[edit] Gameplay

The gameplay of this game is very different to CTR/CNK. This game's main highlight is the ability to merge 2 cars. As a result, one of the players shoots other cars while the other drives. Also, it is possible to explore the MotorWorld in adventure mode.

[edit] Characters

There are 8 playable characters in the game: Crash Bandicoot, Coco Bandicoot, Crunch Bandicoot, Dr. Neo Cortex, Nina Cortex, Dr. N. Gin, Pasadena O' Possum and Ebenezer Von Clutch. and 3 unplayable characters: Willie Wumpa Cheeks, Chick Gizzard Lips and Stew.

Crash- More immature personality, enjoys torturing other people and creatures, especially chickens.

Cortex- Even shorter, seems to be interested in churros and also seems to be interested about his backside.

N.Gin- Has gray skin and black hair. Depressed and gothic, enjoys people getting hurt or himself as well as a feminine personality judging from the ballerina costume available as an alternate costume.

Coco- She is depicted more preppy and a bit of "daddy girl" tendencies.

Nina- More mature and now gothic, she likes violence and sadness. She never talks in the cutscenes.

Crunch- Now has a personality very similar to Mr. T, including a Mr. T costume.

Pasadena O'Possum- A country girl who harbors a crush on Crash.

Ebenezer Von Clutch- A german cyborg. Apparently he has all the games.

Wille Wumpa Cheeks- Von Clutch's mascot who later betrays him and reviles he stole the black power gem.

Chick Gizzard Lips- The chicken commentator who talks the most in his reports.

Stew- Chick's co-commentator. He also keeps changing his hair or hat. In one of the missions it turns out he has a large wife.

[edit] Story

Ebenezer Von Clutch, a German cyborg, has created a highly dangerous racing theme park. However, Von Clutch's Black Heart Power Gem has been stolen. He sets up a race to find it, but nobody enters. It is the morning of the last day that Von Clutch can keep on function, and Doctor Neo Cortex is chasing Crash, Coco and Crunch Bandicoot. They crash through the gates of the MotorWorld, and Von Clutch pesruades them to enter. To set up each part of the MotorWorld also requires a missing Power Gem they need to find.

  • Plot or ending details follow.

Crash had just collected the gem for Astro Land, the park's final land. Coco finds a link between all the stolen Power Gems. There was a trail of Wumpa Whip at the scene of every stolen Power Gem. Crash was drinking Wumpa Whip at the time, so naturally, everyone blames him. Willy Wumpa Cheeks then gives himself up. He revelead the Black Gem in his bag and he ran into Astro Land. Crash soon finds him about to blast off with the power gem in a rocket, so he pulls a lever to stop it taking off. Crunch picks Willie up by his nose. Pasadena commands: "All righty you sour fruit, hand over that black power gem!". Cortex then shoots Willie from a machine, even though this was the only time that machine had appeared. Cortex tries to shoot the Bandicoots, but Crunch holds up a piece of metal to defend. Crash then throws a chicken into a rotor of the machine which causes it to malafunction and crash. The bandicoots are awarded the park but Coco returns it to Von Clutch, only to find he had stopped working. Meanwhile, Crash is drinking some Wumpa Whip, and coughs up on the gem, which lands convienently inside Von Clutch. He comes back to life and starts singing, proclaming free passes to the MotorWorld to the bandicoots. Crash then pats him on the back but does it too hard and the gem falls out of Von Clutch's body. Crash then goes back to the car he had at the begining and drives away by himself.

[edit] Nintendo DS version

A Nintendo DS version was, at one moment, confirmed, apparently to be developed by a company called Sensory Sweeps. However, this became cancelled for unknown reasons. No trailers or screenshots were ever released for the cancelled Nintendo DS version.
