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.

Appearances
Racing Cups have appeared in every racing game except Crash Tag Team Racing.

Crash Team Racing
In this game, cups allowed for up to four players to race together with a total of eight racers. If every cup was won at a certain difficulty, a Battle Arena became available to use. Winning on easy difficulty awarded the player with Parking Lot, medium unlocking The North Bowl, and hard unlocking Lab Basement.

Crash Cup
This cup features Polar Pass, N. Gin Labs, Hot Air Skyway, and Slide Coliseum.

Cups made a reappearance in Crash Nitro Kart, where they functioned in a similar manner to the cups in Crash Team Racing. The main difference, however, is that these cups lack a fourth race.

Wumpa Cup
The easiest cup in the game. This cup features Inferno Island, Meteor Gorge, and Assembly Lane, the same set of tracks featured in the Red Gem Cup.

The second-hardest cup. This cup features Tiny Temple, Thunder Struck, and Android Alley, the same set of tracks featured in the Purple Gem Cup.

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.
