Unlock N. Tropy and Oxide's ghosts in CTR Nitro-Fueled! Get the best times on every track with these essential tips on boosting, shortcuts, and hazard avoidance.
Alright, so you're ready to tackle the Time Trials in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled? This is where things get serious, but don't sweat it! It's all about shaving off those precious seconds to unlock some seriously cool stuff. Basically, you'll need to beat N. Tropy's ghost first, and then once you've done that, you can go for Oxide's ghost. Each track requires you to go through it three times, aiming for the best possible time.
A big part of succeeding here is knowing the tracks inside and out. Pay attention to any hazards, like the ones on Sewer Speedway – figuring out how to navigate around them without losing speed is crucial. You'll also want to get really good at boost-chaining, hitting those nitro boosts up to three times in a row. And of course, if a track has shortcuts, mastering those is a must!
