more mutant {{Funny Animal}}s that have never been stated as being created by Cortex or any other doctor in the series. Then again since the park also houses a German cyborg and a giant anthropomorphic Wumpa fruit it doesn't seem much out of the unusual.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Crash has a much meaner sense of humour in this game, pranking and tormenting Park Drones. Don't worry about him getting away with it though, the game also allows you to force Crash into [[TheManyDeathsOfYou hilarious and brutal (for E10+, anyway) death scenarios]].

* UranusIsShowing: Someone on the development team must have ''really'' loved Uranus jokes, considering every track in Astro Land has "Uranus" in its name [[note]]The track names are Craters on Uranus, Rings on Uranus, and Uranus' Mine[[/note]].

* WentToTheGreatXInTheSky: After Ebenezer Von Clutch deactivates from running without his Black Heart Power Gem too long in the game's ending, Pasadena O'Possum laments that it's time for him to go to the big demolition derby in the sky.

* RegionalBonus: The Japanese version utilised a special skin for Crash based on his Japanese design. The Western versions also have it as a secret unlockable.

* VillainBall: [[spoiler:Willie is incensed enough by everyone's idiocy to confess and brag that he was the culprit when everyone else thought Crash did it, including Crash himself.]]

* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: The other heroes look completely exasperated when Crash [[spoiler: deactivates Von Clutch a second time and apathetically rides off]] during the ending. Even [[BigBrotherInstinct Coco]] pulls a frustrated FacePalm.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Many of the [[TheManyDeathsOfYou Die-o-Ramas]] involve Crash doing things that range from [[DisproportionateRetribution blatant "law" breaking]], [[TooDumbToLive incredibly idiotic behavior]] or [[TookALevelInJerkass just being plain cruel]], which always results in Crash getting maimed in over-the-top ways. It 's sometimes [[InvertedTrope inverted]] though, mostly with the Baby Yetis and the the frozen Yeti.

''Crash Tag Team Racing'' is a racing/platformer hybrid video game released in 2005. It is (technically) the sixth ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' platformer, and the first Crash installment developed by Radical Entertainment.

The game consists not only of a standard racing game, but a short platforming adventure, largely consisting of Crash earning currency (in the form of Wumpa Coins) by collecting items and completing missions, usually to unlock more tracks and bonuses for racing modes. Despite being the third racing game in the series, it plays noticeably different from the previous two. While previous instalments were standard ''MarioKart'' type affair, this is a more standard physics based racer, and is made unique by the gimmick of "clashing" cars with another player as a temporary cooperative.
