Oxide Station

Oxide Station is the final track in Crash Team Racing. It's the track where the boss race against Nitros Oxide takes place as it is his home track. This is also the final race in the Yellow Gem Cup (as are Dingo Canyon, Tiny Arena and Hot Air Skyway). All of the letters for the CTR Challenge are on jumps, making them harder to get and giving you only three chances at each. This track has a different crate layout compared to all of the other tracks. Instead of Weapons Crates being in rows of four with Wumpa Crates placed in strategic points, they replace one of the four Weapons Crates. There are no intentional shortcuts on this track; the one unintentional shortcut is close to the part where you must jump through space. After driving through the tunnel, drive up the upcoming ramp and jump to your left. If you do this correctly, you will land on the part of the track that comes after the space jump, giving you a huge lead. The track is unavailable for multiplayer races but can be raced on in the arcade mode.
