Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Crash: Nitro Kart was developed by Vicarious Visions as a spiritual successor to Crash Team Racing, carrying forward the kart-racing legacy after Naughty Dog’s departure from the franchise. While it received mixed comparisons to its predecessor, it gained a following for its unique track layouts and multiplayer focus. Vicarious Visions would later go on to remake both titles as part of the acclaimed Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled in 2019.
