Rocky Road

Rocky Road (こうやの バランスいわ lit. Balance Rock in the Wilderness in Japanese) is the third battle arena in Crash Team Racing and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. It is an oval-shaped arena featuring a cliff edge that circles the entire canyon. A large stone balances on a precipice in the center; in Nitro-Fueled it is replaced by a silo. The cliff can be reached via ramps and bridges connected to a rocky center hill where the player is placed at the start of the battle/crystal challenge. This arena's portal is in Glacier Park, directly across from Komodo Joe's challenge. The general theme of this arena is a rocky desert, similar to Dingo Canyon.
