Gem Cup

Gem Cups are special tournament races in Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart. Winning one of them gets you a Gem. In CTR, there are five Gem Cups to get Gems of different colors. The colors of Gems are: red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. In CNK, this is the same, except yellow is no longer present. Winning a Gem Cup also unlocks a new racer to use outside of advenure mode. In order to access a Gem Cup, you must have four Tokens of a certain color.
