Norm

Norm is one of Emperor Velo's intergalactic champions and is one of the characters from Crash Nitro Kart. He can divide himself into two different characters, small Norm, his basic form, and Big Norm. Small Norm wears a blue beret a striped turtleneck, and enjoys reading books, something Velo threatens to take away from him as punishment for losing a race. Small Norm sticks to the mime tradition by not speaking at any time at all, while his inner half Big Norm does all of the talking for him. Norm's home track is Out of Time and when racing against Norm he lays down mime crates, but in the Game Boy Advance version of the game he lays down TNT crates instead.

Big Norm
Big Norm is Norm's inner half. While Norm is the quiet, small, and well behaved mime that he is supposed to be, Big Norm is loud, obnoxious, and rude. He is cocky, and despite his actions, he is very confident. For example, upon meeting Team Bandicoot and Team Cortex, he doubted their chances of beating him and Norm, which indeed he was wrong and complemented a well fought race against them on the track. Team Bandicoot took the compliment and told him no hard feelings was met, but in Team Cortex's favor it was a sign of weakness and told him to "Go Away You Filthy Clown!" something that Big Norm did not take lightly. His home track is the same as Norm's Out of Time and lays the same item which are mime crates. But in the Game Boy Advance version he lays down Bowling Bombs instead.

Trivia

 * The big Norm said that small Norm would let him race if he wore the mime outfit, giving the idea that big Norm isn't even a mime because he can talk and doesn't like wearing the mime clothes.
 * Besides Crash, Norm is the only character in the Crash series who doesn't speak at all. (Big Norm is a separate form of Norm therefore he doesn't count.)
