Five game modes include Adventure, Time Trial, Arcade, Vs., and Battle.

Crash is joined by his sweetheart Coco, the evil Cortex, and a combination of animal friends and dastardly bosses from previous games, each individually rated in speed, acceleration, and handling. The famous orange marsupial returns for a fourth and final game on the PlayStation, this time from behind the wheel of a go-kart.
