Kart Customization
"Before any race, you have the choice to pick a random choice of kart and driver. However, in the “Karts” menu you’re able to go deep with your selection and cobble together a sleek hovercraft, wobbly jalopy, or rampaging roadster!"

- Official description

The player is able to customize their kart beyond just selecting what playable character to use. Customizable components include the kart body, kart wheels, and extra stickers that can be applied. Components can be bought using Wumpa Coins which can be earned in the game's "Adventure Mode".

Bodies & Decals
"This offers up a variety of chassis types, which will grow in number as you earn more through the game. For example, pick the “Classic” CTR kart body that you’re used to, or ride in the chunky SUV-style “Crikey”, or futuristic “Doom Buggy”."

- Official description From all versions of the game, at least seven different kart bodies can be selected, along with all cars from Crash Tag Team Racing:

There’s a wide variety of wheels to earn; whether you’re using the skinny Six-Pipes rims or the super-chunky Trikee tires, you can have a ton of options in your race prepping!"

Trivia

 * All tracks now have their own designated start line, themed around the track itself, a feature that was planned for the original Crash Team Racing, but scrapped due to technical limitations.
 * If the player taps the “use item” button with nothing equipped, a horn sound will play instead, in a possible nod to later Mario Kart games and Diddy Kong Racing.
 * All of the CNK karts (including the Team Cortex kart which had steering handles and the Team Trance kart which steered with a mind-controlled antenna) with unconventional steering devices, as well as Oxide's hovership, have now been given steering wheels for animation consistency.
