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 is the battle arena in Glacier Park. It is generally an oval shaped arena featuring a cliff edge that circles the entire arena. 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 may be different in 3 or 4 player mode). This arena is set in Glacier Park directly across from Komodo Joe's challenge. The general theme of this arena is a rocky desert, similar to Dingo Canyon, except this arena does not feature any cactus, carcass bones, concreted road or water. Also the sandy terrain of this arena reflects a slightly different color to Dingo Canyon.
