Dragon Mines

Dragon Mines is the tenth race course in Crash Team Racing. It is raced on in the Crystal Cup in arcade mode (as well Sewer Speedway, Tiger Temple and N. Gin Labs) and the purple (with Roo's Tubes, Papu's Pyramid and Hot Air Skyway) Gem Cup. It is Komodo Joe's home track.

At the start of the race the player goes down a big hill, past an underground lake and stalagmites. Next, the player encounters a minecart track where minecarts might even hit the player. After that a spiral bridge is ascended. More minecarts are at the top. And then the player arrives back to the starting line. It is possible to drive through the minecart route from before the spiral bridge to after but without protection or turbos the player will get squashed.

In adventure mode, the course is located in the Glacier Park. It's also the boss stage of Komodo Joe.
