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 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.
