Racing Cups

Racing Cups are tournaments in the Crash Racing Series that allow players to participate in a series of four races with an accumulating score for each race. At the end of the tournament, the racer with the highest score gets crowned the winner.

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D
The structure of cups in Crash Nitro Kart 3D is identical to the structure in Crash Nitro Kart expect for the return of a fourth track and the lack of a fourth cup. The letters C R A S and H can also be collected on certain tracks. Collecting these letters allows for the player to unlock a certain character.

N. Tropy Cup
The easiest cup in the game, and the first available cup in the game.

Wumpa Cup

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
This game combines the cups from Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart, with some slight differences: the Crash Nitro Kart cups now feature four tracks as opposed to three, and conversely, there is only three Crash Nitro Kart cups as opposed to four. The Wumpa Cup is now replaced by the Velo Cup, which adds in Hyper Speedway as its last track, and the Aku Cup and Uka Cup both replace the Nitro Cup, with the former putting Android Alley as the first track and Barin Ruins as the last track, and the latter having Electron Avenue as its last track. Also, the track Clockwork Wumpa is completely omitted from any of the aforementioned Crash Nitro Kart cups, having been part of the Nitro Cup in the original Crash Nitro Kart.
