Roo's Tubes is the second race course overall and the second race course of N. Sanity Beach in CTR: Crash Team Racing and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
As the name suggests, is the home track of Ripper Roo, where he is faced in the first boss challenge.
Description[]
This curving underwater course has some medium turns and a couple of large hills to hop off of, but no course obstacles to speak of. Learn it well - you'll be back here later to race the area boss, and the course also appears in the Green and Purple Gem Cups.
Crash Team Racing Prima strategy guide
Like Crash Cove; being one of the first tracks on the game, Roo's Tubes is very easy to win. The track essentially introduces the elements that are frequent in races: Crates lined up in rows of four, Environmental Hazards, etc. It is a basic figure-of-eight shape made of long, blue tunnels and large, rocky caverns. There are also pictures of Ripper Roo on the walls of the caverns. At the end, there is a huge skeleton which racers must drive through to finish. The whole track is within an underwater facility.
The track starts within a small cavern, and quickly proceeds down a short decline through a glass tunnel. There is a short turn to the left through another small cavern with a jump in it, before taking a long, gentle curve to the right through another tunnel, with a few boost pads along the way. At the end of the curve is a steep downhill section with a quick turn to the right, then back to the left at the end. There is a straight section here, before breaking back in to the cavern containing the finish line. Racers can either follow the left curve indicated by the road marked with bones, or take a sharp left turn to cut across the dirt straight to the finish line.
Early screenshot shows how this track used to look a lot greener and had different structures around the glass ceiling.
CTR Challenge[]
- C: Right off the bat you will enter the first tube. After exiting the tube there will be a hill to jump. On the left side of the hill C is waiting. To get C jump before the peak of the hill.
- T: After exiting the last tube, a skeleton arch can be seen. Instead jump on the gravel path on the left to reach T. It is right before the finish line. A word of caution since this stone path slows you down.
- R: When you get the "C" you will enter another tube. After hitting 2 turbo pads, and passing some crates, R will be seen floating a little above the track. To get it, jump off the track. A really big jump is not needed.
Completing this earns the green CTR token. The other greens are found in Coco Park, Polar Pass and Cortex Castle.
