Story
Von Clutch, a German cyborg, has created a highly dangerous racing theme park. However, Von Clutch's Black Heart Power Gem has been stolen. He sets up a race to find it, but nobody enters. It is the morning of the last day that Von Clutch can keep on function, and Cortex is chasing Crash, Coco and Crunch. They crash through the gates of the MotorWorld, and Von Clutch pesruades them to enter. To set up each part of the MotorWorld also requires a missing Power gem they need to find.

Crash had just collected the gem for Astro Land, the park's final land. Coco finds a link between all the stolen Power Gems. There was a trail of Wumpa Whip at the scene of every stolen Power Gem. Crash was drinking Wumpa Whip at the time, so naturally, everyone blames him. Willy Wumpa Cheeks then gives himself up. He revelead the Black Gem in his bag and he ran into Astro Land. Crash soon finds him about to blast off with the power gem in a rocket, so he pulls a lever to stop it taking off. Crunch picks Willie up by his nose. Pasadena commands: "All righty you sour fruit, hand over that black power gem!". Cortex then shoots Willie from a machine, even though this was the only time that machine had appeared. Cortex tries to shoot the Bandicoots, but Crunch holds up a piece of metal to defend. Crash then throws a chicken into a rotor of the machine which causes it to malafunction and crash. The bandicoots are awarded the park but Coco returns it to Von Clutch, only to find he had stopped working. Meanwhile, Crash is drinking some Wumpa Whip, and coughs up on the gem, which lands convienently inside Von Clutch. He comes back to life and starts singing, proclaming free passes to the MotorWorld to the bandicoots. Crash then pats him on the back but does it too hard and the gem falls out of Von Clutch's body. Crash then goes back to the car he had at the begining and drives away by himself.
