Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart?
riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoCTR had two methods of play:
-
Casually playing a kart game and using fun items.
-
Learning the mechanics of nitro reserves to maintain a high top speed for as long as possible.
You start at 1 until you realize 2 exists.

I don’t think nitro reserves were a mechanic in the original CTR

They absolutely were. There are even videos describing it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=od-OQGOXtfY

Appreciate that! I don’t recall there ever being anything explaining that in the game - I played through it and unlocked all the characters, beat the Tropy ghosts and some of the Oxide ghosts, but never heard of this stuff the entire time.

I didn’t know about it either, but when I heard about it before nitro fueled released I knew what they were talking about.
It was more of something I felt but didn’t fully grasp at the time. Like a “boost as much as possible and the boost gets way better” thing.

Yes they were.
