Inferno Island

Inferno Island is the 1st track in Crash Nitro Kart. It is similar to the Crash Team Racing track Crash Cove, both in the fact that it's the first course and that its setting is a beach. Despite the name, it is not an "inferno" island. There is a cave about half way through the race and you exit it at the end of the race. Like in Crash Cove there are 2 shortcuts. Both shortcuts here are exactly the same as in Crash Cove because you have to jump onto a ledge covered with grass and you have to go up a ramp and jump off at the end. CNK challange:

C:To get the C you must take use the little shortcut just right before passing the first bridge at the beggining of the track.

N: The N is quite easy, it is located near the small ramp, make a low jump on the ramp to get the Letter.

K: The K is located near the end of the race, go all the way to right and there should be a ledge there, go up the ledge and grab the Letter.

Shortcuts: There are 2 basic shortcuts on this Track
 * It located at the start of the race, simply turn to the left side and the shortcut should be there.
 * It is located near the end of the race, turn all the way to your left side and there should be a large ledge with a speed boost on top of it. (NOTE: It is highly advised that you do not use this shortcut on time trial challange because it will slow you down.)
