Crash Team Racing was originally a Playstation V1 racing game where players controlled different characters from the Crash Bandicoot universe, most of whom raced in karts. While racing, players used weapons and power-ups to gain advantages over other near-by players which made the game far more fun and addictive than any other typical racer. It was released in 1999 and if you liked Nintendo’s Mario Kart, then this was exactly the Playstation equivalent you could wish for.

No further information on the next-gen version development is known that could reveal whether this is a retail game or Playstation Store title.
