Overview
The mobile version of Crash Nitro Kart is a simple racing game released for old Java-enabled phones. Besides one or two similarities with the console game, it's mostly a quick distraction from a bygone era when phones had much more limited technology. The game uses basic 2D graphics, and other than the WARPED theme playing in menus, the game is mostly silent besides some bleeps and bloops.
There are 2 modes to choose from: Single Race and Tournament. Single Race is self-explanatory, and Tournament lets you drive through all 4 tracks of an environment in succession, accumulating points based on your position. Get more points than everyone else and you'll win the tourney, unlocking a new environment in the process. There are 3 environments to choose from: City (based on Android Alley), Beach (based on Inferno Island), and Castle (based on Clockwork Wumpa).
Each track is very simple with small allusions to the console version: there are turbo pads, holes to avoid, and 4 different kinds of power-ups. As for the playable roster, you can race as either Crash, Cortex, Coco, or Crunch, and each character has their unique stats.
