** King Chicken as well. While he comes across as your ordinary chicken with a crown, boggly eyes and the ability to drive a kart (somehow), some of his voicelines has him chuckle in a taunting manner.[[note]]Then again, schadenfreude isn't really anything new to the non-evolved animals, as Polar, Pura, Penta, Zam and Baby T can attest to.[[/note]] Also, he has the ability to get ''all'' of the invincibility masks available, good or evil, as his masks.

** Rilla Roo appears for the first time since ''Bash'' all the way back in 2000.

''Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled'' is a [[VideoGameRemake remake]] of Creator/NaughtyDog's UsefulNotes/PlayStation racing game ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing'' developed by Beenox. The game features the same updated graphics as the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy'', as well as a number of additional features, including characters and tracks from beyond the original game, kart customization, character skins, and online multiplayer; some of those features are taken from the two post-Naughty Dog era ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' racing games, ''VideoGame/CrashNitroKart'' and ''VideoGame/CrashTagTeamRacing''.

It was released on June 21, 2019 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/XboxOne.

*** Everyone from ''Nitro Kart'' is returning as playable. This includes some bosses playable only in the handheld versions of ''CNK'', with Spyro and Emperor Velo (both were also only playable in the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance version) joining them in the Spyro & Friends and Gasmoxia [=GPs=], respectively. Also counts as an AdaptationalEarlyAppearance due to them appearing in a remake of a Naughty Dog-era game when they originally debuted after Naughty Dog left the franchise after ''CTR''.

** Technically speaking, Baby Crash appears for the first time since the GoldenEnding of the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS version of ''Titans'' in 2007.

** The initial release of the game (or at least version 1.02) [[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/253551-crash-team-racing-nitro-fueled?search=corrupt has a nasty tendency to corrupt the save file]], caused by overflow bug affecting Time Trial ghost data. This was also apparently unique to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 version of the game due to the exclusive track.

* {{Retraux}}: Exclusive to the [=PS4=] are Crash, Coco and Cortex skins that dial back on the polygons, calling back to their original [=PS1=] days, low-poly karts, and Retro Stadium, which is the [=PS1=] version of Turbo Track with UsefulNotes/PlayStation logos spread around.

* VersionExclusiveContent: The [=PS4=] version of the game includes [[{{Retraux}} PS1-style skins]] for Crash, Coco, and Cortex as well as a retro version of the main Classic kart (comes in eight colours!) and a handful of UsefulNotes/PlayStation-themed stickers. It also has a [=PS1=]-style version of Turbo Track, called Retro Stadium here.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* ShooOutTheClowns: Justified for the Rustland GP's CTR TV report; while the entire event is more serious than usual, the studio's empty because Chick and Stew are racing, as shown in the following cinematic.

* TeensAreShort: Since Coco and Nina use modern versions of their classic designs, they are practically puny compared to many of the grownups in this game (''especially'' the [[StatuesqueStunner adult women]]). Ditto Yaya, who's even smaller!

** The Back N. Time Grand Prix adds a lot of references to ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.

** [[ChristmasEpisode Winter Festival]] Grand Prix: [[AcePilot Hasty]], [[MixAndMatchCritters Rilla Roo]], Yaya Panda, [[StraightManAndWiseGuy Chick and Stew]].

* PandaingToTheAudience: Polar has an alternate skin that recolors his fur to resemble a panda; another makes him resemble a red panda. Dingodile has a panda skin as well, although it's significantly less cute on him. Baby Crash has one as well. Eventually, the Winter Festival Grand Prix added Yaya Panda, who is this by default.

** [[ChristmasEpisode Winter Festival]] Grand Prix: [[AcePilot Hasty]], [[MixAndMatchCritters Rilla Roo]], [[PandaIngToTheAudience Yaya Panda]], [[StraightManAndWiseGuy Chick and Stew]].

* OffModel:
** Several of the character portraits look off compared to their in-game models:
*** Green Geary has a green chin in his portrait, but a purple chin in-game.
*** Red Zam has white eyeballs in his portrait, but yellow eyeballs in-game.
*** Von Clutch's megaphone remains orange throughout all his alternate colors, even though the portraits depict it with a different color for each of them.
*** Biker Tiny's sunglasses have transparent shades in their portrait, but black opaque shades in-game.
** Invoked with Emperor Velo: as part of a MythologyGag to his being OffModel in ''VideoGame/CrashNitroKart'''s cutscenes, the Gasmoxia GP intro depicts him with an orange goatee and eyebrows despite his in-game appearance having purple facial hair instead.
** Von Clutch's character sticker lacks the logo on his helmet.

** Other Secret Characters: [[FakeCutie Penta Penguin]], [[OddballDoppelganger Fake Crash]] and [[TimeMaster Dr. N. Tropy]].

* {{Expy}}: Baby Crash and Baby Coco being racers mirrors Baby Mario and Baby Luigi (among other babies such as Baby Peach) being playable in the ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' series, especially ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' and its five baby racers. They're also introduced alongside Baby T, who is himself an expy of Yoshi, another green dinosaur with a [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland connection]] to the baby version of the main hero.

** Other Secret Characters: Penta Penguin, [[OddballDoppelganger Fake Crash]] and [[TimeMaster Dr. N. Tropy]].
