The North Bowl

The North Bowl is the 2nd unlockable arena in Crash Team Racing. As its name suggests, it is a bowl shaped arena and has a large igloo in the centre. It has a similar theme to the snow levels from Crash Bandicoot 2 as well as the race tracks Polar Pass and Blizzard Bluff. The arena has icy patches tohat make battling more difficult. It is unlocked by winning all of the arcade cups (Wumpa, Nitro, Crystal and Crash Cup) on medium mode. This arena is possibly the most unique and creative arena idea from Crash Team Racing in that the arena is shaped like a bowl and that the shape is creatively fitted into the arena's name. The arena also has totems lying and standing in some patches of the arena.

Trivia

 * The battle course's name is a pun on the North Pole.
 * It would have fitted for this arena to have been switched with Rocky Road in adventure mode due to an ice theme in Glacier Park. A possible reason for this is it may have intended to be in adventure mode, but removed due to difficulty of the crystal challenge or to avoid overkill.
 * This arena can be unlocked by completing all 4 arcade cups on medium mode or by entering a cheat code (right, right, left, triangle, right, down, down at the main menu whilst holding L1 and R1). This cheat code also unlocks Turbo Track, Parking Lot and Lab Basement.
 * Due to this arena only existing in Battle Mode, the arena can only be played on a multiplayer screen. This trait is shared with the other two unlockable arenas.
