Storyline
The Bandicoots are having a usual day; Crash is sleeping, Coco is working on a new kart, and Crunch is talking to Aku Aku when suddenly a bright light appears and the Bandicoots house is warped off into space with all of them in it. Meanwhile at Cortex Castle Dr. Neo Cortex is trying to think of a plan to get rid of the Bandicoots when all of the sudden a bright light appears, like it did at the Bandicoots house, ripping a part off Cortex Castle ,which contained Tiny Tiger, Dr. Neo Cortex, and N.Gin at the time, and warping it up into space. Then both teams find themselves in a large coliseum, on another planet, with thousands strange alien people watching them and cheering. Then a giant hologram of a face appeares in front of them. The alien talking through the hologram calls himself Emperor Velo the 27th and says he's the ruler of the galaxy they are at currently. He goes on to say that his people hunger for entertainment and he wants the Bandicoots and Cortex's team to race as their entertainment. And both teams would need to race to gain each of the four worlds he chose key and defeat the Galactic Champion if they were to regain there freedom. And if they refused to race Velo said that he would destroy earth. So then both teams accepted the challenge and where off to the race tracks.
