Tokens
Description
These prizes only appear in Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart. After beating a normal race in Adventure mode, revisiting the track lets you find the 3 letters that compose the acronym of the game's title. Collecting all the letters and coming in first place nets you a token. Once you acquire all the tokens of the same color, the associated race cup is unlocked.
Purple-colored tokens are acquired by collecting 20 crystals in an arena before time runs out.
